Major Jonathan Cass-- Part 2

From Find-A-Grave

BIRTH:     Born 29 October 1753 in  Exeter, New Hampshire

DEATH:  9 August 1830 (aged 76) Dresden, Ohio

BURIAL:   Dresden Cemetery  Dresden, Ohio

He was a soldier at Bunker Hill, and officer in the Revolution and, under General Wayne, brought peace to the Northwest Frontier after the war.

From New England, he migrated to the wilds of the Northwest Territory and on the 4,000 acres of Military Lands he purchased, he led a peaceful life until death claimed him.

He was one of the founders of Dresden, Ohio.

There are a lot of Cass's buried at this cemetery.
