The forgotten Revolutionary War heroes of the Oak Ridge Reservation
Dennis Eggert and D. Ray Smith/Special to The Oak Ridger
My friends Fred Eiler and Dennis Eggert have shared their research into the Revolutionary War soldiers who are known to be buried in cemeteries located within the city limits of Oak Ridge. Dennis has compiled the information below for “Historically Speaking.” I am pleased to bring this information to you readers. I also hope we can properly recognize these Revolutionary War veterans with at least one historical marker.
I have long been interested in recognizing these individuals, but did not have the needed information to confirm the location of the burials. Thanks to Dennis for compiling the results of much research. Enjoy the first half of Dennis’ report on these soldiers and their resting places.
