Thank you for honoring the memory of Adam Heiskell, he is my 4th great-grandfather and I became a member of the DAR based on his service. I hope to spend some time in Winchester later this year when I attend DAR Congress. Can someone provide information about where within the cemetery this SAR marker can be found? I would like to find it if possible during my travels.
