Honoring Forgotten Revolutionary War Graves

A solemn ceremony at McKee Big Spring Cemetery honored Revolutionary War soldier James Logan McKee, drawing families from eight states for bagpipes, musket fire, and deep historical reflection. Buried here since before the American Revolution, over 100 graves—some victims of 1759 and 1763 raids—reveal layers of forgotten history. Descendants like Pauline McKee and William McKee Trevey, who traveled from Wisconsin with 11 relatives, are preserving these stories, proving each grave holds a unique chapter in the nation’s founding. Their efforts ensure this sacred ground—and its unsung heroes—will never be forgotten. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
