"Massachusetts Soldiers And Sailors Of The Revolutionary War,"
From pg. 555:
"Goodale, Jacob private, Capt. Samuel Merriman's (2nd) Co., Col. Israel 
Chapen's (3rd) regiment; enlisted Oct. 15, 1779, discharged Nov.21, 1779; 
service, 1 mo. 14 days, travel included, at Claverack."
[This Jacob Goodale is likely to be the Jacob from New Salem, thanks to the 
presence of several fellow New Salemites in this company. Also, the regiment 
was assembled at Sunderland, a town close by in (then) Hampshire Co.]

The following is a brief description of this tour of duty, from the pension 
application S29516, of Jesse Trask, of New Salem:
"That he again enlisted, at said New Salem, in fore part of October 1779, in a 
company commanded by Capt. _____ Merryman, Thomas Grover, Lieut. & Josiah 
Osgood, Ensign, in Col. Israel Chapin's Regiment for three months. The Reg. 
assembled at Sunderland [then Hampshire County], marched from thence to 
Pittsfield, and from thence to Claverack, State of New York, from thence to 
Kinderhook, and from thence to Albany, where he remained during the term, and 
was there discharged."
