Northwest and Southwest of 126th Street and 2nd Avenue intersectionThe workmen engaged in excavating a foundation for the new car house of the Troy and Lansingburgh Horse Railroad Company, just North of the Waterford Bridge, yesterday afternoon exhumed a large number of human bones, and two clay pipes, one of which was partially filled with tobacco. About four years ago similar bones were dug up a few hundred feet South of this location, by the owner of the property.“Exhuming Human Bones.” Troy Daily Times. October 12, 1861: 3The excavations for the Horse Railroad depot are upon ground formerly occupied as an old Indian burying ground, which accounts for the discovery of bones, but it is difficult to account for the discovery of the “vital parts” alluded to by a cotemporary, as many years have elapsed since they were deposited there.“Lansingburgh.” Troy Daily Times. August 6, 1866: 3 col 4.☞ Some workmen excavating for the foundation of a new office for the Troy and Lansingburgh Horse Railroad Co., near the end of the bridge, on Saturday found the skeleton of an immense Indian. Most of the bones were in good condition, and the teeth in the jaws were all sound. This makes some eight or nine skeletons discovered within a few years in this vicinity.Lansingburgh Gazette.

Wing, who has the contract for grading and filling up the street. From the appearance of the skull and bones it is probably the remains of a stalwart negro. Last summer a similar skeleton was [?]ed up by some persons in Mohawk street [122nd Street]. When Edward Tracy, a few years since, dug the cellar lot for his malt houses on the east side of River street, a large amount of bones were exhumed. The latter spot was probably the site of an Indian burying ground. Mr. Handrahan buried the skeleton first spoken of on Saturday evening, but on going to the spot on Monday morning it had been removed by some unknown person.“Our Village and Vicinity.” Lansingburgh Chronicle. August 1, 1865: 3 col 1.In grading Clinton street [121st Street], the bones of a stalwart negro were unearthed by the contractor, last Friday. It is thought that an old Indian burying ground was located there.“Lansingburgh.” Troy Daily Times. August 2, 1865: 3 col 3.
