• Notes

  Served in the Revolutionary War, enlisting in Captain Job Couch's company on 24 June 1776. This body was stationed during the summer and early fall of 1776 at Bergen Heighths and Paulus Hook, now Jersey City. In November it was transfered across the river to the defense of Fort Washington, NY, where with hundreds of others Thomas Eggleston was captured by British forces on 16 November 1776. He was a farmer and brickmaker as well as a noted fisherman. He and his sons owned the best fishing place on the Connecticut River, north of Middletown. It was situated on Deerfield lot, 4 miles north of Hartford, and is still known as "Eggleston's fishing place". He married twice.
