Bezaleel's Revolutionary War service reads as follows: Capt JoelFletcher's Co, Col. Ephraim Doolittle's Regiment 1775. Served alsoin Capt Ezekiel Knowlton's Co, Col Dike's Regiment 1976. He was acorporal in Capt Peter Woodbury's Co , Col Job Cushing's Regiment in1777. Bezaleel's name appears on an honorary tablet for RevolutionaryWar Veterans in the Petersham Public Library, as well as on a bronzetablet in Dana Center Common, the township in which he lived in theyear 1801.
Bezaleel, together with Stephen Johnson and Jacob Whipple were thefirst three selectmen in the new town of Dana. Records show Bezaleeldid not at first favor the new township because of increased taxation,but in June 1800 he signed a petition to be included.
Bezaleel is reported to have had a wooden leg. Rumor has it that hewould go out nights on his farm and bury money. Many attempts havebeen made to locate this buried treasure without success. He was avery clever man, and he settled nearly all the estates of hisrelatives as well as others.
Bezaleel is buried not far from the old Seth Williams place in thenortheasterly direction with his wife and son , Bezaleel's family in asmall cemetery. Murray M. Brown, Descendents of Isaac Amsden ofCambridge Massachusetts, (1934).
