Dear Joan, I am not too familiar with military cemeteries 'anywhere', so I am going to forward your question to the people who know. But thanks for thinking of me, sorry not being able to be more helpful.

Fecher, Ph.D. "Ancestral Portraits of 19th Century Americans," University of Dayton Press, 1978, page 68-69 as follows: "It appears that a brother of Arnold [Lennartz] had migrated to America in Mid-18th Century, fought in the American War of Independence and was buried in a military cemetery in New York State. A marker, inscribed with the name Lennartz and year of internment are striking testimony of its possible credence." Do you have any information on where I might locate the referenced military cemetery? I would love to locate the marker. Thank you very much, Joan Cook S.Carolina

Wouldn't either the US govt or the State of NY have records of a military cemetery ? Presumably, they would still be caretakers of it ...either through the US Park service or the NY state equivalent. ~malinda John Merz wrote: > Dear Joan, > I am not too familiar with military cemeteries 'anywhere', > so I am going to forward your question to the people who know. > But thanks for thinking of me, sorry not being able to be > more helpful. > John Merz www.cgo.wave.ca/~hessian > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Joan Cook" <jcook11@sc.rr.com> > To: <hessian@cgocable.net> > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 12:14 PM > Subject: Military cemetery in New York State > > There is mention in a family history book written by Con J.

Here's a website of the library within the city of Troy, NY to which your question concerning the military hospital/cemetery can be addressed. There is also a listing of libraries within this url and at the bottom of the url the webmaster's email address to which you can use to get information. I lived in the Saratoga County area for 10 years and I know that there is some historical areas you should investigate. Watervliet, NY is another area. Saratoga Springs, NY, where the British were defeated is within the same area. From these libraries (within the second url) you can gain information as to where these cemeteries are located or where the nearest genealogical or historical society is located (which are usually very near a library) that will assist you. Rhonda Houston http://www.uhls.org/troy/ http://www.uhls.org/uhlshtml/ This is a listing of all the libraries that are within that area of NY the places are mentioned above. -----Original Message----- From: Ann Keegan [mailto:akeegan@c3net.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 8:41 PM To: AMERICAN-REVOLUTION-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [A-REV] Re: Military cemetery in New York State there is a Military hospital and cemetery in Troy NY when it came into being I don,t know Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: "malinda" <mthiesse@swbell.net> To: <AMERICAN-REVOLUTION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 7:13 PM Subject: Re: [A-REV] Re: Military cemetery in New York State > Wouldn't either the US govt or the State of NY have records of > a military cemetery ?
