Revolutionary War links
| Revolutionary Roots |
My ancestors served in the American Revolution, so if I wanted, I could join the DAR -
Daughters of the American Revolution. I just haven't gotten around to it. However,
here's all the information that links us back to our ancestor, my 6-greats grandfather,
Captain Nathaniel Scribner of the Duchess County Militia of New York. I have census
records and so forth, so I've included them here. Help yourself if it helps link you to
Nathaniel Scribner as well. I just wish I had pictures of some sort. They're just really
hard to come by prior to the 20th century. That's OK - maybe I'll luck into someone
who has paintings or drawings of some of these folks. Please Email me if you do - or
simply, if you have more information about any of these family members. For the most
part, I have it pretty easy. Once you hit my grandfather, we're following a male line
all the way back. My mom is a Scribner, so it was easy to trace.

"When the war of Independence commenced, the said Nathaniel
republican cause. He was commissioned a Lieutenant on march
15, 1776 and a few months after was promoted to a Captaincy.
Early in the struggle he received a wound in the battle of
Monmouth, in the arm, by a musket ball which entered at the
wrist and came out at the elbow. This wound disabled him for
active service and he was stationed with his company in the
borders of the "Neutral ground" near his home and for this
reason he lost the appointment for further advancement.
"Efforts were made to ascertain to what company and regiment
he belonged,in what engagements he fought and where he was
wounded, but the answers, returned from the war department
at Washington, state that the records were destroyed by fire.
His name appears in the Pension Office as a Captain of the
Connecticut Volunteers, drawing a pension up to the time of his
death.
"He was a man very much beloved by all who knew him, being
generous and kind in his disposition."
