Military Service |
Continental Army, American Revolution |
He served as waiter (servant) to his father and had some time as a solder. Personal servants to officers were allowed and regulated. They were expected to carry arms during drill and in line of battle, though in practice this did not always occur. He applied for a pension but it was rejected. The law didn't allow service as a waiter to be counted and he could not prove enough regular service to qualify. He also helped spread the alarm at the burning od New London. |
