Amos Morrill was a Major in the Revolutionary War who served from August 1 1775 until September 1783 in the New Hampshire Regiment. Most of the records of his service were lost when the War Office was burned in November 1814. However, he was granted 400 acres of bounty land near St. Albans Vermont as reward for his services during the war. [5]
