Asa Cottrell was probably born in Stonington in 1746. In his Revolutionary War pension file #S 29087, Asa makes a declaration to receive pension benefits enacted by Congress, June 7, 1832. The date of his testimony is 20 August 1832; he is 86 years old "born as he supposes in Stonington in Connecticut in the year 1746 but has no record of his age except his family record." In that document, he notes that he resided in Worthington during the Revolutionary War and continued to live there for the remainder of his life.
