the writer. The title of most of them is recorded on their tomb- stones :-

In October of each year regimental musters were held at dif- ferent places in town. In 1817 there was a brigade muster near Stevens' Corner. In 1821, 1825, and 1827 there were regimental musters on the plain east of the Village Cemetery, on the south side of the turnpike (Winthrop Street). Some of the musters were held also at South Rehoboth. The last muster of the regiment was held under Colonel Lyndal Bowen, Oct. 16, 1833, on the Marvel meadow, just west of the present Post-Office. The line consisted of 300 men extending from east to west, and facing the north. The officers on this occasion were, besides Colonel Bowen: Rev. Otis Thompson, chaplain; Captains George W. Bliss, Philip Nichols, and doubtless others. The earlier companies had become consolidated, e. g., the "Oak Swamp" with the "Palmer's River." One of the lieutenants was Caleb G. Carpenter, with Gardner R. Goff, Ensign. Some of the non-commissioned officers were: Bradford B. Horton, Seth Ballou, Benjamin Bowen 2d, and Sam- uel Macomber, sergeants. The musicians were Leonard Wheeler and Horatio Peck. Most of the men carried muskets, a few car- ried rifles. Colonel Bowen rode a spirited bay horse belonging to Grenville Stevens, and came near being unhorsed.
The regiment, according to custom, formed a square while the chaplain offered his long prayer, sitting on his horse; when it rained, Amos Bowen, more than six feet tall, held an umbrella over him until his arms ached.1
1The writer received an account of this muster from the lips of Col. Bowen himself.

MILITIA OF BRISTOL COUNTY, MASS.
It is worthy of mention that Colonel Bowen with his regiment was appointed to escort President Andrew Jackson on his visit to Pawtucket, June 21, 1833. The regiment was disbanded April 24, 1840, after a history of one hundred and fifty years, all its members being discharged by a general order.
NOTE :- The men had to train from eighteen to forty-five years of age. Each captain had his company out for military inspection on the first Tuesday in May; he also met his company twice in the fall, besides the general muster when the whole regiment met to train. Each man had to arm and equip him- self with musket, a good iron or steel ramrod, a cartridge-box containing twenty- four rounds of cartridges, priming wire and brush, two spare flints and knap- sack. The town furnished cartridges on muster day. The old powder-house stood at the southwest corner of the Village Cemetery.

Plymouth Colony. This monument by order of Government to perpetuate the place on which the late station or Angle Tree formerly stood. The Com- missioners appointed by the old Colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts to run and establish this line in 1664 were Robert Stetson, Constant South- worth, Josias Winslow, Jos. Fisher, Roger Clap and Eleazer Luther. They began this work the 10th of May the same year, and marked a tree then standing on this spot, it being three miles south of the southernmost part of Charles River. Lemuel Kollock, Esq. was appointed Agent to cause this monument to be erected by order of the General Court. The Selectmen of the towns of Wrentham and Attleborough were present, viz: Elisha May, Ebenezer Tyler, and Caleb Richardson Esquires of Attleborough.
From this stone the line runs East 20 degrees and a half North to Accord Pond. Done at Wrentham Nov. 29th 1790 by Samuel Fisher and Samuel Jr.

CHAPTER V REHOBOTH SOLDIERS AND SAILORS IN THE CIVIL WAR
GREAT pains have been taken to make the following list com- plete and accurate. The military archives of the State have been carefully examined for each man's record, revealing numerous errors on the town roster which are now corrected as far as possible. It is found that many Rehoboth men helped to make up the quota of other towns, while, on the contrary, seventeen of the twenty who served Rehoboth in the navy, as well as numerous other recruits, were furnished from outside.
The men from Rehoboth who enlisted in Rhode Island are given according to the roster of that State. Most of these men are claimed by both Rhode Island and Rehoboth. Should litigation arise each case might have to be settled by the Supreme Court. Some of the men, however, served in both states by re-enlistment. Even within the limits of our own state it is doubtful where cer- tain men should be credited. Much complexity arises from the custom of trading in men between towns for the filling of their respective quotas. A man whose service was bought by Re- hoboth, e. g., might later be disposed of to another town, and vice versa; thus leading to error in the town records. The adjutant- general's list, however, is received as authority.
Rehoboth men who are known to be credited elsewhere are given under a separate list, excepting those who enlisted in Rhode Island, who, with few exceptions, are placed in the accredited Rehoboth list.
When the date of one's muster is uncertain, the date of his en- listment, if known, is given.
Credit is given to Sergeant William H. Luther for his courtesy in supplying certain facts within his own observation.
Rehoboth's population in 1860 was 1,932; its valuation was $884,436. The town clerk during the war was Cyrus M. Wheaton, and the town treasurer, George H. Carpenter.
Rehoboth was reported in 1866 to have furnished one hundred and sixty men for the war, which was thought to be less than the
[155 ]
156
HISTORY OF REHOBOTH
actual number. The revised and corrected list here given of ac- credited men shows one hundred and sixty-three, including the seamen.
Between May 10, 1861, and Oct., 1865, inclusive, no less than ten special town meetings were called to act on the enlistment of or provision for the soldiers or their families. We here refer to the more important of these.
At a special town meeting, May 1, 1861, it was voted to raise a company of volunteers and borrow money as might be needed for their equipment. The following committee was appointed for soliciting volunteers: J. C. Marvel, D. G. Horton, N. B. Horton, Harrison Willis, and M. R. Randall.
At a special meeting held July 28, 1862, it was voted to pay a bounty of $125 to each volunteer who shall enlist for three years and be credited to the town, if said quota is filled by September.
At a special meeting, Aug. 14, 1862, it was voted to increase the bounty paid to each volunteer for a three years' enlistment from $125 to $300.
At a meeting held Aug. 22, 1862, it was voted to pay the sum of $200 to each person who shall enlist as a volunteer for the term of nine months to make up the quota of the town of 300,000 lately ordered by the President, and the treasurer shall be author- ized to borrow $6,600.
At a special meeting, Dec. 7, 1863, Nathl. B. Horton was chosen agent to see that the town's quota was filled.
According to Schouler, "Massachusetts in the Civil War," the whole amount of money appropriated and expended by the town on account of the war, exclusive of state aid, was $31,032.26. The amount raised and expended by the town during the four years of war for state aid to soldiers' families and afterwards re- paid by the Commonwealth, amounted to $6,271.62.
The women of Rehoboth contributed to the wants of the soldiers by sending them barrels of clothing and other articles. This was done through "The Home Circle" and "The Congregational Church Home Circle."
