• Notes

  Israel served as a private under Col. Swift of the Connecticut Line during the Revolutionary War. He enlisted from Stonington, 10 JAN 1777, for 3 years. On 14 APR 1818, Israel applied for a pension for his military service. He was then a resident of Springville, PA and stated that he was a farmer living with his wife Sarah, who was in poor health, his son Israel, who was too poor to give help and a daughter Sookey, who was retarded. The pension was granted 22 JUL 1819 (Rev. War Pension #3577). Israel inherited the northern part of the Stonington homestead from his father in 1784. He and Sarah lived there for a while and later moved to Montville, CT. About 1814, the family resettled in Susquehanna Co., PA.
