Lot Search - Mound Cemetery; Racine WI - American Revolutionary War Veteran Graves on Waymarking.com

From the Wisconsin Society Sons of the American Revolution (visit link)

Lot Search (1762-1851) was born March 8, 1762 at Kingwood, New Jersey. He enlisted at Mansfield, New Jersey at age 15, and served short periods from 1777 to 1779.

Among his units was Captain Daniel Bray's Company of Colonel Joseph Beaver's Second New Jersey Regiment. He participated in the Battle of Monmouth.

Search enlisted again in June 1779 and served as a private in Captain Cornelius Johnson's Company in action across the Blue Mountains.

Toward the close of the war, while in Southampton Township, Pennsylvania, Search enlisted for two months. But as peace was declared, he served only 20 days as a private in Captain Gordon Adam's Company.

After the war, Lot Search moved from New Jersey to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and then to New York. In 1843 he moved to Racine, Wisconsin, where he died at the age of 89 on December 11, 1851.
