— Seven men from Cape Cod who fought in the Revolutionary War are finally getting their due. Provincetown’s Cemetery Commission and the Daughters of the American Revolution are scheduled to dedicate grave markers honouring the seven veterans on Monday, the Patriots Day holiday. Officials say six of the men were buried in Provincetown’s historic Winthrop Street Cemetery. They say many early records that detailed where Revolutionary War-era veterans were interred were lost in an 1877 town hall fire. Organizers identified them as Solomon Cook, Seth Smith, Alexander Gross, Elisha Freeman, Stephen Atwood, Samuel Atwood and Joshua Atkins Mayo.
