Hi Karen, I found the following info in the two (2) cemetery surveys at St. Martin's Cemetery: COBOURN, Joseph Who departed this life April 5 1829 AD in the 53rd year of his age. COBOURN, Lydia Died 28 Jan 1863 Aged 87 years COBOURN, Margaret T. Wife of David COBOURN who died August 15 1805 Age 29 years 2 months 11 days COBOURN, Rebecca B. (?) 1817 (?) age (?) 4 years COBOURN, Susanna B. no dates COBOURNE, Joseph -1833 COBURN, Eleanor Sep 1896 (buried) COBURN, Hannah Oct 1822 " COBURN, Lydia -1849 I don't know if your ancestor's "old gravestone," could be found -- time & vandals have taken their total on the stones. If you can try to come down for the Soldier & Sailor Walk Memorial dedication on 24 May 2002 -- I think you will enjoy it. :) Here is what it will say on the Memorial Plaque: ======================================================== The Soldier and Sailor Walk Memorial Dedicated to the men buried at Saint Martin's Church Cemetery (1699) who bravely served their country in the following wars: Revolutionary War 1775 - 1783 War of 1812 1812 - 1815 Mexican War 1846 - 1848 Civil War 1861 - 1865 Spanish-American War 1898 May your names not just lie on dusty pages, in history books and on worn gravestones, but be engraved in our hearts for all eternity. Dedicated: May 24, 2003 ========================================================= Yes, the records do say Joseph was in the Revolutionary War. :) Here is the reference information: COBOURN, Joseph -1829 Upper & Lower Chichester Militia * Received stone 23 Nov 1999 PA Pvt., 3rd class 1782 Muster Pool Chichester PA Company Spring & Fall Season Ref: “Pennsylvania Archives,” Fifth Series, Vol. 5, Chester County. The memorial is under construction & I will e-mail you the first pictures that were taken by Jack CHAMBERS about a week or two ago. I will, also, be e-mailing you more if on the COBOURN Family & other's doing research on this surname, in our area. I don't know, just how, they fit into to your family but you can keep the info for future use. Furthermore, I will send your query to the Delaware Co., mailing list -- someone else may be able to help you in your search. :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) In a message dated 10/15/2 10:02:20 PM, SouthrnSpice40 writes: << Dear Mrs. Imburgia, I just found your site on the web and located what I think may be my great, great, great grandfather Joseph Cobourn. Your date of death seems to coincide with the date of death I have. May you please tell me if you have anything else on him or his wife Lydia Keyser Cobourn, also buried in St. Martin's Cemetery. I have her death as January 28, 1863. No one in the family, including my 92 year old grandfather knows about her parents or Joseph's. Did Joseph really serve in the Revolutionary War??? No one ever mentioned it but we don't have anything on him. I live in Limerick, Pa, and am trying to come down to see the grave sites where my Grandancestors are buried. Would I be able to get pictures and any other information about either of them. I am soo excited! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this e-mail. I look forward to hearing from when it is convenient for you. Sincerely, Karen Cobourn >>
