A Revolutionary Soldier

(Cyprian^, Dea. Cyprian*, Thomas^, Elias^, Robert^),
son of Cyprian* and Martha (Bush) Keyes,
born July 20, 1760,
married March 7, 1782,
Dolly Temple, daughter of Jonas and Dolly,
born in Boylston, March 7, 1760,
died in Princeton, Feb. 17, 1850.
He came from Gardner about 1786 and was a Revolutionary soldier. He died in Princeton, Sept. 14, 1841, age. 81. The children said to have been born in Princeton, except Dennis who was born in Gardner. Their children were:
------------------------------

Children:

(NOTE: The person who originally put the genealogy on this memorial had the 4th child of Dennis' as "Sue". However, when looking back at the genealogy Book of Robert Keyes of Watertown, Mass.", it stated that Dennis had 6 children of which 4 were living. Then it listed the living 4. The first 3 match the list above, but the fourth one was "Lydia" for which someone has found her grave. I made this note in case there is a Sue documented elsewhere.)

Note: The burial locations of his parents' graves are not known at this time.
His parents were Cyprian Keyes Jr (1735 - 1805) and Martha Bush (1737 - 1822). His dad is reported to have died in Pittsfield, Berkshire Co., Mass. and his mother in Princeton, Worcester Co., Mass. (NOTE: Since this bio was written, the grave for is father Cyprian was found, but still no info on his mother's exact grave location...)
Do note that the burial of both sets of grandparents are known, so I have added links to them below:
