Research Notes
The records of service in the Revolutionary War should be reviewed. The man who was a clerk served in Connecticut; and the 1778 record for Massachusetts stretches the imagination that a man 62 years old would enlist for 3 years! Both of these records probably belong to other soldiers of the same name.
The one record shows In 14 May 1778 service in the Revolutionary War - enlisted for 3 years Massachusetts - Newater Town, Ipswich Capt Caleb Pilsbury's and Colonel Wigglesworth's Regiment (who was of the 13th Massachusetts Regiment (1777), Continental Army, American Revolution)
