Who was “Father Gatch” and why does his legacy still matter in Clermont County?

Born in 1751, Philip Gatch defied expectations early in life, leaving the Church of England to become a Methodist minister despite strong opposition. His faith came at a cost. He was attacked, tarred, and permanently injured for his beliefs, yet he continued his work with unwavering conviction.

Gatch’s journey eventually brought him to Clermont County, where he built a life rooted in both faith and principle. He freed his enslaved people, left the South behind, and became a strong voice against slavery at Ohio’s first Constitutional Convention.

But his impact did not stop there. As a judge and community leader, “Father Gatch” became known for his balance of justice and compassion, guiding a growing frontier community with both strength and empathy.

If you saw the Spectrum News report yesterday, then you heard right — the America-250 Ohio Revolutionary War Veteran Graves Project app will remain live for continued data collection!

https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2026/05/25/revolutionary-war-veterans--graves-ohio

After a year of incredible work, more than 500 volunteers documented 4,344 Revolutionary War veteran and patriot gravesites across 1,487 cemeteries in Ohio.

The final results from this year-long effort will go live by July 4, 2026 — but the work doesn’t stop there. One of the greatest strengths of this project is that it’s a living document, meaning information can continue to be added, corrected, and refined over time.

So keep getting out there and helping us work toward documenting all 7,000+ Revolutionary War veterans and patriots buried in Ohio! Any new information submitted will continue to be incorporated into the final dashboard after the initial July 4 release.

Want to help? Learn how to volunteer, access the collection portal, and explore the live dashboard here: https://www.ohiohistory.org/preserving-ohio/history-preservation-where-you-live/revwarvet-graves/
