Revolutionary War Patriot Grave Marking Program
What is the Patriot Grave Marking Program?
The objective of this SAR program is to register and mark the final resting places
of our Patriot forefathers. Also, this program periodically publishes
a list of the grave locations of our Revolutionary War Patriots. The
current edition of this list can be purchased through our Merchandise Department.
Once a Patriot grave site is located several things can happen, if no tombstone
exists it is possible to acquire a U.S. Government headstone or marker.
A local chapter of the SAR can generate some attention by placing an SAR Marker
at the location, with the appropriate ceremonies. And the location should be
reported to our Revolutionary War Graves Committee for inclusion in our Graves
Registry Program.
Grave locations are reported by local communities, individual descendants, other
historical groups and by our members. The method of reporting can be
received in many ways, we have even included a printable form on this website to
help with this reporting.
If you know the location of a Revolutionary War Patriot military or civilian and
would like to report it, feel free to submit the form with a photograph of any
headstones that may be located on the grave site.
For information on the SAR Marker or the United States Government Marker, please
