The Rhode Island Maccoones dropped the "Mac"about 1770. A DNA match to a proven descendant of Nathan'sgrandfather John Maccoone [1666-1733] was over 90%. Nathanhas the only documented son Abraham in the time period.In 1773, Nathan Coon brought his family to NewYork andsigned a Rensselaer lease in the area of Stephentown, NewYork. In May of 1777, Nathan, Abraham and cousin Williamare all listed on the same New York militia roster underCaptain Christopher Tillman from Colonel Stephen Schuyler'sRegiment. How ironic that they were tasked with capturingthe "disaffected" that Abraham would later become. InAugust 1777, when Francis Pfister of nearby Hoosickrecruited about 318 local men to support the approachingGeneral Burgoyne, it appears that Abraham was among therecruits. Colonel Pfister was killed in action and hisrecruits were transferred to Samuel Mackay. Abraham wastaken prisoner according to the Samuel Mackay October 1777militia roster for Loyal Volunteers, possibly atBennington, Vermont. Under a "Return of Men formerlybelonging to Lt Col John Peters (who have returned fromimprisonment)", Abraham received backpay from October 1777through October 1780.In 1780 and 1781, he was in hospital per rosters by CaptRobert Leake and Col. John Peters but is later active andlisted on rosters of Capt John W Meyers, Capt WilliamFraser and is eventually discharged under Jessup's LoyalRangers in 1784.He received the UEL designation on the supplemental list.There is no record of his receiving a land grant.In 1789, Abraham is back in New York where he purchasedland in Kingsbury, Washington County, New York. Accordingto one family report, his sons Abraham and Isaac and fourdaughters were all born in Kingsbury. He sold the propertyin 1794.He reappears in Canada in the Elizabethtown census and theJohnstown District jury duty records in 1801 and purchasedland from William Allen in 1803 for 40 pounds. [7thConcession, Lot 33] He sold the land in 1813 to his sonIsaac's brother-in-law or father-in-law, Nathaniel Brownfor 250 pounds. Baptism records for children of Abraham Jrand Isaac appear in 1809. In 1810, Abraham Jr. purchasedland in South Crosby. [3rd Concession, Lot 10]Abraham's sons participated in the War of 1812. In 1812,Isaac is listed on militia rolls for the Fourth Regiment,Lincoln Militia under Captain Abraham Nelles. In the bookRideau Reflections, by G. Clare Churchill, Abraham Jr isrecorded as being granted leave from his post in Gananoqueto go home to South Crosby for ten days in 1814 by CaptainBenoni Wiltsie [Second Regiment, Leeds Militia].At some later date, Isaac is declared an Alien [apparentlyreturned to the United States] and forfeits 100 acres ofland in the 7th Concession, Lot 34 S on January 2, 1817.It is an odd parallel. In 1777, Abraham became a loyalistwhile his brother Nathan remained in the New York militia.Thirty five years later, two brothers are again split bytheir loyalties.Abraham Sr was listed on Elizabethtown census as late as1819. A joint tombstone at South Crosby's Halladay cemeteryreports that Abraham Sr. died in 1831 and Abraham Jr. diedin 1859.Abraham Jr's descendants continue to live in the SouthCrosby area. I do not know the subsequent whereabouts ofIsaac.Abraham Coon, UEL is my fourth great grandfather. Mygrandfather Gerald Coon moved to New York shortly after hisservice in the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force duringWorld War I. - Submitted by Janet Stemmer, UE [3]
