The Continentals were compelled to evacuate the island of Manhattan and then retired to White Plains where the British again attacked them on Oct. 28. But some time before this battle took place there had evidently been an encamp- ment of some sort where some Meriden men were stationed for a letter dated there seems to show that such was the case.

Joseph Shaylor1 served continuously in the army from the beginning to the end of the war and attained the rank of Ist Lieutenant, and was a member of the order of the Cincinnati. He was in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, and took part in the storming and capturing of Stony Point under "Mad" Anthony Wayne on July 15, 1779, one of the most brilliant exploits during the war.
It is doubtful if the Meriden men whose letters have been given, viz : Ezekiel and Joseph Rice, were in Capt. Couch's company at the time of the campaign in New York City and vicinity for the captain was at that time in Col. Bradley's battalion in General Wadsworth's brigade which "was stationed the greater part of the summer and early fall of 1776 at Bergen Heights and Paulus Hook (now Jersey City). In October it moved up the river to the vicinity of Ft. Lee, then under General Greene's command. In November most of the regiment was sent across the river to assist in defending Fort Washington which on the fall of the fort November 16 was captured with the entire garrison."2
Captain Couch was taken prisoner and also the following Meriden men in his

company : Gideon Ives, John Pierce, Nathaniel Yale,1 Samuel Rice, Jonathan Hall, Benjamin Austin, Gideon Rice, Stephen Atwater and Moses Hall.
John Couch was in a British prison on Long Island for some time after this capture. In the State Library at Hartford in Revolutionary War documents, Vol. XII., pp. 130-181, are preserved various receipts for money conveyed by the state to men in prison on Long Island, 1777. John Couch's name is among the num- ber of those signing. He evidently gained his freedom during the year, for he appears as captain of a company in a militia regiment ordered to Peekskill in 1777. His name does not again occur among the records.
Isaac Hall, Jr., son of Dr. Isaac Hall, was apparently captain of a company of militia which was in 1776 attached to a regiment of Light Horse. In 1777 he was in service in New York and "parts adjacent," and in 1779, according to some old military papers found in the Wallingford town vault within recent years, men were detached from Capt. Isaac Hall's company to go to Greenwich, and his name appears in the roll of those companies doing service in the Tryon invasion of New Haven, 1779.
Divan Berry was second lieutenant of a company in Bradley's battalion, Wads- worth's Brigade, and was at Fort Washington but it does not appear that he was captured. From July to November, 1776, he was second lieutenant in Prentice's company and was at Ticonderoga under General Gates. In the year 1779 he was a captain under Major Smith's command, and was on coast guard duty at Horse- neck near Greenwich this state, during the time of the British expedition up the Sound under Tryon. In 1780 he was a captain in the 17th regiment.
John Hough was a lieutenant in Capt. Isaac Cook's Company. On Sept. 28, 1775, the regiment was ordered to the Northern Department under General Schuy- ler and was engaged in operations along Lakes George and Champlain. They assisted in the reduction of St. John and were stationed for a while at Montreal. Many soldiers in this company became sick and were mustered out Oct .- Nov. John Hough was also in Captain Hammond's company, Third battalion, under Col- onels Spencer and Wooster in 1776 and 1777, which did service in this state. In October, 1777, he was in Colonel Baldwin"s regiment ordered to Fishkill. In 1779 he was a captain in a company that served during the Tryon invasion and in 1780 he was captain in the Seventh militia regiment.
Asaph Merriam enlisted in the Sixth Connecticut regiment on April 24, 1777, and served three years and was made a pensioner in 1832. He was in Captain Couch's2 company at the time so many were captured in 1776, but he was not made a prisoner. The Sixth regiment saw a great deal of service. "It went into camp in Peekskill in the summer of 1777, but frequently was detached on expeditions or

