British soldiers might be landed for a raid or an invasion at any moment.  Amos led the town council to appoint his son and namesake, Amos, Jr., to be captain of the militia.

Will: 13 APR 1776
Details:  The inventory of Amos’ estate showed a value of 117 pounds, 17 shillings, 4 pence.  His son Amos, Jr. received the largest portion of his father’s land, 73 acres. 

Death:  13 MAY 1777  Charlestown, Washington Co, Rhode Island
Note: Wartime stress may have contributed to the death of Amos.  He died a citizen of the State of Rhode Island.
