These regiments were soon afterwards reor- ganized as " Continental troops," or regulars, and did excellent service at Trenton and Prince- ton.

The following are interesting relating to Captain Hinds' company:

HISTORY OF CHESHIRE COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Ezekiel Davis had a coat found by the colony.

In the Ninth Company of same regiment was Nehemiah Brown. He returned in the fall of the year siek with a complication of diseases, in consequence of which he was put upon the half- pay list. His regiment participated in the bat- tle of Bunker Hill. The records show that Aldrich, White, Cole, Darby, How, Carlisle and others each lost a portion of their wardrobe at the battle of June 17, 1775.

At an early hour in the morning of the last day of the year 1775, a small force of Amer- can troops, under Arnold and Montgomery, af- ter a march of incredible hardship, weakened by hunger, exposed to all the severities of a Canadian winter, appeared like spectres before the strongest fortified city in America. In a driving storm of hail and snow they made the des- perate attempt to take Quebec by assault. It was fated with defeat. It proved worse than that. The American forces were obliged to retreat, a scattering remnant.

The news of its defeat, with all its detail of horrors, thrilled the American cause. January 20, 1776, the New Hampshire House of Repre- sentatives voted to raise one regiment of soldiers forthwith. This regiment consisted of eight companies and was placed under the command of Colonel Timothy Bedell to reinforce the Northern Continental army. Isaac Butter- field, of Westmoreland, was major. The Sec- ond Company of this regiment was commanded by Captain Daniel Carlisle, of Westmoreland and contained the following Westmoreland men :

Ephraim Stone, second lieutenant.

Timothy Butterfield, sergeant. Joel Priest.

Caleb Thayer.

William Temple. Isaac Gibbs. Luke Aldrich.

Joel Aldrich. Isaac Stone. Ebenezer Aldrich. John Rugg.

Henry Chamberlain. Joshua Pierec.

Bezaleel Grandy.

Daniel Gates.

Philip Alexander. Thomas Amsden. Jacob Staples.

Ebenezer Chamberlain Enos Burt.

Moses Brown.

They arrived at a fort called The Cedars, distant about forty-five miles to the southwest from Montreal. Colonel Bedell expecting an immediate attack, knowing that he was ill-pre- pared to resist successfully, left a part of his regiment, numbering four hundred men, under the command of Major Butterfield, and pro- ceeded himself to Montreal for reinforcements. Soon after, Captain George Forster, with five hundred British troops, appeared before the fort and demanded its surrender. Major But- terfiell, upon consultation with his officers, de- cided that it would be without avail to with- stand the demand, having but a scant supply of ammunition, in a damaged condition, with a large number upon the sick-list, and all weak- ened from wintry exposure. He considered it best to capitulate, agrecably to the rules of war. This he did on the 19th day of May, 1776. Contrary to the terms of the surrender, his men were afterward treated in an inhuman manner, stripped of their clothing and some were murdered. Major Butterfield has been severely criticised, even by some of the men under his command, for capitulating without a fight; but it seems safe, at least, to presume that he endeavored to act wisely under the cir- cumstances.

The following petition is of interest in con- nection with this brief sketch. It appears that but a few men signed this petition, and it is reasonable to suppose that if the feeling therein expressed, was generally entertained by all the men under command of Major Butterfield, that other and more numerously signed petitions would have been presented,-

"To the Honourable the Council and house of Representatives to be conven'd at Exeter, in New Hampshire on the the 10th day of March 1779.

"The Humble Petition and Remonstrance of the Company Commanded by Cap' Daniel Wilkins in Colo Beedels Regt in Canada humbly sheweth that on ye 19th of May 1776 we unhappily fell into the hands of our unnatural and savage Enemy at the Cedars in Canada when Major Butterfield our commanding officer Capitulated with Capt Foster of the British army to the great grief and surprise of said Company,

on the following terms (viz) that we surrendered our- selves as prisoners of war and was to deliver up our arms which accordingly we did and we was to have our packs and Baggage - and Capt Foster Engaged not to suffer the savages to plunder or abuse us, nor suffer the British troops so to do. But contrary to the Rules of War, they inhumanly without regard to their promise, suffered the savages to rob and plunder us of our packs and baggage, and strip us of our clothes off our backs and left us entirely naked, in this deplora- ble situation we were left in an enemies Country with- out money, clothing or friends that could contribute to our relief-Therefore your humble petitioners humbly pray that your honors would take the matter under your serious consideration and grant to each per- son a sum something adequate to the loss he sustained and your Petitioners will gratefully acknowledge the favor, and as in duty bound shall ever pray.

"Signed by Robert Campbell and twenty-two others."

