Jacob Highsmith Ceremony

Jacob Highsmith R.S.

Jacob Highsmith is not one of my kin. However, some of my kin did have this ceremony done when their grave was marked for their service in the Revolutionary War. I wanted to see the ceremony in honor of Jacob Highsmith and because of my ancestors.

Names of Belinda's grandfathers who fought in the Revolutionary War: Robert Dowling 5th great grandfather on Harris side --- and his son, William Dowling (fought with Fancis Marion - The Swamp Fox) 5th great grandfather on Harris side --- James Thomas - 4th great grandfather on Gill side. Reuben Hickox from Connecticut 4th great grandfather (Harris-Dowling side) --- Stephen Crummey - 5th great grandfather on Gill-Crosby side. Jessee Mixon, b. 1744, d. 1831, buried Tilton Cemetery, Jayess, Lawrence County MS. --- Samuel Williams --- John Nevill ----- I will verify these and maybe add more as I review our family tree.

Names of Steve's grandfathers who did fight in the Revolutionary War: Amos Adams (fought at Fort Ticonderoga - 5th great grandfather --- Dominicus Jordan - 6th great grandfather --- I will verify these and maybe add more as I review our family tree.
