    3. PS-- Steve, You were the one who answered my question about the grave on Fillmore Rd, correct? Was there any reason given or implied about why this man would've been buried out there all alone? Maybe that's the way he wanted it, but it seems a shame he spent all those years by himself, doesn't it? Being a Revolutionary War veteren and all. I talked to my father-in-law again and he thinks he remembers being told, as a child, that it was the grave of George Washington's mailman! I wonder if all those heirs of his that you listed are buried at Forest Hill as well? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Miller" <noskm@cox.net> To: <INPUTNAM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 6:01 PM Subject: [INPUTNAM] Grave on Fillmore Road. > Lisa; > I believe I have the answer to your question about the grave on the Fillmore road. I found this info. in the County Health office one time I was digging around there. The health office had lists of cemeteries in the county and I made copies of most of them. The one you are asking about was called the "Nathaniel Cunningham Grave", located at the NW1/4 SE1/4 section 13-14-4. Approximately 3 1/2 miles east of Greencastle in Greencastle Twp. In addition th Nathaniel's name this listing says the following " N. - VA Regiment Revolutionary War. Government Stone This is the only grave evident at this location.The Heirs of Nathaniel Cunningham is listed complete record book B in the Putnam County Clerk's office were as follows: > Elizabeth Cunningham - Widow > Alexander Cunningham > Amelia Cunningham > Daniel Butler > Sally Butler - Wife of Daniel > Jeremiah Stiles > Susannah Stiles -Wife of Jeremiah > Absalom Brown > Elizabeth Brown -Wife of Absalom > William Bailey > Lucinda Bailey - Wife of William > John W. Cunningham > Benjamin Cunningham > This same reference states that Nathaniel died in 1827." > Now aren't you sorry you asked. For some reason I want to believe that this grave was moved to Forest Hill Cemetery but I can not find the source for that information right now. > > > ==== INPUTNAM Mailing List ==== > Please send research questions to the list rather than the mailing list manager.
