And would you include one of our ancestors - Abraham Snyder-- who lived his whole life in Saugerties, served with a group from Saugerties defending the "wilderness" around Schoharie, Herkimer and other places both north (as far as Whitehall, Ft. George and Ft. Edward)) and south (northern NJ) then served at the Battles of Saratoga in the place of two soldier from Catskill? (his pension record actually gives their names-- and I believe one (Trumpbour -sp.)was eventually identified as a Tory. ) >From his pension record: "And in the Summer of 1777, he engaged as a substitute for Nicholas Trumpbour (editor's note: see pdf file - difficult to read) and Johannis Sax in the town of Catskill that he joined the Army under General Schuyler and was with the Army when General Gates took the command and remained in said Army as a private soldier until after the Surrender of General Burgoin(sp)and was detained as a guard to the prisoners and returned home near the middle of November of said year 1777 having as deponent believes been absent for the term of at least four months." If so...Do you want a copy of his pension record in PDF or word for the website? J.

Then they may have ridden days to find it and enlist. e.g. there was a Waldron's Regt. located in NH, if I were enlisting, I just might ride over there to sign up instead of joining Platt's or Brinkerhoff's Regt. I think it may be best to examine the records in context of the times. I have a couple of ancestral homesteads now in Greenville, Greenville Center and Coeymans, all of which would have been in Albany Co. during the Revolution, so service records of those enlistees would reflect their home County as Albany. ~ Ron W ~ In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara de Mare" <barbarademare@yahoo.com> To: <nygreene@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 1:46 PM Subject: Re: [NYGREENE] Rev War and locality search > Then I need to check my records too, as I had ancestors in Ulster and > Albany, so > should see exactly where they were.
