Eckel Cemetery

Route 49, Town of Vienna


 
 
This small cemetery is located on the south side of Route 49 along the north shore of Oneida Lake between North Bay & Jewell.  It is very well maintained however many of the older stones are badly worn.  The tombstones were copied by Kathleen L. Last and Virginia Ackerman on September 5, 2002.

This cemetery is the final resting place of Captain George Marsden.  His grave is marked with a bronze tablet that reads:

  The graves of Captain and Adjutant George Marsden, personal friend and staff officer of General George Washington, who died Nov. 12, 1817 age 80 yrs, also his wife Welmoth Lee of Virginia, sister of Richard Henry Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, who died Jan. 31, 1850 age 93 yrs.

  Captain Marsden resigned his rank in the British Army of Occupation, then stationed in Mass., and accepted an office in the American Colonial Army at the outbreak of the Rev. War.  He fought at Bunker Hill and at all the battles of Mass. and Eastern New York.  His conspicuous military brilliancy won his promotion in 1779 to the office of Adjutant on Gen. Washington’s staff, remaining there about one year.  They moved to the then forest wilds of Bernard’s Bay, New York and built their permanent home about 6-1/2 miles west of this plot.  Their log cabin abode was honored in 1783 by a 3 day visit by President Washington when on his tour of inspection of the Central New York fortifications.

  Erected to the memory of her great grandparents in 1921 by Bessie A. Marsden, dau of the late Linus P. Marsden of Bernard’s Bay, New York.
