17) JAMES DINGMAN
James Dingman was born in 1758. In Walker´s Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Illinois we read
``James Dingman was born in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. He entered the service there in
1778, in Captain John Van Etten's fourth company, Col. Jacob Stroud's Regiment, sixth battalion.
A marble shaft marks his last resting-place in a family burying ground, which is near Riverton in
Sangamon County. The marker bears the following inscription: "James Dingman died September
3rd, 1836, aged 79 years, 11 months and 3 days; a Revolutionary patriot who fought the battles of
this country without reward save a consciousness of duty well done."

James Dingman Tombstone in Dingman Cemetery Clear Lake Township, near Riverton
The Dingman Cemetery is an old family cemetery located in Section 10, center of the section in
Clear Lake Township. It is on a hill about 100 yards east of the Grigiski Bros Slaughterhouse. It is
fenced but the stones are all fairly modern and standing. The County plat map of 1858 shows the
land to belong to Thomas A. King; the plat map of 1894 indicates the owner to be the Riverton
Coal Co. Neither map shows a cemetery.
James Dingman´s name is on the bronze marker in the Old State Capitol Plaza Springfield, Illinois.
The marker was first erected by the Springfield DAR and SAR on October 19, 1911.
The Sergeant Caleb Hopkins Chapter DAR marked this grave marked on November 3, 1968. The
marker is missing.
