relief. Bingham also sent a letter to the Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, containing a statement of the facts relating to his and Grandy's arrest and imprisonment. Colonel Enoch Hale, of Rindge, sheriff of Cheshire County, hav- ing been authorized by the Assembly to re- lease all the prisoners in the Charlestown jail confined by the Vermont authorities, endeavored to execute his commission without delay, but was himself arrested and committed to the same jail by a deputy-sheriff acting under authority of Vermont. The Vermont authorities, fearing that the New Hampshire government would attempt to accomplish with the aid of military force what the Cheshire sheriff had failed to do, sent a request to Samuel King, Jr., of this town, who was then serving Vermont as colonel of a regiment of militia, to hold his men in readi- ness to march " on the shortest notice." It ap- pears that King immediately took measures to get his men in readiness, for he was particularly zealous in his support of the cause of the " grants," and seems to have been ready to fight, if necessary. The following letter from Michael Cressey, of Chesterfield, to General Bellows, of Walpole, gives some insight into the state of affairs in this town at that time :
" SIR,-I Beg the Leave to inform your Hon'r that the Pertened Coll. King has sent out, By order, as I am informed from Doc. Page [sheriff of the so-called county of Washington], to Raise his Rige'mt to op- pose New Hampshire, and that he Called the militia of this Town together yesterday to see who would fight against New Hampshire; and that, as I am Credably informed, there was about sixty turned out as Vollenters for that Purpose, and the sed King Urged them in the strongest terms to Stand By one another, and by thire officers, for thire Rights against the State of New Hampshire, assuring them if they stood firm New Hampshire would not fight. It is also reported that he sent over to Captain Sarjants, at Brattilbrough, to assist, but what return unknown. Sir, I thought Proper to inform you of these move- ments, and I Pray Heaven to give both you and the State of New Hampshire wisdom to conduct matters wisely at such a Critical day as this. From your most obedient and Humble Sarv't.,
" MICHAEL CRESSEY. "Chesterfield, Dec'ber ye 5th, 1781.
" TO GEN'AL BELLOWS."
Near the end of the month in which this let- ter was written, Colonel Samuel King was ar- rested by a New Hampshire special sheriff (Robert Smith), who started with him for Exeter ; but he had got no farther than Keene with his prisoner when he was set upon by a party of anti-New Hampshire men (the most of whom appear to have been from Chesterfield and Westmoreland), who rescued King (Jan- uary 1, 1782). King was soon afterwards re- arrested, but does not appear to have been kept long in confinement, as he was soon afterwards taking part again in town affairs.
On the 1st day of January (at midnight), 1782, Captain Joseph Burt, of Westmoreland, wrote a letter to President Weare, of the Council, in which he stated that the party who had rescued King, in the morning of the same day, returned to Chesterfield and arrested Lieu- tenant (James) Robertson, whom they were dis- posed " to treat according to the custom of Ver- mont,-that is, by whipping him." Captain Burt's informant was Mr. Bingham's son, who said that a number of persons had been driven from their homes that night by the riotous Vermont men. The captain also added : " The triumphs of the Vermonts are great, and [they] say that New Hampshire dare not come like men, in the day-time, but like a thief, and steal a man or two away."
The next day (January 2d) General Bellows also sent a letter to President Weare, depicting in very vigorous language the unhappy condi- tion of affairs in Chesterfield. After corrob- orating, in the main, the statements in Cap- tain Burt's letter, the general added : " I am credibly informed that there is in said ('hester- field about an Hundred Persons who support said King, who Damn New Hampshire and all their authority to Hell, and say they (New Hampshire) can do nothing only in a mean, un- derhanded way. In short, they Defy all the authority and force of the State, and are deter- mined to support and maintain their usurped authority, maugre all attempts that have [been]

or shall be made to curb and restrain their usurpations. . . . "
Such was the state of affairs in this part of the State, especially in Chesterfield, in the win- ter of 1781-82. Happily, however, through the intervention of Congress, this memorable controversy was brought to a close, and, on the 23d of February, 1782, the Vermont Assembly passed a resolution relinquishing all claims to territory lying within the prescribed boundaries of that State. Yet peace and harmony were by no means wholly re-established in the disaf- fected towns. Says Belknap : "Though cut off' from their connection with Vermont, the re- volted towns did not at once return to a state of peace ; but the divisions and animosities which had so long subsisted continued to produce dis- agreeable effects."
It having been definitely settled that Ches- terfield belonged to New Hampshire, upwards of thirty of the inhabitants and freeholders of the town made application to General Bellows, of Walpole, and William Lee, of Chesterfield, justices of the peace, to issue a warrant for the annual town-meeting for the year 1782. At this meeting, held the 6th day of March, the Vermont party still asserted its power, by elect- ing at least a majority of the principal town- officers ; whereupon the minority submitted a vigorous protest.
