I JUST discovered the the "Find A Grave" website (http://www.findagrave.com/), and GUESS who's listed??? > * Ludington, Sybil. > US Civil War Hero. > buried at: Patterson Baptist Church, Patterson, New York. According to my trusty Delorme Guide, Carmel NY (statue site) and Patterson NY (burial site) are only about 5 miles apart... HOWEVER, note that "Find A Grave" lists her as a Civil War hero and the original request from Mr. Lord said she was in the Revolution...