I have seen no record of any action having been taken upon this petition.

Relating to Captain Carlisle's company, we find the following receipts of interest :

"Charlestown Feb. 24th 1776-Received of Jnº Bel- lows Esq' twenty-one Guns with Bayonets also twenty- one belts the Guns (@ 45s. and the belts (@) 5s. each If not returned to be accounted for according to the Custom of the Army,-

DAN' CARLISLE"

Captain Daniel Carlisle remained with the northern army until after General Sullivan had assumed its command. Upon a march to the southward, Captain Carlisle was detailed to look up some boats to transport the troops across Lake Champlain. As the enemy had destroyed them all, Carlisle's search was conse- quently in vain, and he so reported to General Sullivan. He was ordered to make another search, and necessarily with the same result and report. Sullivan thereupon flew into a passion, drew his sword and made a movement as if to strike Carlisle down. Carlisle instantly

seized a gun from the hands of a soldier standing by his side, instantly leveled it at Sullivan's head, and, with a firm voice, informed Sullivan to lower his sword or die. Sullivan lowered his sword, but Carlisle was cashiered and sent home in disgrace. Nevertheless, Carlisle was a good soldier and a true patriot.

The Third Company of this regiment was under the command of Captain Jason Wait, and ineluded the following men from West- moreland .

Nehemiah Gould, enlisted April 29, 1777; discharged August 10, 1778.

David Johnson, enlisted April 16, 1777; discharged, December, 1781.

Captain Jason Wait came to this town during the Revolutionary War from Alstead. He was a man of great physical strength and endurance. He rose from a private to a major, in times when promotion was only secured by merit. Captain Wait, together with his regiment, were held prisoners for a time. Upon the reorganizing of Colonel Stark's old regiment, April 7, 1777, Wait was made captain of Company 2, under Colonel Joseph Cilley, and served in this capacity during the years 1777, '78, '79. In 1780 he was promoted to major of his old battle-searred regiment, and remained with it to the close of the war. It is related that at the battle of Bennington he captured, alone, six Hessian prisoners. He was a noted fighter. He died in 1806, and was buried with the honors of Masonry in the Cole cemetery.

In the autumn of 1776 a regiment was raised for Canada under Colonel Joshua Win- gate. As ensign of Company 6 we find Wil- liam Bennett. Later, another regiment was raised for the same destination under Colonel Nahum Baldwin. The Sixth Company was under the command of Captain John Houghton, and included the following men from West- moreland :

Waitstill Scott, ensign. Caleb Aldrich.

Edmund Goodnow. Samuel Cobb.

Ephraim Leonard. William Britain.

In the regiment raised to reinforce the northern army, under Colonel Isaac Wyman, of Keene, in August, 1776, I find its record to contain the following men credited to West- moreland : Benjamin Young Smith, Asahel Johnson, Jesse Nott and John Avril.

New Hampshire raised a regiment of men in December, 1776, to reinforce the Continental army in the State of New York, under the command of Colonel David Gilman. These men received one month's advance wages, "a bounty of 20 shillings per month over the Stated wages-also two pence a mile for Travel & in lieu of baggage Waggons." The First Company was under the command of Captain Francis Towne, and included the following men from Westmoreland : Micah Reed, sergeant ; Jonathan Avery, Nathaniel Thomas, Philip Alexander, David Winchester, Jonathan Win- chester.

Following the Declaration of Independence, the New Hampshire Assembly and Council proceeded, in September, by legislative act, to organize all male persons, with certain excep- tions, into a training-band and into an alarm- list ; the former comprising all able-bodied male persons in the State from sixteen years old to fifty, and the latter all male persons from sixteen to sixty-five years old. Negroes, mu- lattoes and Indians, together with certain per- sons occupying official positions and in certain employments, were exempted from military ser- vice. Both classes were organized into com- panies and regiments, and all were liable to do duty in case of an emergency. Every person, if able, was required to furnish at his own ex- pense his arms and accoutrements; otherwise the town in which he resided did so.

