In the last few posts, I mentioned that Amos Hall was a captain in the 7th Connecticut Infantry during the American Revolution and that he entered the military as a fifer in his father's regiment. I felt that had Amos hall been born as listed in 1761, that would have made him quite young to be a captain during the Revolutionary War.
I did a little more research on this regiment.
Wikipedia
The 7th Connecticut Infantry was raised September 16, 1776 at New Milford, Connecticut. It saw action at the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth.
It was merged with the 5th Connecticut on January 1, 1781, at West Point, New York and disbanded November 15, 1783.
I found no mention of a Captain Amos Hall in the unit.
But, in the last post I mentioned that he had been a fifer in his fathers's regiment and that was the 7th Connecticut. And, his father was Stephen Hall and rose to the rank of captain in it.
