Ethel Plant is also enrolled as enlisting at New London, May 24, 1778, in the Third troop of light dragoons, and is described as “a cooper, stature, 5 feet 8½ inches, complexion light, eyes light, hair dark.” On June 5, 1813, Ethel Plant made application for a pension, being at that time 63 years of age, and a resident of Delhi, New York. The pension was allowed for six years’ actual service in the Connecticut troops in the Revolutionary War. The town clerk of Delhi writes, January 26, 1898, that no traces of such a person are now to be found there. His marriage was by the name of Ethiel Plant. The various spellings were no doubt due to the unusualness of the name.
