Notes:

William and his brother Harry had moved to Allegan Co., Michigan by 1842, and are assessed there. William must have returned to Vermont as he was enumerated there in 1850.
-
William lost his life after serving in Company I, 13th Infantry Regiment Michigan, he was discharged on January 25, 1862 and died on May 22, 1862, due to disease. He also lost 2 sons, Harry (killed in battle), and Isaac (due to disease). All 3 men were members of Company I, 13th Infantry Regiment Michigan.

-

A marriage record of Shadrack Newton and Mary Dike was found which took place in Westminster, Worchester Co., Massachusetts. Though this tells of of no possible connection it seems promising because of the Dike surname matches the first name of Dike Newton, and the date is close to the birthdate of Dike, who stated he was born in Massachusetts.

Dike — WHITE, Malinda. Malinda (daughter of WHITE) was born 13 Mar 1808, Warrensburg, Warren County, New York; died 30 Sep 1893, Otsego, Allegan County, Michigan. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The St. Lawrence Co. New York History by Gates Curtis, 1894, states that Abraham was a Hessian (German soldier fighting for the British army). Some have theorized that Abraham may have been a part of a German Battalion, but as a British soldier. The surname Brundage is also much more prevalent in England than in Germany. Abraham is said to have deserted the British army, which was not unusual at the time, and some families in the northeast are proud that their ancestors deserted the British cause.
-
Another biography "A history of the town of Williston", pg. 40, shows the following:

Stephen N. Warren came to Williston about the same time as Lemuel Bottom and settled near him. He afterwards moved to Fairfax where he died. He had eight children. Of these the youngest, Charles E. followed the trade of carpenter and joiner for some time, worked a while at the paper mills in Essex, and finally purchased a farm in Williston where he died July 30, 1888. Charles E. married Rosetta Baldwin, a granddaughter of Abram Brundage, an early settler, a soldier in the French and Indian War, and in the British Army of the Revolution. He stood at the top of the rock down which Gen. Isaac (Israel?) Putnam made his famous ride, at the time the deed was done. . . .

This record of Abraham is of interest as it shows his family in close proximity of he Isham and Lockwood familys, both of whom have recorded inter-marrying with the Brundages in the 1700's & 1800's.
-
Some records show Abraham and Lois as having 8 children, 5 boys & 4 girls (See below).

-
By 1840 there is no mention of Abraham in Williston. One interesting fact in the 1840 census is that Nathaniel's family is shown with a 70-79 year old female living with them, could this be Lois (Yale) Brundage, Abraham's wife?
-
The St. Lawrence Co. book states Abraham spent his last days in Williston, Vermont.
-
All 4 of Abraham's sons appear in the1840 census for Williston, Chittenden Co., Vermont, their names were; Joshua, Harry, William and Nathan.
-
A Clarissa Brundage married Carlton Barto at Hinesburg, Vermont on November 11, 1820. Perhaps she is Abraham's oldest daughter ?.
-
From the book "A Survey of the Ishams in England and America" There was an Elizabeth Brundage b. October, 1787 who married an Ebenezer Isham who lived in and raised children in St. George, Chittenden Co., Vermont in about 1813. From the same source we find a Mary Brundage married to Nathan Lockwood, this couple raised children in St. George, Chittenden Co., Vermont. One of their daughters was born October 20 , 1795.

The following - Might ???- apply to our Abraham:

Andreas Emmerick's Chasseurs, Capt. Benjamin Ogden's Troop...
Muster Roll of a Troop of Dragoons in his Majesty’s Corps of Chasseurs Under the Command of Lieut. Colonel A EMMERICK, October 24th, 1778:
...Abraham Brundage, Sick in Quarters, May 2, 1778...

NOTE: !...!...!
Andreas Emmerick was an accomplished German Officer who was given authority to recruit men from the New York colony to serve under his command. (Hmm... this sounds familiar...).
This is very intriguing and may tie our Abraham to the loyalist Brundages who ended up in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia at the close of the Rev. War.

Also this...

Muster Roll of Discharged Officers and Disbanded Soldiers and Loyalists:
Town of Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada, May 29, 1784.
Brundige, Abraham, Loyalist.

Abraham married YALE, Lois Bef 1800, Massachusetts. Lois (daughter of YALE, Moses and LYMAN, Lois) was born Abt 1775, Charlotte, Chittenden County, Vermont; died Aft 1830, Probably Williston, Chittenden County, Vermont. [Group Sheet]
