I've been trying to track down information on the Jonas' Platt who served in the Revolution and I'm finding conflicting information.

In one source I find Jonas Platt (husband of Elizabeth Sanford) served in Gray's Co of CT Militia AND was taken prisioner during the Danbury Raid.

In another source, the above Jonas was just in Gray's Co and his son, Jonas (husband of Lucy Mills) was the one taken prisioner.

In yet another source, the father is the prisioner and the son is in Gray's Co. In still another source, both events are credited to the son.

Does anyone have any REAL evidence of which was in the militia, which was a prisioner as a result of the Danbury Raid, and if these events only affected one or both of these men?
