He’s not the only American General buried in two places. Stonewall Jackson is buried at VMI. His arm is buried near where it was amputated, complete, I believe, with casket and headstone.
According to the comic book, he is also an ancestor of Bruce “Batman” Wayne.
Fascinating history Ping

According to his record during the American Revolution he would do extremely well in today’s army. Wayne is the general who terminated the conflict with the Indians after the latter inflicted the worst defeat of the U.S. Army in history. Also if you or anyone would like a copy of a biography on General Wayne, just send me an e-mail.
Also, with regard to his nickname “Mad Anthony” this might clear it up.
” It was during that period that General Wayne came to be known as “Mad Anthony.” An Irishman known as Jemy or the Commodore,harmless but with some mental problems, was sometimes utilized by General Wayne as a spy. Jemy had a knack also for becoming inebriated and causing a ruckus. He appeared at the jail just prior to the Yorktown campaign and the sergeant asked who sent him. Jemy responded,
“The general.” Afterward, Jemy inquired: “Is the general
mad or in fun?” And the sergeant responded that “the general was very much displeased.” That prompted Jemy to say: “Anthony is mad. Farewell to you. Clear the coast for the Commodore, mad Anthony’s friend.” From that exchange, the term “Mad Anthony” spread far and wide from camp to camp, and the name stuck.”

and the second is his ghost's New Year's day ride every year searching for some of his missing bones:
Nicknamed 'Mad Anthony' by his troops for his fearlessness and quick temper, General Anthony Wayne of Radnor, Chester County, was one of the best tactical commanders of the American armed forces during the American Revolution.
He survived the war and died in Erie, Pennsylvania, on December 15 1796 while en route home from fighting Indians in Michigan. In accordance with his last wishes, he was buried beneath the blockhouse on Presque Isle. Thirteen years later, his son Isaac went to Erie to dig up the body and take it home for reburial in the family plot in Radnor also in Pennsylvania.
The people in Erie didn't want to have the body taken away so they compromised. They called in Dr James Wallace, who separated the bones from the flesh in a large vat. The general's flesh and clothing were reburied beneath the blockhouse and Isaac put the bones on a wagon and began the long journey home.
Legend has it that the road was bumpy, and that some of the bones fell out of the wagon, somewhere along the 385 mile trail that is today US Route 322. The rest of the general's remains were buried in a grave at St David's Churchyard in Chester County, but every New Year's morning, which is the General's birthday, his ghost rises from the grave and gallops from St David's and back in search of his bones.
