2nd of 3 children infants that died and were buried in St. John's per a letter from his father John Copcutt to relatives in England written 8 Sep 1849....he describes the graveyard as follows:
"Above the upper Mill Pond [in Yonkers] and beyond the limits of the map, the Saw Mill River runs along a fine narrow valley, called the Valley of Saw Mill River with some fine flat meadow land through which the River winds its way it follows the course of the Hudson very nearly, so that but 2 1/2 miles from my father's to the Valley across the hills on the side of the Valley towards the Hudson the hills are generally rocky and not fit for cultivation but on the other side the land is generally farming land. There are two ways to Tarrytown, one along the River which is of course the nearest the other along this Valley which is a very pleasant way for a change and the road is much more even. It's about 15 miles to the source of the stream along this valley. The burial ground where our three children were buried lies in this valley on a rising ground about two miles from the village [Yonkers] here."
