The three last mentioned persons were the officers of the battery of Light Artillery which, with local volunteers, endeavored to resist the passage of the river at our village by the 4,000 British invaders of 1778, resulting in what the writer has already stated, the Battle of Acushnet Bridge. Capt. James Cushing returned to his home near Boston; Lieut. James Metcalf was buried soon after this battle where he was mortally
re
189
wounded, in Acushnet soil, and Capt. William Gordon did not return to his home to live, but passed the remainder of a long and useful life in this town.
The record of Spooners of Acushnet in the military service of the Revolutionary War is a remarkable one. The writer believes that more persons of one surname were in the war for our independence of British sovereignty who were natives of the little town of Acushnet than served therein from any other one town in the country. That name was Spooner. A spirit of patriotism, loyalty and courage was predominant in that generation of the Spooners of this town. These soldiers were all descend- ants of John Spooner, who was among the> earliest land owners and inhabitants here. Of the more than a score of native born Spooners of the territory of present Acushnet in the service, were :
Simpson Spooner marched to the relief of Lexington, April 21, 1775.
Caleb Spooner was made a prisoner of war during the Revolution and returned on the cartel "Swift" from Halifax in 1777.
Seth Spooner enlisted in August, 1780, in Capt. Thomas Crandon's company, and had other service.
Thomas Spooner was at the battle of Bunker Hill, and at New York when the British forces occupied that city in 1776.
John Spooner was a Minute Man of April 21, 1775. Later he was in Capt. Thomas Kempton's and other companies.
Micah Spooner responded to the Lexington alarm in 1775, and in 1780 was in Capt. Thomas Crandon's company.
Philip Spooner served in the same companies with his brother Micah above.
Samuel Spooner enlisted as Private in Captain Manasseh Kempton's company, and was Sergeant of Capt. Samuel Tubb's company of Col. Timothy Walker's regiment.
James Spooner was in Capt. Benjamin Dillingham's company; later in Capt. Thomas Kempton's company, and afterwards in other companies. He served in the French and Indian war, when he was in Capt. James Andrews's company.
Benjamin Spooner was a drummer of Dartmouth Minute Men who marched to the relief of Lexington, April 21, 1775. Later he was in Col. Denny's regiment on the Hudson river.
John Spooner was a Sergeant in Capt. Manasseh Kempton's company in 1777, and a Corporal in Capt. Perez Cushing's company the next year.
Benjamin Spooner was a Sergeant of Capt. Amos Washburn's com- pany of Col. Ebenezer Sprout's regiment.
Jeremiah Spooner was in Capt. Henry Jenney's company of the 2d regiment, Bristol Co. Vol., Col. John Hathaway.
Bigford Spooner was one of Capt. Samuel Reed's company, which
190
"marched to the Jerseys" in 1776. He was also in Capt. B. Woodbury's company.
Ruggles Spooner was in the French and Indian war in 1757. Also in the Revolutionary War.
Lemuel Spooner was killed in the service.
Gardner Spooner served in the companies of Capt. Thomas Crandon and Capt. Benjamin Dillingham of this town.
Nathaniel Spooner was in the Privateer service; was taken prisoner on the "Hope;" exchanged in 1777. Later entered the service, where he continued for some time.
Ward Spooner was one of the Minute Men of April 21, 1775.
William Spooner was in Capt. James Lincoln's company. He served nearly three years in the war.
Zoeth Spooner served in Capt. Daniel Drake's company in Col. Drury's regiment. They were on the North river in 1781.
Benjamin Spooner was on the rolls of Lieut. Jackson's company, July 9, 1780.
Samuel Spooner served in Capt. Henry Jenney's company of Col. John Hathaway's regiment.
Of the Spooners in the service whose fathers were natives of the tract which is now Acushnet, there were Micah, Thomas, Ebenezer, William, Alden, Charles, Samuel, Thomas, Jeduthan, Cornelius, Ruggles, Wing, Charles, Clapp, Stevens, Benjamin, Uriah, Walter, Daniel, Eliakim, Wing, and Shearjashub. The last four were sons of Deacon Daniel and his father was Samuel Spooner, whose homestead was bounded on the north by the east and west road through Acushnet village. Also Zepheniah, Samuel, Thomas and Charles, four sons of Amaziah and Lydia (Fay) Spooner.
These persons who had Spooner mothers were in the service : Daniel, Timothy and Edward Ruggles, sons of Lucy Spooner and Edward Ruggles; John, Zepheniah and Elnathan Jenney, sons of Abigail Spooner and John Jenney.
Walter, above, was son of John Spooner and his wife who was Beulah Spooner, served as an officer with Commodore John Paul Jones. In 1776 they captured the brigantine "Active."' Commodore Jones then issued the following order :
"Ship Alford, 12 Nov., 1776. Off the Coast of Cape Breton.
