This is my first post on Rootschat, so please excuse any mistakes.  I am the historian for the New York Marble Cemetery on lower Manhattan, www.marblecemetery.org.  One of our vaults was purchased jointly in 1831 by Rachel Willetts Allen Coskry, the widow of hosier Nathaniel McCoskry/Coskry, and her brother-in-law, John H. Shephard.  There are about 15 burials, 1831-1880.  The earliest half of these are McCoskry family members; the later ones are Shephards.  I am going to try to attach the annotated burial list with footnotes.  I hope that many of you can make additions and corrections.  If I don't succeed with the attachment, I'll try again or ask for help.  Thank you - Anne Brown
