Avon Village history notes Revolutionary War veterans
Avon Village on Detroit Road was renovated for a small business. Joseph Moore, a Revolutionary War veteran, lived and died in Avon and is buried in Avon Lake. Moore and his wife Hannah Miller came to Avon in 1822 with 11 children. Calkins suggests others arrived in the 1820s and 1830s as Avon emerged from a simple crossroads. Lorain County historians note many veterans buried in the county, exact numbers unavailable.
