BENJAMIN INFORMATION

b.  6 Jun 1754 in Fitchburg, MA 

d. Abt 1802 in Fairfield, Herkimer Co., NY

"Benjamin DeWitt, served in the Revolutionary
War as a private, Capt Elias Hasbrouck's Company,
3rd New York Regiment, C. L., commanded by
Col. James Clinton.  The company muster roll
covering the period from June 28 to
September 28, 1775, dated at Camp Ticonderoga,
September 28, 1775, shows that he enlisted
August 1, and was sick at Albany.  He later
enlisted May 5, 1778, for a term of 9 months,
as a subsitute for George Sampson, and was
discharged February 16, 1779 as a private
in the Cols. Company, 2nd New York
Regiment, C. L., cmmanded by
Col. Philip Cortlandt."

Reference


*  The identity of Benjamin's parents is controversial.
Some claim that he is the first immigrant to this country,
while others claim that he is the son of a man with the
last name of Witt.  The Witt clan lived on this continent
as far back as the early 1600s.  If this is so, then it is puzzling
how my DeWitt clan can be related?  For further elaboration

The purpose of this entire Benjamin / Larkin / John / William DeWitt clan listing is to provide the
details of their clan because one of their ancestors Bernie DeWitt has
Y chromosome DNA that matches mine at 66 of 67 loci . 
At the 67th, there is only a difference of 1. 

These results suggest that Bernie and I share a common ancestor within 300 years.
These results were reported in October 2009.  Hopefully further investigations will lead us
to the identity of our mystery common ancestor. (More Info)
