General Notes: Husband - Joseph Riddle


He resided in Monson, Hampden County, Massachusetts, until 1808, when he emigrated to the "Holland Purchase" in the state of New York, where he settled as a farmer and resided during the remainder of his lifetime. In the summer of 1775 he enlisted under Captain Isaac Cotton, in Colonel David Brewster's regiment. In 1776 he enlisted under Captain Joseph Munger, in the regiment of Colonel Robert I. Woodbridge, "Massachusetts Line." July 1, 1777, he entered the service for three years under Captain Caleb Keen, and Colonel William Shepherd, of the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment, General Glover's brigade, as drum-major; and in July, 1780, was discharged by Captain Simon Larned, who was in command of the regiment at "Robertson Farms," near West Point. He was in a short tour in the militia and at the surrender of Burgoyne, but was not in the decisive battle preceding that event, in consequence of guarding the road to Albany. He was in the battle of Monmouth, New Jersey, June 28, 1778, and with General Sullivan, in Rhode Island, in August, 1778.
