We are excited to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution, which was not merely a day, July 4, 1776, but a decade-long struggle for our independence and freedom. There is a committee formed with plans to honor all Patriot Soldiers who relocated to Jefferson County, New York, after the American Revolutionary War. Specifically, those known to have passed away and were buried in Jefferson County. The monument will stand in Watertown.
Keep in mind that Jefferson County, New York, was not established until 1805, years after the Revolutionary War. Therefore, no Patriot Soldier originated from Jefferson County. A list of all known Patriot Soldiers that died and/or were buried in Jefferson County can be found at Joint Patriot Project https://jefferson.nygenweb.net/jeffrevvets.htm. This comprehensive list is the collective efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), Historical Societies, Genealogy Societies, and the work of many family genealogists. SAR member Bruce Coyne composed this Patriot Soldier list as shown
We invite all of those who are known to have Patriot Soldiers in their family ancestry to view the Joint Patriot Project list of over 350 names. If your ancestor is not listed, and you feel strongly they should be, please contact the Patriot Soldier's Committee at revwarsoldier@yahoo.com. To have names added, compelling support is required. To begin the review process, provide as much of the following as possible.
1. Patriot Soldier's name:
2. Patriot Soldier's birthdate:
3. Patriot Soldier's birth location:
4. Patriot Soldier joined:
5. Patriot Soldier released location and rank
6. Patriot Soldier's military service date
7. Patriot Soldier's death date and age:
8. Patriot Soldier's death location:
9. Patriot Soldier is buried: name and location of cemetery.
10. Patriot Soldier's pension file number:
11. If one, Patriot Soldier's DAR or SAR file number:
12. Patriot Soldier's wife's (wives) name:
13. Source of information:
If you have an ancestor who was a Patriot, but not a soldier, feel free to contact us at revwarsoldier@yahoo.com. For example, Benjamin Franklin was a Patriot who advocated for our nation’s freedom and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, but was not a fighting soldier. We can discuss this person's contributions to our nation's independence.
With your help, we will honor all of our Jefferson County Patriots. Thank you!

This county site is part of the USGenWeb Project. Modeled after the Kentucky GenWeb Project which was organized by a group of genealogists in March and April 1996, the idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In June 1996, it was decided to expand the project to include all states. The USGenWeb National Coordinator is Linda K. Lewis.
If a New York State county in which you are interested is marked as Adoptable on the NYGenWeb County Selection Page and you wish to participate, please contact NYGenWeb Coordinator Robert Sullivan. If there is a New York State county that you would like to volunteer to help with - transcribing data, typing contributions of data into a text file, HTML coding, etc. - please contact that county's coordinator directly.
