"JNO. THOMAS.

" DORCHESTER HILLS, IN A SMALL HUT,

" Mar. 9, 1776.

" Your son Jobn is well and in high spirits. He ran away from Oakeley privately, on Tuesday morning, and got by the eentries, and came to me, on Dorchester Hills, where he has been most of the time since."

This son, John, had been left in care of his father's colored servant, Oakeley, when they left Roxbury for Dorchester Heights. Many persons now living well recollect him (Col. John Thomas), for he lived to an advanced age, dying Feb. 21, 1853, aged eighty-

seven years. Throughout his life this ineident of his boyhood was remembered by him with mueh pleasure, being connected as it was with a famed military movement in the early days of the Revolution. Bos- ton was evacuated by the British on the 17th of Mareh, and as the Congress had been looking for an offieer to command the troops led into Canada by Montgomery and Arnold, Gen. Thomas was selected for that purpose. He was promoted to the rank of major-general on the 6th of March, and after seeing the British army and fleet leave his native provinee, . he took his departure for Canada. He made great exertions to join the army, and arrived there on the first day of May, where he found his whole foree to consist of nineteen hundred men, but less than one thousand, including officers, were fit for duty, and three hundred of these were entitled to a discharge, so they could refuse to do duty. Even this force was necessarily divided to oeeupy different posts on the St. Lawrence, and had he been attacked, would not have been able to bring more than three hundred men together at any one point. Ammunition and provisions were low, and many of the soldiers were sick with the smallpox. Under all these cireum- stanees, Gen. Thomas considered it useless and dan- gerous to continue before the town of Quebee with- out any hope of taking it. He ealled a eouneil of war on the 5th of May, and it was determined to move the army higher up the river than where it had been stationed. On the evening of the same day a British fleet eame up the river, and the next morning appeared in sight. In the afternoon, seeing that the enemy were to attack them, Gen. Thomas, with the advice of the field-officers, deeided not to risk an action, but ordered the troops to retreat still farther up the river, and as this was done in great haste, many of the siek, with the military stores, were taken by the enemy. It had been the one great hope and desire of the Congress, and the Revo- lutionists in general, to take and keep possession of Canada, but all their efforts failed, and disaster and misfortune seemed to follow the army in rapid sue- eession. While waiting at Chamblee, on the River Sorel, Gen. Thomas fell siek with the smallpox of the most malignant kind, and while anxiously wait- ing the expected reinforcements, he died on the 2d of June, 1776, aged fifty-two years. Thus died a noble offieer, who only lived to see the very begin- ning of the war of the Revolution, even before Con- gress had given to the world the Declaration of Amer- ican Independence, but within that short period he aeted an important part. Dr. John Eliot, in a note to a memoir of Gen. Sullivan, says of Gen. Thomas :

HISTORY OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY.

" He was an officer who had acquired reputation in the French war. He was one of the best officers in our army in 1775, and commanded the division nearest the British lines in Roxbury. A more brave, beloved, and distinguished character did not go into the field, nor was there a man that made a greater sacrifice of his own ease, health, and social enjoyments." Gen. Thomas left a widow and three children. Mrs. Thomas died in 1819, aged eighty-eight years. Their daughter, Hannah, became the wife of Rev. Zephaniah Willis, and died Aug. 8, 1834, aged seventy-two years. John, of whom we have previ- ously spoken, was the elder son, and Nathaniel died Aug. 1, 1846, aged seventy-seven years.

GEN. PELEG WADSWORTH was the son of Dea- con Peleg Wadsworth, of Duxbury, and was born April 25, 1748. His father intended that he should study for the ministry, but after he had graduated from Harvard College, in 1769, he opened a private school in Plymouth. Mr. Scammel, afterwards Gen. Scammel, of Revolutionary fame, was his intimate friend in college, and likewise taught in Plymouth. At the time just previous to the breaking out of the Revolution he was keeping a store in this town, and took a great interest in teaching young men in the use of fire-arms, for minute companies were being formed in every town in this vicinity. He was chosen captain of the Kingston company, and the men were all interested in him, he all the while inspiring them with true patriotism. The part he took in the move- ment against Balfour, at Marshfield, has been noticed in the " Annals," page 263. In September, 1775, he joined the army at Roxbury, and was afterwards aid to Gen. Ward. In 1776 he was appointed captain in Col. Bailey's regiment, and in 1777 he received the appointment of brigadier-general from the State, and had command of the district of Maine. In 1778 he was chosen second in command of an expedition against the British on the Penobscot River, but that failed of success. He had the command of a detach- ment of State troops at Camden, Me., in 1780, and there was captured by the enemy and taken prisoner, and was to have been taken to England for trial, but he escaped from his confinement. After the war he became a successful merchant in Portland, and was a member of Congress for eight years. He received from the State for his services a large tract of land on the Saco River, and afterwards removed and settled there, where he died in 1829. His son, Alexander Scammel, was second lieutenant on board the " Con- stitution" when she captured the " Guerriere." An- other son, Henry, was lieutenant in the navy, and was under Commodore Preble at the siege of Tripoli,

