Only two headstones remain, of the many that once stood in burying ground near the Mission House of the "United Brethren," at "Sichem in the Oblong."

The old burying ground was on the Hiram Clark farm, near the western shore of Wequadnach (Indian Pond).

From the History of Dutchess County, NY/Town of Northeast, NY:

An earlier settlement in the town was known as "Sichem." The place was established earlier than 1750 and in 1797 it was numbered among the places that the forefathers once knew, but for many years even then had known no more. In M0RRIS' American Gazeteer, 1797, Sichem is described as "formerly a settlement of the Moravians on the east line of New York State, twenty-five miles southeast of Kingston, on Hudson's River."
