He lived in Amwell/Ringoes area in midst of the atrocities and near the ambush killing of British officer Geary.

The 3rd show also hit home for me since I have another 5th gr grandfather who was enlisted in a Mass. Colonial regiment that was in Boston through March 1776, then part of the northern army at Ticonderoga in April 1776 and then West Point before joining with the regular Colonial army in November moving south for the crossing of the Delaware where his regiment joined Gen. Sullivan's west flank to Trenton.

Another 5th gr grandfather was a Quaker living in Rhode Island who never enlisted but mentioned in his diary that he saw George Washington ride by his home and I found documentation that this ancestor was paid for loaning out 2 enslaved men that he owned to the Colonial army. That ancestor's Quakers descendants became prominent NY abolitionists affiliated with Frederick Douglass.
