    BIOGRAPHY: David Waterbury, third child of Captain David and Mary (Bouton)
    Waterbury  was born in Stamford, Conn., 27 Dec 1735. His parents were
    residents of  that part of the old town of Stamford which is now known as
    Darien, Conn.  They had been married 22 Dec 1730. The family attended church
    at the New  Canaan Church upon the records of which appear the records of
    births and  marriages of many members of the family. David as a young man saw
    active  service in the French and Indian War, although with what units and in
    what  ranks can not at this time be definitely stated beyond possibility of 
    dispute. It is traditionally among his great grandchildren, however, that  he
    was a commissioned officer during this war and the sword which he  carried in
    the war is in the possession of his great grandson, Frederick  B. Waterbury of
    Chicago, Ill. David also served in the Revolution as a  captain in one of the
    companies of Colonel Henry Luddington's Regiment of  Dutchess County militia.
    About 1760 David near the time of his second  marriage is found living in the
    vicinity of Salem, Westchester, NY. It has  been suggested that he may have
    received a land grant there for services  rendered in the French and Indian war.
    At any rate the record of his  second marriage, and of the baptisms of most
    of his children by the second  marriage appear upon the records of the Church
    of Christ, Salem,  Westchester, NY during the next few succeeding years. Near
    the close of the  Revolution David ent further up the Hudson River and became
    one of the  earliest settlers in what is the modern town of Nassau, NY settling
    near  Central Nassau. He became one of the prominent men of the town and held 
    many town offices in early days as is revealed by extant records. Soon  after
    he took up his residence there his brother, Daniel and several of  the
    latter's sons as well as David's own sons and their families took up  their
    residence in the vicinity. David died 20 Jan 1808 and his remains  were
    interred in what is modernly known as the Central Nassau Cemetery.

    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.
