Patriots of Washington County Series- Lecture 1

Presented by Sarah Hall

Location: South Granville Congregational Church, 7179 State Route 149, Granville, NY 12832

Time: 5:30 pm

WCHS and the Washington County 250^th Committe will co-host a program about the lives of several famous patriots in Washington County.

There are many Revolutionary War Soldiers buried in our towns and this talk will include not only where they are from and their service record, but also snippets we’ve learned about their lives. Some are funny, some are strange, and you can be sure, all are interesting. A bit of the timeline of the Revolutionary War will be included, but you don’t need to be a history buff to enjoy the talk.

You will hear new stories of the 18^th century people who lived in our towns after the Revolutionary War. Some of the soldiers in the first lecture include Lemuel Haynes, Israel Harris, Joseph McCracken, and Tobias Van Veghten.
