I don't know anything about checking for information on a Revolutionary War entry so would appreciate any help anyone can give me on finding out more about the following soldier: On Rensselaer Co. Web site: Under town of Lansingburgh: from "History of Rensselaer Co., New York" was this entry: Capt. Noble's company of Col. Stephen I. Schuyler's Albany Militia, Aug. 11, 1777: Paget, John, Private I believe that this John Paget is actually John PADGETT who lived in Troy and while in the war, he came home and had to evacuate his family, accompanied by a company of Light Horse, from Troy to Albany due to Tory threats to kill him. John came to America from England just prior to Rev. War but "although an Englishman he was true to the country of his adoption and served her interests and fought for her freedom all through the war with the mother country" as per his granddaughter's written history. An entry in "New York in the Revolution" stated donations were to be distributed to Distressed Inhabitants in Albany County..... and under names of the "poor" was John Padgett, which I beleive came as a result of their fleeing Troy and losinig everything they had & ended up in Albany and thus showing up in 1790 wher a John Padgett was living in Rensselearwyck Manor on Schuyler's lands and about two years later moved to Oxford, Chenango Co., NY. Any help anyone can give me to try to ascertain if my John Padgett was the Private John Paget in Capt. Noble's compnay of Capt. Schuyler's militia would be immensely appreciated! This has been a brick wall for a long time. Sandy Goodspeed, Maryland, NY
