JOINT RESOLUTION relating to the preservation and publication of portions of the early state and provincial records and other state papers of New Hamp- shire.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court con- vened :
That his excellency the governor be hereby authorized and empowered, with the advice and consent of the council, to employ some suitable person-and fix his compensation, to be paid out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appro- priated- to collect, arrange, transcribe, and superintend the publication of such portions of the early state and provincial records and other state papers of New Hampshire as the governor may deem proper ; and that eight hundred copies of each volume of the same be printed by the state printer, and distributed as fol- lows : namely, one copy to each city and town in the state, one copy to such of the public libraries in the state as the governor may designate, fifty copies to the New Hampshire Historical Society, and the remainder placed in the custody of the state librarian, who is hereby authorized to exchange the same for similar publications by other states.
Approved August 4, 1881.
In accordance with the foregoing resolution, the governor, with advice of the council, on the 12th day of October. 1881, appointed and commissioned ISAAC W. HAMMOND as "Editor and Compiler of State Papers."

EDITOR'S PREFACE.
This volume contains the rolls of the soldiers who served in the Revo- lutionary war from this state from May, 1777, to January, 17So, so far as the same are in the archives of the state, or could be obtained else- where by the editor.
-
The rolls of the state of Massachusetts for 1775 have been carefully examined by the editor, and a large number of names of New Hampshire men who served in the regiments of that state were abstracted, and are published in an appendix to this volume. The list contains those who are credited to this state on said rolls, and no others. By the informa- tion thus obtained, a considerable addition may be made to the number of New Hampshire men engaged in the battle of Bunker Hill ; and the unprejudiced historian of the future, by an examination of this and the preceding volume, may award to this state the credit eminently its due for the services rendered by her sons in that battle.
The increasing demand for the preceding volume, and for access to advance sheets of this volume, is satisfactory evidence of the wisdom of the governor and council in authorizing their publication, as provided by the resolution of the legislature.
A complete index has been compiled, but, being so extensive, it may contain some errors, notwithstanding the large amount of labor involved and the careful attention given to the compilation and printing of the same.
The editor desires to express his thanks to His Excellency Moody Currier and the honorable council, and to many others who have shown
-

a deep interest in the work, and spoken words of counsel and encourage- ment.
The publication of the rolls will be continued, and probably com- pleted, in the next volume.

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR ROLLS, VOL. II.
INTRODUCTION BY THE EDITOR.
On the evening of the 2d day of May, 1777. dispatches were re- ceived by the committee of safety of this state, informing them that the garrison at Ticonderoga was in danger of being taken by the enemy, and urging that the militia be sent forward at once to reën- force that important post. The matter was considered by the com- mittee, and on the day following, the chairman, Hon. Josiah Bartlett, dispatched messages to Colonels Samuel Ashley of Winchester, Benjamin Bellows of Walpole, and Jonathan Chase of Cornish, en- treating them " by all that is sacred to raise as many of your Militia as possible and march them to Ticonderoga." (See Vol. VIII, p. 55 1.) In accordance with that request Colonel Ashley marched with one hundred and nine men, Colonel Bellows with one hundred and twelve, Colonel Chase with one hundred and fifty-nine, and Captain Josiah Brown with fifty-four men, from Colonel Enoch Hale's regiment. The following are the pay-rolls of the several detachments.
