Please stop and say thank you. We cleaned off the plaque and did
some cito while we were there. Please do the same while you think
about where we might be if it were not for men like
David.
David Janes (1762-1848) was born in 1762, a descendant of
William Bradford III, the first Governor of the Plymouth Colony. He
served for a year in Captain Killom's Company of Colonel Rufus
Putnam's Fifth Massachusetts of the Continental Line. Jane's
service was in time for him to guard the 7,247 soldiers and 840
sailors taken prisoner at the British surrender at Yorktown. He
then transferred to Colonel Joseph Vorst's Regiment, also of the
Continental Line. He was discharged at Philadelphia in October or
November 1783, after the signing of the September 3, 1783 peace
treaty.
