Hello: I'm trying to figure out if ole Daniel and Amos were in Duchess County after the left their home state of Ct.  Daniel b. 1740 had all his children born in New York starting between 1762 - 1786.  Amos b. 1737 had all his children born in New York stating between 1759 - 1780.  I'm trying to determine whether they were in the county of Duchess before Daniel went to Canada and Amos to Ren.... County in New York as he is there in the 1790 American census. Can anyone help.  I've hit my proverbial "brick-wall" Tim tfenton@rogers.com

Tim, Prior to the enlistment policy being changed after the Civil War, all county militia regiments were raised from political subdivisions within each county. For example the 12th Regiment of the Albany County Militia was raised from the Half Moon Tax District of Albany County and the 13th Regiment of the Albany County Militia was raised from the Saratoga Tax District of Albany County. A man named Amos Nettleton lived in Dutchess County, NY during the Rev War because his is listed as having served in the Second Regiment to the Dutchess County Militia. This man is the only man by the name of Amos Nettleton whose name appears in the index of Roberts' "New York in the Revolution as Colony and State". However, what I can not tell you is from which political subdivision within Dutchess County the Second Regiment was raised. I have already posted a query asking from which part of Dutchess County the Second Regiment was raised. However, I have not received a response. I shall also post this query on the NY Military e-mail list and see if anyone on that list knows. Although I know that a man named Amos Nettleton lived in Dutchess County during the Rev War. I have no idea if he is the Amos Nettleton whom you are seeking. Land and church records would probably be more helpful in that task. (Deeds always tell you where the parties to the transaction resided at the time of the conveyance.)
