Sherman, Lemuel Sherman, John Solomon (In- dian,) John Spooner, Giles Tallman, Joseph Traf- ford, Lettice Washburn, Nathan Waste, privates: amounting to fifty-eight, all from Dartmouth, with the exception of three, -Louis De Mo- ranville, Freetown; Phineas Hammond, Roch- ester; and David Lewis, Rhode Island. The time of enlistment was in the month of May, 1775. The time of service, with a few exceptions, was three months; the shortest, one month and twelve days. Their head-quarters was Roxbury ; the al- lowance, one penny per mile for travel; greatest distance of travel, sixty-nine miles ; least, fifty-seven. The amount the Captain received for this cam- paign was £18 10 s. 12 d .; the First Lieutenant, £12 16 s. 4 d .; the Second Lieutenant, £10 18 s. 9 d .; the four Sergeants, £5 15 s. 7 d., £5 9 s., £5 15 s. 7 d., £5 2 s. 12 d .; the four Corporals, £4 12 s. 2 d., £2 18 s. 8 d., £5 3 s., £3 1 s; the fifer, £4 10 s. 10 d .; the drummer, £5 3s. These were the amounts paid after deducting what had been charged for supplies. The difference in the amounts paid to the officers, as well as the privates, was mainly owing to the greater or less supplied them. This old muster-roll contains twenty-three columns, under the following heads, viz. : "Men's names; " "Towns whence they came; " "Rank; " "Time of enlistment; " "Travell;" " Amount at 1 d. a mile;" " Time of service ;" " Whole amount; " " Guns;" "By whom supplyed;" "Price;" "Bay- onets; " "Of whom received;" "Price;" " Cart- ridge Boxes ;" " Of whom received; " " Price ; "

The amount paid for travel, £14 5 s. 10 d. The whole amount allowed each private before discount ranged from a little more than &4 to £6 10 s. The number of guns sup- plied was twenty-six,-amount for same £41 10 s .; four bayonets, with sheaths and belts, supplied by Jireh Swift, amounting to 8 s. 2 d .; thirty car- tridge-boxes, supplied by Jireh Swift, amounting to £6 7 s. 6 d .; twenty-seven pairs of shoes and one cap, supplied by Jireh Swift and Commissary Blaney, the shoes at 6 s. and the cap 2 s., amount- ing to £8 4 s .; the amount paid for advance wages £2 each, excepting the captain and two lieutenants,-£108: the whole expense amount- ing to £389 11 s. 92 d .; the balance £227 2 s. 12 d.
Capt. Kempton was a descendant from Manas- sch Kempton, one of the early proprietors of Dart- mouth, and the father of our respected fellow-citi- zen, Thomas Kempton. . Previously to this period (1775) Capt. Kempton had been master of a whal- ing-vessel from this port, and a large portion of those who enlisted in his company had been his sailors. Capt. Kempton had previously received a commission as ensign of the militia from Gov. Hutchinson, bearing date May 13th, 1773. Subse- quent to his command of the Dartmouth company at Roxbury, he received the commission of Lieuten- ant-Colonel, but owing to a failure of health he left service at the evacuation of Boston by the

British troops. He was born April 20th, 1740, and died January 27th, 1806, in his 66th year. Of the two other companies from Dartmouth that joined the Revolutionary army, one was commanded by Captain Egery, of Fairhaven, and the other by Captain Benjamin Dillingham, of Acushnet, whose muster-rolls I have not obtained ; but suffi- cient has been given to show that old Dartmouth was not wanting in Revolutionary spirit.
For the following additional interesting list of a portion of those who served in the Revolutionary army from Dartmouth, as well as for the preceding, I am indebted to the before-mentioned Thomas Kempton, of this city.

grandson of Doctor Perry,-on the Acushnet road, a short distance south of the village.
The following are the lines by Doctor Daniel Hathaway referred to on page 321, but they are of a later date than there given. They were written upon the death of Daniel Russell, a son of John Russell, who died in 1772.
Beneath this mouldering turf and willow shade, An honest man, one Daniel Russell, 's laid; Of soul sincere, and good without pretence, Blest with plain reason and with sober sense. What bosom heaves not sighs, and groans repeat, When Russell 's dumb and Hathaway forced to speak ?
To all in want assistance he did lend, And used each ready person as his friend; Thousands have eat and thrived upon his bread, For all the poor beneath his roof were fed. Did neighbors' quarrels enter but his door, They were agreed, and contests were no more. Such use of understanding God had given,
He saw, well pleased, and called him up to Heaven.
