Fort
GreeneVille DAR Dedicates Four American Revolutionary War Graves
Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR dedicated four American Revolutionary War
graves on Sept 16. Three grave markers were dedicated in the New
Madison, Ohio area and one in Versailles, Ohio.
William Brodrick in Old Friendship Cemetery was in the New Jersey
Milita with ranks of Sergeant and Private. He was at Valley Forge and
marched across the Delaware above Trenton, New Jersey, Battle of
Monmouth.
Peter Rush in First Universal Cemetery was in the Bedford County
Pennsylvania Militia with the rank of Private.
Joseph Wiley in Providence Cemetery was in the Virginia Militia with a
rank of Private. He served mostly in the Carolinas.
Zachariah Hole in Black Swamp/Greenlawn Cemetery was in the Virginia
Militia and served under Col. George Rogers Clark.
Also attending the dedications were descendants for Brodrick, Rush and
Hole. Descendants ranged from 5th to 7th great grandchildren/uncle
lineage. VFW Post 7262 representative Don Dietrich was also present due
to the VFW's generous donation for purchasing markers.
Fort GreeneVille Chapter would like to thank all those who have helped
in this endeavor especially the township and cemetery trustees. The
project is still ongoing with several more dedications being planned.
