Searching for Sources on his Revolutionary War service

[edit]

I've been pretty well able to document Kingsbury's service during the Revolutionary War through primary sources, and there's a lot of interest there, having been for example, among the American Light Infantry that attacked Redoubt #10 at Yorktown in 1781. However, that's not usable here on Wikipedia. I haven't yet found any credible, secondary sources that dive a little deeper into his early military service. Does anyone else have leads?

How to deal with his birth location?

[edit]

I've left his birth location as "Norwich" in the infobox. But I am curious because of the unique situation if this is the best solution. While at the time where he was born was part of Norwich, during his lifetime it became the town of Franklin. How are situations like this usually handled on Wikipedia?
