INDIANA SPIRIT
QUEST #186
”Revolutionary Trifecta"
The weather today has been particularly cold
and rainy, although we (my daughter Hit&Run and puppy Lucy)did
not let that top us from hiding this very special cache. Welcome to
the Danville East Cemetery, Center Township, Hendricks Co, Indiana.
This is site, located in downtown Danville is rather large for
being a predominately pioneer cemetery. What also makes this
cemetery so great is the fact that thre are THREE Revolutionary War
Veterans buried here. There are also too many Civil War Veterans
here to mention. Parking is across the street in a large parking
lot.
Richard Barnes was born in 1763 in Baltimore,
Maryland. He served in the Virginia Contiental Line: By 1777
Virginia had raised 15 regiments of infantry and several of cavalry
and artillery for service under Continental Congress authority,
commonly known as the Virginia Continental Line. These regiments
were rearranged several times during the war and many soldiers
served in more than one unit.
Obedieth (Obediah) Turpin was born in 1761 in in
Prince Edward County, Virginia. He also served in the Virginia
Contiental Line.
Although there is no legible marker to be
identified, Israel Hunt (born 1762 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey)
is reported as being buried in this cemetery. We were able to find
a large concentration of Hunt family markers at the back center of
the cemetery, but nothing legible enough to identify his marker
from.
The cache
container is is a micro white bottle. Please leave it at
least as well concealed, if not better, than you found it. If
you find fallen or worn US flags at the graves of veterans,
please take a moment to upright or replace them. Dispose of
worn US flags in a respectable manner. If you
find the coordinates to be a little off, do not hesitate to
post a waypoint with your log. As always, be
respectful, and cache in, trash out. God Bless our troops in
harm's way.
WARNING: FIND LOGS ON THIS CACHE THAT INDICATE
NIGHT CACHING WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT
NOTICE!
