He left Waterbury during the Revolutionary War, going to Woodstock, VT, then to Saratoga, NY, to Oqhuaga, Broome, NY, to Apalachin on the Susquehanna River to Choconut, PA, to Dutchess Cty, NY and then back to Susquehanna County, PA about 1827 where he was still living in Sept 1832. He enlisted in the first two campaigns as a private but was promoted to Orderly Drummer but when not on duty, he shouldered his musket and fought as a soldier. After April 1776, he volunteered under Capt. John Lewis and crossed over to Long Island and was in the last Regiment to leave the Island when the Army retreated to New York City after their defeat. At Harlem Heights he assisted in throwing up entrenchments which extended to the North River. He was discharged in Dec 1776 but after returning to Waterbury, he joined a company of "Minute Men" under Capt. Josiah Terrell ("Ring-bone Company") and was out two short tours.
