Bradford Co., PA, residents who fought in the Revolutionary War and their place of burial or death. Taken from "Pioneer & Patriot Families of Bradford Co., Penna. 1800-1825" by Clement F. Heverly, 1915, pages 436-444. (This list amends a list previously published by Heverly in Vol. I, pages 349-364) Typed for the Bradford County USGenWeb site by John Hoff of Oklahoma. See also Corrections from Kelsey Jones at bottom of page. Todd Farmerie of Ohio went through Heverly and extracted the names of many of the spouses.  Please send me the names of any spouses you can. Register yourself as a descendant of the pioneers of Bradford who are your ancestors. Note that a few of these people are also listed on the Tioga County Revolutionary War page as they lived in both counties. If you are using a married name alias, please sign your name in the format Jane SMITH Doe. Moonrise at sunset over Joyce's pond.

1) Wm Carr was buried in the old Baptist Burying Ground also known as Wisner Park Burying Ground in Elmira. Had marker there. Bodies and markers were removed to other cemeteries when they made a park. Many went to Woodlawn so he is perhaps buried there now. Woodlawn Cemetery office would have record if there. They are real helpful and perhaps Joan or someone could call them during regular hours. When just one look-up they will do over phone. His association with Wells was when he was living with his son for a period of time.

2) Solomon Judson and wife have a monument in Mosherville Cemetery. This is a four-sided 1800 period monument placed there sometime in the 1800's and they were evidently reinterred there. Judsons lived where later became John Roy farm. This is the first residence on main road north of Mosherville where Shutts now live and have an antique shop. Just north of this residence on main road is a bridge across Seeley Creek. At south end of bridge is a private road you can drive out and where they are getting gravel from. If you follow this road along tree line and look over you will see a sap house. North Wells Cemetery is on small knoll there. This could be same place where Judsons were buried as I believe this small cemetery was on land that was part of their farm or if it wasn't it bordered their farm, but I have no proof that Solomon and wife were buried there or elsewhere on their farm. Thus, I would just say they are buried at Mosherville vs John Roy farm. No one is going to know where John Roy farm was except for me and perhaps one or two others.

3) Reuben Rowlee of Wells should be Shubal Rowlee. I would assume perhaps typo because of two Reuben beside each other. I have no proof where Shubal is buried. Could be Mosherville, Coryland or family cemetery unknown to me. He has son Shubal Jr., in Mosherville but that does not mean his father is. Some of the old records refer to him as being buried Wells and this to me just means Wells township and is not referring to a cemetery. Elizabeth wife of Shubal died in Apr 1813 and William Keyes was suppose to be first death of an adult in Wells and he died 1813. Thus, Elizabeth would have been buried in one of the very early cemeteries Coryland or Mosherville or private family cemetery and Shubal most likely buried with her. I have always wanted to research and find out where they owned land in Wells which could give better indication of where buried. 

Hi Joyce,

I noticed on the Revolutionary War page that the following soldiers are not listed: William Webber, Bradford County, lived in Columbia Twp., Bradford County, buried in unknown and unmarked grave, married Lois Baldwin; David Brown, buried in the Spear Cemetery, Bradford County, married Catherine Avery; Elisha Andrus, buried in Granville Cemetery. Also, Abraham Parkhurst is listed as a soldier buried in the Bailey Cemetery, but there is a field stone making his grave in the Granville Cemetery along with a metal marker from the Morse Funeral Home in Canton.

Joyce,
#1. I am a descendant of Lockwood Smith and his wife Rachel Platt, through their son Platt Smith.

#2. Why are Philip Rogers and his son Jacob not listed? They both served and are buried in Warren Centre, Luzerne County, Pa  and Warren, Bradford County, Pa. [Answer -  because Heverly did not include them and no person has since submitted them for inclusion]

Philip = Service in the Revolution: enlisted in the 13th Regiment Albany County Militia, commanded by Col. John Mc Crea and Col. Cornelius Van Veghten.
Signed Petition for Protection-1778.
Service listed: New York in the Revolution as Colony and State by Roberts, 2nd Ed, 1898, Vol 1, pg 122. Certificate No. 382459 (date burned off) for L6 7S 1 3/4d. Issued to Philip Rogers for services as lieutenant in the above regiment.
PS-Public Papers of George Clinton, Vol 3, pg 211.

