Barzillai Lew
Barzillai Lew (November 5, 1743January 18, 1822) was an African American soldier who served with distinction during the American Revolutionary War.
==Family history==
Barzillai Lew's story began with Primus Lew of Groton, Massachusetts (a former servant of Captain Matthew Bonner), and Margret Lew (a former servant of Samuel Scripture). As free-blacks, Primus and Margret Lew married in 1742 and they had two sons and two daughters. Primus served as a musician in the French and Indian War in 1747. In 1752, Primus married again to Rose Canterbury and bought a farm on the west side of the Nashua River in the Pepperell section of Groton, Massachusetts and they had two children.
Primus and Margret Lew's oldest son Barzillai (pronounced BAR-zeal-ya) often called "Zeal" or "Zelah," was born a free-black in Groton, Massachusetts November 5, 1743.〔Groton, Massachusetts Vital Records〕 Following in his father’s footsteps, Barzillai Lew was a fifer in Captain Thomas Farrington’s Company from Groton, which marched northward for “the total reduction of Canada." From March 10, 1760 to December 1, 1760, he served with the English forces against the French and Indians and was probably present at the capture of Montreal, Canada by the British.〔Middlesex County Probate Records〕 Lew was known as "big and strong with an extraordinary talent as a musician."〔Butler, Caleb. "History of the Town of Groton: Including Pepperell and Shirley." Boston: T.R. Marvin, 1848, p. 278〕
In the mid-1760s, Lew sold his family farm in the Pepperell section of Groton and moved to Chelmsford, Massachusetts where he worked as a cooper making barrels. About 1766, he bought the freedom of Dinah Bowman (1744–1837) from Major Abraham Blood for 400 pounds (today's value about $28,000) and married her. She was fair skinned and described as "bleached by the sun."〔(Barzillai Lew and Dinah Bowman )〕
