Lemuel Barrows was born March 23, 1762. He served in the Revolutionary War, eventually climbing to the position of Captain. While a resident of Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut, he enlisted March 12, 1777 as a private in Captain Daniel Allen's Company, Colonel Samuel Wyllys' Connecticut Regiment; length of service three years. He enlisted in May 1780 and about the first of June, joined Captain Stillwell's Company, Colonel Samuel Wyllys' Connecticut Regiment, and was discharged the last of December 1780.
It is of significant note that Lemuel had 2 marriages and both of the wife's first names were ABIGAIL. Even more confusing is that Lemuel was buried in between both Abigail's at Jackson Farm Cemetery at Navarino, Onondaga County, New York. Please see detail below.