The alarm-list included all persons between the said specified ages not included in the train- ing-band. The alarm was to be the firing of

three guns one after the other, by firing the beacon, or the drums beating the alarm. Early in May, 1777, express-riders came into New Hampshire bearing the news of the approach of the British army upon Ticonderoga. Major- General Folsom, in command of the New Hampshire militia, called out portions of the reg- iments in the western part of the State to march immediately to the aid of the American army at that place. Accordingly, Colonels Bellows, Ashley and Chase marched their regiments to Ticonderoga. The alarm proving to be false, these regiments returned in about three weeks. Of this regiment, Westmoreland furnished its adjutant, Ephraim Stone, and its quartermas- ter, Leonard Keep. Captain Waitstill Seott, of this town, commanded the First Company of Colonel Ashley's regiment. Its roll contained the following Westmoreland men :

Gen- cral Gates, in command at Ticonderoga, No- vember 9, 1777, wrote a letter to the officers

and men of Colonels Bellows' and Ashley's reg- iments, returning thanks for the spirit and ex- pedition shown in marching upon the first alarm of threatened invasion. These men had barely got home when other expresses arrived with tidings that Burgoyne and his army had actually arrived within a few miles of Ticon- deroga and was about to invest the fated fort- ress. Immediately the militia was called to the rescue. From Westmoreland and vicinity a company of sixty-three men marehed, of whom the following were citizens of Westmoreland :

This company left town June 28th, and marched to within five miles of Otter Creek, where an express informed them that the enemy had retired. They returned to No. 4, when they were overtaken by orders to march to Ti- conderonda ; they responded to the call and got

within three miles of Otter Creek, where they met the army on their retreat.

These constant alarms and repeated marches served to work up military spirit and to ripen it for action. Nor did they have long to wait ; for Burgoyne, flushed with success, was prepar- ing to swoop, like a vulture, upon the New Hampshire grants. So far, before his triumph- ant marches the Continental troops vanished like autumn leaves before the gale. The Eng- lish ministry considered that New England was the heart of the rebellion ; her object was to sever it from the other colonies ; then to sub- jugate it. With this object in view, General Burgoyne detached Colonel Baum with fifteen hundred Hessians and Tories, with a large body of Indians, with orders to scour the country from Otter Creek to Rockingham ; thenee down the river to Brattleborough, and then to return to Albany. Colonel Baum was directed to tax the towns along the line of his march with such articles as he wanted, and to take hos- tages for the performance of the demand; to seize horses, saddles and bridles, to the number at. least of thirteen hundred ; the more the bet- ter. But the prospect of Indian depredations created the greatest commotion. The Vermont Committee of Safety again sounded the alarm. Express-riders were sent in all directions bear- ing a written missive of a few words, which, like the burnt and bloody cross of the Scotch highlanders, called the clans ready for action.

During the French and Indian, as well as the Revolutionary War, an effective arm of the military service was known as the Partisan Corps or the Rangers.

Of the former of the two prominent partisan officers from Westmoreland, Major Benjamin Whiteomb, we know very little; of the other, Captain George Aldrich, fortunately, more. Of him a short sketeh, we trust, will not be amiss.

His father was Benjamin Aldrich (formerly spelled Alldridge), one of the original grantees of the town. George was born in Walpole, Mass., March 13, 1738, and came to Westmore-

land with his father's family in 1743, living here most of the time until his decease, July 17, 1815. The year following their coming to this town, 1744, the French and Indian War broke out and it became hazardous to reside here. The Aldrich family then removed to Northfield, Mass., and remained until 1752. In 1755 the " Old French War," so called, broke out. The Great Meadow fort was garrisoned. For five years George Aldrich did duty as a soldier therein. In 1758 he enlisted under Captain Barnard, of Deerfield, in Colonel Williams' regiment, under General Abercrombie, and was present at the disastrous battle of Ticonderoga. At the close of this campaign Aldrich returned and performed guard-duty for some time. At this time all Vermont was a wilderness ; no settler's house broke the wilderness' sameness.

No settlement had been made in Walpole or Chesterfield. Of his services in the army fur- ther reference is given elsewhere. After the organization of the militia, after peace was con- cluded, he was appointed to the command of the Twentieth Regiment and afterwards of the brigade. He was not excelled as an officer. In 1805 he was a Presidential elector. In 1807, '08, '09, '10 he was a Senator from the Tenth District. He was repeatedly called to positions of publie trust within the gift of the town and was ever a prominent and public-spirited citi- zen, and was one of the original members of the lodge of Free-Masons in this town, known as the New Jerusalem Lodge, No. 3. He married Azubah How, September 30, 1762, and reared a family of seven children.

Each company consisted of not less than thirty men, and of none but such as were able- bodied and capable of the greatest endurance. Veterans in Indian warfare, habituated to dar- ing deeds and wasting fatigue alone, were ad- mitted into this service. The duties of the Rangers were thus specified : "To seour the woods and ascertain the force and position of the enemy ; to discover and prevent the effect of his ambuscades and to ambush him in turn ;

to acquire information of his movements by making prisoners of his sentinels ; and to elcar the way for the advance of the regular troops."

