John Head sued David Vaughn, Jr. of Beekman in 1763. John Head signed the A of A in Northeast Precinct in 1775 and served as a Private in the Revolution. He appears to have moved to Westchester Co., NY where he was in Stephentown (now Somers) in 1790 between Eleazer Tillitson and Samuel Raynard. He died on a visit to see his son Lovitt. We have no name for his wife but Valeria was a Woolley family name and the Woolley family was in the Dover area.

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.

He was not taxed in Beekman but was on the rolls for North East Precinct from June 1765 - 1779. George Head was a Mabbett store customer 1761-63 and bought holland, thread and liquor. He was appointed Constable and Collector (of taxes) in North East 5 APR 1774. He signed the A of A in North East precinct in 1775 and was a Captain in the Sixth Regiment of Dutchess County Militia in the Revolution and was granted Land Bounty Rights. He was in North East Town in 1790 at 4-4-4 between Daniel Almsbury and John Jersey. He was involved in several legal actions in DC. Jacob Schermerhorn sued George Head for debt. Nathan Case sued George Head and Thomas Gray. George Head sued Simon I. Cole and Benjamin Van Steinburgh. He was indicted in JULY 1790 DC Court of Oyer & Terminer for perjury. Possibly to avoid this problem he went to Bradford Co., PA by 1793-4 with his family.

[George Head, also from Dutchess county, with a large family, came to Monroe, 1793-'94. Of his children were Alexander, Benjamin, George, John, Samuel and Catharine, the wife of Henry Salisbury, Sr. Mr. Head died about 1800.

He made tow depositions in his application, one in 1832 and the other in 1833. He served in 1776 under Capt. Jonathan Welles in Dutchess Co., and in 1777 he was in the six-month service. In 1778 he volunteered with his team (horses) for four months under Capt. Silas Marsh. In 1779 and 1780 he patrolled in the county and collected stores for 18 days under Capt. Pemberton. In Nov 1779 he served as a guardsman under Capt. Vanderburgh. Henry witnessed a deed in Nine Partners 3 MAR 1785 between Jeremiah Palmer and Pardon Burlingame. Britton Tallman wrote his will 10 AUG 1811 and in it mentioned his wife Deborah, his gr.-nephew Britton Tallman, son of Jonathan, and Elias, Henry and Henry Gilbert Head. Henry Head sued Benjamin Tripp in 1789. Henry became insolvent and the following notice is found in the local paper: "Henry Head, his goods and chattels, lands & tenements to be sold 5 April at his house in Beekman." Henry was in Beekman in 1790 at 2-3-3 between William Clark and Samuel Albro. He was a Duncan store customer ca. 1790-1795. Henry was indicted for riot & assault in 1796 (15 OCT 1796) and the case is interesting reading. Britton Tallman, Henry Head and Elias Head, all of Dutchess County, swore 20 JAN 1813 that they had seen Henry Wagman sign his will 13 FEB 1797. Elias Head was evidently a Quaker because he "affirmed", rather than swore. Henry Head was listed in Town of Livingston, Columbia County in 1800 at 2-1-2-0-1 and 0-1-0-0-1 between John I. Best and Ichabod Paddock. He was back in Beekman in 1810 at 0-0-1-2-1 and 0-0-0-1-1 between Israel Vail and Britton Tallman. He had two horses and three cows. Henry Head, age 82, a Rev. pensioner, was living with Henry G. Head in Duanesburgh 1 JUN 1840.

His widow applied for a pension 11 JUL 1838, aged 80 years, living at Lansing, Tompkins Co., NY. Britton Head, age 77, a Rev. Pensioner, was living with Britton Head (probably his son) in Ithaca, Tompkins Co., NY 1 JUN 1840. Britton Head served in the Levies under Cols. Albert Pawling and Lewis DuBois.

His widow applied for Bounty Land Warrants 11 JUL 1848 when age 80. The probate of her will, dated 23 OCT 1855, did not mention children named Smith, Margaret or Joseph.

He was probably the Lovitt Head who was on a farm in Petersburgh, Van Rensselaer Manor that was first tenanted by Timothy C. Avery. Lovitt Head began paying rents in 1807. Timothy Avery had leased the farm in 1799 and had sold some of it off to Stephen Slasson. Avery sold the balance to Head and he in turn sold it to Joseph Slasson 1 APR 1809. Head paid rents in buckwheat and cash in 1807-1809. Lovett Head of Castleton, Rensselaer Co., NY wrote his will 20 SEP 1823; proved 16 MAR 1824. He named wife Elizabeth; brother William and nephew Lovett. Others mentioned: William Hausten, Hiram Shieve, Lovett Obert, John Starnes, Robert Hitchcock and Hosea Mayes.
