Does anyone know if a cemetery called "Mott's Flat Cemetery" exists in Sullivan County? I found an online family tree that says one of my ancestors (surname: ROSE) is buried there, but I can't seem to find any information on the cemetery itself. This family tree lists the cemetery as being in Livingston Manor, Sullivan County. On the Sullivan County GenWeb site, there's a "Westfield Flats Cemetery" in Rockland...I'm wondering if maybe that and "Mott's Flat" are the same place?

Also, does anyone know of any cemeteries in Roscoe, Sullivan County? Apparently I've got a relative (surname: SEELEY) buried there as well. Are all Sullivan County burial records on file anywhere, maybe at the county level or something? The online transcriptions I've found - and even just lists of the cemeteries in the county - seem to be rather hit-and-miss.

Mott's Flats is an area in Livingston Manor, near the covered bridge. I've been there a couple times. The old Mott homestead is the house nearest the bridge, and if you continue down the road, under the Route 17 overpass, you eventually come to an old, very rustic country cemtery, just outside of a newer Catholic cemetery.

When I say it's very old and rustic, I mean that there are only a handful of inscribed gravemarkers. The vast majority of graves are marked only with a fieldstone, so the only ones who would have known who was buried there were the family and friends who laid their loved one to rest.

Of the formal markers, there are several Motts, and related families. It's been a few years since I was out, so I don't recall the other names.

There are two cemeteries, I believe, in Livingston Manor. One is behind the Livingston Manor Methodist Episcopal Church. I have attached a picture. There is another cemetery down the road on a hill, but I think that might be a Catholic cemetery.

In Roscoe, there is a cemetery in the center of town behind the Roscoe Presbyterian Church. Roscoe was Rockland. I have also attached a picture of that one. There is another cemetery across the river in Roscoe, but it didn't appear to have a lot of old graves.

There is also a large cemetery called Westfield Flats. I can't remember exactly where that one is.

I have walked through so many of these cemeteries and your family name is common if my memory serves me right. There are some transcriptions of some of these cemeteries. Not all of them though. Contact the Roscoe Library, someone there might be able to help you - it is a very tiny town.

I live in Florida or I would take a look for you.

Mott's Flat Cemetery is a mile down the Willowemoc River from Livingston Manor, NY.
You can find some information on the cemetery and the Motts on http://LivingstonManor.net - search for Mott and you will find a few pictures but no cemetery list.
There were many Rose's that lived there in the mid 1800's as well as today.
There is a yahoo discussion group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LivingstonManor that you could join and submit you questions. There are many in the group that have extensive information on the cemetery and the Roses.
