This committee made their report in August of the same year, which was not accepted. But on the 15th of October their report was adopted in substance, and is inserted here because it shows in what kind of service the men from this town had been engaged.


"2ly. Voted six pounds pr month for the two months to Rhode Island, May and June 1777-then voted Ten pounds p' month for the men that went to Bennington, gon five weeks July 20th then voted fif- teen Shillings pr Day to the men that went over ye Mountain on horseback-then Voted Twenty pounds for the Three months' Service Sept. 2ª-then Voted Ten pounds pr man that went for thirty Days to Take Gen1. Burgoyne-then Voted Twenty pounds pr man that went for three months under Capt. Marean to gard Burgoynes men to Cambridge-then Voted four pounds pr month for ye Six months Service at ye Barracks in Rutland-then Voted three pounds pr month for the Turn to Brookfield to Keep Stores- then Voted Twelve Shillings p' Day for ye twenty Days' men that went with Lent Muzzy."


It is probable these sums were for special service rendered by men who were not soldiers, and who had gone without any bounty stipulated by the town. At the same meeting they also voted " To chuse a Comtte whose bisiness Shall be (when there is orders comes for men) to Set the price they will give for men to go that turn if men will Turn out and go for said price then to hire them if they will turn out, then to Draft ye highest payers, and to Draft in proposion to what a man possesses."


October 26, 1778, the town voted to exempt several men from paying taxes, for bounties, because they had hired men for the army, and also voted to give credit to all those who had done more than their part. In June, 1780, four men-Ezekiel Pond, Thos. Durant and William and Timothy Nightingale-were hired for the army, and the sum of ten thousand pounds was raised to aid them and others who might be called for. Then voted "To give ten dollars per month, the old way, to the militia men who enlisted for six months, to be stated in Rye, Indian Corn, Beef, and Sole Leather, and also voted to add $500 in paper to each of the militia now hired." And those who enlisted for three years or for the war were to have "twenty head of three years old cattle, Heifers and Steers, of average value."1 This was done be- cause the currency had so far depreciated that they found it difficult to fix upon any definite sums. Up to this time the several quotas had been filled with- out a draft. But the summer of 1781 was probably the darkest in the whole history of the town. Calls for men had been so often made that probably nearly three-fourths of all who were fit for soldiers had been or were then in the service. There seemed to be no men who could be spared and their means had become almost exhausted in paying the war taxes. Every measure was resorted to which offered any hope of escaping a draft. April 30, 1781, they voted "To divide the town into two parts by the Temple- ton and Rutland road, and each part shall furnish a man for the army for three years." Whether these men were raised does not appear, but it is evident that they failed to furnish all the meu called for, as the order soon came to Captain Slocomb, commander of the militia, for a draft. The selectmen and militia officers made every possible effort to obtain the men, but failed. Another town-meeting was called, the 2d of Jnly, to decide what measures should be adopted. They then chose a committee to consult as to the best means to be adopted. After conferring together for an hour, they reported that in their opin- ion it was best to " class the town." This report was accepted, and it was voted "To class the town into four classes." Then voted "That Capt. Slocomb

postpone the draft till next Monday, and the town clear him of all damage in so doing." All their efforts were fruitless, and when they came together on Monday it was voted "That Capt. Slocomh draft for six months into the Continental Army." The names of the drafted men are not recorded.


On the 16th of the same month a meeting was held "to see what bounties the town will give to the men that are detailed from the militia for six months, five months, and three months, into the service, and what means the town will adopt to furnish the men with spending money." Voted "To give the three months men nine pounds the old way, stated in beef and Indian corn." After an adjournment of two hours it was voted "That the treasurer give his security to the six months', five months' and three months' men, and that Lieut. Nathan Stone give his security to such of the men as choose it."


There is nothing in all the records that more clearly shows the exigencies of the times than this. All they attempted to do was to furnish spending money for the men, and to do this, required the assembled wis- dom of the town. And the fact that they thought indemnity from Nathan Stone was hetter than from the town, as such, shows how low their credit had fallen. It is probable that only one other call for men was made. At the meeting held February 11, 1782, " to see if the town will raise the remainder of the men for the three years' service, and procure money for marching the same," it was voted "to accept of four men which Lieut. Jones, of Carlton, has offered at seventy-five pounds per man." Then voted "to set off to Lieut. Eli Clark, one-seventh part of the town to pay Levi Parmenter, as a soldier, to serve three years in the Continental Army." It is probable that the remainder of the men volunteered.


Occasionally an individual presented a claim for services in the army, which the town would not recognize. November 19, 1781, there was an article in a warrant for town-meeting " To see if the town will make any consideration to Oliver Fairbanks for the service he has Don in the army, extraordinary as he may make it appear." Voted "in the negative."


During all these years the families of soldiers were faithfully provided for at the expense of the town. They received no State aid, as in the War of the Rebel- lion. As early as 1777 a committee was appointed to provide for these families, and one hundred pounds raised for the purpose. Each succeeding year, during the war, some action was taken in relation to this matter, and several appropriations were made, but such was the state of the treasury that few of the bills were presented before 1782. A few specimens of these accounts are inserted here to show the names of some of the soldiers, and how their families were taken care of.


Town of Hubbardston indebt d to me for supplying the women whose hus- hands were in the service of the U. S. for 1778.

Hubhardston, october 8th, 1781.


" The above account was voted as it stands, without any price anext to sª articles."


