"Massachusetts Soldiers And Sailors In The Revolutionary War,"
From pg. 552:
"Goodal, Jonathan, New Salem. Sergeant, Capt. Ebenezer Goodall's company of 
Minutemen, Col Woodbridge's regiment, which marched on the alarm of April 19, 
1775; service, 51 days."

From: "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War, Pg. 
555: "Goodale, John. Private, Capt. Abel Dinsmore's company of Franklin 
County], Col. David Field's regiment; enlisted Aug. 17, 1777; discharged Aug. 
19, 1777; service, 4 days; company marched to the northward at the request of 
Gen. Horatio Gates and was dismissed by order of Gen. Lincoln."

From: "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War, pg. 
556:"Goodale, Jonathan Private, Capt. Ebenezer Goodale's co., Col. David Wells 
regt: enlisted Sept. 24, 1777; discharged Oct. 13, 1777, 120 miles from home; 
service, 26 days; company marched to join Northern army."

Additional Comments:
In the Timothy Page Papers in the New Salem Swift River Valley Historical 
Society collection [located in New Salem, MA], dated New Salem, October 20th, 
1781, there is a requisition list (orders on the constable) and there is 
described 'Cloathing for Soldiers, etc', Jonathan Goodale, 1 pr stockings, and 
1 blanket.

"To Mr. Timothy Page-Town Treasurer:
Sir, You are hereby desired to give each of the above named persons, orders on 
the Constables for the several sums set to each of their names; in such manner 
as you may think best. New Salem, October 20th, 1781. Daniel Shaw and J. 
Chamberlin, Selectmen."
"NB: The above is clothing for soldiers. December 5th, 1781, then paid N. 
Learned for one pair of stockings, 4.6. due to Abram Pearce, 1.0.9"

This indicates that Jonathan (II) performed more service in 1781, which did not 
show up on Mass. State muster lists. The above list of men may even have 
constituted the company at that time. If he served with most of the Hampshire 
County men, he was probably stationed in the West Point area of NY in 1781.
