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

I never new...  Thank you David Janes.

     Nice to see! (And led me to read up on when the Treaty of Paris was signed/ratified - in Jan, 1784 in this country!)

Nice  O0
I have a dumb question  :D Is this place close to Janesville ? Any known connection?
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

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.
