Jeduthan signed the Patriot Protest against British aggression at Amenia Precinct in 1775. In 1776, he enlisted in the Revolutionary Army in Capt. Wheeler's Co. in Col. Hopkin's sixth regiment of Dutchess County, New York, becoming a sergeant. He was honorably noticed for bravery at the battle near Fort Independence (near Peekskill, N.Y.) in 1777.
After the war, Jeduthan became prominent as an Elder and Baptist preacher, beginning his ministry at Seekonk, Massachusetts in 1785. About 1796, he removed to Egremont and in 1806, he moved on to Greene, Chenango County, New York and located on a farm owned by Philo Webb. In Greene, he began gathering together a church which became the 2nd Baptist Church of Greene. In 1823, he moved to Concord, Erie County, Pennsylvania, bringing his grown up children with him and many others who soon followed him and the settlement they made was called "Grays". He continued his labors there as a pioneer preacher and was actively engaged until he died, 22 miles from home in Sugar Grove, Warren County, PA.
