Mr. Olmsted enlisted Oct. 15, 1780, at Williamstown, Mass., in Capt.
Sylvanus Wilcox's Co., Col. John Ashley's Regt., Berkshire County Militia.
The records show but two days' service, but it is certain that he served longer.
He gave his flint lock musket to his grandson, Jeremiah Olmsted (now living,
1912) who kept it many years and is certain that his grandfather saw considerable
service.
Jeremiah and his brother Gideon removed from Berkshire County,
Mass., to the present town of Hope, Hamilton County, N. Y., then a part of
Montgomery County, about 1790. French's Gazeteer of the State of N. Y.,
1860, says they were the first settlers in that town. Lucinda Olmsted was
the first child born in that town.
He removed with the family of his son Isaac to Spafford, Onandaga County,
N. Y., before 1840.
