Melissa,
As pointed out before, Capt. Daniel Lane's journal has been transcribed in Ken D. Johnson's _Bloodied Mohawk_, which you can learn about from the author's web site, here:
http://www.fort-plank.com/New_Partisan_Data.html
If you want the transcript you can buy the book.
As pointed out before, you can look up Capt. Lane's, your Moody's and Col. Alden's records of service in the set, _Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War_. The 17 volumes are arranged alphabetically, and you can look at the volumes, which are available at ancestry.com (fully searchable), and now available free on the (listed at the top of the page) or do a search, here:
http://www.evendon.net/PGHLookups/MilitaryM.htm
At the free website you will get a lot of Moody hits.
You can also look up brief information on the officers in Heitman's _Register of Officers of the Continental Army_, here
http://www.hudsonrivervalley.net/books/historicalregister/
You can also look up your Moody's service record with a free trial subsciption to www.footnote.com.
Those who enlisted "for the war" would have been discharged around June, 1783. Many enlisted for 3 years and served that time to the day.
Col. Alden's Regiment was at Cherry Valley under siege. You can find a lot of information about it with a simple internet search; there is also a short Wikipedia article about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_Valley_massacre
You can find some basic information on the regiment here:
http://www.myrevolutionarywar.com/index.htm
Wait for the page to load completely, click on 'RW Units' at the top, then click on Massachusetts on the mext page and look for Alden's Regiment.
It is not true that soldiers had to live in an 'incorporated town' and give that on a 'place of residence' record. You don't say in what document exactly he said that he lived at Ticonderoga. If it was not he, but some published genealogy that said it, that's a different matter. You have inquired about this in earlier post, but I am not going to repeat all that. Buxton Town was a long-standing County subdivision by the time of the Revolutionary War. You can find out about Buxton Town by a simple internet search.
Good luck,
Jade
