How wonderful that so many have headstones! I don't know where any of my Rev War ancestors are buried (although one does have a marker, I'm just not sure he's buried in that cemetery).
ReplyDeleteRegarding your Revolutionary War soldiers listing and cemetery stones, let's just say I am impressed!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful compilation! I believe my 6th great-grandfather John Bossart may have served with your 4th great-grandfather Urban Betz -- both as privates in Samuel Patton's militia under Lt Col Culbertson's 4th battalion.
