I think my great great grandmother, Catharine Hebb Chapline, is buried there based on the following:<br /><br />"The Parish Records Kept by the Rev. John Alex Adams, St. Paul's Episcopal, Sharpsburg" said in a June 27, 1864 entry: "Burried (sic) at the Grave yard of the Hebb family on the Farm of Mr. Urias Knode Mrs. Catherine F. Chaplin, who departed this life on the morning of the 26 Ins. aged 68 years 3 M. 20 days."<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Michael Chapline<br />Fort Worth, TexasAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475876470425112228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-60480250385072292502008-12-04T14:44:00.000-05:002008-12-04T14:44:00.000-05:00Dave,Thanks for that fantastic tidbit.I'll see if ...Dave,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that fantastic tidbit.<BR/><BR/>I'll see if I can track it down.<BR/><BR/>MannieMannie Gentilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225923971073419275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-1853841046960106212008-12-04T14:40:00.000-05:002008-12-04T14:40:00.000-05:00Hey Mannie,Enjoy your blog!One more (small) cemete...Hey Mannie,<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your blog!<BR/><BR/>One more (small) cemetery--my wife's ancestors, the Hebbs, had a farm on the outskirts of Sharpsburg. Edward Thomas Hebb was a Revolutionary War veteran, and he and his wife are buried on the property. I think only a chimney remains of the house, but I recall reading somewhere that there are headstones on the property, and also that Stonewall Jackson had breakfast at the house on the day of the battle.<BR/><BR/>My last visit to the battlefield was before I heard about this, so I can't tell you exactly where on (or near) the battlefield you can find this location.<BR/><BR/>Dave Morehouse<BR/>Hopkins, MNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-34509061746967860912008-12-02T09:34:00.000-05:002008-12-02T09:34:00.000-05:00Six cemeteries, all but one amply marked.

The Mumma cemetery of course with NPS markers; the National Cemetery with several monuments and markers, perhaps Old Simon the best known; The Lutheran, First Methodist, and Reformed Cemetery with the "little brown ones" of the Washington County Historical Advisory Committee. Only the Mountain View Cemetery is unmarked as near as I can tell. However War Department Tablets outside the grounds explain the role that rise played in the battle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-14208295546401067262008-11-30T23:03:00.000-05:002008-11-30T23:03:00.000-05:00Thanks Mr (or Ms) Anonymous,It is everything you s...Thanks Mr (or Ms) Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>It is everything you say it is.
