Lansingburgh entries from New York State Death Index

This page lists deaths from 1881 to 1900 that were recorded in the Town of Lansingburgh or named parts thereof (North Lansingburgh, Speigletown, Grant’s Hollow, Pleasantdale) and included in the New York State Death Index.

There are also included three later deaths, 1901, 1902, and 1944, recorded in parts of Lansingburgh, but otherwise deaths from 1901 onwards would have been recorded as Troy, or for Northern Lansingburgh (from the current northern boundary of the City of Troy to the Deep Kill) as Schaghticoke. The New York State Death Index unfortunately doesn’t include city ward information, so knowing which deaths identified as Troy for 1901 on had specifically occurred in Lansingburgh is not possible from that index.

The digital scans of the New York State Death Index obtained by the not-for-profit activist group Reclaim the Records can be seen at https://archive.org/search.php?query=%22New+York+State+Death+Index%22&sort=titleSorter . Entries in the Death Index are alphabetical by surname.

The spreadsheet here was created with the help of Ancestry.com’s optical character recognition they’d done on the scans obtained by Reclaim the Records and therefore may contain some errors or omissions, particularly in instances where the scanned document was especially faint. There are some apparent duplicate entries in the Index, e.g. Scheffenstein A. and Scheffletine A. would seem to be the same person.
