Graves Chair Daryl Verstreate, Jr..
In the summer of 2005, the Rochester Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution began working toward the ultimate goal of sourcing and photographing all of the Soldiers and Patriots Gravesites, Burial Spots and Tombstones from the Revolutionary War in our coverage area and to fix and replace them as necessary.
While working toward this goal, many people contributed photographs and source data.
All of the six counties of the Rochester Chapter Service area are nearly complete with some work remaining to be done in Livingston and Genesee Counties. In addition, the Empire State Society, SAR has so far indexed over 8,535 Soldiers and Patriots throughout New York State and provided photographs for several of them. The information included on this website will continue to grow and be refined as more data are gathered. The SAR is grateful for all of the assistance provided by individuals and organizations from New York State and across the nation.
If any corrections or additions need to be made, please contact the Graves Chair, Daryl VerStreate, Jr.
