1. From Rev. Amos S Chesebrough's notes:
"On June 24, 1764, he owned the covenant and had his two children baptized. He was a
farmer, and on the first call for troops in April, 1775, to resist the British aggressions he
enlisted in Third Company, Sixth Regiment, under Col. Samuel H Parsons, Connecticut
troops, as a private; was discharged December 10, 1775; enlisted again in Durkees
Regiment; was taken prisoner November 16, 1776, on the surrender of Fort Washington,
New York Island, with 2818 other soldiers, under ___________ Magan. After his return
home he enlisted a third time in the Fifth Company of the Fourth Battalion of State troops;
was made Ensign and served under Gen. Spencer in Rhode Island. He continued in the
Army until near the close of the war."
"In the settlement of his estate his heirs, through the mismanagement and bad advise of the
administrator, Amos Denison, Esq., became involved in a long and expensive lawsuit, which
so wasted the fine estate that nothing remained to the family but the widows dower. His
youngest son, Charles Grandison, never married, but cultivated what was left of the old
homestead, living with his mother, who died at the age of 87, and his sisters Keturah,
Prudence and Mary."
2. Nathaniel served in the Revolutionary War as private from Connecticut.
