eleg⁵ Landers (Nathan^4-3, Thomas^2-1) was born 22 Sept. 1761; search in the vicinity of Shoreham, Vt. or New York State may uncover data as to his date of death.

We have found no record of a marriage for this man, but we know that he was only about sixteen years old when his parents moved from Wareham to Lenox, in western Massachusetts.

Peleg Landers of Lenox, served in the Revolution as a private in the company of Capt. Ezra Whittelsey, Col. John Brown’s regiment, where he enlisted 7 Sept., and was discharged 30 Sept. 1777. He is shown under the name Peleg Landress, residence given as of Lenox, in a muster dated at Great Barrington, 5 June 1778, to serve nine months with the Continental Army. [Lydia B.
