    1. Re: [AMERICAN-REVOLUTION] 1st New Hampshire Regt., James Harwood
    2. >>Not to belabor this, but Pvt. Harwood was probably buried by his fellow soldiers wherever the encampment was, probably with a wooden marker.  The soldiers themselves were probably not being paid, and unless there were a stonemason among them who had his tools along on the trek they would have been unable to provide a permanent marker.  This was a perilous situation, and it is unlikely that a family member came for the remains.  There may be a memorial marker for him in a home cemetery.<< That's what I think......as to location, I'm only hoping to find some record that says where he was buried, as in possibly a memorial marker or a list of soldiers who may have been buried - for instance - at Hope Lodge (which was the site of the Whitemarsh Encampment, and served as a field hospital for a short while). I do have the NARA rolls narrowed down to several that I want to look at. :-) Dianne
