- He was a blacksmith by trade. In 1755 he was recommended to be an ensign in Colonel Poor’s regiment, and at the age of twenty he enlisted in the company of Captain Nathaniel Huntoon, and in 1777 was first lieutenant in Alexander Scammel’s regiment. In 1781 he received instructions to go after deserters, and the next year appears with his son Reuben on the pay-roll of Captain Dearing, which in October was reduced to quarter instead of half pay. He served as a lieutenant during the Revolutionary War, and was wounded in the left arm, at the battle of Stillwater, Sept. 19, 1777; at another time a British bullet cut the knot off his necktie.