An event that occurred in September of the same year shows how bitter the opposition still was to the New Hampshire government on the part of some of the inhabitants of Chesterfield. When the Inferior Court met at Keene, that month, a party of anti-New Hampshire men, led by Samuel Davis, of Chesterfield, attempted to break it up. It appears, however, that Davis and his men soon found themselves out- numbered, and desisted from their undertaking. He, together with others, was arrested and put under bonds to appear at the next term of the Superior Court ; but they were afterwards dis- charged without punishment. The fact that it was thought necessary to send a military force
into Chesterfield at one time, to aid in the collection of taxes, is further evidence of the hostility that was still manifested toward New Hampshire. It appears that Colonel Reuben Alexander, of Winchester, received orders "to raise the body of his regiment," or as many of his men as might be sufficient, and march them into Chesterfield on Tuesday, the 21st day of January, 1783, to assist in collecting taxes ; but on account of the "clamor of the people," he fcared to comply with the order, stating, as a further reason, that "the greater part that could be raised would turn out with intent to mutinize and confound our proceedings." Op- position to New Hampshire gradually died out, however, and for a whole century Chesterfield " has creditably performed her part in war and in peace."
SOLDIERS FURNISHED BY CHESTERFIELD IN THE SECOND WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN .- If any men enlisted from Chesterfield in the military or naval service of the United States in the years 1812 and 1813, their names are not known to the writer.
September 9, 1814, Governor Gilman issued an order for the whole of the militia " to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning, completely armed and equipped ac- cording to law, and as well provided as possible with blankets and ammunition." An order had already been issued, two days before, for de- tachments from twenty-three regiments of the militia. These orders were received by the mi- litia with great enthusiasm, and were promptly obeyed. The men detached in accordance with the order of September 7th were duly organized into several regiments and battalions, which formed one brigade under the command of General John Montgomery. The first draft was made in Chesterfield September 13th. The names of the men thus obtained were as fol- lows :
Amos Stone, sergeant. Eli Darling, corporal.
Privates.
Joshua Wiggins. Isaac Wetherby.
145
CHESTERFIELD.
Francis Winch. Ezra Putney. Roswell Metcalf.
Stephen Streeter, Jr.
Montgomery Darling.
These men were to serve three months, unless sooner discharged. They formed part of Cap- tain Nathan Glidden's company, in the First Regiment of detached militia, commanded by Colonel Nat. Fisk, of Westmoreland. Cap- tain Glidden was of Unity. Eli Darling was discharged November 3d; Joshua Wiggins and Isaac Wetherby, November 10th. Mont- gomery Darling was accidentally hit by a bayonet on the gun of a fellow-soldier, and lost the sight of one eye from the effects of the wound. He was discharged November 6th.
The next draft was made September 26th, and the following men were obtained :
Samuel L. Draper. John Bass.
Daniel Stearns.
Philip Bacon.
Elijah Lyons. Lyman Toms [Tombs ].
The men obtained by this draft formed a part of the company commanded by Captain Reuben Marsh, of this town, in the Second Regi- ment of detached militia. Ara Hamilton and Bradley Mead, also both of Chesterfield, were lieutenants in the same company. Captain Marsh and Lieutenants Hamilton and Mead went to Portsmouth with the detachment, which was five days in marching to that place. Samuel L. Draper went as a substitute ; but, on his ar- rival at Portsmouth, Captain Marsh procured for him the position of fifer for the company. John H. Fuller, then of Chesterfield, afterwards of Keene, was adjutant of the regiment to which Captain Marsh's company belonged. The men were to serve sixty days, but they were dis- charged a few days before the expiration of their term of service. Elijah Lyons was discharged November 3d. The British did not attack Portsmouth, as was anticipated, and the greater part of the troops that had assembled there were discharged before their term of service expired.
RECORD OF THE CITIZENS OF CHESTERFIELD WHO ENLISTED IN THE MILITARY SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES DURING THE WAR OF
THE REBELLION (1861-65) .- On the breaking out of the War of the Great Rebellion the mili- tary spirit that had so long lain dormant was again aroused, and men of all political beliefs laid aside their differences for a while, and joined with one another in their efforts to sustain the general government in the attempt to put down the most formidable rebellion recorded in the annals of the world. Chesterfield furnished during the war upwards of one hundred and ten men for the Union army, of whom seventy-four were residents of the town; the rest were not citizens of Chesterfield, but were hired by the town to fill its quota, or by individuals as sub- stitutes.
Only one of the substitutes was a resident of Chesterfield ; the rest were mainly "brokers' men," and belonged, in great part, to the class of men so well known during the war as " bounty- jumpers."
With very few exceptions, those persons who were citizens of the town at the time of their en- listment served till they were honorably dis- charged.
The following record of the soldiers furnished by Chesterfield during the Civil War contains only the names of those who were actually resi- dents of the town at the time of their enlistment. It has been carefully compiled from the records of the town, from the reports of the Adjutant- General of the State, and from information de- rived from private sources.
[NOTE .- When the cause of a soldier's discharge is not stated, it is to be understood that he was discharged by reason of expiration of term of service or termination of the war].
