REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

Movement to Have Remains of Old Soldiers Buried in Coweta County Disinterred 
and Brought to Newnan; Monument to be erected

A few months ago the Herald and Advertiser received the following 
communication from Hon. Lavender R. Ray of Atlanta:

" I note that there is a movement on foot to mark the graves of the 
Revolutionary war soldiers buried in Georgia. This purpose of the Daughters 
of the American Revolution is commendable and should have the support and 
encouragement of the people of each county. The debt of gratitude we owe our 
soldiers of this war cannot be estimated. To them this great republic owes 
its existence. Here are the names of some of the Revolutionary soldiers who 
lived in Coweta county in their old age:

[List includes:] 

William Bunster
 
The records of the Pension Office do not show that Wm. Bunster was ever on 
the pension roll or that he made application for pension. Consequently no 
record of his service as a soldier in the Revolutionary War is obtainable 
(from the Pension office). He is supposed to be buried in Campbell county 
not far from the Coweta line.
