Drinkwater MArmy and Navy

ter and Elizabeth Bradford, his wife;
Their Ancestors and Descendants" by
John S. Fernald:
The Drink water family and descend
ants have been well represented in the
defense of the country from the Revo-
luton to the present day. Joseph
Drinkwater served in a garrison in
Portland in the Revolution. but wheth-
er it was Mlcajah'S father or brother
we do not know, probably the brother
as he was 40 years old when the war
broke out, while his father was 81. 1t
is possible. however, that the elder
Joseph and other old men served in the
Notifications about home while the
younger men were at the front.
