Please note: This is the first part of a list containing 56 entries. There has been some confusion resulting from the similarity of names. If your Cone ancestor is not on the list, that does not mean that he was not part of the Revolution. It means that none of his descendants has used his service to join the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Speculation would indicate that those men originally from the East Haddam area of Connecticut are descendants of Daniel Cone, one of its founders, who died in Haddam in 1706. Interesting that there are Cones born in Virginia in the 1750s. I do not know if they are also descendants of Daniel.
