http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hcpd/norman/LUZADER/jacob.htm, Known as Third Cemetery of Congregation Shearith 
Israel, this cemetery is located in Manhattan on 21st Street between 6th and 7th Avenues.  It was in use 1829-1851.  
Shearith Israel, the first Jewish congregation in North America, was formed in 1654 by Spanish and Portuguese Jews who 
journeyed from Recife, Brazil, seeking refuge from the Inquisition.  While New Amsterdam's city fathers did not 
recognize freedom of worship, they respected the Jews' right to their own consecrated burial ground. Shearith Israel 
purchased the cemetery plot on West 21st Street in 1829 for $2,750.  It, too, was on the outskirts of the expanding 
city, which for sanitary reasons had prohibited interment below Grand Street after the yellow fever epidemic of 1822.  
In 1832 the congregation bought land extending the cemetery east to Sixth Avenue and south to 20th Street.  Fifty years 
later the land was sold to Hugh O'Neal, who built a dry goods store there.  Shearith Israel used the cemetery for 
burials until 1851.  That year, New York City prohibited burials south of 86th Street and the establishment of any new 
cemeteries within city limits.
