To recruit the forces for these campaigns, men enlisted freely from New England towns. In the army raised to seize Crown Point, there are said to have been ten Southampton soldiers. Two of them, Eliakim Wright and Ebenezer Kings- ley, Jr., were killed in battle. Eight survivors returned to their homes. The documents from which these items are gathered fail to give their names.

During the year 1756 a number of soldiers were in the service from Southampton, but their names do not appear in the town records or other authorities, except that Elisha Bas- com is named as having served longer than others.

In the terrible tragedy at Fort William Henry, in 1757, when the prisoners were ruthlessly butchered after surrender, two from Southampton-Nathaniel Loomis and Joel Clapp- were stripped and plundered, and escaped only with life after a hot pursuit and passing through the woods fourteen miles. The annals of the period also indicate that Southampton men were in the battles at Fort Ticonderoga, 1758. Doubtless, too, some of these men remained in the service, and were with the victorious army that captured Quebec and laid the foun- dation of the general peace that followed.

Southampton evidently bore its share in the "old French war," and it is a matter of regret that a complete list of the heroes of that struggle has not been preserved.

In the thickening troubles that preceded the Revolutionary struggle, even as early as 1768, the men of Southampton were already intently studying the great questions at issue.

In that year, Rev. Mr. Judd proposed that if the struggle did come between the colonies and the mother-country, his salary should be reduced to as low a point as could be reason- ably thought proper. Samuel Burt and Aaron Clark were delegates to the Northampton Convention, and Deacon Elias Lyman to the Provincial Congress that met at Concord, Oet. 11, 1768. The town committee of correspondence consisted

of JONATHAN JUDD, SAMUEL BURT, ELIAS LYMAN, AARON CLARK, SAMUEL POMEROY, SAMUEL CLAPP, and ISRAEL SHELDON. A company of Minute-Men was raised, and the town voted to hire a competent instructor for them in the military art, and to pay the men for their time while engaged in drilling.

The historians speak of Noah Burt as particularly active. On the receipt of the news from Lexington, he took one horse from the team with which he was plowing, left the other to a boy to take care of, and went his way to the post of danger. Ilis wife and daughters took care of the farm, entering the fields sickles in hand and securing the grain.

One of these daughters married Mr. Cook, of Norwich, and was the mother of John Cook, now living at Huntington village. lle relates many incidents that his mother used to tell in his childhood about the old times of the Revolution. Her father was enrolled as a Minute-Man. His knapsack was ready packed, and gun loaded, waiting for any call that might come. The battle of Lexington had occurred, but the news had not reached Southampton. Noah Burt was plowing, as stated, when a single report of cannon at Northampton (the signal agreed upon for alarm) told the story of danger. Riding one of the horses to the house, the wife handed him the gun and the knapsack, and he went his way to join the soldiers that were gathering at the sound of that signal-gun.

Mr. Cook also gives a family story, illustrating the hard- ships of that time, and the rough work which the women did. Out of fodder for the cattle, Mrs. Burt managed to harness an unbroken colt with an older horse, and went some distance for a load of straw. Returning, the team ran, the load was lost off all along the road, but the intrepid woman herself stayed on the wagon, and the team, by the aid of a neighbor, was finally secured ; and the writer infers she drove back and loaded up the straw.

Nine days after the battle of Lexington this district voted to pay for two-thirds of the provisions for Capt. Lemuel Pomeroy's company, and a committee of nine was appointed to collect the provisions and send them on by team.

The town records show many votes taken upon Revolution- ary matters. In 1781 the town voted to raise £200 in silver or gold, and £4000 in Continental money, toward " raising our quota of soldiers." In raising the 5000 men called for by the General Court, June 25, 1776, the quota of Southampton was 17 men. Previous to that, in January, 1776, the quota of blankets called for from Southampton was 6. At the Lex- ington alarm, 46 men went from Southampton, under com- mand of Capt. Lemuel Pomeroy.

From the treasurer's book we take these Revolutionary items :

Received a receipt from the selectmen, Elias Lyman and Stephen Wright, which sheweth that Nathaniel Searl, Jr., has received seven pounds and four shillings, five pence, and three farthings, in order to uphold the district stock of ammunition. The above entered by Samuel Edwards, Treasurer.

Southampton, Aug. 6, 1777, received order from the selectmen to discharge Ensign Nathaniel Scarl the sum of twenty pounds that he received of the town to nphold the town stock of ammunition.

The above entered by Samuel Edwards, Treasurer.

Dec. 12, 1774 .-- "Order the 5th from the selectmen for what the Treasurer let Deacon Lyman have for his charges in going to the first Cougress, 2 pounds, 8 shillings, 9 pence."

The following records in the town books, including the ex- tract from Mr. Judd's letter, give a clear view of the prompt and decisive way in which the fathers met the troubles of the Revolutionary period :

From Rev. Mr. Judd's letter of April 7, 1766 :

"Further, I would say that your committee seemed to think that from the Stamp Act, or from some other apparent difficulties, people might be greatly re- duced and brought into distress; that it might be difficult to pay the above-men- tioned salary. I therefore said to them, and now say to you, that if such a day of distress and diffienlty should come, I will join with a committee of yours, and they and I will reduce the salary as low as it can be reasonably thought proper; and I hope this will satisfy you as fully as it did your whole committee."

