REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS BURIED
in GEAUGA COUNTY, OHIO
Source: A Record of the Revolutionary Soldiers buried in
Lake County, Ohio, etc.
by New Connecticut Chapter D.A.R., Painesville, Ohio
Until 1840, Lake and Geauga Counties were one,
under the name of Geauga, most of these Revolutionary Soldiers who were
pensioners received their pension under the Act of 1832, while Lake Co.,
was a part of Geauga.
The primary work of New Connecticut Chapter was
locating Lake County's soldiers, but in so doing, we have located by townships
the following list for Geauga Co., hoping some one will be patriotic enough to
make it a complete list, giving the military record of each, with dates
of birth and death, and the place of burial.
