7th Connecticut Infantry-- Part 4: Captain Stephen Hall's Company
From Archives, rootsweb.
This information applies to Captain Hall's company.
Captain Stephen Hall; January 10, 1777: 4 sergeants; 4 corporals; 2 musicians (I would think Amos Hall was one of these two); 61 privates.
During the course of their service in the American Revolution 11 died, 8 deserted and 1 was a prisoner.
Where the company enlisted from: 54 unknown, 10 from Guilford (one of these likely Amos Hall), 6 from Walling and one each from Glastonburg and New Milford.

7th Connecticut Infantry-- Part 3: At Valley Forge in the Revolution
I did some more research on the 7th Connecticut, trying to find information on Amos Hall or his father.
From Valley Forge Legacy: The Muster Roll Project.
The 7th Connecticut Regiment was organized January 1777 at New Medford, Connecticut, with men coming from Litchfield, Fairfield, New Haven and New London counties.
The regiment entered Valley Forge with 536 men, 358 fit for duty.
The 7th left Valley Forge with the 1st Connecticut Regiment and had 869 men, 551 fit for duty. (I am assuming this meant that it was put in with the 1st Connecticut.
Before Valley Forge, the 7th Connecticut had participated in the defense of Philadelphia.
The 7th was commanded by Col. Heman Swift. Lt.Col. was Josiah Starr and major was John Sedwick.
There were eight companies and one was commanded by Captain Stephen Hall.

7th Connecticut Infantry-- Part 1: American Revolution
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.
