Thanks for your response, Cindy! Although we know Peter Shull lived in Burnt Prairie with one of his daughters, (Elizabeth "Betsy" Shull Hunsinger, wife of Jacob Hunsinger; or Katherine Shull Mathews Bottoms, wife 1st of Jacob Mathews & wife 2nd of William Bottoms), there has been speculation about his place of burial. Here are some sources for anyone interested: Aug. 1852, Certificate of Pension issued to Anna Dorthea Shull, widow of Pvt. Peter Shull, to commence 2 Jan. 1849. See 29 June 1852 Ohio County, Kentucky statement that evidence was presented to the Judge that Peter Shull, a Revolutionary Pensioner on the Illinois Roll, died in 1834, leaving Anna Dorotha Shull his widow until the 2nd day of January 1849 when she died in this County leaving Peter Shull and Samuel Shull of Ohio County, Ky. and Mrs. Elizabeth Huntsinger and Mrs. Katharine Bottoms of White County, Illinois the surviving children, with Mary M. Huntsucker who has since died leaving heirs. One cousin writes: "A great-granddaugher said Peter became ill and wanted to return to Ky. for his last days and burial, and that the family started. One story said there was high water; another said he died at Henderson, Ky., and the family returned with him to White County, Ill." Irene and Lucille Funkhouser wrote: "Peter Scholl served as a private in the Revolutionary Army in 1777-78 under Capt. Frederick Cutts and Gen. Potter; also two months guarding prisoners at York. After the war he lived for three or four years in York County, Pennsylvania, probably in Germany Township. Then he lived two and 1/2 years at Fort Cumberland, Maryland; then for seven years in Fayette County, Pennsylvania where he was a householder in the 1790 census; then he went down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to Green River, Kentucky, up that stream to Stum's Landing, where he settled and lived 35 years, then he lived a short while in White County, Illinois, where he was pensioned in 1833. His pension # is 11363. Esther Carter Harris says he has a crescent moon shaped marker placed in the Carmi, Illinois cemetery by the DAR (the old cemetery). He also has his name placed on the White County Veteran's Memorial in the Old City Park on Main Street near the courthouse in Carmi. On Memorial Day a flag has always been placed in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Burnt Prairie, by a veteran in his honor with the understanding that Peter Scholl is buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery near his daughter, Elizabeth Scholl Hunsinger. " If anyone else is working on this family, would love to hear from you.
