NOTE .- Col. Hinman, marched for Ticonderoga, in command of the 4th regiment of troops from Conn., about June 1, 1775. The General Assembly resolved, authorizing Brig. Gen. Spen- cer, (in 1775,) by an order from the Governor, to direct the Col. of the 6th regiment under Spencer, to direct the Captains to forward the enlistments of men for special service, defence and safety of the Colony, and to be ready to march on the shortest notice. And the four regi- ments under Spencer, Putnam, Col. Hinman and Parsons, or such part of them as the Governor should order, to be forthwith in readiness, and to march to Boston, or some place contiguous, as ordered. In July, 1775, the Assembly of Conn., resolved, that the Gov. of Conn., should make a kind and friendly answer to the speech sent the Colony by the Indians of Oneida, and procure a belt of wampum, and send them; also, directed the Governor that he should order Col. Hinman, to assure the Indians of the peaceable disposition toward them by the Colony of Conn.
Col. Benjamin Hinman, in 1776, was made Col., Philip Burr Bradley, Lieut. Col., and David Dimon. Major of a regiment, then to be raised for defence of the Colony of Conn.
June 19, 1775, the General Assembly of Conn., had before them a letter from Col. Wolcott, asking for a supply for Col. Hinman's regiment at Ticonderoga, which was approved, as well as the letter from Col. Hinman himself. July 24, 1775, post Judd, arrived with letters from Ticonderoga, to the Council, saying the troops there, were destitute of tents, &c. And the Gov. was advised to write to the Congress of New York, to provide and send Col. Hinman's regiment at Ticonderoga a suitable number of tents. It not being promptly done by New York, a letter was sent to President Livingston, of the New York Congress, showing the anxiety of the Gover- nor, that they had not sent the tents for Col. Hinman's regiment, and urged upon him the danger of delays.
