All those listed are believed to be buried at the poorhouse site.

The following is a compilation of records found in the County Hall of Records, the New Paltz Town Clerk's office, the Huguenot Historical Society records and various newspaper accounts from the Haviland-Herdgard Historical Collection at the Elting Library.

The records give the name, death date, age, race, cause of death and town where available. The names are those believed to be buried at the site, not necessarily all of those who died in residence. The official cause of death was not included in the records prior to 1880. Therefore, this database includes the reason for admission in the "Cause of Death" field.
