Tombstone Tuesday-Two Local War of 1812 Grave Markers

There are a few War of 1812 cemetery markers in this area and below are two that I know of.

The War of 1812 marker below marks the grave of my 5th great-grandfather Nicholas Headington (1790-1856). It is located in Liber Cemetery, Jay County, Indiana.

Nicholas Headington served in Gorsuch’s Co. 2 Maryland Militia during the War of 1812. Nicholas was married to Ruth Phillips (1794-1865).

Another War of 1812 marker is that of John D Heath (1778-1868), located in Tomlinson Cemetery, Mercer County, Ohio. John was married to Nancy Tomlinson (1788-1861).
