On 19 August 1820 when he filed his affidavit of participation in the Revolutionary War, Daniel Shays was living in the town of Sparta in Ontario County.  That area became part of Livingston County in 1821.

Can anyone help with this one?

Daniel Shays of Shays' Rebellion fame, fled to Vermont after the failure of
his rebellion and eventually on to western New York. Did he use Canada as
part of his escape route? Les
