Two months from now, on May 4, 2026, the opportunity to add information documenting the burials of American Revolutionary War veterans in Ohio will close. We can only hope that all those that can be found will be through the efforts of dedicated volunteers.
Keeping this thought in mind, I would like to suggest that even if you can't do an in person visit to the gravesite of a veteran of the American Revolutionary War buried in Ohio that you know about, please attempt to contact someone who can do that with the information you provide to them. I did this myself recently. You can reference also websites like "Find a Grave" that might help. Contact someone who belongs to the local chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society who might be willing to visit the gravesite in your place and use their cellphone to document the burial location at the cemetery.
Also, if there is a nearby Chapter of the D.A.R. they may know of someone who could be of help.
You can be creative and consider contacting a local Boy Scout or Girl Scout group who could visit the cemetery in person with an adult, armed with your information to locate the gravesite, and access the Ohio History Connection's website for all of the details pertaining to this worthwhile program and how to contribute to it.
