Born in June 1, 1762, Granville, Mass. He Enlisted on July 27, 1779, at Granville, Mass, in Col Timothy Bigelow's 15th Mass. Regiment. Was Sgt at siege of Yorktown, captured a British officer, took his sword. He Married Lydia Munson (br 1768, d 1855). He Died on Nov 27, 1813, Granville, OH. Buried at Old Colony Cemetery, South Main St.& West Maple, Granville, OH 43023, plot #840. Cemetery Notes: Established in 1805, the Old Colony Burying Ground on South Main Street in Granville contains over one thousand burials. Most of the tombstones were in decent shape when we visited, but some were weathered or broken. A sign in the cemetery stated that the cemetery was being restored. There are veterans from the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War buried in the cemetery. Although the first recorded burials occurred in 1806, the oldest tombstone we could find dated to 1813. We came across a couple of recognizable names in the cemetery. Timothy Rose was the first Deacon in the church and a main player in establishing Granville. There was a flag on his grave indicating he was a veteran, but we are unsure in which war he served. Rose died on November 27, 1813, at 51 years of age. GM by Granville Chap in 1901. Was agent to this Co for the Licking Land Company ; was an influential citizen. Pens allowed.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
