On September 4th, following, he was taken prisoner by the British Troups on New York Island, and confined eleven days in close jail.

       In 1777, Thomas Catlin was voted one of a committee to purchase and provide clothing to the Continental Army, from Litchfield, Connecticut. In 1780 Thomas Catlin of Litchfield was appointed one of the inspectors of rations for the army. (Source: Connecticut in the Revolution, pg. 395)
