His parents were Philip (1708 Rehoboth, Mass - 1799)and Submit BALLARD. Philip's parents were Philip (26 Jan 1669/70 - 17 March 1746/47) and Ithamar WARFIELD. This Philip was the son of Roger Amadowne, the original immigrant, and Joanna HARWOOD. Therefore, Roger Amadowne would be the third great-grandfather of Noredon and Alidon Amidon. My records are not infallible. I recommend you use the above information as a guide and set out to find the documentation to support it.

I have several of their Revolutionary War pension files. My records indicate that Joseph responded to the Lexington Alarm from Charlton, but being 50 years old at the outbreak of hostilities, he did not serve again. As you mentioned, his brother Henry (my 5th great-grandfather)did serve. He is on the Lexington Alarm list from Willington, Connecticut as a private. He was commissioned Capt. by Gov. Jonathan Trumbull on March 21, 1777. At least four of Henry's sons also served in the Revolutionary War; Jedediah, Moses, Jonathan and Jacob. The oldest son, Jedediah, like his father, was on the Lexington Alarm from the town of Willington. He served as a Corporal in Capt. Thomas Knowlton's company. Thomas Knowlton was the commander who sent Nathan Hale on his fateful spy mission. Jedediah participated in the the battle of Bunker Hill, where Capt. Knowlton was killed. While engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with the British Jedediah was seen to fall and for a time was missing, it was feared that he was killed. It developed later that he received a slight wound in the foot and his motive in falling was to deceive the enemy, who would think him dead instead of disabled. On 12 June 1777 he was commissioned Captain by Governor Jonathan Trumbull. He was engaged in the battles of Harlem Heights and White Plains. He was allowed pension on his application August 1832 while a resident of Ashford, Connecticut. Moses was also engaged in the battle of Bunker Hill. He was also engaged in the battles of Long Island and White Plains. He was placed on the pension rolls in 1833. He was living in Washington County, New York at the time. Jonathan served in Capt. Jonathan Parker's company from May 1777 to June 1778. In Nov. 1777 they joined General Washington in Pennsylvania. He was in the battle of White Marsh, then spent the winter at Valley Forge. He had 2 additional enlistments after this time. His name appears on the rolls at the Valley Forge Visitors Center. Jonathan reportedly was at the siege of Yorktown and the surrender of Cornwallis. He was living in Orange Co., Vermont at the time he applied for his pension. Jacob, my 4th great-grandfather, served as a private from August 1782 to August 1783. According to his pension application he wasn't engaged in any battles. In 1805 he removed to Onondaga County, New York. I recall that one of the sons served as an aide to his father, Captain Henry, but I cannot locate that documentation at this time.

Patience Chaffee (1741-1816). They lived in Ashford, Windham, Connecticut, but eventually moved to Onondaga County, New York. I know that Joseph reportedly responded to the Lexington Alarm with his brother Henry, who later served as Captain in the Conn. 23rd Regiment Militia. However, I do not know what Joseph did after Lexington. My wife is descended from Henry, whose son Jacob also relocated to Onondaga. I have looked at the passenger list but have not found a connection between any of the wives and the Mayflower. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
