He is my 7th great grandfather. I know he served in French & Indian War but understand he also provided service in American Revolution - just do not know what kind of service - can anyone help? I want to submit his name to S.A.R. to honor him.

I descend through his daughter, Lydia who married Abraham Wilcox, who I am also attempting to get proof of Rev War service.
