You are correct Paul. There are many other folks buried there as well. I
know of Delap's, and Hart's for sure and a couple of Roberts. The Hart's
dated back being born as early as 1804 I think it was. It was just a big
deal to get folks involved to donate money for stones and cleaning it up, I
think it generated a lot of attention because of the soldiers, but you are
right there are other folks buried there.

Not everyone buried in the Delap cemetery was in the military. I have an
ancestor that I believe was buried there in 1862. He was not in the
military
but was captured, according to a family story, by the Confederates when he
refused to join the Confederate Army. He was reported to have died by a
neighbor, who was also captured at the same time, but was later released.
So, I do
not believe all the graves belong to soldiers.
