    Remarks: 
    Funds for the monument were raised by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The monument was originally located on Hill Church Road in Washington, on ground donated by Mrs. Rachel Taylor Craft, a descendant of Henry Taylor. Taylor patented the land, served as a major in the Revolutionary War, and was the first presiding judge of Washington County. The monument was relocated in 1966 due to state highway construction, and was sited on ground donated by the Cemetery. IAS files contain copies of related articles from The Washington Reporter, Aug. 15, 1958 and related 1936 dedication ceremony program.
