"When the inhabitants of Lansinghburgh became aware of the fact that the relations between the American colonists and Great Britain had become strained almost to the point of rupture, they showed their patriotism by subscribing to a paper which read as follows, dated June 15, 1775: A General Association agreed to and subscribed by the Freemen Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh and Patent of Stone Arabia: [...]
"The paper bore the signatures of [...] Jonathan Severs [...]
"That these men meant all that they said and promised is evidenced in the fact that, with very few exceptions, their names are found enrolled upon the following lists of militia maintained during the War of the Revolution. Some of the names are those of persons then residing outside the bounds of the town, but there is no record distinguishing them from residents of Lansingburgh:
"The Lansingburgh company of Colonel Stephen J. Schuyler's militia, February 17, 1777; [...] lieutenants, Abraham Ten Eyck, Jonathan Sever" [bold emphasis added]
