George Alford, Minuteman and Served Under Washington

From Wikipedia.

Woodland Cemetery, Monroe, Michigan.

I have been doing a lot of research on George A. Custer, his family and the War of 1812 in my Not So Forgotten War of 1812 blog.

I came across this man who is buried in Woodland Cemetery in Monroe, Michigan and he sounds like an interesting story.

George Alford (died 1836)  A Minuteman in the American Revolution and the only known Monroe soldier to have served directly under the command of General George Washington.
