RUEBEN PARKER (B: 1738 Wallingford, CT).Looking for any Rev. War Service by him in the Conn. Militia.He reportedly received "Bounty Land" in Buternuts Twp., Otsego Co., NY and in the 1790s moved there with wife, HANNAH CHAPMAN of Waterbury, CT, whom he married in Waterbury on 10 Dec 1764.RUEBEN PARKER was the son of JOHN PARKER, III of Wallingford, and a long string of Parkers that went back there for ~100 years. I have the Parker line there in Wallingford fairly well documented, but any Rev. War service by RUEBEN PARKER in the Ct. Militia, which have been the basis to have received "Bounty Land", is missing.These are my 4th Great grandparents by the daughter which issued from that marriage, a HANNAH PARKER, born somewhere in CT in ~1768, and who in 1797, when she was age 29 and he was age 39, married NATHAN BREWSTER (in Butternuts Twp., Otsego Co., NY - where he had received "Bounty Land" for his war-time service).He was born in 1758 in New Windsor, Orange Co., NY and a Rev. War Vet from the 4th NY Militia and died in Athens Co.,. OH in 1842. HANNAH PARKER BREWSTER died in New Plymouth, Vinton Co., OH in 1855.
HANNAH PARKER BREWSTER and husband NATHAN BREWSTER, in turn had 8 children, including a daughter, MARTHA BREWSTER(born 1802 in Butternuts Twp., Otsego Co., NY - and died in 1892 - Dallas Co., IA), who in 1824 in Marietta, Washington Co., OH married a POWELL HOFF (VA 1801 - 1870 Dallas Co., IA).These were my 2x greatgrandaparents.Any help on establishing the military record or service in the Rev. War of RUEBEN PARKER?Please contact
