My 8th great grandfather’s grave. Served under Col. Parker in the Lexington COncord Battle ~ “Shot heard ’round the world.”

A gravestone with a U.S. flag and a medal in front. The inscription is dedicated to Jonathan Barney (1736-1838). The epitaph praises his steadfastness and associations with the Suf Tyde 23r Lodge of Freemasons.
