References for Cyrus Cone, Revolutionary Soldier

Cyrus' Rev. War Record:
Cyrus served as a private in Col. Samuel McClellan's regiment according to Collections of the Conn. Historical Society
Volume VIII, pub 1901, page 185.
Also, CT archives, Rev War, Series I, 1763-1789, Vol 13, page 363C.
This regiment was raised for one year's service from March, 1778. 
***Note from Karen:  I have read that it served in Rhode Island, but have not been able to verify that.

  Re: Col. McClellan's Regiment
  "This regiment raised for one year's service from March (17) 78, appears to have served 
  in Tyler's Brigade Under Sullivan in Rhode Island August-Sept (17)78."

***Note from Karen:  This reference lists only the officers and cannot be used to verify Cyrus' service in the 
  Rev. War since he was a private. However, it does offer a historical reference for the 
  regiment.
