The quotation, evidently from the Gallia Ohio history (of which I do not have a copy), says that B. Allison was in the Orange County NY Milita, under Col. Oliver Spencer. Wikipedia says Spencer was a Col. in the NJ Militia, not NY. "New York in the Revolution" (on-line) -- go to "Bounty Lands, Orange" -- puts Benjamin Allison in the Orange County 2nd Regiment.
