Today, while researching Springfield's Oak Ridge Cemetery, I came across a site listing Revolutionary War veterans buried in Illinois by county. I looked those of Lake County, where I live, and found the name of Major Watson who was captured by Indians, made to run the gauntlet, at the Battle of Monmouth, captured in the War of 1812 and lived to be a hundred.
I had four entries on him this date on my http://roaddogsroadlog.blogspot.com blog.
Interesting Story. --Cooter
