REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER
PICUS AUSTIN 1740 - 1828; BURIED IN COWLESVILLE
This Revolutionary soldier's family is detailed in "A Genealogy of the Descendants of Robert Austin of Kingstown, Rhode Island ". Starting with Isaac (a Cowlesville resident in 1837) the line is John W., Picus, John, Edward, and Robert. Picus Austin was born on March 2, 1740, the son of John and Mary Sweet Austin. He served for the state of Rhode Island. He died on Nov. 30, 1828 in Bennington, NY.
* First enlisted for 6 mos. in 3rd Kings Co. Regiment (LTC Thomas Potter), 4th South Kingstown Company (Capt. Daniel Sherman).
Picus enlisted a second time in the 3rd Kings County Regiment (Col. Thomas Potter), 1st South Kingstown Company (Timothy Locke, Jr.) for six months, from April-July 1777.
Although his wife's pension application claims he participated in "Sullivan's Expedition," the dates do not match (if so, his service dates may be in 1779 because Sullivan's Exped. began in June 1779). More likely, he served during "Spencer's Expedition," if so, his claimed service dates may really be July-Dec. 1778 and he could have fought in the Dec. 8 1778 Battle of Rhode Island (aka Quaker Hill and Newport).
