Another shock to locate a Revolutionary Veteran grave in this large, old cemetery. Marker is located on the side of a small family tomb, also featured a War of 1812 Vet. From research, de Ussos family name was "Americanized" to Ourso, which is a somewhat common name in the area.
It is also learned that DeUssos participated in the fight for American Independence by serving under General Bernardo de Galvez. He was a First Sergeant in the 17th Regiment, LA INF.
