I wonder how they’ll revise this one from upstate NY (Ellenville):
Bevier Family
Widow Elizabeth Bevier Age 62
Her Sons
Solomon Age 29 • Josiah Age 23
——————
Sax Family
Widow Johannah Sax Age 59
Her Children
Mariah Age 29, Peter Age 23, Hester Age 18,
Dorothy Age 16, Jacob Age 14.
——————
Massacred by Tories and Indians May 4, 1779
Buried at this spot.
Erected by Citizens
May 30, 1903
If they want to revise any here in NJ, they may as well change them to Spanish; in a little while there won’t be English speakers left who can read them.
Massacred by Republicans and enslaved Natives...............
Or this one:
Garard’s Fort
Site of frontier refuge in Revolutionary War. Station of a small detachment of Virginia militia in 1777, when this area was claimed as part of Monongalia County, VA. Near here, on May 12, 1782, the wife and three children of the noted Baptist minister, Rev. John Corbly, were killed while on their way to church; two of Corbly’s other children were wounded in the same Indian attack but survived.
