Note: Tim-- Sorry for the delay in replying to your email. I don't have a stone census for St. Mary's cemetery in Potsdam. Some possibilities would be to call St. Mary's Church, 17 Lawrence Ave. Potsdam, NY 13676 (phone 315 265-9680), and ask them for help. Also probably the Potsdam Museum has a stone census, and also the St. Lawrence County Historical Assn in Canton, would probably have a stone census for St. Mary's. If you would like phone numbers or mailing addresses for any of the above, please let me know. SLCHA is on line, http://it.stlawu.edu/~slcha/index.htm, but not with the type of info that you are looking for, but they will assist you in anyway they can. Hope this info is helpful.
