Cousins: As we celebrate the 228th birthday of our great country, I would like for us to start a string here listing all of our ancestors that we know of that are from the area or related to our surnames that fought in the great American Revolution. I will start by listing the few that I know. 1. Joseph HASTINGS - Settled in Bedford County at Hastings Campground. He is buried at the Hastings Campground Cemetery with a soldier of the American Revolution marker. I am a descendant of him. 2. Joseph GREER - Buried in Greer Cemetery west of Hannah Gap in Lincoln County. He carried the Message of victory from King's Mountain to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia. There are ties to his family to many of the area. 3. John MEDEARIS - Buried in Medearis Cemetery in Marshall County. He settled the area in Southeastern Marshall County, east of Belfast known as Liberty Valley. There is a Revolutionary Soldier marker at his grave. 4. Peter LUNA - Buried in Luna Cemetery. There is a DAR marker at the grave. He is connected to many of us through his family. 5. William JORDAN - Buried in Williamson County. My wife is a descendant of him. If you know of names to add to the list please do so. Bobby Prosser prossergenealogy@comcast.net
