Two War of 1812 Veterans Buried at Aumack Cemetery in New Jersey-- Part 2

In 1811, William Henry Aumack, who served as a private in the Monmouth County Militia during the American Revolution, purchased 42 acres of farmland for $100 (good deal) in present day Hazlet (Middleton back then)  He picked a hillock on the farm for a family cemetery after the death of his wife, Christiana in 1841.  Thus began the Aumack Family Cemetery.

In 1991, it was concluded that  20 people had been interred at the site, including two from the War of 1812: Private Garret Aumack and Corporal  Leonard Aumack.  Leonard's grave is the only one still visible in the cemetery.

It is great that the cemetery will be cleaned up and preserved better than in the past.

Thanks to the Boy Scouts and James Borg, Eagle Scout candidate.