Jacob = from the records of Dickerson Rogers (son of Jacob Rogers).
"Before the removal of the family down the Hudson, my father, then a lad of some fifteen years, enlisted for three months to assist in the building of Blockhouses and forts at Fort Miller, Fort Edward, and Fort Ann. The work being completed before the expiration of the full term of three months, my father was discharged and returned to his home, and soon after was employed as before related in the removal of the family to a place of safety, down the Hudson. For the service thus rendered by my father, my mother, after his death in 1830, received a small pension by virtue of an act of Congress passed later."
In 1966, my great-aunt Mildred made mention that Jacob is buried in a meadow of Wayne Antidsdel, West Warren, Bradford County, PA.
He also served in the War of 1812, with the 32 Reg't (Krickbaum's) Pennsylvania Militia.

Do you know if the Antidsel family still owns this land, or who does?
Maybe some day I will have a chance to visit Bradford County. I would really like that. Jacob's son Dickerson moved to Wisconsin  and until my father the family has lived there.

Thank you for your time,
Lynn Sundholm

Joyce:

My great-great-great-great-great-grandfather:

Uriah Terry, born Southold, Long Island, NY in October, 1728; died in Terrytown, PA on June 29, 1804.

First wife was Abigail Case. Second wife was my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Bethia Wells.

Was a Revolutionary War Veteran as well as an Elder in the Presbyterian Church.

Buried in Terrytown Cemetery.

Clement Heverly's History of Bradford County, Pennsylvania (your site) describes Uriah as "the schoolteacher, moralist, theologian and also the Poet Laureate of Terrytown, Wyalusing and all that section of county."

Thanks,
Terry Callen

Hello Joyce,

After receiving your latest email stating you were updating the Revolutionary War Couples page, decided I'd better register while there is still time.

I am a direct descendant of Samuel Cole, Sr., b. 8 June 1733 - married 10 March 1756, Pomfret, Windham Co, CT. to Dorothy Hutchins, b. ca. 1728 in Dudley, Worcester Co., MA (She was christened on 25 May 1729).  They are my 5G Grandparents.  Their son, Elisha Cole and his wife, Amy Salisbury Cole are my 4G grandparents.

I am also a direct descendant of George Head (my 6G Grandfather) through their daughter, Catherine Head, who married Henry Salisbury.  Amy Salisbury married Elisha Cole (the same Amy and Elisha noted above).  Amy was born 26 March 1777; Elisha was born: 15 August 1769 in Pomfret, Windham Co., CT.  They were married on: 27 June 1798 in Monroe Township.  Elisha and Amy are both buried in Cole's Farm Cemetery.

By the way, Henry Salisbury was also a Revolutionary Soldier, although I only saw William Salisbury mentioned on your page.  Henry's name is found among those persons whose services are evidence by a manuscript on file in the Comptroller's Office at Albany, NY.  Other records of Henry's War service may be found on page 275 of, New York in the Revolution as Colony and State, by James A. Roberts, Nat'l number - 77613.  His service is also noted in, The History of Monroe, by C. F. Heverly, pages 51 and 68. He was an early settler in the lower part of the Monroe township. At that time this part of the country was Lucerne County, which was later divided and the part in which Henry built his home became Bradford County. He and his wife, Catherine Head are also buried in Cole's Farm Cemetery.  Henry and Catherine are my 5G Grandparents.

If you need any further information, please let me know.  Am not sure how much you wanted sent.  Your site just keeps getting better and better!!

Dear Joyce,

When perusing your wonderful site I researched my family of Brink's in the BRADFORD COUNTY VETERANS, PENN. Found one of my grandfathers that had been in the Rev. War but there was not much on him other than where he was buried in LeRaysville, PA. He was in the Revolutionary War.

Would like the following information to be included if possible:

Thomas Brink, son of Nicholas Brink and Catherine Decker was an Ensign in Capt. Manuel Hover's Co., Third Battalion, Sussex., N.J. He married Mary Marsh and died on 10 March, 1812 at Pike, Bradford County, PA. He was buried with his Wife  Mary at LeRaysville, Pa.

He had an interesting life as he was captured by the Indians, with two of his sons, in 1781 but apparently got away because his youngest son Simeon. of 10 children, was born in 1799 in LeRaysville, PA.

Thank you for your time in reviewing this note and thank you in advance for any consideration that you can give to this matter.