At the same meeting it was voted to allow "Cap- tain Adam Wheeler for geting three Beriels of Sider by the Desire of the Selectmen for Mr. Stephen Churchs wife, at 3s. per Beriel- -98. For trans- port of sd Sider from Rutland- -48."'


Besides the calls for men, as stated above, and the expense of providing for their families, frequent de- mands were made upon the town to furnish beef for the army. In 1780 the General Court sent an order for 3420 pounds. The town voted to comply with the request, and the currency had so far depreciated that they raised £5130 to pay for it, which would make the cost over seven dollars per pound. On the 1st of January, 1781, another committee was chosen to pur- chase beef, and £10,000 was raised to pay for it. This would make more than $60,000 raised in less than a year, for the purchase of beef. In estimating the sacrifices of those times, we must remember that this money had cost them as much as good money costs in ordinary times. Several other calls were made for beef, and were met, and accounts were allowed for driving cattle to Rutland for the army. Some of the men who took these contracts for heef, and received pay in Continental money, were totally ruined. The currency continued so to depreciate in value that at one time the town voted to allow one silver dollar for seventy-five dollars paper-money. Then it decreased so that ninety dollars would pay only one dollar taxes, and finally the town voted not to receive any more paper-money. The following extract from an old memorandum-hook of Captain John Woods will illustrate still further the worth of money at that time :-


For doing some writing (probably a deed). .. $30 00 For flip (drank, perhaps, while doing it) ... 8 00


For an almanac. 6 00


One year the town voted to pay fifty dollars per day for work on the highways.


In 1782 a vote was passed to hear the report of Daniel Sumner in regard to the paper-money his son took of the town for his services in the army. The same year an article was inserted in the town-meeting warrant, " To see what the town will do with the old average tax that was to raise bounties for the men levied in 1777." Voted " All persons behind in sd average pay up." The same year it was also voted "To set off one-seventh part of the town to John Woods to pay Thomas Durant for three years' service in the army." Also voted "To set off one-seventh to Abijah Greenwood to pay Caleb Newton for three years' service in the army." That was the third

CHAPTER CLI.


HUBBARDSTON-(Continued.)


Shays' Rebellion-War of 1812-War of the Rebellion-Amount expended by Town-Number of Men-Names of Soldiers.


SHAYS' REBELLION .- It is not the writer's purpose to here enter into a detailed history of this outbreak, as it is fully treated elsewhere in this work. It is proper, however, to state that Hubbardston men were prominent in this movement. Among these were William Muzzy, John Woods, Elisha Wood- ward, Joseph Weight and Captain Adam Wheeler. Captain Wheeler ranked next to Daniel Shays in position, and was a leading citizen of the town. He served in the French and Indian War, and was a brave officer in the War of the Revolution, display- ing much heroism in the battle of Bunker Hill. He raised and commanded a company of nearly a hun-


dred men, mostly from this town, in the interests of Shays' Rebellion. Early in September, 1786, with eighty men, he marched to Worcester, and took pos- session of the court-house.7


He finally fled to Canada, and remained there four years, till a proclamation of amnesty was issued by the Governor. In 1791 we find the following record :


Art. 2. To see if the town will grant the petition of Adam Wheeler, which is as follows, viz. : The petition of Adam Wheeler to the town of Hubbardston. Humbly showeth that your said petitioner was at Pelham about four years ago, in the uuhappy disturbance that happened in this county ; and that Dr. Hinds has commenced an action against me which is gone to execution, which is not in my power to discharge. Gentlemen. frienda, fellow-citizens and neighbors ; your petitioner prays for help to discharge said debt and cost, which is £9 48. 9d., and your petitioner as in duty bound will ever pray. ADAM WHEELER.


Voted that the selectmen settle the debt of Capt. Wheeler, in the best and easiest manner possible.


Hubbardston's citizens took an active part in this rebellion, probably for the reason that they were poorer than other towns and their misfortunes greater.


WAR OF 1812 .- The people of Hubbardston were probably not in sympathy with this war. Men did not volunteer, and at one time a draft was made.


In November, 1814, they voted "To make up the sum of $18 per month, with what the Government allows, to those soldiers who had been detached into the service, viz .: Otis Hale, Lowell Leland, Asa Lyon, Daniel Thompson and Bildad Wright." These are the names of all that appear in the records as having served in the army during this war, though we know that others went.


At the time the draft was ordered the men liable to do military duty were organized in two companies. These companies were called out, meeting at the old meeting-house, which was the headquarters of the town, in almost all respects. Plenty of grog was dis- tributed among them, and when they had "well drunk " earnest appeals were made to them to volun- teer. The fife and drum struck up stirring strains, and the men marched in double file through the aisles of the meeting-house, and any who were willing to volunteer were requested to fall into a certain pew. Only one or two could be found to go, and the remainder of the quota was raised by draft. These men were ordered to Fort Warren, in Boston harbor, and guard duty was 'probably the only service they rendered. Some others, who were afterwards citizens of this town, or who enlisted from other places, were in the service. Abijah Clark, going from Rhode Island, was out a few months; Luther Goodspeed was in some of the most bloody battles of the war. He was with Com. McDonough at Plattsburgh and Lake Champlain.


WAR OF THE REBELLION .- Hubbardston promptly responded to the call for troops, and was represented in the first regiment that went from the State.


The town expended eight thousand six hundred and twenty-five dollars for bounties, and two thousand
