Donald, Sorry, no Isaac Springer in Fernow's book. Not sure what you mean by the unit splitting up. The 4th NY regt. fought at Saratoga under Col. Henry Livingston in the Fall of 1777. I have a project on the 'net covering those battles but no Isaac Springer. Good luck. Frank Date: Sat, 09 Dec 2006 15:29:59 -0500 From: "Donald L.

Springer. I have chased my ancestors back to the NY 4th Regiment Continental Line. I subscribe to these lists on the of chance that I can find documentation much the same as described in Mike's query. Any help would be appreciated. The ancestors, two of them, both served in the same unit. The unit only lasted about one year, 1775 to 1776 and then was split up into other units. I have found them on the Mohawk Valley site in the above unit. The names are Isaac Springer as a Lt. and Isaac Springer, his son, as a private. Any documentation would surely help.
