He lived in Charlotte Precinct when he enlisted in the Revolution. He applied for his pension 11 OCT 1832 when living Duanesburgh, Schenectady Co., NY. He made tow depositions in his application, one in 1832 and the other in 1833. He served in 1776 under Capt. Jonathan Welles in Dutchess Co., and in 1777 he was in the six-month service. In 1778 he volunteered with his team (horses) for four months under Capt. Silas Marsh. In 1779 and 1780 he patrolled in the county and collected stores for 18 days under Capt. Pemberton. In Nov 1779 he served as a guardsman under Capt. Vanderburgh. Henry witnessed a deed in Nine Partners 3 MAR 1785 between Jeremiah Palmer and Pardon Burlingame. Britton Tallman wrote his will 10 AUG 1811 and in it mentioned his wife Deborah, his gr.-nephew Britton Tallman, son of Jonathan, and Elias, Henry and Henry Gilbert Head. Henry Head sued Benjamin Tripp in 1789. Henry became insolvent and the following notice is found in the local paper: "Henry Head, his goods and chattels, lands & tenements to be sold 5 April at his house in Beekman." Henry was in Beekman in 1790 at 2-3-3 between William Clark and Samuel Albro. He was a Duncan store customer ca. 1790-1795. Henry was indicted for riot & assault in 1796 (15 OCT 1796) and the case is interesting reading. Britton Tallman, Henry Head and Elias Head, all of Dutchess County, swore 20 JAN 1813 that they had seen Henry Wagman sign his will 13 FEB 1797. Elias Head was evidently a Quaker because he "affirmed", rather than swore. Henry Head was listed in Town of Livingston, Columbia County in 1800 at 2-1-2-0-1 and 0-1-0-0-1 between John I. Best and Ichabod Paddock. He was back in Beekman in 1810 at 0-0-1-2-1 and 0-0-0-1-1 between Israel Vail and Britton Tallman. He had two horses and three cows. Henry Head, age 82, a Rev. pensioner, was living with Henry G. Head in Duanesburgh 1 JUN 1840. On 19 NOV 1849 he testified before Matthew Rector, JP, in Schenectady County on behalf of a former neighbor: "Henry Head aged ninety-four years and a resident of Duanesburgh, deposed he was a Revolutionary War pensioner and during the War he had known Gamalile Taylor who lived in Fishkill adjoining Beekman, Dutchess County. He had also known Anna Losee (Taylor's wife) before her marriage.

Joseph was taxed in Beekman in 1760. He was then taxed in Northeast Precinct from FEB 1762 to JUN 1973. He left Dutchess County by SEP 1774 when he was taxed in Hardyston Township, Sussex Co., NJ. In 1774 he was listed there with 28 acers of land. In MAY 1780 he was taxed on 30 acres of land, 15 acres improved, 1 log house, 3 horses, 5 horned cattle and 1 hog. He was again taxed in 1781. He served in the Levies under Malcolm during the Revolution.

The marriage in Philadelphia is questionable.

He was noted as of Little Compton in the marriage record. He is alleged to have lived at Guilford, CT in 1736 where his son John was born but was on the Beekman tax roll in FEB 1746 and remained through 1761 when 'farm' was listed until 1762. Henry Head was assessed in Beekman Precinct in FEB 1747/8 and JUN 1748 at 2 pounds, in FEB 1753 at 4 pounds, and in JUN 1758 and JUN 1760 at 2 pound. He was taxed in North East Precinct FEB 1762 to 'farm' in JUN 1765-66. Henry Head and his brother Lovet Head were sued for debt, one after the other by Merchant Filkin. His farm was probably in lot 15 of the Patent, near the present Amenia line. Lovet Head was on this farm after his brother left ant Thomas Casey was on the farm next. Casey paid rentals of 30 bushels, indicating a farm of about 300 acres but Lovet Head's account only notes rents of 10 bushels.
