Paden. The wounded were Captain Hammond Garmany, John R. Alexander, Thomas W. Hunt and William Stapp.
In 1837 a meeting was held in Lawrenceville to decide to have the bodies of the eight young men who had died at Shepherd's Plantation brought back to Gwinnett County. They were buried with military honors in a common grave on Friday, February 17th, 1837, in the northwest corner of the courthouse yard .
In 1840 a marble monument was erected on the site by Henry Fitzsimmons.
