According to information in the DAR records, "Othniel Brainerd(1728-1815) enlisted, 1777, from Chatham, where he then lived, inCapt. David Dorrance's company, Connecticut Line. He was born inHaddam Neck, Conn.; died in Middletown."es, "Othniel Brainerdand Mrs. Jerusha Shaler Kilborn (1729-1867), his wife, m. 1764."(However, the 1867 date must be a misprint, as she reportedly diedaround 1807, not 1867 which would have made her almost 150 years old).
