"As for me and my house we will serve the Lord"
This enclosure marks the spot where Capt. Ichabod Scraton and the remnant of his company were burried Dec. 1760.  Born in Madison, Conn. Feb. 19, 1717, he received his commission from the King George II and fought in the French Indian War.  On the return march from Ticonderoga, he and many of his Company were stricken with smallpox, died and were buried on this spot.  He was a man of patriotism and enterprise and his death deemed a public loss.
