"A gravestone has been set up over a long-forgotten grave in the old Bethany burying ground, in Wayne County. The existence of the grave was discovered some time ago by a man who was walking through the brier-choked burial place. He struck his foot against something in the weeds.....
Randall Wilmot was the father and Mary Wilmot the mother of David Wilmot, of 'Wilmot Proviso' fame. Randall Wilmot kept a tavern at Bethany in 1814, and David Wilmot was born in the house on Jan. 20 of that year....Citizens of Bethany have replaced the old tombstone at the head of his (David's) mother's long-unknown grave, and will build an enclosure around it..."
