The majority, 52, were of the rank of private, two being captains. Pennsylvania is represented by 34 and Virginia 19. Among 62 men is one woman, Blanche Babb. She provided patriotic service feeding soldiers of Virginia. In all there are 63 veterans of the Revolutionary War buried in Greene County, Ohio.
Without doubt there are others. Those whose service we could verify, however their burial location remained uncertain, as well as those whose burial we could confirm, while their service remained questionable. Not to mention those whose names were not on the original list of 215 we vetted, their burial locations and details of service having been lost to time.
Using both print and digital resources the staff of the Greene County Room verified service in the Revolutionary War and confirmed burial in Greene County for 63 veterans. These resources are available, as well as staff assistance, in the Greene County Room for researching your genealogy and potentially your connection to a veteran of the Revolutionary War.
