He was a soldier in the Revolution, and is undoubtedly the Jesse Waldo who enlisted, July 5, 1780, as private in the 1st Connecticut regiment.5 No discharge is recorded.
Martha, widow of Jesse Waldo, made application for a pension on June 4, 1839, at which time she was seventy years old and residing at Prattsburgh. Her pension was allowed, at the rate of $31.11 per annum, to commence Mch. 4, 1836. Her application shows that her husband enlisted in the spring of 1777 and "returned home late that season; that he served in the Connecticut State troops, in Capt. Dana's company, in the regiment commanded by Col. Ely. That in the spring of 1780, as she believes, he enlisted and served as a private soldier in the American army seven months but she does not know under what officers he served; has often heard him speak of Captain Shumway and thinks he was his captain." He resided in Mansfield, when he entered the service. A full family record is attached to the application.1
Mr. Waldo removed with his family, to Oneida County, New York State, about 1793, and finally settled in Prattsburgh in 1805, on a farm three miles from the village on the road to Pulteney. He is said to have made the whole journey with an ox-team. He was, from May 30, 1808, until his death, deacon in the Congregational Church. He was a farmer, as were seven of his eight sons, uniting to that occupation the trade of blacksmith. He married, Dec. 14, 1786,2 at Mansfield, Martha, daughter of Aaron (Edmund) and Abigail(Freeman) Hovey of Mansfield; born Dec. 9, 1768, at Mansfield;3 died Apr. 17, 1849, at Prattsburgh.4
