Gideon Thomas Macon

Inscription on the grave reads, "A Soldier of the Revolution".

Note: He does not appear in the DAR Database; however, that does not mean that he did not fight. It only means that no direct descendants ever filed for membership in the DAR. On the other hand, he was a Quaker by faith & this inscription could be faith/scripture-based in its meaning.