where he fell, Sept. 4, 1804, in his twentieth year. Our late renowned poct, Henry Wadsworth Long- fellow, took his name from this young officer, who was his uncle, Mr. Longfellow's mother being the daughter of Gen. Wadsworth. The services of the general in connection with the Kingston minute company of 1775, and his interest in the training of the young men at that time, made his name a familiar and honored one to all the people of that generation as long as they lived and remembered his acts and labors ; and it is hoped that this simple record of his services will serve to keep his name in remembrance by the descendants of those who so honored him.

MAJ. SETH DREW .- The subject of this sketch was born in this town June 13 (N. S.), 1747, and was the fifth son of Cornelius and Sarah (Bartlett) Drew. He learned the trade of a shipwright, and continued in that occupation until the commence- at ment of the Revolution. He joined the company of minute-men that was formed in the town about 1774, and we find at the commencement of hostilities he was the lieutenant of said company, under the com- C mand of Capt. Peleg Wadsworth, and was soon after called into the service. When the news of the battle of Lexington reached Kingston he was at work graving in the ship-yard, a process for cleaning the bottoms of vessels, and for that purpose it was cus- D tomary to set fire to a tar-barrel and pass it under the vessel, so as to burn or melt off the old substance that it was desired to remove. He had just lighted d b one and commenced using it, when his brother James came into the yard with the exciting news. He passed the burning barrel to another workman, and immediately left to join his company. On the 21st of April they marched to attack Balfour's com- pany at Marshfield, an account of which is given in the " Annals" on page 263. He received his regular commission as lieutenant July 1, 1775, and on the 1st of January, 1776, he was commissioned as first f lieutenant. During the siege of Boston he was in the most exposed camp of the besieging army at Roxbury, under the command of Col. Thomas, his fellow-townsman. A few years ago a letter was found, written by him that winter to his sister, Mrs. Lurana Bartlett, wife of Capt. Joseph Bartlett, and it is the only letter known to be in existence that he wrote to his friends during the whole time of the war. The letter is here given in full ;

" CAMP AT ROXBURY, 29 Jan., 1776.

" DEAR SISTER,-As I was so unfortunate as not to see you tho last time I was in Kingston, will by theso few lines, instead of a personal interview, let you know that my friends aro not out of mind whon out of sight. Can writo you no nows more

than this, that I am very well, and our company all hut one soldier, who is very sick. There is great preparation making here, hut can only guess for what purpose. We have had sev- eral deserters out of Boston, hut learn no news from them, ex- cept that they expect a large reinforcement in the spring, and then to drive us as they will; hut I hope they will he so far disappointed as that they will be glad to leave Boston before March. All things remain very peaceable vet, and at times can hardly believe myself in camp and within cannon-shot of the enemy. We learn there is a large train of artillery, almost sixty pieces, arrived at Watertown, hut I believe you hear more news than we do here. I understand there is more mili- tia coming down. but I hope the same that came before will not come again, and helieve there's hut little danger of them from Kingston. I did intend to have made a visit to Kingston before this time, which made me stay so little while when I was there last. hut I have waited, until general orders forbid any officers going home; but my family I hear are in comfortable circumstances. so I am noways uneasy ahout going home at present. Give my compliments to Capt. Bartlett; tell him I shall be glad to wait upon him again at Roxbury. So no more at present, hut hope when this unnatural war shall be ended, we shall meet in peace, when these light afflictions shall seem to have heen bnt for a moment. This from your affectionate and loving hrother,

"SETH DREW."

After the British evacuated Boston, in March, the Continental forces gradually marched to New York and vicinity, and at the close of the year 1776 Drew was at Trenton, and was in active service at the mem- orable battle there on the night of December 25th. During that night he left his company for a moment to ascertain the cause of a mysterious movement going on in a house, when he was accosted by a sol- dier, whom he supposed to be an American, but soon discovered to be a Hessian. He instantly stepped back to his ranks, and was as soon fired upon. The ball just missed him, but took effect upon one of the men. Mr. Kimball Ripley (father of the late Daniel Ripley), wounding him quite severely. In the au- tumn of 1777 he was at Saratoga, and was in the front of battle when Gen. Burgoyne surrendered to Gen. Gates. In June, 1778, he was engaged on the field at Monmouth, and that battle seemed to leave a more lasting impression upon his mind than any of his other experiences in the war. He ranked as captain in the Second Massachusetts Regiment after Jan. 1, 1777. All through the campaign at West Point and vicinity in 1779-80 he was in active ser- vice, and was one of the court-martial that tried Joshua H. Smith for being an accomplice of Maj. André. He received a major's commission before the close of the war, and afterwards another ranking him as major by brevet, which was a mistake, as it would have ranked him as colonel, but he never cared to have it rectified, and thus carried the title of major throughout his life.

