Just a small correction John "Lightfoot" Durst died in 1840 ( the
previous message had 1812) he served in the War Of 1812. He is buried ( not a
private cemetery) in the Old Hill Cemetery in Salisbury, Somerset Co., Pa. His
father, Casper Durst, Rev.War Soldier , is also buried there with a field stone
marking his grave site as C X D, 1839. If anyone is interested I am
attempting to verify his Rev.War service to have a marker placed on his grave. I need
any Rev.War documentation that the D.A.R. may have accepted. There is a
marker on the grave site of John Lightfoot Durst that was erected in the
1960's honoring his military service.
