family history says he was born in Lebanon, Ct., Dec. 22, 1755. His headstone differs from both. He came to N. Y. quite early, and served as private, corporal and drummer in Col. Ephraim Woodworth's 13th regiment, of Albany Co. He was afterward drum major. He married Olive Millard and settled in Sempronius, part of which township is still in this county.

He was appointed to a minor town office, March 9, '64, and married Mary Hilton, who, it is said, was born Feb. 14, 1737. The stone raises this to 1748, which seems better. The Brackett Genealogy says: "There has been nothing published to show that Ichabod Brackett served as a soldier in the War of the Revolution. However there is this known, that he with his brother Joshua in 1775, furnished 'pinchon wood and other combustibles,' for fire rafts to be used for the defence of Ports mouth harbor."
