Note: !Samuel Barrett was born at the Broad Brook homestead. He was a farmer and must have helped at the mill. In Feb 1776, at 21 years of age, he enlisted for 6 weeks in the Westchester County Militia under Capt Hezekiah Gray, under Col Thomas Thomas. In
July 1776 he volunteered for 4 months and served under his cousin, Capt Marcus Moseman, still under Capt Thomas Thomas. They were on the Hudson River opposite Fort Montgomery when it was captured on 6 Oct 1777. He continued as a guard and on patrol
until Nov 1780 (was he guarding Bedford when it was burned by the British on 11 Jul 1779?). Samuel served with his brothers Marcus and Reuben, cousins Abraham and Bethuel, and nephew Marcus Jr. His brother Jesse joined the Navy and never returned. In
December 1776 Capt Hezekiah Gray died and left his widow and four small children. Abigail Gray lived and ran a tavern on Broad Brook Road, on the north side and east of Broad Brook, to support her children. This house was destroyed in July 1967 when
Route 684 was built. Samuel was on the Bedford Tax list of 1779 and Bedford Census of 1790 through 1840. Samuel's cello is now in the Old Bedford Court House Museum. With this cello he lead the choir. In October 1832 Samuel applied for his pension
papers, which he received, #14068(12052?). After Abigail's death in 1805, Samuel went to live with his son, Joseph, until his death on 10 Dec 1844, at the age of 89 years, 8 months. Samuel was on the original 1788 list of plot owners for the Buxton
Cemetery, which was not far from his home. He and Abigail, Abigail's son Hezekiah Gray, Jr., three of their sons and their families, are all buried in Buxton Cemetery. Samuel and Abigail are under a huge pine tree in plot A29.
The following description of Samuel Barrett's service in the Revolutionary War was apparently excerpted from his pension application of October 1832: In October 1832, he states that he was born April 4, 1755, in Bedford, Westchester County, New
York, in which place he continuously resided. He enlisted in February 1776 with Capt. Hezekiah Gray, whose Company marched to York Island and was absent six weeks. In July 1776, he volunteered for four months in the Militia Company of Capt. Hezekiah
Gray, which was stationed on the lines in Westchester County, for guard duty and was discharged at North Castle, near the Mills. In the same year he again volunteered in the Militia Company commanded by Capt. Marcus Moseman, in the Regiment of Colonel
Thomas Thomas, which marched to the Hudson River nearly opposite Fort Montgomery at the time the Fort was captured (Oct. 6, 1777). From thence marched through Westchester County, to what was called Harrison purchase, near East River. He was
discharged in the following November.
About May 1, 1779, he reenlisted under Capt. Marcus Moseman, in Col. Thomas Thomas' regiment which was stationed to guard the lives in Westchester County. In July the British advanced to Bedford, burnt the Village as had been done with houses via the
way to the place. In a few weeks therafter as he thinks, the enemy advanced as far north as "Crompond", having captured about 40 of the Militia Guard as prisoners, and the troop to which Barrett was attached, attacked them at Croton River bridge,
taking prisoners and four of their horsemen. They also made a second attack upon the enemies guard, capturing one of them.
Barrett continued on duty alternately as guard and patrolling to which the movements of the British and to repel incursion by them (their lines extending to near the west part of Bedford) until November 1780.
At daylight on one occasion a party of the enemy was discovered driving the cattle and sheep from Bedford toward New York City and alarm guns started the inhabitants and soldiers in pursuit, of which Barrett was one. Overtaking the plunderers the
whole drove was recaptured at which instant Lt. James of Col. Elisha Sheldon's Light Dragoons assumed the command and made a second charge upon the enemy and drove them into their encampments where the Americans were nearly or quite surrounded and in
escaping lost five of their numbers as prisoners and Lt. James severly wounded.
No date is given for the incident in Barrett's service, but the above Lt. must be Elijah James who was promoted from Cornet to Lt. on Nov. 24, 1779, and the incident occured before November 1779 in all probability.
Barrett says that after Nov. 1780 he was called upon several times on alarms during the remainder of the War, but mentions no time or place of service.
Abraham Barrett, living Sep. 1832, in Bedford, aged 81 years, was witness to the service of Samuel.

Note: !David Waterbury, Jr.(4) was commissioned Lieutenant in the First Company in
Stamford and became Captain in October 1750. In 1747 he served on the School
Committee in his district. David saw his sons serve in the Revolutionary War.
One of his cousins, David Waterbury, brother of Nathaniel, served on the
Loyalist side and moved on to St. John, New Brunswick. Another cousin, General
David Waterbury, was Commander from 1775-1776 and aided in the defense of New
York, second in command under General Arnold. He was captured on Lake Champlain
but was exchanged and continued his service.

Note: !Joseph Barrett(6) was born 19 Sep 1779, the same summer that the British
burned Bedford; however, Broad Brook Road is northeast of the center of Bedford
and Abigail must have seen the fire and smoke but little Joe was alright.
Joseph and Deborah St John began housekeeping in a house east of his parents,
where their daughter Asenth was born. In 1802, while Abigail was in ill
health, they moved into the Barrett Homestead near the brook. Their other 10
children were born there. Joseph was a farmer, and Bedford Assessments list
him as the owner of 115 acres in 1837, worth $2850.00 and personal worth of
$460.00. He was in the Census in Bedford 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850
and 1860 as farmer. Bedford Historical Records show him: highway assessment,
poormaster, highway commissioner, fence viewer, pathmaster and tax roll.
Joseph died in the house in which he was born at the age of 83 years 6 months.
