When the Revolutionary War started in 1775, Uriah was 181/2 years old. in working with old records and Lucretia's pension application, we have concluded he signed up as a Continental soldier in Windham County in a Connecticut Unit on 1 May 1775. His major was John Durkee of Norwich. Uriah's first big battle was Bunker Hill on 17 June 1775, where he served under General Putnam.

Grandfather 8th generation: Moses QUIMBY - fought in the famous battle of Bunker Hill, and was wounded there, and later received a pension because of service. Pension was to have started in 1832 and lasted for the last 8 years of his life.

Grandfather 9th generation: Abraham LUCAS - was a Revolutionary War soldier and applied for a pension but not successfully. He had no education, could not read or write and that for this reason was unable to recollect names and dates and was unable to substantiate his service sufficiently to obtain a pension.

Pension application on file in the National Archives:
On the seventh day of March eighteen hundred and thirty six, personally appeared in open court before the county commissioners court in and for the County and State aforesaid, now sitting Abram Lucas of Salt Creek in the County of Sangamon and state aforesaid, aged eighty years, being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed under the following named officers and served as now stated, that during the War of the Revolution (the year he cannot state) he volunteered in the company commanded by Capt. Brinton, which company was attached to the army commanded by General McIntosh., and as he now recollects to the regiment commanded by a son of General McIntosh. In the Red Stone country on the waters of the Monongahela River in the western part of the State of Pennsylvania -- That he was then living on the waters of the Monongahela and he supposed the country was not laid off into counties -- This was in the latter part of the fall or beginning of winter -- After he volunteered they marched and helped build Fort McIntosh on the Little Beaver Creek on the west side of the service aforesaid the orderly sergeant Jonathan Harnett (or Hamett) was removed by Capt. Brinton and his dependent (?) appointed in his stead?
