This is an "In Memory Of" memorial for Abraham Banta, placed by the Dutch Cousins organization in 2007. Abraham's farm was located south of Harrodsburg. But he died before the meetinghouse was built in 1800, and his gravesite is not known or marked, so this marker is placed here at the request of descendants. Abraham, son of "Father Henry" Banta and his first wife Rachel Brewer (also spelled Brouwer), came with his family to Mercer County, KY in 1781.
Abraham was a member of Capt. Hugh Campbell's 2nd Battalion of York County PA militia. He was stationed at perth Amboy, New Jersey (now Camp Joyce Kilmer.)
Abraham married Margrieta Montfort about 1768 and they became parents of at least seven children. They migrated to Kentucky in 1781. Abraham later became the trustee of the Low Dutch Colony near Pleasureville or Bantatown, KY. All purchases for the original Low Dutch Settlement were made in his name. When he died suddenly in 1793, it caused serious legal issues for the Low Dutch Company that had to be settled in the courts.
