Revolutionary War Soldiers Buried in Arkansas Chart



 
 
Below is a letter written by
Ann Allison Pounds,
Arkansas State DAR Historian
announcing this endeavor:



            “Honoring Revolutionary War Soldiers Buried in Arkansas” is a primary focus of State Regent Marylee Schultz for 2008-2010. Many of these Revolutionary War Soldier’s graves were located years ago, and Mrs. Schultz challenges Arkansas DAR chapters to revisit these graves, see that they are tended, and place a wreath on every grave that can be located in Arkansas.
 
The discovery and marking of the graves of Revolutionary War Soldiers has been an ongoing project of Arkansas DAR. Gratitude is expressed to Clara Eno who was diligent in her search for these graves in the early 1900’s.   Miss Eno wrote letters, newspaper articles, and books that are housed in the Arkansas History Commission for reference.

The attached chart combines data listing soldiers who have been reported as buried in Arkansas with nearby chapters noted.  There may be some soldiers listed that have not been located and/or proven.  Chapters may not be able to locate all of those listed, but try, try, try again.  Please check with the local historical society, courthouses for depositions for pensions, local libraries, or Arkansas State Archives.  Old minutes and scrapbooks of DAR chapters could give details of early marking of soldier’s graves.  Let’s make finding and honoring a top priority for Regent Schultz’s time in office.

DAR is only as visible in your area as you and your chapters make it.  Invite local county officials, local historical society members, and other hereditary and patriotic groups to attend these special wreath laying ceremonies.  Please use this as an opportunity to both announce and celebrate the event.  Use your imagination!  Make a picture, write an article, publish BEFORE and AFTER the event in your local newspaper.  Finally, report your successes and celebrations with me.  The search is on!
