  • (Side note) Daniel Boone visited Pickaway County twice to visit his sister who lived here
  • John Timmons – Sergeant. Buried in New Holland with a stone stating he was a General
  • Kevin is writing a book about his findings on the patriots so they can be remembered. Each patriot has a page of as much information as can be obtained.
