Notes

Place of birth is unknown.
Enlisted 8 Mar 1777 at Worthington, Massachusetts into the 1st Company of the 6th Regiment of the Masachusetts line.
Was in the engagement at the taking of British General Burgoyne and his army under under General Gates at Saratoga.
Discharged 8 March 1780 at The Highlands in New York.
1790 in Salem, New York.
1800 Census in Argyle, New York.
in the 1800 census in Bolton is his son Benajah living next door to Justice Bennett, probably also his son.
1800 (probably his son) Assessed for 65 acres in Bolton, New York.
1810 census in Argyle, New York 20 apr 1819 Pension application. Living in Bolton. He was a shoemaker by trade, but as he was almost blind, no family except himself, he could not do much of his trade. He did not own real estate. He stated he was 69 years old. On 12 Sep 1820 he says age 72 and wife age 66.
Wife's name is unknown,
Mail notification in 1820 was being sent toSeth E Baldwin in Caldwell. Seth E Baldwin also signed the affidavit as a Notary Public. I did find a Seth Baldwin on the 1820 Caldwell census, age 26-45 (living 2 houses from Daniel Shaw).
1820 & 1830 census in Bolton are probably his son, Benajah Jr. The ages given do not align with Benajah's advanced age.
None of his known children or Seth Baldwin have a person of his age in their household.
There is a marriage record dated 10/1/1769 in Lebanon, Connecticut for Benajah Bennett and Zerviah Crane. However, we have no record that Benajah was ever in Connecticut. The Benajah Bennett who joined the Connecticut militia in Lebanon married Sarah Gilbert and later Mary.
