FORWARD

It is with a great deal of pleasure that I have agreed to Mr. Donald K. Bostwick's request to add a foreword for this booklet. Compatriot Bostwick as Chairman of the Graves Registration Committee of the Binghamton Chapter has been a leading light in developing the information contained herein. For many years I, as well as many other amateur historians have assumed that the 40 odd names of the so-called Revolutionary War Pensioners contained in the archives of the Broome County Clerk's Office, was the entire list of all Revolutionary War veterans in this County. It was through the research of this Graves Registration Committee it became known that we had many more veterans of the War of the Revolution residing in Broome County than that list indicated. It has always seemed to me that if there is a purpose for the existence of an organization such as the Sons of the American Revolution, that that purpose should be to develop certain information pertaining to any given subject. To render the necessary financial assistance in fostering that subject and to sponsor or underwrite a compilation such as this. The Binghamton Chapter plans to make this booklet available to all local libraries, historical societies and any other group who show a specific interest in this subject. We feel that to bend our efforts and donate our money for this purpose readily justifies the existence of our Society. Our basic purpose in preparing this booklet is to supply an authorative reference for future generations who may wish to become better informed of the part the early settlers of Broome County played in the American Revolutionary War and American Independence. Yours for Better Historic Understanding, Philip C. Myers, President Binghamton Chapter.

APPRECIATION

In 1893, the late Susan Doubleday Craft, Charter Member of the Tuscarora Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, published a pamphlet containing the names of approximately two-hundred Revolutionary War veterans who settled in Broome County, New York. Mis Craft traveled by horse and buggy throughout the county, compiling vital statistics and Military service records necessary for such a work. To date, the pamphlet which resulted from this tireless research has been our best source cf such information for the Broome County area. To Susan Doubleday Craft go our highest compliments and admiration. Few people have equalified her devotion to the men who fought for American Independence, either before or since. In 1953, using Susan Doubleday Craft's booklet as a guide, the Binghamton Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution set out to put SAR. (Soldiers of the American Revolution) markers on all such veteran's graves that could be located. This project led to further research on the part of compatriots, Walter Irving, Dr. Hugh Gregory, Joseph Westcott, Donald Bostwick, and other members of the Graves Registration Committee. Pension records and various other sources of information yielded further data, which together with the result of Miss Crafts research, is presented in statistical form througheut this book. Although considerable care has been exercised in gathering and editing the information contained herein, it is by no means to be considered completely accurate. It should be extremely useful however, to those seeking official references, and should provide a much better understanding of the part played by the Revolutionary War veterens in settling Broome county.

COLORFUL STATISTICS 

Revolutionary War Veterans who settled in Broome County brought with them memories of practically every battle and campaign of that War, including the Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill, Lexington, Saratoga, Bennington, Dobbs Ferry, The Wyoming Massacre, and many more up to the victory at Yorktown and Washington's triumphant march into New York City. Among them were men who had served as body guards to Washington and LaFayette, as Green Mountain Boys, as guards of the captured Major Andre, as Minute Men, or as a Marine under Captain John Paul Jones. Among them were represented all the set backs and all the victories of the War of 1776. One need only to name the battle, and it is represented by a veteran who is buried in Broome County. It is interesting to note that in several cases, many veterans of one particular regiment settled in Broome County. There were no telegraph wires, no radio or television to spread the news, but from one veteran to another the word seemed to spread that in Broome County there was good farm land. This was good news, especially to the land hungry folks of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Hence in several cases, as many as ten to fifteen veterans of a single regiment came to settle here after the War. A breakdown, showing the States under which the men served, follows. Among those represented as "unknown", it is reasonable to assume that several served in the Continental Army.

  • Connecticut 65; Settled in Nearby Counties 14;
  •  New York 52 Settled in Broome County 303;
  •  Massachusetts 46;
  • New Jersey 9;
  • New Hampshire 5; Burial place known 205;
  •  Vermont 4; Burial Place unknown 112;
  •  Rhode Island 3;
  • Pennsylvania 1;
  • Unknown 132; Where they settled known 256;
  •  Where they settled unknown 61;
  •  As of 1960, a total of 119 Revolutionary War veteran's graves have been located and photographed in Broome County. These pictures appear in another section of the book.

    • TOWN AND CEMETERY DIRECTORY

    As an explanation, we would like to call to your attention the following, not to get in a dispute with the local historians but to give reaon why you find the towns of Owego and Berkshire under the County of Broome.
    1. The book "New York Pension Roll" from which many references are taken lists the towns of Owego and Berkshire under the County of Broome.
    2. On page 132 "Spafford, Horatio Gates: Gazete of New York State", published in Albany, Aug. 12, 1813, we find the following: "Berkshlre, a township in the N.W. extremity of Broome County"; and on pages 264-5, "Owego, a large township situated in the S.E. corner of Broome County".
    3. Another reference, "Gazeteer of the State of New York" by J.H. French, published by R.P. Smith, Publishers, 8 So. Salina Street, Syracuse, N.Y., 1860: Page 178, "Broome County was formed from Tioga County on March 28, 1806. Owego and Berkshire were annexed to Tioga County March 21, 1822, from Broome County". Revolutionary War veterans who settl d. in Broome County are listed below in three groups:

    1. Area in which they settled and cemetery is unknown;
    2. Area they settled in is known, but the cemetery or burial place is unknown;
    3. Area and cemetery is known; however, unless there is a star in front of the name, the exact location of the grave is unknown.

    • The cemetery of Whitney Point, John Seymour Sr. and Dr. Daniel A. Wheeler gave to the public a plot of ground for a cemetery at a very early day and probably on the site of the present one. Hannah Lee was the first person buried there in 1791. It was then an unbroken forest and remained so for many years. When a person died, a spot was chosen between the trees and a grave dug. Two additions have been made - one from H.A. Seymour's orchard and a larger one from Alfred Thurston's lands. (Note: I.N.C. Thurston, buried in Upper Lisle Cemetery, could have been related to the above. I.N.C. is not interpreted - D.B.)
