Howard,
Sorry I can't answer your question, why it took so long for the bones of
those unfortunate area residents that were killed to receive a proper burial.
But there is an interesting web page about the battle. <A HREF="http://www.albertwisnerlibrary.org/~wisner/Factsandhistory/History/Minisink.htm">Minisink</A>;

There is also the Minisink Valley Historical Society where you might be able
to find out the answer's to your question's. <A HREF="http://www.minisink.org/">Minisink Valley Historical
