William Brodrick in Old Friendship Cemetery was in the New Jersey Milita with ranks of Sergeant and Private. He was at Valley Forge and marched across the Delaware above Trenton, New Jersey, Battle of Monmouth.
Peter Rush in First Universal Cemetery was in the Bedford County Pennsylvania Militia with the rank of Private.
Joseph Wiley in Providence Cemetery was in the Virginia Militia with a rank of Private. He served mostly in the Carolinas.
Zachariah Hole in Black Swamp/Greenlawn Cemetery was in the Virginia Militia and served under Col. George Rogers Clark.
Also attending the dedications were descendants for Brodrick, Rush and Hole. Descendants ranged from 5th to 7th great grandchildren/uncle lineage. VFW Post 7262 representative Don Dietrich was also present due to the VFW's generous donation for purchasing markers.
Fort GreeneVille Chapter would like to thank all those who have helped in this endeavor especially the township and cemetery trustees. The project is still ongoing with several more dedications being planned.
