Hopewell Cemetery (Hopewell, Ontario, NY, USA) Burial List
This information is provided by Burr Cook (BurrCook@aol.com) on 8-Feb-1996
The Hopewell Cemetary is an old one. Located in the Town of Hopewell, County of Ontario about 3 miles East of Canandaigua, New York. It is on Mumby Road just a few hundred yards south of U. S. Route 20 which is the original route from Albany to the Genesee Valley and later on became the doorway to the frontier. My (Burr Cook) ancestors, the Gates family, a large number of which are buried at Hopewell, were early settlers in the area, coming from Keene NH. Route 20, passing through the middle of the township, was at that time a log road and the first toll turnpike in the state long before the thruway was thought of. Shortly after Sullivans Army chased the Indians away, Daniel Gates and four brothers came from Keene to Hopewell. There are several soldiers of the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Union Army on whose graves flags are placed on Memorial day etc... The Cooks buried there are also from my family and I am related to the Wykoffs. All but two grave sites are full accept for two which belong to my mother. The list of names was copied from the cemetary record books which I have because my family are now the trustees of the cemetary. The list was compiled in 1935 by previous trustees. As soon as the snow is gone I will take information from the stones and add that to the file. Most of the early settlers of the town are buried in this cemetary.
