I am looking for the burial place of Pvt. David C. Leeds of the 2nd NJ Calvary regiment. He died at a hospital in Newark, NJ on Aug. 20, 1865. His military service record (MSR) for some reason doesn't have the cemetery location and burial although it documents that he was buried on August 22, 1865.
The MSR also notes that his home before enlistment was Atsion, Burlington County. I don't know if he was buried in Newark or back home in Atsion.
A couple of years ago I was in the area doing research and checked the Bible Church cemetery behind the State Police Barracks but found nothing. I had read somewhere that there is a cemetery on the grounds of the State Park but when I was there it was closed. If there is someone in the area who would be willing to check there or if there is another cemetery in the area I would greatly appreciate it. If you find the grave and could snap a digital picture that would be great too. His wife was Hannah Ann Leeds (King) - I don't know when she died or if she is even buried in the same cemetery.
