Dedication of Revolutionary War Patriot Monuments

Dedication of Revolutionary War Patriot Monuments

The Twickenham Town Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) will dedicate two four-foot granite monuments in Huntsville-Madison County Veterans Memorial at 200 Monroe Street NW in downtown Huntsville on August 12, 2023, at 10:00 am. The Chapter encourages the public to attend the free dedication ceremony and on-site reception.

The names of 22 Revolutionary War Patriots who died in Madison County, Alabama are etched into the new monuments. The monuments flank an 8-foot, 3-ton granite monument originally erected by the Chapter in 1939 with an attached bronze marker containing the names of 84 Patriots who also died in Madison County. Leaders in the community will attend and address the crowd before the unveiling.

The verified patriots etched into the new monuments are John Mosby Binford, Charles Dement, George Dickey, Owen Evans, Zachariah Greenhill Leigh, George Hallmark, Henry Harless, William Hogan, Richard Holmes, Colby Jackson, Fleming Jordan, Charles King, Benjamin Lynn, Michael Mason, James McCracken, Daniel McDuff, Andrew McElroy, Andrew Neely, Moses Poor, Daniel Rather, John Slaughter, and John Whitaker.
