Revolutionary War Soldiers Buried in Illinois http://genealogytrails.com/ill/revwar1.html John Hart- was a native of Virginia. He served with George Rogers Clark in 1776 before coming to Illinois, and was in several battles with the Indians. He came to Illinois in 1826, coming from Hardin county, Kentucky, first to Wayne county, then to Coles county, Paradise township, where he died November 19, 1833. He was pensioned in 1831. ("Illinois Revolutionary War Veteran Burials", 1917) *James Beard - *was born in Pennsylvania. He served in the war from Cumberland county in the 2d company, 4th battalion, under Col. Samuel Culbertson, in 1782, and the same year with Capt. John McConnell. He removed to Kentucky and in 1810 came to Lawrence county, Illinois. Soon after the close of the war of 1812 he was plowing in a field when an Indian who had a fancied grievance against him, stole up behind him and shot him, killing him instantly. Thus came the tragic close of a life of service for his country. He was never married. He lies buried near Heathville, Crawford county, but is near the line in Lawrence county. "Illinois Revolutionary War Veteran Burials", 1917 *Christopher Coy* - was from Maryland, where he was born in 1761. He enlisted in 1779 under Capt. Henry Gaither, and Col. William Smallwood, serving to the close of the war. He was in the siege of Yorktown. He removed to Kentucky and from there to Lawrence county, Illinois, where he died October 12, 1839, and is buried in the Spring Hill cemetery. He was pensioned.
