Located in Bethel Cemetary, this is one of 14 Revolutionary War Veteran graves located here. They have all had new markers placed this year as part of a Boy Scout project. This marker, however, does not match the original headstone it is placed with. The original headstone appears to be for Wm. Wilson, Sr. who died June 25, 1815.
