DENNISON WHEDON
Soldier
of the Revolution
Died
Dec. 1827.
Aged 67 Y'rs.
He made two affidavits of his services in 1825, being then 65 years old. In 1775 he served for 8 months in Capt. Malachi Henry's Co., Col. David Brewer's Regt. of Mass. Line. In '76 he enlisted for one year in Capt. Park's Co., Col. Learned's Regt. The first enlistment was at Westfield and the second at Roxbury, Mass. He was discharged by Gen. Glover at East Chester, N. Y. He was a farmer, and had a wife and one son, Samuel. A biographical notice in Past and Present of Onondaga County says: "Denison served in the Revolutionary war, and Dr. [Geo. Denison] Whedon has to-day in his possession a seven dollar bill that was paid to his ancestor for service in the war. This bill is numbered 16,735, and was issued at Philadelphia, July 22, 1776. He also has a note for forty shillings, No. 3,376.. It was also printed at Philadelphia, Nov. 3, 1775. The patriot soldier was likewise given a farm at Camillus, as compensation for the aid which he rendered the colonists in their struggle for independence, and this tract of land has been the homestead of three generations of the family." Of course he had no grant of land.
