The African-American Cemetery in Montgomery, New York, once known as the "Colored Cemetery," is less than acre and about an hour and a half from NYC's Times Square. Its National Register of Historic Places registration form says it most likely received its first interments of free and enslaved Africans in the mid-1700s. Of the estimated 170+ marked graves — marked with rough field stones, not formal headstones — only two have inscriptions, and these offer little detail about the person in the plot. "1756" was scratched into one; what appears to be "I Ho 28" into another.
