John Annis accompanied his Uncle Daniel Annis to Warner, NH in 1762, but returned to Newbury, MA before 1776, at which time he served in the American Revolution. He enlisted in Captain Greenleaf's Company, Colonel Benjamin Tupper's Regiment on March 10, 1777 at Newburyport for three years. He was ttken prisoner at Hubelton on July 7, 1777 and held prisoner in Canada. There is no further record of John, but it is suspected that like many of his brothers after the Revolution, he migrated to western New York state after the war. There are records of a John Annis at Stafford and Batavia, NY that has not been verified, but the timeline fits very nicely. More research needed.
