My Cousin Arron Mershon died in this battle protecting us from the invaders. He was one of the lucky ones that his body was removed and taken home for burial. He got a gravestone. Most of the dead did not. The British burred the dead in a mass grave that was not marked. It was 15 years before Americans got back in the area and the mass grave was not found.

Yes, it’s a real shame that some of these brave souls lie buried beneath areas of Brooklyn without even a marker.
