It is located in Beaver County, near Baden Pennsylvania. It is where General Wayne trained his new Legion of the United States prior to the Battle of Fallen Timbers on August 20, 1794. We found a map (All this is on website for verification) drawn by Surgeon's Mate Joseph Strong February 26, 1793 that labels all buildings and marks a graveyard. We knew the name of one individual, Ensign William Pitt Gassaway killed in a duel 23 March, 1793. Dr. Strong took great care drawing the map and marked 17 hatch marks representing graves on the drawing, so we knew there were multiple graves. I just returned from the National Archives where I scanned Muster Rolls looking for remarks that individuals were sick, etc. We found eight names that showed deceased and fit the Legion Ville time frame (Henry Dundalo/Dundelo, William Perry, James White, Randolph Hutchins, William Williamson, John Patterson, John Fry and Jarrett Rogers). Henry Dundelo Enlisted 18 September, 1793. Roll shows him sick in hospital at Legion Ville 1 January 1793 (Roll August 31, 1792- 1 January 1793). Next Muster Roll notates Dead on 8 January 1793. I did a search and found the name. We are trying to save this site, so the more we know about these individuals the better before these graves are under a parking lot at a strip mall. I will do whatever it takes to see this prevented. The Legion was recruited heavily in all 13 states. He was in Captain Thomas Pasteur's Company. Pasteur was from North Carolina and served in the Revolution. Any light whatsoever you can shedd on this man would be greatly appreciated. Average age of the Legion was 25, so he would have been born @1767. Sincerely, Patrick Riley M.A. Archaeologist Patrick Riley http://tristate.pgh.net/~bsilver/legion.htm
