U.S., Revolutionary War Rolls:
Name: Joseph Blish
Military Date: 25 Sep 1776
State or Army Served: Connecticut [prob Massachusetts]
Regiment: [Commander Erastus] Wolcott's [19th Connecticut] Reg

Note: I'm not so sure if the above military date is correct, it may be his departure date. Most of the skirmishes/battles/fortifications were over Boston and Commander Wolcott was at Dorchester and Boston. Lieut. Blish may have done fortification of the coast, which was necessary 1776-1781 at all Massachusetts coasts.
