WPA Veterans Records

In the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration made a map of the cemetery and collected data on each of the veterans buried there. I've transcribed the information below; as you can see, one soldier from the Battle of White Plains is named (Johnson O'Dell). There are a few strange inconsistencies in these records, for example William S. Lane seems too young (born 1808) to have served in the War of 1812. I also don't believe it's a complete list, as it leaves out Albert S. and William H. Lane. You can see these and other WPA Veterans Records at the Westchester County Archives Digital Collections.