outpost duty on the line above Kings Bridge. It served in Aug .- Oct. on the Hud- son, in Parsons Brigade, under Putnam, and engaged in all movements made in consequence of enemy's move against Fort Montgomery. It wintered '77-'78 at West Point, and assisted in constructing permanent fortifications, etc. In oper- ations of 1779 it served with Connecticut division on east side of Hudson, and perhaps engaged at storming of Stony Point July 15, '79. On discovery of Ar- nold's treason, it was ordered to West Point in anticipation of advance of the enemy." Lieut. Joseph Shaylor was with this regiment.
Chatham Freeman, the slave of Noah Yale, who earned his freedom by serv- ing in the room of his master during the war, was in this regiment for three years. He was made a pensioner in 1818. Others who served in this regiment were Moses, Rufus, and Jonathan Hall, Levi Robinson1 and Joseph Coban.
In the month of October, 1777, Lieut. Colonel Baldwin's regiment of militia was ordered to the Hudson at Fishkill to aid the Continental army. They were out perhaps thirty days, and probably saw no active service. In the regiment were these Meriden officers, viz. Capt. Bezaleel Ives, Lieut. John Hough and Capt. Dan Collins.
The following accounts of service by various Meriden men have been ex- tracted from Record of Connecticut Men in the Revolution :
Abner Andrews was in the 5th Regiment and served 3 years and was most of the time stationed on or near the Hudson river.
Lamberton Clark is mentioned by Mr. Perkins as among the men from Mer- iden who served, but he enlisted in Middletown and did not move to Meriden until some time after peace was declared: he was drummer in Col. Sherburne's regiment, and also served with Capt. Heart in the Ist regiment.
Benjamin Rexford was in Capt. Leavenworth's company in the 6th regiment for 3 years and saw most of his service near the Hudson.
Edmund Merriam was a corporal in Capt. Robertson's company in the 2d reg- iment and also in the 4th regiment : he was stationed at West Point in 1783.
David Roberts, a pensioner in 1818, was in Capt. Shepherd's company in Gen- eral Wolcott's brigade at Peekskill in 1777, and was also in Capt. Johnson's com- pany, Wadsworth's brigade at Fort Washington in '76, and was made prisoner : his residence was in Middletown, however, until after the Revolution.
Jotham Hall, a pensioner in 1818, served in Capt. Richards company, 2d Reg- iment, and was in General Lafayette's army at the siege of Yorktown.
James Baldwin, at the time a resident of Cheshire, was in Capt. Barnes' com- pany, militia regiment, 1777, enlisted in Capt. Sizer's company in a regiment of artificers, 1778, and was at Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and .elsewhere. in service with the regiment: he was a pensioner in 1818.
1 Grandson of Capt. Josiah Robinson.
278
A CENTURY OF MERIDEN.
Ephraim Merriam was a fifer all through the war and was with Capt. Couch's company when Ft. Washington was captured in 1776: but the records do not say that he was made prisoner : he was in Capt. Barker's company under Lafayette at the siege of Yorktown and in Capt. Potter's company, 2d regiment, at West Point, in 1783. He was a pensioner in 1818.
Isaac Atwater, a boy of sixteen, was in the campaign around New York in 1776 and retreated with the army to Harlem and White Plains.
Josiah Merriam was in the first troop of Col. Sheldon's Light Dragoons from 1777 to 1783, and saw service at Germantown and under Gates against Burgoyne.
David Hall, a pensioner in 1818, was in Capt. Edwards' company in Col. Wa- terbury's regiment on sea coast duty in 1781, but began his military career in Capt. Couch's company and was at Fort Washington in 1776 but according to records was not made a prisoner. In 1777 he enlisted in Captain Leavenworth's company of Sixth regiment and served three years.
Joash Hall was in the Danbury Raid April, 1777; his horse was killed under him, for which the state reimbursed him.
Abner Rice was in Captain Couch's company and was with the command at Fort Washington but evidently not taken prisoner.
Samuel Rice was paid a bounty by Wallingford to serve in 1781.
Black Boss, a negro slave of Abel Curtis, is stated in Perkins' Historical Sketches, to have been a soldier in the Revolution : on a roll or report of the town of Wallingford 1779 in the State Library, appears the name of Boston negro, next to the name of Chatham negro.
Archelaus Allen, a soldier in the Lexington alarm, and afterwards in Capt. Street Hall's company in the 7th regiment, is generally accounted a Meriden sol- dier in the Revolution, but he did not move from the Ist society to Meriden until after the war. He was the grandfather of the late Deacon E. C. Allen, of Meri- den, and the late John Allen, of Saybrook.
Ebenezer and Joel Cole were both in Capt. Couch's company in 1776 and probably they were the Meriden men whose Christian names were the same but whose surname was Cowles.
Nathaniel Douglas, Justus Rice, Joel Hall and Thomas Spencer were in Capt. Couch's company but, according to the records, were not captured.
Solomon Rice, who was also in this company, shared the fate of Capt. Couch and for some time languished in a British prison on Long Island.
Samuel Collins was first a musician and later a sergeant in Conn. Line from 1777 to 1781 and went south to Yorktown under Gen. Lafayette.
Phineas Hough was a corporal in Capt. Russell's Company, Wadsworth's Bri- gade, and died in the army August 1, 1776, just after being promoted sergeant. Benjamin Hart and Wait Rice were both pensioners, so they must have served. Israel Johnson was a corporal in Capt. Hall's company and enlisted for three

