Travel to a remote rural church in Washington County, walk past the current cemetery into the woods to the old cemetery, and you'll find both a geocache and the grave of a Revolutionary War Veteran.

Amos Walton is the only Revolutionary War veteran laid to rest in the old section of the burial ground of North Ten Mile Baptist Church, 322 Ridge Church Road, Amity, PA 15311. Behind the church you will find a grass path to the old cemetery. There is a geocache nearby, hidden with permission from the Church.
His marker is barely legible. A stone monument at the entrance to the path down to the old cemetery gives interesting details about all the burials.
