Revolutionary War Graves Johnson County, Indiana

The following Patriot's are in various sources as being buried in Johnson Co., IN.
There is no listing of them in the 2000  Johnson County Cemetery Listing published by the County
Historical Society and I have not found graves for any of these people.

Benjamin Bell: There are no Benjamin Bell's listed in Johnson Co. His name was mentioned in an
Indianapolis Star 'Did You Know?' piece on Oct. 8, 2003. Benjamin is said to be the brother of
Nathaniel Bell listed above. The Indiana Society, Son's of the American Revolution site says he was
buried in Clay Co., IN and a relative says he may have been buried in Iowa. [More...]

Listing of 2000 anywhere in the county. (Listed on Patriot Rock at Greenlawn Cemetery and the

This monument, I call it Patriot Rock, was installed by the Alexander Hamilton Chapter Daughter's of the American
Revolution at Greenlawn Cemetery in 1917. It honors all Patriot's buried in Johnson County
although there are no known Patriot burials at Greenlawn. There are many errors on the list.