years in 1777. Isaac Rice was at West Point in 1781 in militia regiment and Jotham Rice was at Yorktown in Lafayette's army in 1783.
No doubt other Meriden men saw service in the Continental army, but their names in the official records, if there they occur, cannot be positively identified as belonging to men from this vicinity. The lack of a middle name, an almost uni- versal custom at the time, and the failure to give the addresses of the great ma- jority of the soldiers in the records, makes it generally unwise to assume an ad- dress.
The British expedition up the Sound, under General Tryon, came to anchor in New Haven harbor about midnight on Sunday, July 4, 1779. No doubt beacon fires and scurrying horsemen soon carried the news through the surrounding coun- try, and probably by daybreak of the 5th, the various militia companies in this and adjoining parts of the state were on the march for New Haven.
The British troops, about 3,000 strong, were landed at daybreak on the east and west shores, and New Haven was soon in possession of the enemy, and several buildings were fired, a number of people killed and numerous outrages committed. On the East Haven side there were many encounters with the local militia and sharp fighting a good part of the day.
The swiftly gathering companies from up the state soon convinced the British that their position was untenable and on the evening of the 6th they embarked and set sail for New York, stopping on the way at Fairfield and Norwalk, where they committed greater devastation and havoc than at New Haven.
From Meriden two companies and from Wallingford one, marched to New Haven, probably starting on the morning of July 5th. The rolls of these com- panies as preserved in the State Library and printed in the Connecticut Historical Society Collections, Vol. VIII.,1 are as follows :

The writer's lack of familiarity with the names of those resident in Walling- ford and Cheshire makes it impossible for him to fully treat the Revolutionary rec- ord of soldiers from those towns as he has tried to give those from Meriden. The names of the officers, however, are so conspicuous in the records that it is an easy task to give a brief record of each.
Colonel Thaddeus Hall was certainly the most prominent military official in Wallingford during the war. He was born in 1728 so that he was not a young man when hostilities began. He served under Washington in the campaign of 1776 and then bore the title of major. He was stationed at first near Fort Lee and then at White Plains and later took part in the battles of Trenton and Prince- ton. He was made a colonel in October, 1776. He took part in the battle of Still- water September 19, 1777, and was under General Gates in his campaign against Burgoyne to the northward.
Lieutenant Colonel Street Hall received his commission July 6, 1775, and was also appointed captain of the Second company : on Sept. 14, 1775, Washington or- dered the regiment to Boston, and he served there until December that year. It does not appear that he saw other service, although possibly he was in Colonel Charles Webb's regiment at White Plains, Trenton and Princeton in 1776 and -777.
Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Cook, who had charge of a company in the Lexing- ton alarm, was also captain of the Seventh company in General Wooster's regi- ment in 1775, and first was stationed at Harlem and Long Island and later marched to General Schuyler's department and took part in operations around Lakes George and Champlain, and afterwards was stationed at Montreal. He was appointed major January 10, 1780, and in June, 1783, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel.
Captain Nathaniel Bunnell was appointed second lientenant of the Ninth
282

