General Notes: Husband - Cary Howard

---

He entered the patriot army as a private in Captain Amasa Sopor's company, Colonel Thomas Marshall's regiment, June 26, 1776, and served in that company on active duty until December 1, 1776; was at Castle Island, August 13, 1776; his name appears on the several muster rolls of the company up to December 1, when he was entitled to pay from November 1, the roll of the latter date showing him entitled to pay for three months' service. He next enlisted in Captain Nathan Alden's company, Colonel James Hall's regiment, with which he served until March 7, 1777, signing an order for three months' pay at Bristol, on that date. We next find him as sergeant of Captain John Ames' company, which marched, June 26, 1778, to Rhode Island to join Colonel Wade's regiment; he had then served in that company twenty-four days. From July 25 to September 9, 1778, he was sergeant-major in Captain Nathan Packard's company, Colonel Thomas Carpenter's regiment, on service in Rhode Island. He probably left the service soon after this latter date.
After his marriage he settled at or near Muddy Pond, at the foot of Bugle Hill in the township of Ware, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, where he lived until his death.
