Person:James Smalley (9)

From "The Descendants of Edward Small of New England & Allied Families; Lora A. Underhill; Boston, 1934, pg. 146:

James, oldest son of Captain James and Hannah (Bickford) Smalley, born about 1736 at Lebanon; resided there until 1784, except for a short time when he was at Bernardston, Mass. Nov. 26, 1772, he is mentioned in a deed "as of Bernardston". He and his brothers David and William bought land there. No information of his wife has been found. Some of his children are mentioned in the records of the church in the North Parish of Lebanon, now in Columbia, Conn. James Smalley sold land in Lebanon, Apr. 3, 1784, to Jonathan Clark. The tract consisted of about twelve acres, formerly John Dewey's. His mother was one of the witnesses, but his wife did not sign. He probably died soon after selling the land, or removed to some other place. His name is not in the Lebanon Census of 1790. He served in the French and Indian War in the campaign of 1756 under Captain Leach or Captain Cushman, and under Captain Joshua BArker in the campaign of 1758. He also served in the revolutionary War.
