I believe John Cram, along with his brother Joseph, served in the New Hampshire Militia during the 1776 Revolutionary War. Here's a primary source for John's service under Captain Sanborn where, prior to 9 Sep 1777 he and others in the list received advanced pay as they were getting ready to march 175 miles to Bennington.
