Re: Abednego Baze-Revolutinary War Vet ???
I have a copy of the records discussed in the following quotation.An Abednego did serve in the Revolutionary War, however, it does not appear conclusive he is our Abednego.Quotation from the research of Albert Eason Baze (7 Dec 1910-7 Oct 1997) provided by him via the named individuals about 20 years ago:
Research of Albert Eason Baze sent to Donna Lee Baze by Susan Kay Ott-Baze via Fern Portis of Synder, TX Oct 5 1975:
Research of Albert Eason Baze sent to Donna Lee Baze by Susan Kay Ott-Baze via Fern Portis of Synder, TX Oct 5 1975:"Compiled service records of Revolutionary War Soldiers filed in the National Archives and Records Service of the General Service Administration in Washington, D.C., contains a jacket on Abednego Boaz.The various spellings listed in the jacket show the first name to be "ABEDNEGO," "ABEDNIGO," and "EBEDNEGO."The surname is listed as, BOZS, BAZE AND BOAZ.One sheet shows MG. BAZE.

Richard Parker, of the First Virginia Regiment.He enlisted on Feb. 19, 1778, for period of one year.Muster and pay records show that he was at Valley Forge, Prince Town, Brunswick, Middle Brook and White Plains.His last muster roll is dated 2-5-1779.His final pay was made on 6-19-1784, and was received by Mr. Patterson.

Geography, time periods, and names permit the possibility that the soldier, ABEDNEGO BOAZ, BAZE, could have been the father of Abednego Baze in Virginia." This researcher has never found evidence all the offspring attributed to Abednego are indeed the correct names, dates, etc.
