• Notes

  (24) dead (24) dead !Last name could be Vaile !Last name could be Vaile dead dead The fifth Jeremiah Vail lived at Oyster The fifth Jeremiah Vail lived at Oyster Ponds, Long Island, and occupied the house owned by his father. His son Jonathan succeeded him there. The name of Oyster Ponds was changed to Orient about 1836. On September 6, 1781, BENEDICT ARNOLD landed at New London, Ct., with a large force of British troops loyal Americans and German mercenaries, and burned the town. A portion of his troops landed on the east side of the Thames River and captured For Griswold. Here, either by misunderstanding or by intent, the American defenders of the fort were shot down after Col. Ledyard had surrendered. Arnold withdrew his forces the same day and sailed away. A small portion of the British force landed on Long Island and approached the house occupied by Jeremia Vail. His wife, Elizabeth, seeing them soming, stained with blood and bearing arms, ran to the cellar and rolled over two huge barrels of hard cider, with bungs removed, and emptied them upon the ground. This she did to avoid furnishing intoxicating liquores to men already enraged and drunken. She was a courageous woman, capable of prompt and effective action, and worthy of descendants equally alert and forceful. !NOTE: The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat !NOTE: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ancestral File (TM); ; July 1996 (c), data as of 2 January 1996; ; , Family History Library, 35 N West Temple Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84150 USA !NOTE: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ancestral File (TM); ; July 1996 (c), data as of 2 January 1996; ; , Family History Library, 35 N West Temple Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84150 USA !NOTE: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ancestral File (TM); ; July 1996 (c), data as of 2 January 1996; ; , Family History Library, 35 N West Temple Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84150 USA Line 3302 from GEDCOM File not recogniza Line 3302 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: SLGC 6 DEC'61 SG (14) (D) (14) (D) 5th Jeremiah, lived on old homestead Non 5th Jeremiah, lived on old homestead Non-standard gedcom data: 1 _IFLAGS 0 Line 11483 from GEDCOM File not recogniz Line 11483 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: SLGC DATE 6 DEC'61 Line 29021 from GEDCOM File not recogniz Line 29021 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: SLGC DATE 6 DEC'61 From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 2 January 1996.
