From Ithaca (NY).com. "Old Lodi Cemetery Gets Spruced Up" by Glynis Hart.
Most of the article is about this old cemetery, which had fallen upon hard times, being fixed up. A photo accompanies the article of the resting place of General William Himrod on the cemetery. It says he raised a local regiment to go fight the British in 1812.
The article goes on to say that his family is buried there as well and that Himrod had bought Military Lot #55, which became known as Himrod's Settlement."
But, as time passed, the fence around his plot rusted and fell apart
Looks like I'll have to do some more research on him.
