[edit] Summary

This is the grave of Enoch Poor, a Brigadier general during the American Revolutionary War. His final resting place is at the old burial grounds of the First Reformed Church in Hackensack, New Jersey, off of River Street. The Hackensack Courthouse is visible in the background.

The statue/monument erected in his honor can also be seen behind the fence, on the island in the middle of the street.

Please take a moment to read the inscription on the grave marker, which I have transcribed as faithfully as possible, below:

In Memory of the Hon.^ble

Brigadier Gen.l Enoch Poor

of the State of New Hampfhire

who Departed this Life

on the 8 day of Sep^tr. 1780

aged 44 Years

Washington, Lafayette and a portion

of the American army attended the

burial of Gen. Poor

In 1824, Lafayette re visited this

grave, and turning away much

affected, exclaimed, Ah, that was

one of my Generals.
