New York milita, under Colonel Hopkins. David enlisted March 20, 1778
and served until after July 22, 1781. He was a cousin of Ebenezer a

Commissioners for Detecting and Defeating Conspiracies for New
York,1780-1781:
March 2,1781,Albany
Lieutenant David HUSTEAD appeared before the Board and informed that
agreeable to the warrant,he apprehended John COE,pand David NICHOLS
for dispersing to the County the Sir Henry CLINTON proclamation.
July 10,1781,Albany
Lt. David HUSTEAD appeared before the Board with Lucius PALMER, Gideon
PALMER, Issac PALMER, Simon CHESLEY, and Comfort MARCH, who he
apprehended on account of their intending to go to Canada.
This David HUSTEAD clearly was a brother of Titus HUSTED. Both
settled in what is now Nassau, Rensselaer County, New York before the
beginning of the Revolutionary War.

In Virgil White's book,Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War
Pensions,Volume II,on page 1784,White says that David HUSTED's
application,made June 16,1832,at Lee, Oneida County, New York,
resulted in pension W292248. White apparently had trouble reading the
application,because he says that David was born either on February 1
or February 6,1741, at Horseneck, no state given. Horseneck is a
peninsula located in Greenwich,Connecticut, where David had been born
to David HUSTED and his wife,Millicent BARTON.
The Dutchess County,New York records show David HUSTED, the father, in
1748. (Franklin DelnoRoosevelt,an avid amateur genealogist in Dutchess
County wrote an interesting paper on the Dutchess County brand marks,
which included those of David HUSTED,Sr. for the year 1748.
White also says that Lt. David had lived in Phillipstown, Albany
County. That place is now Nassau, Rensselaer County, New York.
On the 1790 census the following HUSTEDs were listed for Albany
County's Rensselaerwyck: David,and his brothers, Titus, Amos, and
Abraham. Brother Reuben being listed For Washington,Dutchess
County,NY,since he,the youngest son,got the farm there.
In March,1781,Lt.David HUSTED was a juror in Albany and he,and the
other jurors,were said the be residents of the East District of the
Manor of Rensselaerwyck. The Hudson river divided the two portions
of this vast land holding,was for at least
90,000 acres originally.
Military records show that David HUSTED(sometimes listed as David
HUSTES, was first a lieutenant then a captain in the 6th Rensselaer-
wyck Regiment of the Albany County militia.
Lt. David, however, was not mentioned in his father's will of 1787.
Perhaps this might be because only David served in the Revolutionary
War. Why? I suspect that David HUSTED,Senior,was another Dutchess
County HUSTED who was a Quaker

Although David applied for his pension at Lee,Oneida County ,New York
(June 16,1832), he died at Ava,Oneida County in 1835. He is buried at the
Evergreen Cemetery in Lee, New York.
David and his wife,Patience PALMER had six daughters and three sons,as
follows,listing only the sons,
Peter Palmer HUSTED,born Mar.26,1776,married Desire HIGBY
David,born June 29,1781;married PollY NESLE
Richard,born September 24,1783;married Polly SEYMOUR