"Sir :- You are hereby appointed commander of our prize, the brigantine 'Active' from Liverpool to Halifax. You are directed to proceed with all possible dispatch for the State of North Carolina, and deliver your charge (the brigantine Active with my letters) with Richard Smith, the agent at Edenton. I request you to be very careful to keep a good lookout to prevent your being surprised or retaken ; and must by no means break bulk, or destroy any part of the cargo or stores, except what may be absolutely nec-
191
essary for your subsistence during your passage. If you find it impossible to reach and get into North Carolina, you are at liberty to go into any other of the U. S. of N. A. I wish you a safe and speedy passage, and am, Sir, your most obedient and humble
JOHN PAUL JONES.
"To Mr. Walter Spooner, Lieut. of the ship of war, the " Alford" and commander of the "Alford's" prize, the brigantine "Active."
"N. B .- When off the bar Orkicock, you are to hoist the jack or ensign under port of your jib boom, as a signal for a pilot, and hoist your ensign Union down."
Lieutenant Spooner sailed his prize into the harbor of Newport, R. I., where he resided, thirteen days after the date of the above order.
The names of other Acushnet men who were in the ranks of the Continental army appear in the company rolls on other pages of this work.
ROLL OF HONOR OF SOLDIERS AND SAILORS OF THE CIVIL WAR
My endeavor to prepare for this book a list of all the men of the Civil War who went from Acushnet or were credited to the quota of this town, with even a brief word of their service, has been very discouraging and unsatisfactory, large- ly from the failure of relatives and friends of these self-sacrificing men to co-operate with me. There is nothing in the records of this town to aid one in this work except a list of names opposite some of which is given a com- pany and regiment. Little of dates of enlistment and discharge; whether volunteers, or drafted, or substitutes; of what town they were natives or residents or to what one they were credited. Surprisingly few responses have been received to my advertisements for information in regard to the lives and army and navy service of these men. Much research of state. town and home records has been expended in obtaining what little is stated below, which is presented with regrets at my inability to give more of the story of courageous deeds and the hardships and sufferings of these, my comrades-these Soldiers and Sailors of the Civil War.
"The eternal camping ground" has been reached by most of those men, who, with the few of the list that remain, dared to face the foemen of our Union in the years of its extremity and assisted to accomplish the result of the furious struggle of 1861-65. They merit all that is implied in these lines of the poet :
O, men of the nation! O, men of the blue ! Out from the heart comes a requiem for you; From hill top and valley, from prairie and sea,
The shout of the millions, One Nation Are We; No more may war's reveille open the day,
But peace wreathe her chaplet forever and ave.
Nearly, if not quite all, of the men in the following list were in some way related to this town, either by birth or at some time residents or
192
served in the Civil War to its credit. Many of them were natives of the town :

WHALING MASTERS AND WHALERS
Acushnet has probably furnished more com- manders of whaling vessels than any other town in the United States in proportion to its popula- tion. These captains have hunted the oily leviathans of the ocean in every sea on the globe; they have courageously met every danger and endured all the hardships of the cruise; they are recorded as having had their share of greasy luck. Several of those masters who were born elsewhere spent their lives after retiring from the service in this town. It is said that in the days of the height of the whaling industry one might address every man he met in going about town by the title of captain and make few mistakes.
.
WHALING SCENES IN WHALING DAYS
The first whaling craft from the Acushnet river were built and fitted out from the vicinity of our village. They were sloops and schooners. They were out in warm weather only, and caught their whales between here and the capes of Virginia. There were no try works on them to extract the oil from the blubber. Try works were built on the land here. The blubber was brought home on the decks of the vessels, which were
H.
196
hauled up broadside to the rudely constructed wharf, and from there the blubber was carted to stationary try works.
The following is a partial list of whaling captains who have been or are now residents of, and nearly all of them were born in this town. The record of sea service of those with a * will be found in the biographi- cal section of this book ..
In Starbuck's History of the Whaling Interests of New England appear the following names of persons who were captains in that branch of industry :
1731. Thomas Hathaway.
1736. Benjamin Dillingham.
1768. Gamaliel Spooner, Louis Taber, Obed Nye.
1769. Benjamin Dillingham.
1770. Benjamin Dillingham, Lazarus Spooner.
1771. Thomas Manter, Richard Whelden.
1772. Benjamin Jenney, Obed Nye.
1773. Michael Hathaway, Benjamin Jenney, Samuel Manter, Obed Nye, Edward Wing.
1775. Job Spooner.
1778. Daniel Bennett, Benjamin Dillingham, Robert Hathaway.
1789. Robert Hathaway, Obed Nye.
1792. Joseph Bennett.
Capt. Richard Whelden was captured about January 1, 1771, by "Spanish guarda costa" on the south side of Hispanola.
One of the largest voyages reported in this history was one made by the ship Envoy. It cost $8,000 to fit her for the voyage and her catch sold for $132,000.
