Isaac HEMINGWAY

1730 - 1778  (47 years)

• Name	Isaac HEMINGWAY
  There is some confusion about the spelling of this surname, including Isaac Sr. - Hemenway, is found on his service records, but Hemingway is the spelling on the Framingham town Marriage Records. All of his children, and subsequent descendants, use the spelling Hemingway.
  Birth	17 Jul 1730	Framingham, Middlesex Co., MA
  Gender	Male
  Military	Revolutionary War  [1, 2]
  Served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Captain John Holden's Company, Colonel Thomas Nixon's 6th Massachusetts Regiment. He enlisted March 15, 1777, died while serving, January 30, 1778
  Death	31 Jan 1778	Saratoga Dist.-prob. Albany Co., NY   [3, 4]
  There is confusion as to place of death. However, all accounts have January 1778 as date of death. Isaac died while in the army. Most accounts have his place of death as Framingham, MA. This is questionable given that he was in the army at the time of his death and he died during the Revolutionary War. Framingham may be given only because it is convenient (that was his home at the time). Some accounts have his place of death as Valley Forge, PA. This is also unlikely and probably listed only because the date of his death is the same as the date of significant hardship at Valley Forge. No record however can be found of his death there or of him ever being there. One account has him dying at Saratoga, NY. This too is unlikely as the battles in Saratoga were in September and October of 1777. He is listed however, as having been part of those 1777 Saratoga battles.
