Thanks for the correction--I should have checked my photos before writing this. He is buried ( not a private cemetery) in the Old Hill Cemetery in Salisbury, Somerset Co., Pa. My relatives referred to it as the old briar patch. I was shocked to see it so well groomed when we went there in 2003. His father, Casper Durst, Rev.War Soldier , is also buried there with a field stone marking his grave site as C X D, 1839. Really? I don't think I saw that when I was there. Course it was foggy and early morning when we arrived there on our way out of town. I did get a picture of a field stone as I recall. If anyone is interested I am attempting to verify his Rev.War service to have a marker placed on his grave. I need any Rev.War documentation that the D.A.R. may have accepted. There is a marker on the grave site of John Lightfoot Durst that was erected in the 1960's honoring his military service. I see. It was decorated when we arrived at the cemetery. I have the 1966 Ross Durst lineage. Have many Durst relatives. But I don't know anything more beyond that information. I suspect that John Lightfoot Durst carries his mother's maiden name as his middle name--some feel that's a Native American name. Any information on his maternal grandparents? Lois
