Ann Brodhead Its always awesome
to find a stone that has or is still standing and readable after 158 years. A
single women who lived to be 82. I have no doubt that Ann was a fascinating women. Her middle
name was probably Garten. She was the daughter of Capt. Luke & Elizabeth
Harrison Brodhead. The granddaughter of the founding family of Dansbury (East
Stroudsburg). Buried Shawnee Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Her father was not
only in the American Revolution he was wounded at Brandywine, Pa. Just a side
note; I randomly took photos of stones I knew nothing about Ann, was extremely
surprised her mother and my surname were the same. Sorry, Harrison family we
are not related, but it was a “how cool” is that moment. (photo of stone) (facebook
