Question

Any US Revolutionary War army service record confirming birth date for Jeremiah Piersol-95 born c1750 Chester Pa

Comments

Have you tried searching for him at Fold3? If you do not have a subscription, you can use it for free at any Family History Center, some public libraries also have subscriptions.

Answer 1

If he is the same as the Jeremiah Pearsall at the DAR, ancestor number A086964, you can purchase the application and supporting documentation. The DAR site does not have a birthdate for him, but perhaps there is something in the file that may support this estimate of his birth.

Answer 2

I did a search in Fold3 and didn't find any information pertaining to Jeremiah Piersol. However, information is always added to the database.

Answer 3

I have not seen any record of age in Revolutionary War service information. Sometimes in local, generally State, pension applications I have seen such references if they were very young, and many teens did serve, in the local militias especially. Good luck!

Answer 4

I searched on Ancestry and did not find any Revolutionary War pension application (which usually states age). It did appear that there was a Jeremiah and a Jeremiah Jr. If you can access Ancestry (say via a local library or local FHL center) you and find the 1813 will for Jeremiah. It doesn't state his age, unfortunately. You may get lost in all the land grants (note Jr and Sr)

Answer 5

I found Jerimiah Senior was born before 1695.Does this help?It was not in a war record.
