Hewitt, Randall (b. 28 JUN 1758, d. 2 MAY 1850)

Note: Randall and his brother John enlisted as privates during the Revolutionary War in Capt. John Steven's co., Col. Burrell's regt. of the Conn. Line. They left Canaan on 2 Mar 1776 and marched to Lower Canada to reinforce General Montgomery's troops in Quebec. At a place called Cedars, the brothers were captured by a party of British and Indians on 19 May 1776. John was released 9 days later but Randall was detained as a prisoner in Canada for over 5 years. He was recaptured by an Oneida scout while on an errand in the woods and taken to Albany, NY. There he was put in prison until his father secured his release in July 1781, by order of Governor George Clinton.
Randall applied for a government pension on 3 Jun 1823 while living at Italy, Yates Co., NY (Rev. War Pension #S43664). At that time, his wife Experience and the 2 youngest sons, Nelson, age 16, and Christopher, age 14, were still living at home. Randall stated on his application that he was in dire straits and unable to do heavy labor due to rheumatism in his back. His only personal property, wearing apparel, bedding, a few utensils and a cow, were valued at $17. The pension was granted at the rate of $8 per month for the remainder of his life.
During the years Randall was captive, his parents and brothers had moved from Canaan, Conn. to the Stillwater area north of Albany, NY. Randall joined them and a few years later married Experience Hewitt. The resided in Stillwater, Saratoga Co. until 1796 when they moved to Oppenheim, Montgomery Co. (now Fulton Co.) NY. By 1820, the family was living in Geneseo, Ontario Co., NY, and a short time later, they resided in Italy, Yates Co., NY. They resettled before 1840, in Seneca Falls, Seneca Co., NY and remained there.
Randall died intestate. In 1850, the court appointed his son, Silas Hewitt, to administer the estate (Seneca Co. Probate Records, Book A3, p. 543). The 9 youngest children survived their father and were mentioned, with their locations, in the distribution of Randall's estate in 1850.
Note: Randall and Experience may have had another daughter, Betsey, b. 7 Nov. 1789 who married William Wright, 6 Sep 1804 in Oppenheim. NY, and died before 1850 (Query to National Archives requesting information on Richard or Randall Hewitt, included in the Revolutionary War Pension File on Randall Hewitt, #S43664). Nothing further is known.
