Enos Grannis, Sr.
The record is that he enlisted April 18, 1776. The regiment was posted at Germant Plots in Herkimer County, New York in August, 1777.
He enlisted for the war under Capt. Pendleton as Artificer in Col. Peduthas (a Massachusetts Officer) regiment of Artillery; was appointed sergeant Sept. 13, 1777 and promoted to lieutenant Nov. 12, 1779 in the same organization.
The command was in the Battle of Brandwine, Del. Sept. 11, 1777; at Germantown, Pa. Oct. 4, 1777 and at Monmouth, New Jersey, June 28, 1778, an excessively hot day.
Gen. Green superceded Gen. Gales in the command of the southern army in November, 1780 and made a request for Capt. Pendleton's company to be sent to him, and they were the only troops that served south of Virginia during the war.
It was claimed that Grannis was appointed Captain by Gen. Green, but there is no evidence that he was commissioned as such. It may be that he was only acting temporarily. He remained in the south until the end of the war, then came to Philadelphia, Nov. 3, 1783.
Grannis was at Watertown, Litchfield County, when he enlisted in the service. The $1,800.00 was granted by Congress as commutation of half pay by act of June 20, 1834, and the date of marriage may be in those papers at the Treasury Dept. where it was paid.
In 1834 Enos Grannis' son, Palmer Grannis collected $2,000.00 back pension due his father.
