Revolutionary War Graves
Capt Hendrick Aupaumut

The grave site in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, where Capt Hendrick Aupaumut was buried had many wood markers, which long since have decayed and disappeared.  Some time in the past, the graves were moved to different locations, and there is information concerning the Captain.  However, the original grave site has been marked, and markers have been placed at another location in the city.  Revolutionary War Patriot Jacob Konkapot also was buried at this site.

Thanks to Jim Waid, president of the Capt Hendrick Aupaumut Chapter SAR, photos of the markers have been provided, along with an article about the Captain written by Dr. H. B. Tanner and reprinted in 1948.  (Click on the small photos for full page view and click on your browser's "BACK" button to return to this page.)

Location of the original grave site in Kaukauna, Wisconsin.  See next photo for detailed view of the Wisconsin Official Marker.  The Grave site is located at the intersection of Thelen Rd. and 13th St.  To get there take 10th St (County  HWY Z) west from State HWY 55 to Kenneth St where you turn left (south) and go to Buchanan St. Turn right ( west) on Buchanan to Thelen Rd where you turn left (South). One block will bring you to the park where the marker is. 

An Official State Historical Marker honoring Revolutionary War Veterans Hendrick Aupaumut and Jacob Konkapot was dedicated at a ceremony  on May 10, 1977.  

Also during Bicentennial celebrations, a marker was placed at the corner of Hendrick and Reaume Avenues in Kaukauna in recognition of Capt Aupaumut.

This marker was presented by the United Paperworkers International Union Local 147.

Many years ago, in 1928, the Appleton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution placed this marker in Kaukauna in memory of Capt Aupaumut.  The DAR marker is located at the intersection of Reaume St & Hendricks Ave in the City of Kaukauna, Wis. To get there you go west from State HWY 55 on 7th Street to Hendricks Av. Turn right (north) and travel 2 block to the site.  As far as can be determined, the actual grave was located behind the house that is now at the intersection of Thelen and 13th St.
