Story Highlights:

The graves of many Revolutionary War soldiers who fought to win the country’s independence have gone unmarked or been lost.

History has not been kind to the graves of the soldiers of the American Revolution. Untold veterans who fought for this country’s independence lie in unmarked graves. Some have been lost entirely. But not in Ross Township where a few of these veterans secured land in the early 1800’s and raised their children in land where they crossed with their Captors after the Massacre on the Ohio River near the mouth of the Great Miami River in 1782.
