ADRIAN — The Lenawee County Family Researchers, in collaboration with the Lucy Wolcott Barnum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, are formulating plans to honor all Revolutionary War heroes buried in Lenawee County cemeteries for the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026.

While the war was fought mainly along the Eastern Seaboard, several veterans of the conflict are buried in Lenawee County. A listing of Revolutionary War veterans who are known to be buried locally can be found at www.migenweb.org/lenawee/revwar.html. 

The groups are seeking to identify any Revolutionary War patriots buried in Lenawee County who may not currently be known. Patriots may include not only military veterans but also non-military individuals who played a role on the side of American colonists during the war, such as wives of veterans, pro-independence clergymen, colonial politicians, or people who supplied provisions for the war effort.

Anyone with information can contact Julia Klink of the Lenawee County Family Researchers at 517-436-3435 or [email protected].

The Family Researchers are hoping to finish gathering the information by February 2026.
