I am trying to find the origins of a Revolutionary War unit, the 29th Regiment
Infantry. A citation I received from the Broome County Historical Society
stated my g-g-grandfather, Caldwell/Colwell Cook was a soldier in that unit.
However, I've been unable to locate its county or even state. A second source,
also from Broome County stated the 29th was in Dutchess County. Does anyone
have books or records to confirm this?
I'm beginning to think the 29th was not a Rev War unit but one from the War of
1812. I've been unable to locate Caldwell Cook's origins prior to Broome County
and expect the 29th's county/state to give me the answer.
Can anyone assist? Thanks so much.
