Seth was in his late 40s when the war came & saw no military service.He was able to show support for the cause by signing the "Articles of Association of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Pequannock, in the County of Morris" denouncing England and pledging support to the Continental and Provincial Congress in May of 1776." On 18 March 1780 a certificate was issued to Seth Mahurin by the Quartermaster of Morristown for $536 Continental. Mahurin had sent supplies of some sort to aide the troops at the brutal 1779-80 winter encampment. After the war, Seth, wife Mary Hazen & most of the family made the trek across country to the Ohio River & then to the Cincinnati area [Warren Co.]
