Josiah Hornblower is buried in this cemetery along with his wife and many of Belleville’s early settlers. Sixty-two Revolutionary soldiers are also buried here, and at least three more Revolutionary veterans are not listed because they fought in other regiments: Col. Van Courtland, who is buried in the Van Courtland crypt, and Captains Robert and Gerard Rutgers, whose monuments are in the Rutgers plot, making a total of sixty-five Revolutionary veterans. The Rutgers buried here are related to Col. Henry Rutgers, for whom Ruters University is named.
