Seeking documentation for Pvt. Edward Hathaway of Massachusetts
Hello cousins and American Revolution genealogists,
I have recentely been fortunate enough to find some time to do some more work on my Hathaway line and came across information that Edward Hathaway (1747 - bef. 1792)of Massachusetts served as a private in the American Revolutionary War.Unfortunately, I can't find my primary documentation for this information.It may have come from the book "The Hathaways of America," but I am still trying to locate a copy--San Francisco would be the closest library, but I am a good 7 hour drive away.Does anyone recall documentation of Edward's service in that war?He was born in Dartmouth Massachusetts and died in New Bedford so that would be a good clue as to the militia or particular demographic area in which he served. (Arthur Hathaway > John >Benjamin > Edward > Lemuel> Sally > Almira Mosher > James Franklin Dunsmoor > Mary Almira (Myra) Dunsmoor > Lester Ray Millard > Everett Ray Millard > me (Anna Millard Rogers.)
I noticed in a book entitled "Cemetery Records from California" published in 1943 by the D.A.R. the following names:
a.James Adams Dunsmoor, b. Mass. d. 12-23-1873 and his wife Almira M. b. 10-15-1817, d. 8-7-1903
b.James Franklin Dunsmoor 1838 - 1915 and his wife Hattie Murdock 1846 - 1926.
Perhaps they are mentioned in that book because Almira Mosher Dunsmoor is the daughter of Jethro Mosher and Sally Hathaway (May 04, 1795 - July 06, 1855) and Sally is the daughter of Lemuel Hathaway (April 25, 1777 - December 26, 1862) and Lemuel's father is Edward Hathaway (July 02, 1747 - Bef. January 02, 1792.)
Any information that anyone has documenting Edward Hathaway's service would be greatly appreciated.
All the best to all of you from Anna
