BIOGRAPHY: Daniel Waterbury, the third son and sixth child of David and Mary
(Bouton) Waterbury was born 15 Feb. 1742, within the confines of the old town
of Stanford, Conn., which originally embraced what are now several other
Connecticut towns and also the towns Bedford and Pound Ridge now by a shifting
of boundary lines which took place before the Revolutionary War located in the
county of Westchester, NY. All this territory is contiguous and even in early
days was closely knit together by a system of roadways and economic interests
of the day. Whether or not David and Mary (Bouton) Waterbury had lived in the
Westchester County territory or merely in proximity thereto while residing in
the neighboring town of Norwalk, Conn. is not definitely known with the
probabilities favoring the latter conclusion. As a boy he attended church with
his parents at the New Canaan Church, where they held membership. As early as
1756, at any rate, the existing records disclose that David (brother), was
living sufficiently near to what is now Salem, Westchester, NY, so that he
elected to unite with Church of Christ there (Records of Church of Christ,
Salem, Westchester, NY). Less than five years later, Daniel was living in the
vicinity as is evidenced by the record of his marriage 19 Mar 1761, to Ann or
Anna Bouton which appears upon the records of the Church of Christ, Salem, as
David (brother) and Daniel and several other families of Waterburys resident
in the vicinity soon begin appearing upon the records of the same church.
Daniel Waterbury was Ensign in a company of Minute Men enrolled in Westchester
County at the opening of the Revolution. Members of these units were men who
stood pledged to leave their homes and work on an instant's notice whenever
their country's call for service came. Later he was made first a second
lieutenant and later a first lieutenant. He served in the Third Regiment of
Westchester County Militia under Col. Pierre Van Cortlandt. Lieutenant Daniel
Waterbury's elder brother , Captain David Waterbury had gone to the vicinity
of modern Nassau, NY (Stephantown) about the time of the close of the
Revolution and there became one of the pioneer permanent settlers of the
region and one of its foremost men and early town officers. Apparently either
word he brought
back or sent back, coupled with other considerations, determined Lieutenant
Danial Waterbury and some of his sons to leave Westchester County region where
they have been residing and to remove to the same locality. The change seems
to have been made sometime between 1787 and 1789 and by 1790 most of Daniel's
family were resident in that vicinity with the exception of his son, John who
remained in Pound Ridge. In Rensselaerwick where Daniel and several of his
sons and daughters settled upon removing from Westchester County, the family
resided near the modern town of Schdoac, a short distance from the modern
Central Nassau, where Daniel's brother David had been one of the first
settlers. Daniel's farm was only about 10 miles from the present city of
Troy, NY. He died there 15 Mar 1798. His body was buried on the farm.

DEATH:
Grace A. Waterbury and Edwin M. Waterbury, Jonathan Waterbury Genealogy (Oswego, New York: Palladium-Times, Inc., 1930)

BIOGRAPHY: His boyhood and young manhood were passed in Salem, Westchester,
NY, the period of his teens undoubtedly having seen stirring ones in the
vicinity where he resided which was the scene itself of one raid (Tarlton's
against Pound Ridge) and which must have witnessed the constant passing and
repassing of troops connected with various movements of Washington's army for
the defense of and against New York during the American Revolution.

One of the first movements of militia from a sister colony through the
vicinity where he resided was led by his cousin, Col. David Waterbury of
Stamford, Conn., who came with troops to disarm Tories in the vicinity at the
direction of Major General Lee, and who also led his men through Westchester
County early 1n 1776, when his regiment of Connecticut troops was the first
to enter New York city in connection with the preparation for defense of that
city.

Jonathan himself probably saw no enlisted service in the Revolution despite
the fact some of his descendants have erroneously believed that he did and a
few of them have succeeded in gaining admission to the Daughters of the
American Revolution upon the mistaken representation that he did. The
Jonathan Waterbury whose service record has been appropriated and transferred
to this Jonathan served in Col. Roger Enos Regiment, Captain Reuben
Scofield's Company of Connecticut troops in 1777, his period of enlistment
having been from 24 Jun. to 1 Jan. Now if Jonathan Waterbury is here
represented, he is seen doing a six months tour of duty in the army at 11
years of age. That in itself seems highly improbable. It is still more
improbable that when, a legal resident of New York, he would have been
permitted at that age to serve with the troops of another colony when his
father and brothers were in active service in their home colony. When near
the close of the Revolution, Jonathan would have been nearing an age when he
might have seen service the active theater of the war had largely shifted to
Southland so that he probably experienced no impelling urge for enlistment.

As a still further and seemingly conclusive argument against any belief that
Jonathan Waterbury saw service at any time in the Revolutionary army is the
fact that his granddaughter, Miss Jennette Waterbury of Ypsilanti, Michigan,
with whose family Jonathan's widow resided until her death in 1857 when
Jennette herself was a girl in teens so that she remembers her grandmother
well, knows nothing of service by Jonathan during the Revolution so that when
she herself joined the Daughters of the American Revolution a number of years
ago, she did so solely upon the strength of the service of her maternal
grandfather, Lieutenant Travis.