Company, First Regiment, May 1, 1775, and served around New York and later at St. John's and Montreal. In 1776 he was a captain of Seventh company, Fifth Battalion, and was at the battles of Long Island and White Plains. He was at Peekskill in 1777 with his company, to serve in aid of Continental Army, and in 1779 responded to the call during Tryon's invasion of New Haven, but the roll of his company is not given. He was apparently a Cheshire man.
Captain Ephraim Chamberlain was commissioned first lieutenant on January I, 1777, and was promoted to captain November 13, 1778. He was continuously in service until 1781. In the Seventh regiment he was at Peekskill in 1777 and in September with Washington in Pennsylvania; was in the battle of German- town, wintered at Valley Forge and in June, 1778 was in battle of Monmouth, and at storming of Stony Point in 1779.
Captain Jarius Wilcox, Lieutenant Titus Hall and Lieutenant John Osborn in 1777 were in a company attached to a regiment of artificers', whose duty it was to serve under the directions of the quartermaster general. It was a pioneer and construction corps and saw service at Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth.
Captain Stephen Osborn and Lieutenant Samuel Hough were in a company at- tached to the same regiment.
Lieutenant John Mansfield was in a company of the Fourth regiment and later in Connecticut Light Infantry, serving from February-November, 1781, under Lafayette : he was in service from 1776 to 1783, and while under Lafayette led a. "forlorn hope" at an assault on a redoubt on October 14 and was wounded and complimented in Colonel Hamilton's report. He was a pensioner in 1818.
Lieutenant Lemuel Hitchcock, of Cheshire, was a sergeant in Captain Bun- nell's company in 1776, and saw service at Battle of Long Island. He was made lieutenant of a company in the Eighth regiment and fought at Germantown, Fort Mifflin, Mud Island, Pa., wintered at Valley Forge, and was at the assault on Stony Point. He was a pensioner in New York state in 1818.
Lieutenant Titus Moss was in Captain Street Hall's company at the siege of Boston.
Lieutenant Levi Munson was engaged in the Montreal expedition under Colonel Ethan Allen in 1775 ; he was captured with the others, and sent a prisoner to Eng- land, and subsequently sent to Halifax where he was confined in a dungeon several months. He served in the Sixth regiment from 1777 to 1780, and his most ser- ious engagement was at Stony Point.
Lieutenant Ambrose Hine began as a corporal in the Eighth regiment in 1777; saw service at Germantown ; wintered at Valley Forge, and was at battle of Mon- mouth ; he was promoted to second lieutenant in the Fifth Battalion, Wadsworth's brigade.
Lieutenant Thomas Shepard was appointed second lieutenant in Captain Cook's company, First regiment, and saw service in the northern department under Gen-

eral Schuyler at Lakes George and Champlain in 1775. He was captain of mil- itia in Tryon's invasion of New Haven but his company is not given.
Lieutenant James Peck took part in the Lexington Alarm, was an ensign in Captain Cook's company of the First regiment in 1775 and served under General Schuyler in the northern department ; in 1776 he was in Colonel Ward's regiment, and took part in battles at White Plains, Trenton and Princeton.
Lieutenant Linus Hopson was in Captain Sizer's company in regiment of ar- tificers.
Lieutenant Hawkins Hart was in Captain Bunnell's company in Fifth Bat- talion of Wadsworth's brigade and took part in battle of Long Island in 1776. Later was in a troop of light horse.
Lieutenant Miles Hull was also in Captain Bunnell's company in 1776. He also marched to the front in Tryon's invasion of New Haven in 1779 as a captain.
Ensign David Hitchcock was also in Captain Bunnell's company in 1776. He was also a captain in the Tryon invasion.
Ensign Samuel Culver, who was in Captain Couch's company at Fort Wash- ington in 1776 was a prisoner from June 29, 1779, to June 2, 1781.
Ensign Jonathan Slead, who took part in the Lexington Alarm, was commis- sioned ensign in the Seventh regiment in 1777, and saw service at Germantown, and wintered at Valley Forge, and perhaps the privations and exposure killed him for he died March 10, 1778.
The following officers joined the order of the Cincinnati:
Lieutenant John Mansfield, Lieutenant H. Peck, Captain Ephraim Chamber- lain and Lieutenant Joseph Shaylor.
Dr. Jared Potter was surgeon of the First regiment in 1775 and again of the Fifth battalion, Wadsworth's brigade, in 1776.
As the first enthusiasm of the war wore away it was found necessary to make an inducement for men to join the army ; accordingly on March 31, 1777, it was "voted, that the town will give a Bounty to those that engage in the Continental service. Voted that each soldier that engages in the Continental service for the quota of Wallingford shall be paid by the town the sum of five pounds lawful money by the year for three years unless sooner Discharged: to be paid by the beginning of each year."
This payment of bounty was carefully recorded, and in April, 1779, the town reported to the State War Department a list of all those to whom bounties had been paid. A second report was made in December, 1779, and at various times lists were furnished of those soldiers whose families were assisted by the town during their absence in the field.
These reports are all on file in the State Library and from them the following list has been prepared of those men of Wallingford who were in the service of the government during the Revolution, but not members of militia companies. It

includes all those who were in service during the years 1778 and 1779, according to the best knowledge of the selectmen, and many during the years 1776, 1777, 1780 and 1781. It embraces Wallingford, Cheshire and Meriden, but does not give the commissioned officers.
