- Here in the Old Level Cemetery, we have a couple of Revolutionary War soldiers buried here, one of which is Captain Isaac Perry.

Now, he was among some of the first settlers here in Lowville, though he mainly actually resided in the community of Stowe Square, which is where Stowe Square Cemetery is now.

He is most well known for having named the Tug Hill Plateau as he was one of the first to pioneer a trip up onto that part of the land and thus had the pleasure of naming it.

This is the second Revolutionary War soldier here in the Old Lauville Cemetery.

This is Captain Jonathan Rogers.

He was part of the original survey team that came up here and chose the site of Lauville for settlement, and he was part of the team in charge of building and navigating the flat bottom boat that came up the Black River and Mill Creek to bring the first families to actually settle here.

He ended up settling on a farm which encompassed land that housed the majority of what is now Lowville.

He also was Lowville's representative for the Freedom Right meeting in Freedom Rights Tavern that caused a petition for the creation of Lewis and Jefferson County from Oneida County in 1804.

Here in East State Street, we have another couple of Revolutionary War soldiers buried, including Levi Adams.

Now, Levi Adams served in the New York State militia during the Revolutionary War, and afterwards, he came to live here in Lowville.

He served as a New York State Senator from 1818 to 1822.

The second soldier buried in East State Street Cemetery is Isaac Clinton.

Now, he was a student of Yale when he volunteered for service in the Revolutionary War.

He's known to have been involved in several battles across the war, and afterwards he came to settle here in Lowville.

When he lived in Lowville, he was ordained as a pastor at the Presbyterian Church, and he was the first principal of Lowville Academy.

Here, we have a pair of Revolutionary War soldiers in the Lowville Rural Cemetery, one of which being Charles Davenport.

He served as the captain of the 17th regiment of the Albany County Militia under the command of Colonel William Bradford Whiting.

After the war, he ended up settling in Harrisburg.

Another Revolutionary War soldier buried in the rural cemetery is John Shull, who emigrated here from Germany in order to fight in the Revolutionary War.

After the war, he settled here in Lowville.

While we're not entirely sure, it's possible that John Shull was actually a Hessian mercenary who fought for the British and settled here after the war instead of going home.

Here in the Denmark Hillside Cemetery, we have Jacob Nash, who served as a private in Martha's Vineyard.

He is most well known for being one of the original minutemen.

- We're here at the Brick Chapel Cemetery in Canton, New York, where there are five Revolutionary War patriots buried.

We're at the grave of Eber Goodnew, and Eber is interesting because he was sent on April 19th, 1775 by his father to fill in for his older brother, Abner, and he was only 13 years old.

Because of his age of 13, he was assigned as a drummer boy.

He saw action at the Battles of Lexington and Concord and marched back to Boston, where he stayed through March of 1776 as part of the siege of Boston.

And some of his duties would have been digging trenches, guarding the supply depot, and even standing sentinel so that none of the British could break out.

In March of 1776, he went home and he stayed there working on his farm until the summer of 1777 when he was again called as a substitute for his father.

And this time he was enlisted into the Continental Army and he was at the Battle of Bemus Heights where a few days later, 10 days later, Bregoin surrendered and he was honorably discharged and went home.

At that point, he was only 15 years old.

We're here at the grave of Tubel Nash.

Tubel Nash answered the call to arms on April 19th, 1775 and joined Samuel Williams' Regiment of Minutemen.

He saw action at the Battle of Lexington in Concord and participated in the siege of Boston.

Later, he was at Fort Ticonderoga and was part of the Northern campaign, and he saw action at White Plains, New York.

We're at the grave of Samuel Leonard.

He was in the Massachusetts militia, and they were called to serve at the Siege of Boston in 1775.

Samuel was also part of Sullivan's expedition, which was to fight against the Iroquois who had aligned themselves with the British.

Samuel is interesting in that Samuel was a quartermaster, and Quartermaster Corps was the oldest of the logistical branch of the Continental Army.

General George Washington formed the Quartermaster Corps in 1775.

Samuel remained a quartermaster until he was honorably discharged in 1782.

We're here at the Old Brookside Cemetery in Waddington, New York at the grave of Edward Lawrence.

Edward Lawrence joined the Continental Army two weeks after the Battle of Lexington and Concord.

He was sent to Boston to help defend Boston against the British.

Later, he signed up, he volunteered to join Benedict Arnold in his 350-mile trek that took two months to walk through the wilderness of Maine into Quebec, where on December 31st, 1775, they attacked Quebec City.

This is the battle where Benedict Arnold was wounded, severely wounded, but unfortunately for Edward, he was taken as a prisoner of war.

He was captured and held until 1776 when he was paroled by then Governor Guy Carlton.

Part of his parole was that he would never take up the arms against British again.

However, seven months later, he reenlisted.

After he re-enlisted, he was sent to Saratoga where he witnessed the surrender of General Burgoin.

From there, he endured the hardships with George Washington at Valley Forge and later fought in the Battle of Monmouth.

Edward was honorably discharged in 1780 where he had risen to the rank of sergeant.

We're here at the Union Cemetery in Waddington, New York at the grave of Isaac Bartholomew.

At the age of 19, Isaac enlisted in Colonel Sheldon's Regiment of Dragoons and served with and under Benjamin Talmage.

Major Benjamin Talmage was a spy master and ran one of the most successful spy rings of the entire Revolutionary War.

He worked directly with George Washington.

The name of the spy ring was the Culper Spy Ring.

Isaac and several of the other regiments, Isaac's regiment in particular, would often patrol, do scouting, and many times were called upon to guard General Washington as he moved between battles and amongst his troops.

Isaac's regiment under Major Talmage was so good at scouting, patrolling, and gathering intelligence that George Washington himself called them the eyes and ears of the Continental Army.

When the United States entered the War of 1812, Isaac became the first commissioned officer in St.

Lawrence County.

He served in Benedict's regiment in the New York militia.

After the war, Benjamin returned to farming and became St.

Lawrence County's first highway superintendent.

We're here at the East Road Cemetery in Depoister, New York.

This is the grave of Zachariah Barber.

In 1781, when Zachariah was 16, he joined forces to defend Rhode Island during the Rhode Island alarm.

For the spring and summer of 1781, he would be called on short 10, 15 day tours of duty when the British were causing raids or he was called up to defend.

In August of 1781, he enlisted in the Continental Army and marched to West Point, where he remained until the end of the war under General Washington and was discharged in 1783.

After the war, he married Mary, and he and Mary had eight children.

They would move to Vermont and eventually here to St.

Lawrence County, following their oldest son, John, who was already here.

In 1859, on July 4th, Zachariah was honored as the last living Revolutionary War soldier in St.

Lawrence County.

The following spring, at the age of 95, Zachariah passed away and all the flags in St.

Lawrence County were flown at half staff to honor his service and his memory.
