I would have kept my mouth shut because these people will probably not be able to continue any excavation, remodel ect.
The State more than likely will declare the place a historic something and screw them over big time.

It’d be nice if the DNA tested the remains.

How’d they manage to be under a house foundation that was built in the early 18th century?

Howd they manage to be under a house foundation that was built in the early 18th century? The 18th century is the period from January 1, 1701 to December 31, 1800. So a house built in the early 18th century would have been built in the early 1700s.

That explains the periodic knocking noises and incorporeal moans.

And the article speculates that they are revolutionary war soldiers who died in 1777. So 70ish years after the house was built. Why would someone dig up their basement to bury ward dead? Answer: they wouldn’t. So the 1777 theory doesn’t hold much water.

I understand what is meant by 18th century. The home was built early and the battle was fought late.

From reading another article; it might be that the burial site was outside of the original home, which was very small. There were later additions and renovations where foundations & rooms were built over the unknown/unmarked grave-site.
