The following historical information on the church and cemetery was taken from the documentation submitted to the National Register of Historic Places, National Park Services: In 1853, James H. Weeks and his wife Susan, purchased a tract of land near their home for the purpose of building an Episcopal Church. Upon completion of the Church, Mr. and Mrs. Weeks named the edifice, St. Andrew's Church, for the day on which a beloved grand-daughter had been interred in 1850. The Rev. Charles H. Gardiner, missionary of St. Paul's in Patchogue, conducted the first service in 1854. William Weeks son of William Jones Weeks and Mary Croswell Weeks was the first person to be buried in the cemetery in 1856. I complied this information while researching my family tree. There are four individuals listed that are relatives, Jules and Desiree Dion ROYERE are my great great grandparents. Honore and Marie DION are my great uncle and aunt. (Note: Marie DION's date of birth is listed incorrectly at the interment.com site. It has been corrected in this document.) *************************** Transcription starts below *********************************************** Surname Given Name Birthdate Deathdate Age Inscription Note ??
