“... a Revolutionary War hero ...”
WTAF !
If he were a CW-1 hero maybe I could understand this because sadly there are many folk still fighting that event. But a hero from the 1770 conflict? It boggles the mind ...
Looks like you need to read up on “The Battle of King’s Mountain,” and other important battles where sons of Tennessee fought in the revolutionary war.
That they were buried in their home state is a testiment to their courage and success in fighting for our Republic. They achieved victory and died of old age in their home state and were honorably buried.
Revolutionary War, Civil War... It's all the same if you are a yahoo completely ignorant of history.
