I took the newly refurbished 1985 Firebird out for a cruise today out to Hebron, Illinois, where I went by the Linn-Hebron Cemetery where I knew a War of 1812 veteran named Major Watson was buried. Major was not his rank, but his first name.
Not only was he a veteran of the War of 1812, but also the American Revolution. As such, he is believed to be the only American Revolution soldier buried in McHenry County, Illinois.
There is a historical marker at the cemetery entrance about him.
You can find out more about him by clicking on the Major Watson label below.
