Shubal seems to have lived near Rhinebeck, in Dutchess County from about 1763 through 1769 when the family went to Kinderhook, Columbia County. Several of his children were baptized at Rhinebeck but he was not taxed in Dutchess County. He was mentioned at the 19 OCT 1775 meeting of the Albany Committee of Correspondence. He and Jonathan Head and three other men had evidently signed a petition against the promotion to Captain of Dorck Gardner on 5 OCT 1775. He was on a roll of the King's Loyal Americans under command of Col. Ebenezer Jessup at La Chine, Canada 12 JAN 1778. He was noted as in hospital. Family tradition affirms that he was a Loyalist and claims he was killed during the Revolution.
