Research Notes:
Soldier in the Revolution of 1776: John Harmon, captain, of Suffield [Ref: DAR Patriot Index, HarmanJW HARMAN p33]

Captain of Wolcott's Connecticut Regiment, December 1775, to March 1776; Captain of Mott's Connecticut State Regiment, June to December 1776; Captain 4th Connecticut, January 1 1777; resigned Jan 12 1780 [Ref: Heitman RevArmy p274]

Captain of Eighth Company, Col Wolcott's Regiment, State Regiment at Boston Jan-March 1776. During the reorganization of the Continental force before Boston, Dec '75-Feb '76, when the soldiers were coming and going, Washington called for regiments from the New England States to guard the lines at various points until the new army had been well established. Connecticut sent three regiments under Colonel James Wadsworth, Erastus Wolcott, and John Douglass. They reached Boston toward the end of January and remained about six weeks. The rolls of Col. Wolcott's regiment alone are on file. It formed a part of the detachment from the army that occupied Boston after the enemy evacuated. [Ref: Connecticut Assembly p381]
