I read in "Scientific American" online, in the "Ask A Chemist" section I
think on collagen. In there it stated it is primarily from cow hide and
this TPQ is interesting for Jell-O:
"For those interested in history, we add the following details: flavored
gelatin was invented by Peter Cooper, the founder of the Cooper Union for
the Advancement of Science and Art, in collaboration with his wife, Sarah.
General Foods began marketing flavored gelatin under the trademarked Jell-O
name in 1897."

I have researched the area around "Cooper Square" fro Parsons Inc., their
former client Wall Associates. There were and still are marble vault
cemeteries and removed cemeteries on some of the properties proposed in
the "Cooper Square Urban Renewal Area" once to encompass 25 blocks of the
Lower Eastside as stated lately three blocks north of Houston St. There was
also a ropewalk there (big long narrow barn where rope was wound) like in
the vicinity of the African Burial Ground. In fact just a block or two
south of Houston St. and Bowery, on one of the maps is a "Negroe Burial
Ground" perhaps. I don't know if it was moved like the Methodist and the
Quakers to Long Island. Reminded me of the "West Side Highway Proposal" in
Buffalo, NY I once studied for Urban Anthropology at U.B. there with
Terence Tatje, Ph.D.
