SAR updates - Our chapter, working a long with the Sons of the American Revolution {SAR}, Ebenezer Zane Chapter are slowly locating some of the burial locations for these veterans, listed above.

Note - many of the veteran's were buried on their family farms. With extensive deed searches, we can sometimes located the land these veteran's obtained as part of their payment for fighting in the American Revolution. In many cases, the veteran was buried on his own land, or a neighboring family farm. These rural areas have been heavily mined and logged down through. No trace remains for most of these rural pioneer family cemetery. Even the old timers that have given testimonials of spotting ancient gravestones in the wooded area have now given up on locating these tombstones.

When a veteran is proved to have lived and died in Jefferson County, all attempts are made to locate his exact burial site. When the site is gone or has been destroyed, maybe by local mining or logging projects, our chapter and/or the local SAR strive to have a bronze marker placed in the nearest cemetery as a memorial to that patriot and his descendants. The markers are installed in the township and nearest the area the veteran may have been buried.

If you know of a Revolutionary Veteran that may have died or may be buried in Jefferson County and can help identify any records that may assist in proving his death and/or burial, please contact Flora L. VerStaten at fverstraten@dishmail.net. Our chapter is striving to keep this list as accurate and updated as possible.
