My 5th gen. grandfather, Absolom Smith, ser...Hello,<br />My 5th gen. grandfather, Absolom Smith, served as a private 1st Regiment, Hunterdon County Militia serving under Captains Parker, Stout and Phillips serving tours from 1776 to 1781. He was a teamster, wagon with four-horse team in conductor Jonathan Higgins' Team Brigade in continental service at the post of Trenton March 1780. He was a resident of Amwell Twp. After the war, he moved to Clermont County, Ohio very near where I live today. <br />Absalom's brother John was also a private in the Hunterdon Co. Militia under Captains Clunn, Phillips and Snook serving monthly tours from 1779 and 1780. Also served in the 3rd regiment in Capt. David Smalley's company State Troops an as a minute man.<br />I am very interested to learn more about the Militia, what daily life was like for these soldiers - really anything that would enhance the history I have gathered of my Smith family.<br /><br />Any help or direction you could give me would be most welcome. Thank you!<br /><br />Linda Smith Walker<br />Cincinnati, OH<br />lmwalker3@gmail.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240527563663518032noreply@blogger.com
