One of GenealogyBank\u2019s best resources is the collection of Revolutionary War Burial Records. They are found in the Historical Documents & Records<\/a> section, which has extensive military historical material and records.<\/p>\n

For example, here is a report giving details of Revolutionary War soldiers buried in the Village Cemetery in Orwell, Addison County, Vermont.<\/p>\n

Included in this report is an image of Ebenezer Hulburd\u2019s (1747-1819)<\/a> tombstone, along with a transcription of the epitaph on the stone.<\/p>\n

We are fortunate to have this tombstone image. In searching other genealogical sites online, I did find a gravestone for Ebenezer Hulburd on Find-a-Grave<\/a> \u2013 but the image was of a more modern gravestone.<\/p>\n

It might be that the earlier tombstone has not survived and was replaced by the more modern headstone.<\/p>\n

Gratefully, this photograph of Ebenezer Hulburd\u2019s likely original tombstone, along with a full transcription of his epitaph, has survived in the Daughters of the American Revolution\u2019s annual report, and is preserved digitally in GenealogyBank.<\/p>\n
