We are trying to create a list of men who served in the Militia during the Revolutionary War.  If you know someone who served, please add their name to the list. If you know more about any of them, if would be a fitting tribute to them if you would also create a biography of them. Until then, the only thing we can share with viewers of this page is their name.

Adam St. John, of Scottish origin, came from Old Paltz to Westerlo in 1790 and settled at Lamb's Corners, having originally come with the Huguenots from Holland. He and four of his brothers were soldiers in the Revolutionary war, and were at Yorktown at the surrender of Cornwallis. Many of their descendants still reside in the town.
