Captain Anthony Wayne and Family

Three flat monuments mark the graves of members of the Wayne family just inside the Lychgate. Captain Anthony Wayne, the patriarch of the Wayne family in America and grandfather of General Anthony Wayne, is buried with his son, William, in the first grave. The eldest Wayne emigrated to Pennsylvania with his family from Rathdrum, County Wicklow in 1723. He served on the vestry in the 1720’s with his friend, John Hunter.

The center tablet marks the grave of Isaac Wayne and his daughter, Ann. Isaac was the father of the renowned Major General Anthony Wayne.

The third tablet marks the grave of Ann’s husband, Captain William Hayman. Capt. Hayman served in the Continental Navy during the Revolution aboard a ship called “Hope”. A headstone among the grouping marks the grave of Francis Wayne and his wife, Elizabeth. Francis emigrated with his father, Capt. Anthony Wayne.
