"From the Sullivan County Democrat DOWN THE DECADES in an issue printed Tuesday, July 23 2013 page 8A - 1923 - The Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated a war memorial monument in the old Westfield Flats Cemetery at Roscoe. The Beaverkill Chapter of the DAR erected the memorial to commemorate Rachel Williams, a great
granddaughter of Roger Williams, who with her husband, Jehiel Stewart in 1789, were the first settlers in that area following the Revolutionary War period. Jehiel Stewart was a Minute Man throughout the Revolutionary War. Following the Revolution, they removed with several small children from their home at Blandford, Mass., and striking westward through the wilderness, they settled down at what is now Roscoe."
