On Saturday, July 25, at 1:00pm, the flag will fly at an event to honor Francis Watts at Riverside Cemetery, 122 William Street, Towanda. Although Francis, with his wife and family, lived in the Towanda area, there is no known site of his burial. This event will include a memorial marker in recognition of Francis Watts’s military service throughout the war. He had enlisted as a private in the 4^th Continental Light Dragoons, a mounted force that rode ahead of the army – scouting roads, carrying intelligence, and facing dangers. He was at Philadelphia, Brandywine Creek, Germantown, and Valley Forge. In 1777, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Pennsylvania County Militia.