Oct. 3, 1774 .- At a meeting of the inhabitants of the district of Southampton to see what measures they shall thiuk proper to do in this critical day, voted,

The following note, from the appendix to the centennial address of Prof. B. B. Edwards, gives about all the informa- tion that can be obtained as to those from Southampton who were in the army of the Revolution :

" Among those who were engaged in the eight months' service at Cambridge, in 1775, were Capt. Abner Pomeroy, Sergt. Lemuel Rust, Sergt. Gershom Pome- roy, Corp. Stephen Clapp, Corp. Samuel Edwards, and Corp. Ezekiel Wood, together with fourteen privates. Stephen Clapp (born 1749, and a brother of Jtoger Clapp) died of a fever near Boston, August, 1775. Ebenezer Gee, one of the: privates, went on the Quebec expedition. Obadiah Frary, of Southampton, Was killed and scalped by the Indians, August, 1777, on a retreat to Stillwater from Moses Creek, near Fort Edward. Elisha Elwards was in his company. Stephen Sheldon, brother of Simeon, died in a wagon in Gates' army. Deacon Roswell Strong was with him. Darius Searl died in the service, probably on Long Island. Aaron Strong was killed by a cannon-ball in an intrenchment at Saratoga. Oliver Pomeroy, a son of Capt. Aber Pomeroy, died in the service near the close of the war. It is believed that a young man by the name of Hall, a son of Jolin Hall, also lied in the army.

" In June, 1779, the General Court ordered a reinforcement for the Continental army. The proportion of Southampton was six.

" At another time the following soldiers from Southampton were engaged in the service : Sergt. Jacob Pomeroy, Joseph Bartlett, Elisha Bundy, Samuel Cole- man, Silas Pomeroy, Gal Pomeroy, Noble Squires, and Phineas Searl. The last named was in Capt. John Carpenter's company. The others were in Capt. Eben- ezer Pomeroy's company."

To this should be added the name of Lemnel Bates, who shared in the hardships of Arnold's march through the woods of Maine, and in the subsequent attack upon Quebec.

It is evident that nearly all the men capable of bearing arms were in the Revolutionary service at one time and another. Prof. B. B. Edwards adds :

" The people of Southampton wero not at all behind their neighbors. They were ready to contribute and suffer at any moment. The young men marched to the scenes of conflict, while the elders, the anxious mothers and sisters, were offering intercession to Him whose hand alone could turn aside the unerring rifle, or stay the pestilence that delighteth especially to walk in the camp of the sul- dier. The old people have told ns that at some periods during the war hardly a young man was present in the religious assemblies. The various burdens inei- dent to these times were shared by all with affecting unanimity. Those who could not fight could load a wagon with provisions or drive it to the encampment of their brothers and fellow-townsmen. Such as were too infirm to bear a musket themselves gladly joined together and gathered the harvest of those who were hemming the British in at Boston, or who, with Col. Brooks, were storming the redoubt at Saratoga."

The general accounts of Shays' rebellion do not show that Southampton had much share in it. Probably some of her citizens were, however, among the disaffected, but their names and deeds have not been preserved.

In 1812, Luther Edwards and John Lyman were the dele- gates of Southampton in the anti-war convention at North- ampton, July 14th. What other part was taken by South- ampton in that struggle with England does not appear.

WAR OF 1861-65.

The first legal meeting to consider war matters in the event- ful year of 1861 was held October 14th. It was voted to pay to each wife, and to each child under sixteen years of age, and to each parent, brother, or sister of those who have volunteered or who may hereafter volunteer in the service of the United States, and are dependent upon them for support, the sum of $1 a week " when found necessary," and the treasurer was authorized to borrow $500 for that purpose. The records show that many enlistments had taken place without waiting for town action. Men from Southampton were in some of the

earliest regiments that marehed soon after the surrender of Fort Sumter. March 17, 1862, the selectmen were instructed to borrow whatever sum of money might be necessary to carry out the provisions of the law with reference to State aid to families of volunteers. September 2d, voted to pay a bounty of $100 to each volunteer for nine months. No official action was taken during 1863, but the patriotic work went on; men continued to enlist, and much labor was performed in the way of sending supplies for the suffering and destitute, the sick and the wounded. It was voted in 1864 to pay a bounty of $125 each for volunteers for three years, and to veterans re-enlisting $25 additional ; $1950 was appropriated for this purpose. This bounty was continued to the end of the war, and the quotas required of the town were promptly filled either by enlistment of citizens or hiring of recruits. May 22, 1865, the treasurer was authorized to borrow $3266 to reini- burse individuals who had advanced money to encourage re-

cruiting during the year 1864. The long agony was over, peace had come, and the town faithfully met its obligations to citizens who had advanced money in the dark days of the previous year.

Schouler's history states that Southampton furnished 127 men for the war, which was a surplus of 16 over and above all demands ; 5 were commissioned officers. The whole amount of aid paid by the town was $10,808.12. The assessed valua- tion of the town in 1860 was $496,462, and the population was 1130.

Aid to families reimbursed by the State : 1861, 892.28; 1862, $1131.86; 1863, $2013.61 ; 1864, $1662.21 ; 1865, $1000; total, $5899.96.

The following list, prepared from the military reports of the State, from the record in the town clerk's office, and by inquiry, is supposed to contain the name of every citizen of Southamp- ton who served in the army of 1861-65 :
