How’d 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 1700’s.

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.
