It is on the west side of NYS Route 14, directly across the road from a house at 4674 Route 14, just south of the Chemung County/Schuyler County line. It is in a farm field, owned by Rex Frost. This site was rediscovered on 8/26/2011 by farmer Frost while he was tilling his field. He had just purchased a new tractor capable of tilling deeper than any used there before, and unearthed the skeletal remains of one person. This site has the remains of Michael Coryell, who died in 1819 at the age of 19. There are said to be remains of about 16 persons at this site, but Coryell is the only one known.

Location: Located on the north side of Johnson Hollow Road between King Road & Hill Road.

Location: Exact location unknown. Located approximately west off the Hibbard Road, north of the intersection with Townley Hill Road (Martin’s Hill), on property at 1331 Hibbard Road owned by David Webb. This was the first cemetery in the town and was the burial place of Horace Tupper in 1827. Tupper resided on this plot and was the first supervisor of the Town of Catlin from 1823 to 1826. This cemetery name is sometimes incorrectly applied to the South School Cemetery.

Location: Located southwest of the original intersection of the original Cowan Road (now Mary Road) with McFail Road in a farm field owned by Jonathan Jones. Mr. Jones says that previous owner, Roscoe McFail petitioned the town to let him bury the grave stones so he could farm atop the site. Roscoe meticulously excavated and buried each stone over its proper grave, about 3’ down. The exact location is now hard to determine since the Cowan Road has since been moved from its original location. Roscoe wanted Cowan Road moved perpendicular to McFail Road to square off his fields for easier plowing. The town refused to do it. Roscoe discovered a regulation that said a road had to be more than a specified distance from a water source. He proceeded to dig a well just east along the edge of the road. The town then had to move the road to its current perpendicular position. It is believed that the cemetery is most likely now on the east side of Mary Road. The stones for this cemetery have never been recorded. That well is still there in the brush line along the east edge of the field.
