Revolutionary War Patriot, DAR Ancestor #A006890
Captain, TRUSSELL, PA LINE, REGT ORGS & OPS, 1776-1783
Benjamin (son of Joseph 3, son of John 2, son of George 1) was born in Great Valley, on 16 Feb, 1752, the son of Joseph Bartholomew and Sarah Carver. He died on 31 Mar, 1812.
He married Rachel Dewees, who was the daughter of William Dewees and Sarah Potts of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Rachel was born on 7 Mar, 1765 and died on 4 Dec, 1848.
Captain Bartholomew, at the age of 20 (1772), became a member of the Provincial Assembly for Chester County, continuing such for four years ; at the age of 23 (1775), was a member of the Committee of Safety, continuing on that important committee for two years. July 15, 1776, he appears as a member of the famous convention [Constitutional Conventiion] of that date.
At the start of the Revolutionary War, he raised a company and entered the service (1776) as its Lieutenant, under Capt. Persevor Frazer in Col. Wayne's Regiment. Oct. 2, 1776, he was commissioned a Captain and attached to the 58th Penn. Regiment. He was wounded in the leg at the Battle of Brandywine, in Aug, 1777, and was in the Battle of Monmouth, N. J., on June, 1778. He continued with General Anthony Wayne's brigade during all the campaign and shared all the many hardships it encountered. When the Army was re-organized, late in 1780, Capt. Bartholomew was retained.
He was justice of the peace in Chester County in 1777.
Later in life, he refused all public offices which were frequently urged upon him; without the vanity that seeks place and pomp, and loving home and quiet, he devoted himself with great industry and great executive ability to his farm and home exclusively, making them models of success and happiness.
