  • Notes 
    • Based on marriage records showing that Amasa Smead and Sarah Deane married in Greenfield, MA on 5 Aug 1779, we can place Amasa Smead in the area at that time.

      The following Revolutionaory War record concerning Amasa Greenfield Smead was found.

      From: Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution, 17 Vols., volume 14, page 323

      "Smead, Amasa, Greenfield. Private, Capt. Agrippa Wells's co. of Minute-men, Col. Samuel Williams's regt., which marched April 20, 1775, in response to the alarm of April 19, 1775; left place of rendezvous May 6, 1775, and returned home; service, 15 days; also, Capt. Agrippa Wells's co., Col. Porter's regt.; marched from home July 9, 1777; enlisted July 10, 1777; discharged Aug. 12, 1777; service, 38 days, including travel (80 miles) home; company marched to reinforce Northern army after the evacuation of Ticonderoga."

      The following record may have been for a brother of Amasa Smead. Note that they have similar dates of service (this record is on the same page as the above record).

      "Smead, Ebenezer. Corporal, Capt. Agrippa Wells's co., Col. Porter's regt.; marched from home July 9, 1777; enlisted July 10, 1777; discharged Aug. 12, 1777; service, 38 days, including travel (80 miles) home; company marched to reinforce Northern army after the evacuation of Ticonderoga; roll sworn to at Deerfield; also, Private, Capt. James Walsworth's co., Col. Elisha Porter's (Hampshire Co.) regt.; enlisted July 22, 1779; discharged Aug. 27, 1779; service, 1 mo. 11 days, at New London, Conn., including 6 days (113 miles) travel home; roll sworn to at Deerfield."
