I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON SAMUEL BANTA (1739), SON OF SEBA BANTA AND MARGRIETE DEMAREST.SAMUEL MARRIED EVAETJE BERDAN ON MAY 4, 1758. SAMUEL IS DESIGNATED AS TO DYING IN 1776. I AM WONDRING IF HE WAS PART OF THE NJ MILITIA OR IF HE DIED DUE TO PARTICIPATION IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION .
IN THE BOOK," THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR IN BERGEN COUNTY, EDITED BY CAROL KARELS, IT IS NOTED ON PAGE 73 THAT SERGEANT SAMUEL BANTA WAS "SERVERELY WOUNDED WHILE PERFORMING HIS DUTIES". I WONDER IF THERE IS ANY INFORMATION ON HIS SPOUSE OR PARENTS.
