Since his children are buried here, I bet he's buried here too, with wife Matilda Worth.

According to Quaker records the Latham Folger family were members of the Union Monthly Meeting from 1818 until 1825. On 21 September 1825, the family were given certificates to transfer to Silver Creek Monthly Meeting in Union County, Indiana.

Latham Folger was disowned by his meeting for his choice to participate in the Revolutionary War. He is a veteran of the war, so he SHOULD have a military marker.

Just wanted to clarify that, although Latham Folger was a "patriot" of the Revolutionary War, it was due to his support of the American cause by taking an Oath of Allegiance. He was not a soldier who fought in the war. Anyone who supported the American cause by taking the oath, provided food, clothing, shelter for the American troops, or paid the special tax to support the war, etc., were considered patriots. Military markers at gravesites are only issued to those who were members of the military.
