NOTES
1). BIOGRAPHY BENJAMIN ISHMAEL BIOGRAPHY !Farmer, Soldier, and Patriarch of the ISHMAEL? family in the United States Benjamin Ishmael was born in the colony, Pennsylvania in 1736. First known records found on Benjamin Ishmael are the Military records on file in the State Historical Commision of Pennsylvania, However the most informative record is Benjamin s own Pension application which he filed in 1818. This pension paper, coupled with information found in a book by John B. B. Trussell, Jr, ?The Pennsylvania Line, Regimental Organizations, 1776 1783 ,1977, makes a good story for the life and times of our Ancestor. Benjamin enlisted into Company A , under the command of Captain Abraham Smith at Conecocheaque Settlement in Cumberland County. BIOGRAPHY !This company was part of the 6th Pennsylvania Battalion raised by Colonel William Irvine. This Battalion authorized on January 4th, 1776. The initial strength of the 6th was 710 men. The uniform of the Battalion was a blue coat and breeches, the coat turned up with red, and a small round hat, bound with braid or tape, Most of the men were from Cumberland County, but two companies were from York County. This Battalion, with many others were involved in the fiasco at Three Rivers, Canada. Mostof the Battalion was captured, with the notable except of Company A , which escaped with the help of 10 riflemen of Captain John Lacey s Company C , 4th Pennsylvania Battalion. This venture started after the 6th Battalion Ms mustered into service at Carlisle, receiving orders on March 14, 1776 to join forces at New York City, and by April 24th, the entire Battalion had arrived as ordered. Then on April 26th, it and three companies of the 4th Pennsylvania were ordered to go to Albany and join in an attach into Canada. The Battalion reached Albany on May 10th. Three days later it departed under the control of Brig. Gen. John Sullivan. It passed Lake George and reached Chambly on June 3rd, It joined the main army at Sorel the next day, On June 5th, underthe over all control of Brig. Gen. Wm Thompson, it was sent to Nicolette to reinforce troops under Col. Athur St. Clair. On June 9th, this force engaged the British at Three Rivers. 78 members of the 6th Battalion were killed or captured. After this defeat, Company A , aided by the ten riflemen of Captain Lacey s unit, returned to Sorel. The survivors of the 6th, with the remaining American forces fell back to Isle Awe Noix. While there, some members decided to go fishing, These men were attached by a group of Indians. Two of the enlisted men were killed and scapled. After this the American s retreated to Crown Point, which it reached by July 1st, The troops of the 6th Battalion remained here as the other units moved to Ticonderoga, The 6th Battalion stayed at Crown Point for 39 months forming an outpost, having occasional brushes with the enemy. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Hartely was in command since Three Rivers, where Colonel Irvine had been captured, His orders were to hold unless a major attack was launched against his forces, then retreat, On October 14th, the main British army approached, so he set fire to the houses in the vicinity and fell back to Ticonderoga. The Battalion stayed here until the enlistments of the men ran out, returning to Carlisle, being mustered out March 15, 1777. BIOGRAPHY ! Benjamin returned home, where he worked until about one year later. And. Then joined Colonel Buford s Regiment. This was about 1778, and he was transfered to Captain Bentalou s Company of Count Casimir Pulaski command. During this service, Benjamin was in the Battle of Eggharhour, New Jersey.