by Governor Samuel Adams. On the 15th of Sep- tember, 1808, he was appointed by Gen. Henry Dearborn, Secretary of War, an agent to superin- tend the erection of forts at the Gurnet, in Plymouth Harbor, and at Fairhaven. He represented the town in the General Court for the years 1794-95, 1797, 1803-4, and was the postmaster for many years, and after his death his widow continued in the office. He married Hannah Brewster (a direct descendant of Elder Brewster), Dec. 3, 1772, who through all the years of the Revolution during the absence of her husband, conducted the affairs of her family with great prudence and foresight, even to the most rigid economy. Maj. Drew, after returning from the scenes of war, resumed his old occupation as a ship- wright, and, after living an honored and useful life, died peacefully on the 18th day of May, 1824, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. His widow died April, 1832, aged eighty years.

Four children survived them,-Hannah, born 1776, married Eli Cook, Esq., and died in 1861. Seth, born 1778, well remembered by many of the present generation as one of the founders, and for many years a deacon, of the Baptist Church, prominent in all the reformatory movements in the town, and ready for every good work. He succeeded his father as mem- ber of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati, and was one of its standing committee at the time of his death. He represented the town in the General Court, 1835, 1837, and 1842. His death took place Jan. 20, 1854. Sylvia, born 1785, married Thomas Cushman, and died 1865. Francis, born 1788, and died Dec. 9, 1862. He was interested and well in- formed in regard to the historical affairs of his native town, and the diary he left has been of assistance in compiling this sketch of the town.

CAPT. HEZEKIAH RIPLEY was the son of Heze- kialı and Abigail (Hunt) Ripley, and was born in Duxbury, 1751. His parents afterwards lived and died in Kingston. He entered the army, and was soon commissioned as lieutenant in Bailey's Second Regiment, June 1, 1777, lieutenant and adjutant, 1780, brigade quartermaster, 1783. His residence was at the Nook, near the place where John How- land, the Pilgrim, lived, and there he died, Oct. 18, 1841, in his ninetieth year. He married Hannah Tilden, who died June 17, 1860, aged ninety-four. Their children were Joseph T., who died Fcb. 27, 1856, aged seventy ; Kenelm, who married Lydia Otis, and was lost at sea December, 1830, aged thirty-eight ; George, who died in New York, April 2, 1848, aged fifty-four; Harvey, who died in Cali-

CHAPTER VII.

INDUSTRIES-BURIAL-GROUNDS-CIVIL LIST- STATISTICS.

Ship-Building .- This has been one of, if not the most important of industries of the town from a very early date, and continued to be so until about 1860. Before the separation from Plymouth, vessels were built on Jones River and vicinity. As far as is now known, the first building-yard was that of Mr. Caleb Stetson's, at Stony Brook "landing-place," a locality hardly known to the people of the present generation. It was situated close by the old brick-yard belonging to the late Deacon Foster, and near to the place where trees are now growing in the meadow. Per- sons now living recollect of vessels going there to be loaded with bricks, but Deacon Foster stated a few years before his death that it had not been used as a landing-place for merchandise since the year 1766, when a vessel laden with lumber came to the wharf there, and it was used in building the house of Nathan Bradford, the same now standing on the estate of the late Thomas Bailey.

in 1714, a portion of land is described as being " near to the landing place where Caleb Stetson's building yard was wont to be," so that probably the business was carried on elsewhere previous to the time last mentioned. May 8, 1727, Caleb Stetson sells part of a vessel to John Brewster, " for and in consideration of Fifty ninc pounds Good and Lawfull money of New England, One quarter part of the Hull or body of a New Deekt Sloop by me built and Launched into Jones River, in Kingston, some time in March last, called the ' Kingston,' Burthen about Forty One Tonns."

About the year 1729 the Drews began ship-build- ing in the town, in connection with the Stetsons. Their ancestor, John Drew, who arrived in Plymouth about 1660, was a ship-builder, and some of his de- scendants down to the fifth generation have been engaged in the same business, and always had a repu- tation in Duxbury and Kingston, as well as in Plym- outh, of being superior workmen. Samuel Drew was in Duxbury 1713 (where his son, Samuel, who died in 1800, afterwards lived), but eame to Kingston with his eldest son, Cornelius, at the time before men- tioned, and died 1739. Cornelius Drew lived until 1762, when his sons, William, James, Zenas, Seth, Abijah, and Cornelius succeeded to the business, either as owners or builders. During the war of the Revolution they built the government ships " Mars" and " Independence."
