THE ONONDAGA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
SUPPLEMENT TO REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS OF
ONONDAGA.
By Rev. W. M. Beauchamp, S. T. D.
It was expected that the list of local Revolutionary sol-
diers would gradually increase, and two things have already
swelled it. Twelve names were omitted in the list furnished
me from the Syracuse Postoffice, and these are now added.
In that list Jonathan is always changed to John. When
the N. Y. pension roll of 1835 was procured over eighty new
names were added. Others came from other sources, but
many will never be known.
All names are given alphabetically, even if uncertain, but
the latter are designated. Some before suggested as pos-
sible are now certain. Some are repeated for needed addi-
tion or corrections. The list of 1835 gives service but not
town residence. That of 1840 reverses this. Reference
here to a town is for the account in preceding volume, but
a mere mention is only for locality.
The pension list of 1835 is perplexing, intervals of years
often separating applications for and granting of pensions,
nor do these agree with local records. In petitions it was
customary to state the age, but there seems no rule in this
list, yet it is thought best to give recorded ages with a
caution as to use. In the list at large hundreds of appli-
cations are said to have been made March 4, 1831, a very
unlikely thing. In this county alone 130 are credited to
that day. This list also throws light on the movements of
veterans. Some went to other counties; some came here
from them. A few of these will be noticed.
Careful examinations have been made in the Surrogate’s
office, but only highly probable names have been retained,
passing over some tempting records. It was hoped that
the files of Mr. Redfield’s early papers might be examined
with good results, but while this could not easily be done,
other journals have yielded much. Thus there will be future
work for younger hands, for this supplement ends this line
of research by the present compiler, now m his 85th year,
a pleasant task, with all its vast amount of work.
Incidentally it should be said that pensioners were but a
small fraction of those who served.
William Abbe.— (See Onon.) This pensioner died Aug.
6, 1833. He applied for a pension in 1818, and his age is
given as 75 years. In the 1835 list, however, ages are quiteONONDAGA’S REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS—SUPPLEMENT 189
uncertain, and dates of application by no means agree with
county records. In 1820 he was called 52 years of age.
Ahijah Adams.—(See DeWitt.) This pioneer’s name has
been misspelled by writers. The prostrate stone is broken
through the name, but it is Ahijah, not Abijah, and his
story briefly follows: He was born in Killingly, Ct., Nov.
1758, dying in DeWitt Feb. 3, 1841, in his 83d year. He
settled there in 1794, on a soldier’s claim 4 miles east of
Syracuse. When drafted for service he engaged a substi-
tute, who lost his leg and afterward lived on and with him.
He married (1) Lydia Cosgrove; (2)--; (3) Mrs. Lydia
(Hill) Granger in 1806; (4) Mrs. Hawks, April, 1840, and
had thirteen children.
John Adams.— (See Onon.) There seems no doubt that
both father and son were veterans. Major James H. Dur-
ham, of Cape Vincent, whose grandfather was a very early
settler here, and whose wife was a descendant of both
veterans, visited the son in 1825, being then five years old.
'“I remember that my father said that Deacon Adams was an
old soldier. My father was an army officer himself and
naturally would know about such matters.”
Abiel Allen.:—Camillas. Susannah Allen, adm., Jan.
18, 1808. Name in Mass., in Lexington alarm and later.
One from Worcester account in ’78, was then 22 years old.
Of course in these letters of administration age can only be
conjectured, and so the list has been carefully condensed.
Levi Allen.—Application made March 4, 1831. his ser-
vice being in the Conn. Militia. His home was in Salisbury,
and he was on an expedition against Ticonderoga in April-
May,’75. Aged 77.
Gideon Alling.—This veteran was born in Milford,
Conn., March 16, 1764, served there and went to Marcellus
in 1819, where he died Aug. 16, 1830. He married Sarah
Russel, July 11, ’82, who died Sept. 25, 1833. Record in
the family history.
Powell J. Amerman.—Some of the Amermans were
buried in the Owasco cemetery, Skaneateles, as this veteran
was, and others at Moravia, so that a reference to these
and the Austins is conjectural. They are classed as Cayuga
pensioners in 1835, but quite probably were buried in Onon-
daga county. Application made March 4, 1831, aged 70.
Served in N. J. Militia.190

Pompey Center. A family record said he was born in
Connecticut in 1769. He married Hannah Pease in ’96 and

Prostrate and broken stone, the only engraved one in the
small burial lot on the farm once owned by him, on lot 38,

have been buried on his farm near the Morgan church in
Clay. The name is in Conn, rolls from Hartford.

his will he gives to his daughter Abigail certain bedding
“after her mamma has made her selection.” His wife
Abigail, four> sons and three daughters survived him .
