I had been unable to locate any information other than what is on the gravestone, until I received the following email:
Hi, I am fairly certain that this is John Crary III (John, John, Peter)
who was born 9 March 1753 in Plainfield, Windham County, Connecticut
and, according to the DAR Patriot Index, died in 1843 in Ohio. The Crary
book (2004) states that he is in an unmarked grave in Finney Burying
Ground, Millcreek Township, Hamilton Co., Ohio. If the picture is John
III, then he is not unmarked, I suppose. He married Phebe Cary who was
a fairly well known poet. They migrated to Cincinatti in 1806 along
with her Cary family and the Ballard family. John was in the NY militia
betwen 1776-1782, and then he and two brothers enlisted in the Vermont
militia at Royalton and fought in the Battle of Saratoga as well as
others. In the History of Norwich, VT Goddard and Partridge p. 89 lists
John, William, and James Crary as privates in Col. Peter Olcott's
company in the Revolution.
