The Battle of Sodus Point, Asher Warner's Grave

Asher Warner is buried in the  Brick Church Cemetery, his grave marked by a  monument erected years later  by the younger son, Jonathan.  While the date of death on the tombstone is given as  June 12, 1813, and this date is sometimes given in newspaper accounts of the period, affidavits filed in attempts to get compensation, and other credible evidence, establish the 19th as the correct date.

************************

The marker reads:

In memory of  ASHER WARNER who fell in the Battle of Sodus  June 12, 1813 while fighting in the defence of his country.

In 1927, the General Swift Chapter, Daughters of 1812, placed two boulders with bronze plaques at Sodus Point, one at the site of the engagement, and the other at the site of the Mansion House where Mr. Warner died.
