    Mr. Greenwalt,

    Thought I’d let you know of another Revolutionary War Morris Co. tidbit- U.S. Army, Picatinny Arsenal has a circa 1780 community burial ground onsite known as the Walton Burial Ground with other historical references as the Righter Burial Ground and the Hessian Burial Ground. The latter reference has been mostly proven to be part of the local rumor mill, but there is a possibility of one or two Hessians to be potentially buried at the cemetery. The historic marker placed onsite during the BiCentennial stated ‘a handful of Hessian soldiers’ has been proven to be not true. If you would like a tour sometime, let me know, Jason Huggan, Cultural Resource Manager, Picatinny Arsenal, 973-724-3664, jason.j.huggan.civ@mail.mil.
