Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Grandview Cemetery in Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana.

GPS Coordinates: 39.03160, -86.93640

Grandview is a currently active cemetery just on the outskirts of Bloomfield, Indiana boasting a little over 5, 000 burials.  This is the largest cemetery in Greene County, I believe, and it has many notable burials important to the founding of the town of Bloomfield and the county in general.  I am not sure when the cemetery was founded, but I would assume it was not long after 1824 when Bloomfield was founded.

This is the grave of Michael Downing.

Born: unknown

Died: unknown (See below)

His stone is a memorial stone that says the following:

"Michael Downing

U.S. Soldier

War of 1812

War of 1794

RFV. War"

I think that should probably be REV. War, but it clearly looks like an F.

According to the Indiana Genealogical Society's records, he is listed as being buried in Hunter Cemetery, but there is no record of him actually being buried in said cemetery.  It is also listed that he died in 1840, while in a small biography of Revolutionary War Soldiers in Greene County lists his year of death as 1852.  

From Genealogy Trails, The Revolutionaries by W.D. Ritter.  You can read the entire article here.

"MICHAEL DOWNING in all wars a soldier, in peace an honorable, useful citizen, was born of Scotch-Irish parents, in Ireland, in the decade of the fifties of the last century. He emigrated from Cork, Ireland, to Virginia in time of the Revolutionary war. He was in the springtime of early youth and he felt as had his fathers for ages the grinding heel of oppression from the British government. In the long past they had no chance to help themselves. Now he might strike for God and home and the common rights of humanity.

    He enlisted in a Virginia regiment, marched, toiled, suffered and fought seven weary years against that flag "that for a thousand years had braved the battle and the breeze."

    From the best that can now be learned it seems that he was under General Wayne. No particulars are known of his long career as a soldier in the Revolution. We only know he was a gallant, efficient, useful man in it.

    When the blood and darkness had passed he put his hand to useful, honorable industry. In no act did these matchless heroes more show their real manhood than when they laid down their arms and walked the long, lonely journey to their desolate homes, with not even money to pay for a night's lodging—to beg their way, to work their way or starve their way, just as they could.

    Mr. Downing was a home and family man in peace, and in war was a soldier. To have a home was what great numbers had left all in the old world for. Just when Mr. Downing married cannot be told. The Revolution ended early in the eighties of the seventeenth century. Early in the nineties occurred Harmer's defeat here to the northwest. He was in that, for as long as he was able, whenever he had a chance, he was in the army of his adopted country manfully fighting the old, hated oppressor.

    Harmer and St. Clair both having been beaten by the Indians under British encouragement, Washington appointed Wayne to command in the northwest. With the stem joy that warriors feel Mr. Downing marched under his old, trusted, loved commander of the Revolution —"Mad Anthony," as he was called. All this my father told his children when Mr. Downing passed his house on his way to his son's (Andrew Downing) in 1832.

    At Wayne's signal victory at Fallen Timbers, called also the battle of Maumee Rapids, he took part in, as a many-times veteran. That victory, like Wayne's other great victory at Stony Point in the Revolution, was gained with the bayonet.

    The Indians were behind the fallen trees blown down by a hurricane, which gave the name Fallen Timbers. They supposed the whites would just be good enough to stand and be shot.

    As quick a charge as possible was ordered. The logs were mounted, the Indians were very still behind them : there they got the bayonet. Then some getting up and running took place by the survivors, and they got the bullet. Forward through that old forest went our army, and when the foe was driven out of it the victory was complete. One may imagine how so splendid a veteran as Mr. Downing, every fiber of soul and body ablaze with battle, would bear himself through such a bayonet rush as that.

    So far the dates of all his service are known to all. After this he is known to have been long a soldier along the frontier on the Ohio River as well as being, as we are caused to believe, five years in the regular army, taking' in the War of 1812. Now which of these took place first we do not know.

    At Fort Massac, on the Ohio River, in what is now Illinois, below the mouth of the Tennessee River, he was on duty; how long is not known. From there he carried the mail afoot and alone through the wilderness, likely to the falls of the Ohio, now to Louisville. The lonely, dangerous journey, the slow hours of night as they passed over the silent man in his solitary bivouac, the writer never passed Fort Massac without trying to imagine.

