General Notes: Husband - John Partridge Bissell

---

He was but nineteen years old when he answered the Lexington Alarm of April 19, 1775, and marched with Captain James Clarke's company. He is credited with eighteen days service at this time (see report of adjutant-general of Connecticut). He again enlisted and served as a private in one of the two Connecticut militia regiments of Arnold's division. He was in service from August 25 to October 8, 1777. These two regiments of Poor's brigade lost very heavily at the battle of Stillwater, fought September 19, 1777. It is likely that he saw other military service, but it is difficult to separate his service from that of others of his family of the same name who served. He was by occupation a civil engineer and after the War for Independence was fought and won, he was sent out by the Connecticut Land Company to survey their lands in the Western Reserve. He left Lebanon, Connecticut, April 25, 1800, and removed to Coitsville, Ohio. In 1805 he settled at Youngstown, Ohio, where he later died. He represented Trumbull county in the Ohio legislature in 1806.
