Honor Roll: Wayne County (West Virginia) Revolutionary War Plaque

Thanks to Brandi Proffitt, who I met virtually in the Sevier County Tennessee Genealogy Active Sharing Facebook group, I am able to share her photograph of a Revolutionary War plaque presented by the Westmoreland Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and transcribe their names for the Honor Roll project.

    1. I did not take this photo personally; it was sent to me. If you contacted someone in Wayne County government, I'm sure they could tell you. Or look up the local DAR chapter on dar.org and they would know.

  3. FYI - Bennett Wellman is not buried in Wayne county. he is buried in nearby Louisa, Kentucky along with his wife and other family members.