Thomas C. Brink

Dear Joyce,
On your website for Rev. War Soldier,
Clement corbin's wife's name is Mary Fillebrown.  Clement b. 1 May 1733 in Dudley, Worcester County, MA and d. 1825, warren, Bradford county, PA
Joan (Hamilton) Kushner
Las Vegas, Nevada

Samuel Starks (Revolutationary War Sgt.) spouse was Abigail SKEEL (Whittlesley Richards Starks). They were my great-great-great grandparents. Samuel is the son of  Samuel Stark and Elizabeth Joyner  of New London, Conneticut.  I assume Samuel and Abigail came with the other settlers from Conneticut to the Wyoming Valley after the Revolutionary War and ended up in Wyalusing, where they lived until their deaths.  He is buried in The Spring Hill cemetery and there is a Revolutionary War soldier grave marker there.
Abigail had 2 daughters from Capt. Whittlesley and one son from Richards. Abigail and Samuel had four children:  Charles, William, Samuel,
and Elizabeth.  .  Charles remained in Pennsylvania with his father, while William and Samuel came to Mississippi with Andy Jackson in 1811. William and Samuel are cited in a plaque at the Gulf Islands National Seashore Headquarters, Ocean Springs, Mississippi by the National Park Service, as heroes of the War of 1812.
William married Nancy Ann Davis and most of the  Mississippi Gulf Coast Starks' descend from those two people.   Later, their sister, Elizabeth--a school
teacher,  traveled overland to Kentucky and then down the Mississippi on a flatboat, to join them in Mississippi to "help William's wife with the children".   Samuel died at an early age, without issue and Elizabeth never married.
In the 1950s, my Aunt, Lillian Starks Kucera, and a cousin, Francis Xavier Starks, wrote a book on the geneology.  They traveled to Wyalusing and learned of a story about Abigail Starks encountering a bear in the woods.
I hope this brief history will add to the history of Bradford County. I am constantly  learning more of these people and if I get new information, I'll be happy to pass it along.
Julia Isabelle Starks McCann 

First let me express my appreciation for all your work in assembling this list.

I note that you have my ancestor, Simeon Marsh, listed with what I believe is some incorrect information. According to cemetery records of Kinzua, Warren County, PA, Simeon died in Kinzua on 2/28/1825. His wife's correct name was Jane Cole; Jenny was her nickname. Simeon and Jane lived in Wyalusing township for many years before removing to Kinzua.
Best regards,
Jack Butler

Dear Joyce:

Congratulations on the great work you continue to do!  I am unsure as to whether this is the appropriate e-mail address to submit additions to the
above web page but being unable to find the alternative, I herein submit three additions to the above Tri-County website.

The additions are David Sprague Allen, Stephen Oney Allen and Isaac Allen all residents of Bradford County, PA in its very early history. Each is the
son of Daniel Allen a settler to Bradford County in 1797.

Each of the above proudly served the Colonies during the Revolutionary War. The following chronicles their participation and their Revolutionary War
bona-fides have been verified on several occasion. My Mother was Ruth Francis Allen, thus detailed ALLEN HISTORY genealogy information is
available on request to interested parties.

Your work will preserved throughout the world and time!

ISAAC ALLEN:  It should be noted here that Isaac was resident to early Bradford County, PA as a taxpayer in 1812 Franklin Township.

PENSION APPLICATION

: 25 April 1818, Litchfield Co, CT - Isaac Allen of Norfolk appeared, state she is 63 years of age, that he enlisted at Fort Stanwick on the Mohawk

Mills Esq. of Norwalk attested for Isaac.

Mrs. Leslie O. Campbell of Georgetown, OH wrote the Pension Commissioner on 18 Feb 1834 asking for the above information. In the answer provided by A.D.Hiller, Assistant to the Administrator, he notes that Isaac Allen died 8 Oct 1818. This conflicts with the Ohio DAR records which state that Isaac died

Col. JOHN FRANKLIN. John Franklin had no children but he did marry Abigail Fuller, the widow of Capt. James Bidlack of Conneticut who was
killed at the battle of Wyoming in 1778. Abigail Fuller is my 5th great grandmother. I guess that would make Col. John Franklin my 5th step great grandfather.
STEPHEN FULLER. Steven is my 6th great grandfather on my mother's side.
SILAS WOLCOTT. Silas is my 4th great grandfather.

Jabez Sill and his spouse, Elizabeth Noyes, did have a son, also named Jabez Sill.
Your are correct in stating that Jabez Sill is buried in Macedonia.  But it is the Junior, not the Senior, that is buried there.  Jabez Senior was buried in Wilkes-Barre.  My source is:
Patricia Law Hatcher, Abstract of graves of revolutionary patriots, 1988, 4:34, which lists both of them.

Elizabeth NOYES "Sill", wife of Jabez Senior and mother of Jabez Junior, died in Windsor, CT & is buried in Windsor's Palisado Cemetery.  I believe that this can be verified in: Charles R. Hale collection of Connecticut vital records.

A fellow researcher brought your Web page to my attention.  If you accept my facts and sources, please remove the reference of Elizabeth Noyes, so that this incorrect info is no longer promulgated.

Thank you.
