from "The Platt Lineage: A Genealogical Research and Record" by George Lewis Platt: "Nathaniel Platt, the second of the brothers of Plattsburg, a son of Zephaniah, of Long Island, was born in 1741. He married Phebe, daughter of Richard Smith, of Smithtown, L. I., November 10, 1766. At the breaking out of the Revolution, he, Nathaniel Platt, is credited with having raised the first company of troops on the island. He was attached to General Woodhull's brigade in the battle of Long Island. He was very active as a partisan officer in preventing Tory risings in Suffolk County, until finally the garrisoning of Setauket and other places, and the arrival of the British fleet in Lloyd's harbor, obliged him and many others to cross the sound into Connecticut. He was afterwards transferred to the commissary department, and was quite efficient in getting both supplies and recruits for Washington's army on the line of the Hudson River. His sword, bearing the name of '" Nathaniel Platt, 1776," is in the possession of his grandson, N. P. Bailey, Esq., of New York. Captain Piatt died at Plattsburg, 1816. His children were : George W., Isaac S., Hannah, Phebe, and Maria Platt."
