Revolutionary War Veterans buried in Bayside

     I thought with the 4th of July coming up, I would do a post on Revolutionary War Veterans buried in Bayside. Because all of them died before 1867 when interments began at Bayside, it means they were moved from other cemeteries. According to an article in the May 27, 1889 issue of the St. Lawrence Herald there are four Revolutionary War Vets buried in Bayside. They are as follows:

William Davis 1762-May 25, 1833. He was also in the War of 1812.

Lieut. Lemuel Fling 1757-Oct 22, 1824

Col. Alexander Brush died Jul 16, 1814.

     Sylvanus or Silvanus Willis or Willes born Mar 26, 1756 and died Aug 18, 1871. There is at least four generations of his family buried in Bayside which I will write about another time.
