HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
Captain Jacob Smith, the gallant leader of the rangers of 1781, was of Sandwich. This company was in service two months and a fraction.
The Tenth regiment of militia was divided November 3, 1780, and the Fourteenth regiment organized from the towns of Wakefield, Middleton, Wolfeborough, Effingham, Ossipee Gore, Eaton, Conway, Tuftonborough, Moultonborough, Sandwich, and Tamworth by the General Assembly, which chose as field officers Major Bradbury Richardson, colonel, Captain David Copp, lieutenant-colonel, Captain David Page, first major, Mr. David Folsom, second major. March 31, 1781, "David Page, Esq., of Conway," was appointed lieutenant-colonel of this regiment, and Mr. Jonathan Palmer, of Wakefield, first major. The civil titles given in the last appointment indicate that the feeling was prevalent that the militia would not be as a body called into active military operations.
January 10, 1782, Colonel David Page was empowered to raise twelve men as a scouting party for Shelburne and the Upper Coos, and he was directed to call on Conway and neighboring towns for supplies for the men, who were to be officered with one "Sarjeant," the officers and men to have the same pay and rations as the Continental Army, and to be under the directions of Colonel David Page. March 27, David Page, Esq., was directed by the General Assembly to enlist eight men to serve until November next to aid in defending the western and northern frontiers.
No military operations on an extended scale occurred on this soil during the Revolution, and no battle was fought here, but the dread of hostile invasion from Canada and of the incursions of bands of hostile Indians hung heavy over the households, many of whose protectors were battling in the army at all points from Ticonderoga to Yorktown, from Charlestown to Trenton, and with Sullivan in his campaign against the Indians of Western New York. Their descendants of to-day cannot have the faintest appreciation of the worry, care, and responsibilities appertaining to life in Revolution days among Carroll's now most peaceful vales and plains.
War of 1812 .- New Hampshire was in 1812 as well prepared for military operations as at any time up to 1861. The militia, under the supervision of adjutant-general Michael McClary, a soldier of the Revolution, was a well-disci- plined and well-regulated body, commanded, to a great extent, by men who had seen active service. Colonel Potter says: "Such men, taught in the school of experience, brought military skill and pride, without which skill is of little avail, to the organization and completion of our military system."
Carroll county's territory responded well to the call, and proved that her sons kept up their ancient reputation for valor. The rolls of the companies mustered during the first two years of the war do not give the residence of the soldier, and it is groping in the dark to gather those belonging to any particu- lar locality. In 1814 the residence of some is given, and their names will be