In this service Westmoreland took a promi- nent part. In a battalion of Rangers renowned for its effectiveness, under the command of Ma- jor Benjamin Whitcomb, of this town, she was represented certainly by twenty men, and there is no doubt by more, whose names are not at hand. Its First Company consisted of :

Capt. George Aldrich. Sergt. Manassah Sawyer.

Lieut. Jonas Butterfield. Corp. Elijah Temple. Lieut. David Goodenough. Drummer, Joseph How.

Privates.

Urialı Temple. Noah Levans.

Samuel Britton. Perley Rogers.

Nathaniel Whitcomb. James Eddy.

William Martin. Abel Pierce.

Selah How. Jeduthan Roberts.

Asa Pratt. Francis A. Kerly.

James Winton.

During a portion of the time this battalion was in the service, Ephraim Stone was captain of the Second Company. All of these men were from Westmoreland. It consisted of three companies, and with few changes was thus or- ganized throughout the Revolutionary War and was dismissed in 1781. The field of operations of this battalion was extended ; from the upper valley of the Connecticut it circled through Canada to Lake Champlain and southward to the vicinity of Bennington.

The nature of the service required of the Rangers necessarily made it impossible to trans- port camp equipage, and in consequence they experienced much suffering, and especially from the rigors of Canadian winters. Their march oftentimes was through or over snow four or five feet deep. At night their encampment often consisted of an excavation in the snow, into which were thrown bonghs for their couch ; upon these they would throw themselves, wrapped in their blankets, heads and points to economize space, with the stars above them for accompanying sentinels. It was a time of great despondency. The State was drained of both

men and money. It was the darkest hour of the Revolution. Tories were numerous and aggressive. It required the utmost vigilance of the Rangers to intimidate them and to prevent them from open acts of hostility.

The New Hampshire Legislature was con- vened to meet this emergency. It could raise men, but before them stared an empty treasury, but-

" As news of the Army's need was read, Then in the hush John Langdon said,

Three thousand dollars have I in gold, For as much I will pledge the plate I hold. " Eighty casks of Tobago rum;

" Of hope cheered the gloom while the Governor said, For a regiment now with Stark at its head ; And the boon we gained through the noble lender Was Bennington Day and Burgoyne's Surrender."

The Legislature immediately proceeded to divide the State into two brigades, one of which was given to the command of John Stark. This brigade was composed of three regiments, one of which was under Colonel Nichols; it was composed of ten companies, the Eighth of which went from Westmoreland. This company quickly responded to the call and assembled at Keep's hotel, on Park Hill, July 22, 1777. It is related that one Robbins, a man of ardent temperament, was so enthused for the fray that he reached the point of assembling forgetful of his hat. The line of march was by the way of Charlestown. The roll of this company consisted of sixty-one men, some of whom were from Chesterfield. It was the third company to report to General Stark, at Charlestown, and was complimented by him for their promptness and good appearance. Provisions being scarce at this place, Aaron Wheeler and Job F. Brooks, two of our thrifty farmers, each carried up to Charlestown a two- horse load of supplies. This company con- tained the following Westmoreland men :

Amos Peirce, lieut. Jonathan Holton, lieut. Jonathan Sawyer, Sergt. Ephraim Sawyer, Sergt.

Jonathan Cole, corporal. Sam'l Robbins, corporal. Benoni Tisdale, fifer.

As soon as a few hundred men had gathered at Charlestown Stark pushed on to Manchester, Vt., leaving orders to have the troops follow him as fast as they arrived. Here he was joined by Colonel Warner, with his Green Mountain Boys, and with his united forces pushed on, August 8th, for Bennington, where he arrived the next day.

At this time Major Benjamin Whitcomb, with his battalion of Rangers, was stationed in Canada. His first captain, George Aldrich, was on his way to his battalion with recruits that he had enlisted in Westmoreland and vicinity. His route led him through Stark's vicinity. It so happened that they met the day before the battle of Bennington. Stark, believing that the morrow would witness a battle, easily prevailed upon Aldrich to remain over the ensuing day and to participate in its events. To Aldrich was given a major's com- mand, with instructions to drive back a body of Indians who were advancing upon one of Stark's flanks; succeeding in this, he received orders to attack the north breast-work of the enemy. Aldrich, although a stranger to his command, was particularly an efficient officer, and one well calculated to inspire the confidence of his men. Arriving within seven rods of the breast-works, Major Aldrich ordered his men to fire, and then, with an Indian yell, rushed up to and over them, and victory was won. It is said that Aldrich alone captured three Hessian prisoners, which he brought into Stark's headquarters fully equipped. On the 13th Stark learned of the arrival of a de- tachment of Burgoyne's army under the com- mand of Colonel Baum at Cambridge ; he im-
