Geocache Description:

Welcome to Somerset County's Revolutionary War Cemetery. The terrain is relatively flat, but I rate it 1.5 stars since I don't believe it to be a wheelchair accessible cache.

This field puzzle begins at the posted coordinates where five plaques are erected. The first plaque (shown below) describes a bit of the cemetery's history.



The remaining four plaques list the names of the people who are believed to be interned within the cemetery.. however the list is thought to be incomplete. Each of the four plaques has two columns of names listed. Use the table below to locate the names of the people who's gravesites you must visit to gather the needed information to solve this puzzle.
