 Compatriot Bryant Welch presents American Revolution reference to Rappahannock County Librarian Amanda Weakley |
The Culpeper Minutemen Chapter, Virginia Society, Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) recently donated the book Genealogical, Burial, and Service Data for Revolutionary War Patriots Buried in Virginia to the Rappahannock County Public Library.
SAR Compatriot Bryant Welch of Castleton presented this reference to librarian Amanda Weakley on behalf of the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter. Compiled by Myron E. Lyman, Sr., this comprehensive reference includes available detailed data about each Revolutionary War Patriot buried in Virginia including rank, cemetery, pension, and spouse. There is also a section with photographs of memorials to Patriots buried in cemeteries throughout the Commonwealth.
The appendices include a Patriot and cemetery list by county and independent city. The list of Patriots buried in Rappahannock County includes surnames of founding families and current residents such as Amiss, Griffin, Hitt, Jackson, Lillard, Miller, and Woodard. The cemetery name, GPS coordinates, and location directions for Rappahannock’s Patriot burials are included in the cemetery section.
“We thank the Culpeper Minutemen for this important addition to our reference collection. Residents should take a look and see if you can find your Rappahannock ancestors or family in the index,” said Ms. Weakley.
“It is important to research, remember, and honor ancestors who fought to ensure our freedoms,” said Welch. “By joining the SAR, I have been able to learn more about my family’s participation in the American Revolution in Virginia and South Carolina.”
