He was a soldier, Private, in the Revolutionary War. He was a member of Captain Townsend's company (Tourrandz Company) and Colonel Kilian Van Rensselaer's FourthRegiment (Schemerhorn's Company), NY State Militia.

The following statement is from the writing of Haight - - in Albany County, N. Y. in what is now North Nassau.
"Leasing from Stephen Van Rensselaer a considerable property some of which remains in the family to this day. He got this property under the leasing system which resulted in the famous Anti-rent wars in which his children were implicated, some on one side, some on the other. I have examined a mass of deeds and other papers of Jonathan third, and his sons, which amply evidence that they were a land-owning, land-loving people.

"This Jonathan had at least ten children of whom no mentions of any, but Hosea in his will. Hosea had probably received his portion of the estate before the making of that document. The quaint will, signed September 29, 1802, shortly before Jonathan's death,
leaves to the wife Lydia, among other things, 'my lame mare, with a good new saddle and bridle'. One wonders if she would have preferred a sound mare with an old saddle.
The year before he died, Jonathan purchased land in Oswego County, N. Y., for his sons Erastus and John, who soon removed thither as did their sister Lydia, wife of John Clemons. Other children remained for some years longer in Nassau. Gradually Stephen and Hosea bought out the shares of their brothers and sister. There is an old survey map still in existence showing the
property in this period before 1820. One half is marked off to Stephen and one half to Hosea. Finally Stephen too sold to Hosea who then remained in sole possession.
