IN 1804, WORKERS REPAIRING A stretch of the old Braddock Road uncovered human remains buried in the roadbed. The discovery was at Great Meadows near what is now FarmingtonPennsylvania. Among the remains, they found buttons from the uniform of a high-ranking British military officer, which helped to identify the body as that of Major General Edward Braddock. The burial site was near the location where Braddock reportedly died from wounds suffered during the Battle of the Monongahela.
