Sharon H. The way many of us who work on Washington County research approach these dilemmas is the 1800 census and watch for clues there-in then go to a google map. You might also contact the Washington County historian who is rather familiar with Fort Ann.

Asahel ROOT's full rev war pension file is online at footnote.com. You will need a subscription to access it. Chances are as a Rev War pensioner, someone up there knows where he lived and is buried. Try the Washington Co. historian and the archivist. The American Legion also usually keeps track of these guys for decorating graves and such. He is listed in the DAR Patriot Index so at least one woman has joined the DAR under him, maybe more. Google him in quotes with some other keywords and there is quite a bit about him online and in old books that are online at Google books and archive.org. I checked Landholders of North Eastern NY which covers some of the early deed indexes but do not see him listed. Some of the land, actually quite a lot of lands in Washington county were under leasehold and there will be no deeds. One thing that I have done to put people in communities, or at least have a general idea, is to look at all of the various census available for him and then copy 10 names each side of him on each census. Look for patterns and find someone that their property is known of and you should at least be in the right neighborhood. Be sure to check the Washington County Clerk's office deeds and mortgages indexes also.
