Samuel H. parsons, Connecticut troops, as a private; was discharged December 10, 1775; enlisted again in Durkees Regiment; was taken prisoner November 16, 1776, on the surrender of Fort Washington, New York Island, with 2818 other soldiers, under ?Magan. After his return home he enlisted a third tie in the 5th Company of the 4th Battalion of State troops, was made ensign and served under Gen. Spencer in Rhode Island. He continued in the Army until near the close of the war." "In the settlement of his estate his heirs, through the mismanagement and bad advise of the administrator, Amos Denison, Esq., became involved in a long and expensive lawsuit, which so wasted the fine estate that nothing remained to the family but the widows dower.
