Biography

1776 Project
Private Shadrach Hathaway served with Capt. Samuel Robinson's Company, Vermont Republic Militia during the American Revolution.

Shadrach Hathaway was born on 22 Sep 1747 at Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut.[1] He was a son of Simeon Hathaway and Deborah (Austin) Hathaway.[2]

In 1773, he married Jael Smith (1754-1841)[3][4] at Bennington, Bennington, Vermont.[5] A record is found for one child, although they may have had more:

Shadrach was a soldier of the American Revolution. According to his widow's testimony, he went into Canada in 1775 and was in the Battle of Bennington in 1777.[4] In May 1781, he served in the company of Captain Samuel Robinson. [7] A pension was awarded for his service.[8]

The 1790 census for Bennington, Bennington, Vermont, enumerates Shadrach as a head of household with a family of six.[9] In 1800, his family has grown to nine.[10] By 1810, the Hathaways have moved to Swanton, Franklin, Vermont, with a family of eight.[11]

Shadrach Hathaway passed away on 26 May 1815 in Vermont.[4]
