Ichabod Burnet was a New Jersey native who served as an aide de camp to Major General Nathanael Greene during the Revolutionary War.

Ichabod is the son of Dr. William Burnet and Mary Camp, he is buried with his grandmother Hannah and his uncle Ichabod Burnet Jr.

As you may notice the last name is spelled wrong. The names were sometime spelled differently, this was very common at the time. The church sexton who were in charge of burials was directed to bury family members as close to other family members as possible.
