John Voorhees - Manalapan, NJ - American Revolutionary War Veteran Graves on Waymarking.com

At the Battle of Monmouth, General George Washington forced the retreat of the British Army...a triumph for both General Washington and the Continental Army. On the northwest corner of the historic Monmouth Battlefield, the Old Tennent Church was used as a field hospital for wounded soldiers. Now the graves of soldiers from this, and many future wars stand in honor.

In the waves of graves that sit to the right of the church, this headstone marks the grave of John Voorhees, Revolutionary War Veteran. Voorhees was a Private in the 2nd Battalion of the New Jersey Militia in the Revolutionary War.
