The war for American Independence was between 1775 -1783, and the wave of pioneer settlers began in 1831, some 48 years later. However, despite the many decades between, several former soldiers of the American Revolution settled in Michigan in their final years with their families. In this episode, I explore the lives of two that were buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Battle Creek, one that is buried in St. Joseph County in Leonidas Cemetery and one that rests in Kalamazoo at Mountain Home Cemetery. Their stories are quite interesting.
