"Ohio D.A.R.Roster III" 1956-59 editors said "We are told that about 8,000 REV WAR Soldiers are buried in Ohio.Many lie on their farms with nothing more than fieldstones as markers, or no markers. [The co-editors shared great interest in one of the latter]. These same ladies were very active 1848-58 on the D.A.R. cemetary book of Clermont Co,and according to their book, they found almost no tombstones in Clermont Co pre 1816-17. I don't think they could be bought locally. Assumming the Rev War vets were born 1750-65, they had to live past 50-65 years to have a chance at a tombstone. My Capt-Lt-Rev-JP George Brown's 1814 will made mention of his cemetary being fenced,but no mention of a tombstone. Indeed, he likely lived his last 40 years on the frontier,where there were no tombstones. Likely the Bethel,and Williamsburg cemetaries pre-date 1800. I can think of a few more churchyards from about 1807. But, lets used 1817 as a date to bother hunting a tombstone in Clermont Co.Oh. There is a 1798 GREGG tombstone on the Ky bank. He left descs in n Warren,and s Clermont Co. The 2 best cared for family cemetaries in Clermont Co that I can think of SWING,and the DONHAM. [3,DAY at MT Camel]. The Donham represents the best,and the worst. The Donham family cemetary is chain linked fenced,and mowed,and locked. It's located just at the edge of Spresser Rd. Visit in winter,and you'll see just across Spresser Rd is an over grown cemetary of fieldstones, and one must wonder if dead end Spresser Rd was built over some graves. Certainly,the north driveway in Old Bethel Methodist .at Bantam,Oh cemetary was built over graves. The latter has the tombstones of 7 REV War Vets. and the old part has only 50% tombstones [left]. When East Fork Lake State Park was built about 1970, a family [?] [forgotten churchyard?] cemetary had to be moved. 2 tombstones were known beforehand. A 3RD found during the removal ." and 50+ unmarked graves!" 3 MARKED,AND 50+ UNMARKED GRAVES! 1 of the 3 was a REV WAR Vet. How many of the 50+? ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it. Free software, free e-mail, and free Internet access for a month!
