Thanks for the article. I had no idea that the graves were so poorly taken care of. My 1st cousin 7 times removed died there.

The Patriots could not get to them until after the war, and that was 7 years later when there were—evidently—no signs of the mass grave. The Brits occupied all of NYC for the entire war, including Brooklyn, which did not actually become part of NYC until 1898, I believe.
