Calvin Hawkins served in Colonel Isaac Belknap's 1st Regiment New York Militia. A number of the Captains in this Regiment were from the Orange County NY area. You will want to see if any record of his alleged desertion exists in his CMSR records in the National Archives, as I doubt this type record would be listed in a County History. His records are in Roll Box 95- record # 258.

Rumor has it he enlisted and deserted. Can anyone tell me if this is true or where to look? He was residing in New York at the time. Thanks
