Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia Paper (unknown name) May 28, 1898 De-on-go-wah chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has received an interesting relic from John W. MARSTON of Corfu. It is a piece of white paper which Mr. MARSTON'S grandfather, who was a Revolutionary soldier, wore upon his hat at the storming of Stony Point in July, 1778. All of the American soldiers wore such pieces of paper upon their hats in order that in the darkness the might distinguish each other from their enemies. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department