    Through the War of 1812, from what little we know, it seems he was in the regular army. Of his service in that war we have no particulars. It is only known i that he was in it and was still a soldier up to 1818 ; known that eleven years of his life ere spent in the tented field, and whether longer is not known. This is the longest soldierly career in actual war of any man who ever lived in Greene county. In 1818, on the Kanawha River in West Virginia, he embarked his family on a flatboat and came to Louisville. From there he came by land to Washington county, Indiana, where my father knew him; settled on Walnut Ridge; lived there until 1832, when he came to Bloomfield ; lived here some years, then went to Jackson county, where, in 1852, he passed from earth. In that year a land warrant was issued to him by the government for one hundred and sixty acres. His children were John Andrew, so long a very energetic citizen of Bloomfield, having built and operated the Richland furnace, built the old brick court house and jail and many other buildings, and was part owner of the steamboat "Richland"; Paul, the great flatboat pilot; Albert and Gallatin (twins), and Peggy."

His wife's name is not known, nor is the date of their marriage, his children's names, however, are listed just above:

Andrew Downing (?-?) - burial unknown

Paul Downing (?-?) - burial unknown

Albert Downing (?-?) - buried in Inland Cemetery, Bennett, Cedar County, Iowa (twin of Gallatin)

Gallatin Downing (?-?) - buried in Waskom Cemetery, Tampico, Jackson County, Indiana (twin of Albert)

Peggy Downing (?-?) - burial unknown

Now, here is something else about this stone.  There is ANOTHER listing for Michael Downing, which matches the entry above, buried in Pioneer Cemetery,  Tampico, Jackson County, Indiana.  You can take a look at it here.  It mentions a listing of graves at the Pioneer Cemetery where the stone was found.  That article is available here, the name is mentioned on the least page of the article.

There is a listing for Michael Downing in the Jackson County, Indiana Revolutionary War Soldiers, though there is no information about him.  The article above, clearly talks about him being in Bloomfield, so I don't have a lot of confidence that the Michael Downing in Jackson County should have all of the associated relative links.  The only two children on the list for the second Michael Downing, match the children lists for our Michael Downing as stated in the article above.  The other children listed may be the issue of the second Michael Downing.

This is very confusing as usual with very old burials that have little or no information, but I feel confident that the information I have is correct to the best of my ability.

Elijah Cavins was quite the man.  His biography states that during his funeral, all businesses and schools were closed.  Both branches of his family fought in the Revolutionary War, while his father, Samuel, fought in the War of 1812.  Elijah graduated from Indiana University school of Law in 1853 and went on have a successful practice.  In April of 1861, when a call went out for volunteers to serve in the Union Army, he organized a company of soldiers, which became Company D of the 14th Indiana Volunteers.  He was elected Captain and them promoted to Major on August 11, 1862; Lieutenant Colonel on January 22, 1863 and then commissioned as a Colonel on May 13, 1864.  His regiment fought in such battles as Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and many others.  This regiment suffered a loss of 592 men killed and wounded in service.  In 1864, his regiment was retired from service and he was commissioned as Adjutant General and Inspector General on the staff of Major General Hughes.

He had one sibling that I have found:

Ida May Kinman Utley (1856-1950) - buried in Galena Cemetery, Galena, Delaware County, Ohio

His is a sad story indeed.  According to a note in the Indianapolis Journal dated February 8:

"A novel wedding occurred here yesterday, Geo. Kinman and Miss Kittie Gray, the daughter of Dr. J.W. Gray, being the participants.  Cards were issued for the wedding about three weeks ago, but on the day fixed the groom was taken seriously ill, which interfered with the young couple's intentions at that time.  The bride patiently waited in anticipation of her lover's recovery, but he seemed to be growing worse as time went on, and when he became very much worse, yesterday, a justice of the peace was sent for and the young couple were married, although the groom was unable to turn over in bed.  The young man lived through the night and died at an early hour this morning.  He was twenty-seven years old."

As stated, he was married just before he passed away:

Kittie Gray Kinman (?-?) - burial unknown
