• How did George Washington and his revolutionaries prevail over the mighty British Empire?
• How did England forever lose its 13 colonies and change the course of history?
Buried in Old Pine's graveyard is a small percentage… of a much larger 18th-century population that answers both questions.
• Difficult economic times …and England's subjugation of Scots-Irish caused a mass exodus of immigrants to America.
During the first decade of the 1770s and concurrent with the 8-year Rev. War …highly motivated men joined in the fight for liberty.
Erected by Friends of Old Pine.
