Daniel Morgan was a hero of the American Revolution. His grave in Winchester's Mt. Hebron Cemetery is marked with an engraved slab and next to it is a newer memorial with a bas-relief portrait.
Originally he was buried near the Old Stone Presbyterian Church and there is a statue of him at that site.

ReplyDeleteWow here I am again as the Mt Hebron Cemetery showed up in your daily photos this morning.. My father, Charles Aulick Gibbens grew up in the family home at 447 N. Loudon. While he is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, all his family back to the 1850s have a family plot in Mt Hebron. Carl(Charles) Christopher Aulick a Hessian solider who remained in American following Yorktown. His family's home was the Aulick house at the front entrance of the cemetery. Other family members are also interred in Mt Hebron.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful cemetery. Thank you for commenting.
DeleteWhat is that shape that the words are written on? I'm trying to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteThere is actually a crack or seam there. I don’t know whether the stone was piece together or whether it cracked at some point.
