Hi Joyce,

You may be interested in some updates/corrections on the Revolutionary Soldiers of Chemung County by Isabel Ridall that you recently put on the site. Some of these are important updates such as James Green who is listed as a pensioner in 1840 and has a death notice in the Elmira Gazette that gives his date of death and age and states that he was a Revolutionary Soldier and the last survivor of the Wyoming Massacre. If you use this information it might be helpful to put the information in a far right column beside each soldier's name. Otherwise, if it is at the bottom someone may go to their ancestor and then not scroll to the bottom to see further information. Just a thought.

The italics information is the correction statement and other information under each name is documentation.

Kelsey

William Carr
William Carr died 14 Jan 1843 (pension) or 14 Jan 1844 83y 8m 6d (marker) and was buried in the Baptist Church Cemetery or Wisner Park Cemetery and
later moved to Woodlawn Cemetery. He did not die 14 Jan 1814.  He was a private 4th regiment, Orange County, New York and was a substitute for
brothers, Robert and David. William was allowed a pension 4 Sept 1832 while a resident of Warwick, New York. Removed from Orange County in 1836 to
Southport, Chemung County, New York to be near his children. William was an 1840 pensioner in Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania in the
household of his son, Moses. Pension file 12445.

Joshua Cleeves
According to his death notice in the Elmira Gazette, December 26, 1840, Joshua Cleeves died on the 24th inst., in this village (Elmira) aged 57 years, 1 month and 24 days, not Nov 23, 1840 age 84 years. His wife Mary has a marker in Second Street Cemetery died Nov 19, 1841 54 years. It is assumed he was too young to have served in the Revolution and not the Joshua Cleeves who served at Brookhaven, Long Island and was among the refugees in 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut.

Jeremiah French
Elmira Gazette, Thursday, March 12, 1846 - Died in Erin on the 4th inst., Jeremiah French, in the 97th year of his age. Mr. French was in and fought through the Revolution War in the army of General Washington. He was in the battles of Monmouth, White Plains, Brandywine, and was in the army when Cornwallis surrendered.  He is not included in the Ridall list on the website.

James Green
From the Elmira Gazette, Thursday, September 18, 1845 - Died in Chemung, on Friday last, James Green, aged 95 years 5 months. The deceased was a Revolutionary Soldier, and we understand he was the last survivor of the Wyoming Massacre. Date of death not given in the Ridall work on website.

Dorastus Hatch
Elmira Gazette, Thursday, February 9, 1843 - DIED In this village, on Monday last, Lucy, wife of Dr. Dorastus Hatch, late of Richfield, Otsego co., aged 73 years. Elmira Gazette, Thursday, March 14, 1844 - DIED In this village, on the 12th inst., Doct. Dorastus Hatch, late of Otsego co., aged 84 years. The funeral takes places this morning at half past 10 o'clock at Trinity Church. Dates in the Ridall work on website are not correct.

Samuel Jenkins
Samuel Jenkins was born 1776 and it is doubtful that he served in the Revolution due to his age. I can find no record of service for him.
