July 1813 in Middletown CT) !! On 1 July 1777 William was appointed issuing Commissary to the battalions raised in Connecticut. Not as illustrious a wartime service as his brother Peleg had, but enough to qualify me for the DAR. :-) Ever find out where the name Peleg came from? I would be interested in knowing, just to satisfy my curiosity. I am fond of this family -- I even named my daughter after William's wife, Elizabeth Starr. Any idea how I can find William Redfield's grave? The "Genealogical History of the Redfield Family" by John Howard Redfield says that William is buried in the "old yard by the river" in Middletown, but that no stone marks the spot. Nice to see the Redfield name pop up on this list, in any case! Lynn Searching in CT: Baldwin, DeJersey (Jarcie), How(e), Redfield, Starr
