The family and I went on a little drive after Mass yesterday. About 3 miles NW of La Grange WI we came across the Little Prarie Cemetary. Here is what caught our attention http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=46669 (http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=46669)

Nice to see! (And led me to read up on when the Treaty of Paris was signed/ratified - in Jan, 1784 in this country!)
Thanks for sharing!
Nice O0
I have a dumb question :D Is this place close to Janesville ? Any known connection?
Thanks for sharing Chris!
David Janes born1762-died Sept.29 1848. Really cool he actually lived long enough for Wisconsin to become the 30th state May 29 1848.
Thanks for the thread Chris O0 .

Yes it's fairly close to Janesville, about 30 miles. No relation just a curious find for me just out on a drive. As a result of this, I've contacted the organisation responsible for putting up the sign that caught my attention. . . the Wisconsin Society Sons of the American Revolution and gave them a primer on RWVA and invited them to come out and shoot with us. I'll let you know if and what I hear back.
