Beverly, Massachusetts ~ Revolutionary War Honor Roll

These three plaques with the names of Revolutionary War Soldiers is located on the second floor of the Beverly Historical Society.   There is another plaque with the names of soldiers who answered the Lexington Alarm on 19 April 1775 (the “Minute Men” – I’ll post that plaque next week).  These names cover the rest of the war.

If you have colonial Beverly ancestry, you might find a few ancestors here.  Or at least a few cousins, because you will notice that the same surnames are repeated over and over.  For example, there are eight DODGEs and eight LOVETTs listed here, as well as nine TRASKs and twelve WOODBERRY/WOODBURYs!

[Note:  the fifers and drummers are listed with the officers]

These photos and transcriptions are for The Honor Roll Project website:

  1. I wonder what resources were used back in 1930 to confirm service and that a name belonged on the plaque.

    1. I was wondering the same thing. Often there are more names that surface after these honor rolls are produced. I sometimes see names added on the back or sides of memorials.
