I understand what is meant by 18th century. The home was built early and the battle was fought late.
Yes. Later in the article it says “The original house was built around 1790 and was very small,” said Sharon Dunphy, president of the Ridgefield Historical Society.” So that would be late 18th century not early. But the article further states “There have been several additions made to the home over the years — and one of those construction projects built over the burial site.” “The skeletons were not in the original house,” Dunphy explained. “The additions to the home finally put a roof over them. The burials were definitely beyond the original structure.”
