War of 1812 Veterans Buried in Hebron Cemetery, Camp Point, Illinois

This took me awhile before I figured out that this Hebron Cemetery was not in Hebron, Illinois, but near Camp Point, Illinois, which is in the far western part of the state near the Mississippi River and it is in Adams County.

But, they have five War of 1812 veterans buried there.  Since I am doing War of 1812 veteran burials, I am going to list their names:

William A. Beckett

William Garner, Sr.

Andrew Hughes,  Indiana Militia

John Arthur McFarland

John W. McFarland

There are also one Mexican War veteran and twenty Civil War veterans buried there, many from the 78th Illinois Infantry.
