Ann Brodhead

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.
