ORIGINAL BURIAL SITE.
Revolutionary War veteran Samuel Condit died in his "61st year" in 1822. The son of Daniel and Ruth (nee Harrison) Condit, he fought for American independence as a youth in his teens and early twenties. His older brother Joel also served, and both lived to see the young United States emerge triumphant from the War of 1812.
Samuel's original and now eroded gravestone, made of locally quarried brown sandstone, is located on the western side of the churchyard, and his name also appears on the Condit Memorial honoring members of the family who fought in the Revolutionary War. In 1857, however, his remains were transferred to nearby Rosedale Cemetery, where a new headstone in the Victorian style was erected on his final resting place.
