Benjamin Ishmael abt 1736 Pennsylvania Abt 1778 Pennsylvania 10 Jul 1822 ", NicholasCounty, Kentucky" "Farmer, Soldier, and Patriarch of the ""ISHMAEL” family in the United States Benjamin Ishmael was born in the colony, Pennsylvania in 1736. First known records found on Benjamin Ishmael are the Military records on file in the State Historical Commision of Pennsylvania, However the most informative record is Benjamin's own Pension application which he filed in 1818. This pension paper, coupled with information found in a book by John B. B. Trussell, Jr, “The Pennsylvania Line, Regimental Organizations, 1776-1783"",1977, makes a good story for the life and times of our Ancestor. Benjamin enlisted into Company ""A"", under the command of Captain Abraham Smith at Conecocheaque Settlement in Cumberland County.

!This company was part of the 6th Pennsylvania Battalion raised by Colonel William Irvine. This Battalion authorized on January 4th, 1776. The initial strength of the 6th was 710 men. The uniform of the Battalion was a blue coat and breeches, the coat ""turned up"" with red, and a small round hat, bound with braid or tape, Most of the men were from Cumberland County, but two companies were from York County. This Battalion, with many others were involved in the fiasco at Three Rivers, Canada. Most of the Battalion was captured, with the notable except of Company ""A"", which escaped with the help of 10 riflemen of Captain John Lacey's Company ""C', 4th Pennsylvania Battalion. This venture started after the 6th Battalion Ms mustered into service at Carlisle, receiving orders on March 14, 1776 to join forces at New York City, and by April 24th, the entire Battalion had arrived as ordered. Then on April 26th, it and three companies of the 4th Pennsylvania were ordered to go to Albany and join in an attach into Canada. The Battalion reached Albany on May 10th. Three days later it departed under the control of Brig. Gen. John Sullivan. It passed Lake George and reached Chambly on June 3rd, It joined the main army at Sorel the next day, On June 5th, under the over all control of Brig. Gen. Wm Thompson, it was sent to Nicolette to reinforce troops under Col. Athur St. Clair. On June 9th, this force engaged the British at Three Rivers. 78 members of the 6th Battalion were killed or captured. After this defeat, Company A"", aided by the ten riflemen of Captain Lacey's unit, returned to Sorel. The survivors of the 6th, with the remaining American forces fell back to Isle Awe Noix. While there, some members decided to go fishing, These men were attached by a group of Indians. Two of the enlisted men were killed and scapled. After this the American's retreated to Crown Point, which it reached by July 1st, The troops of the 6th Battalion remained here as the other units moved to Ticonderoga, The 6th Battalion stayed at Crown Point for 39 months forming an outpost, having occasional brushes with the enemy. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Hartely was in command since Three Rivers, where Colonel Irvine had been captured, His orders were to hold unless a major attack was launched against his forces, then retreat, On October 14th, the main British army approached, so he set fire to the houses in the vicinity and fell back to Ticonderoga. The Battalion stayed here until the enlistments of the men ran out, returning to Carlisle, being mustered out March 15, 1777.

! Benjamin returned home, where he worked until about one year later. And. Then joined Colonel Buford's Regiment. This was about 1778, and he was transfered to Captain Bentalou's Company of Count Casimir Pulaski command. During this service, Benjamin was in the Battle of Eggharhour, New Jersey. After a little more than one year, he was discharged at Williamsburg, Virginia.

! Once more returning home, he worked at farming. Then in 1780 he joined the Militia in Cumberland County. He was assigned to Captain Daniel C Lapsadle 's 1st Battalion as a Private, He was assigned from Washington Township, Cumberland County in the Militia, and was found on the tax records in the same area for 1780, He was listed on the tax records as a Freeman. On the 1783 tax records for the same location, he was listed as a Freeholder, owning a horse and a cow, Later he moved to Bedford County.

! In Talley's books, a reference is made to Benjamin Ishmael as receiving a land grant of 160 acres from Virginia for services rendered in the Revolution.


! Marriage probably took place after 1780 in Cumberland, PA tax list where Benjamin is listed as ""freeman"" a term used for unmarried men over the age of 21 who held no taxable items. It could also apply to widowers. He is not on the 1781-82 tax list and would not be if married and held no taxible items.

!A call to duty order for the first Battalion, Cumberland County Malitia, dated March 1781, says he moved to Bedford County, PA, but he is on the 1783 Cumberland County tax rolls as a freeholder owning a cow.
This term was used for those holding clear title to land, but was often incorrectly applied to those owning only livestock.

!Will recorded in Will Book B, page 148, Nicholas Co. KY will dated 13 November 1813, and filed November 1822 Court Term.

Thomas Ishmael Abt 1737 ",Washington County, Pennsylvania" between 1810/1820 "Greene County, Tennessee" "Name: Thomas Ishmael
Rank/Yr. Svc.: Private / 1781-1782
Commander: Colonel William Crawford
Archive Location: 3-23-214

Thomas Ishmael, was given his Revolutionary Land Grant in Greene County, it was then considered Western North Carolina. That county was later changed to the State of Franklin, and then changed to Tennessee. So, if anyone gets confused by the whole idea of someone from that time frame being from North Carolina, it could be what we know as Tennessee.

He served in the Revolutionary War with the Washington
County Rangers, which was then claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The Rangers were considered a part of Virginia and not Pennsylvania, so there are some differing records about him. It also explains why Benjamin and Thomas were discharged from the War in Virginia." Sonofishmael@earthlink.net

Adams Family of Massachusetts "THE ADAMS FAMILY OF MASSACHUSETTS
Compiled by: Gary Posson Glynn

The Adams Family of Massachusetts is perhaps one of the most distinguished planter families to arrive from England in the early 17th century. Through a compilation of reference material from the early 1600's to the American Revolution, few families can attribute two Presidents, two signers of the Declaration of Independence, eminent statesmen, soldiers and founders of numerous Massachusetts townships. This five hundred and thirty-five page manuscript deals with the early immigrant ancestors of George, Henry (including Mayflower and Presidential lineage), Jeremy, John, Richard, Robert, Roger and William Adams.

Their intermarriage with other Planter Families creates an interesting background to the development of early Massachusetts. In addition, this manuscript includes excerpts of hundreds of allied families with special attention to the following: Butterfield, Craft, Daniels, Goodridge, Longfellow, Morse, Paine, Partridge, Penniman, Rockwood, Rockett, Sewall, Squire, Vassall and Woods. Additional information on related families is contained throughout this compilation.

She and Frances had married soon after his return from the war and were true pioneers, moving from Pennsylvania into northwestern Ohio, at that time a wilderness. Mrs. Mary M.

Francis, whose name was Germanicized to Franz Dido and later to Francis Ditto, was born along with a twin brother, Jacob, in 1758 (?). Their parents died when they were young. During the winter of 1777-78, the twins were recruited for service in the Continental Army with a number of false promises. When they arrived at Valley Forge and saw the conditions, Jacob left, but Francis remained, serving under Captain Jacob Storey. He met both General Washington and Lafayette. He fought in the Battle of Monmouth and was taken prisoner at Newark and imprisoned in a sugar house in New York City. After a failed escape attempt, he was exchanged and rejoined the army. He injured his hip when a baggage wagon upset, an injury that would plague him the rest of his life. He claims to have been a witness (not a participant) to the mutiny against General Wayne. He was literate and spoke Pennsylvania Dutch. He was an accomplished hunter and trapper and continued in those occupations throughout most of his life. He was granted his pension in 1833 and died at the ripe old age of 83. " paulajo2@msn.com "National Archives, Index of Rev.
