The problem with authorization of erection of Revolutionary War Soldier Highway Markers has been resolved. We have applications in for Micajah Frasher, Hezekiah Adkins and Samuel Hatten, Sr. The Micajah Frasher sign is fully funded, and will be ordered within the next week.
We are happy to announce that the Samuel Hatten sign is now fully funded, and we will soon be preparing the paper work to have the sign ordered.
For Hezekiah Adkins we only have donations totaling $285.00, so we need an additional $465.00 in donations. Where are all of you Adkins descendants? Please make your contribution to your Revolutionary War ancestor now. Donations in any amount will be very helpful.
We are now working on documentation for Adam Crum. If you have ANY information as to the burial place of Adam, please contact us.
ALL DONATIONS FOR THESE SIGNS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
Members of the society have worked very hard over the past two years to get this problem solved. Now it is your turn to step up with the donations to get the job completed. Any amount of donation will be gladly accepted, but lets get together and finish this job. We may never have another opportunity to get these signs erected, as there is some opposition at the state level.
If you have any additional information or questions concerning your Revolutionary War soldier, please contact this Society. Place of burial of some of these soldiers is in question or has conflicting information. If you have any family history of burials, please let us hear from you.
Make your checks payable to WCGHS and mail to WCGHS, P.O. Box 787, Wayne, WV 25570. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to honor your Revolutionary War Soldiers. Let's not disappoint them !!
