Anticipated invasion from Canada did not materialize. The danger to New Hampshire from naval attack was, however, al- ways present and a strong force was maintained at forts guard- ing Portsmouth harbor. For this service the back-country fur- nished its due share. That a company marched from Goshen under the command of Col. Nathan Huntoon of Unity, was reported in the account of the McCrillis Centennial Celebration of July, 1873. Unfortunately, the details which that day could have been secured were not given consideration. Local tradi- tion supports the issuance of two draft-calls, but numbers and names of those who responded to the first summons are un- known.
In the autumn of 1814, hostile sails were seen off Portsmouth harbor and again a draft for home-guard duty was issued throughout the state. Four were required from Goshen, and
NOTE: Much credit must be given the Col. Samuel Ashley Chapter D. A. R., Clare- mont, for its praiseworthy efforts in locating graves of Revolutionary veterans throughout this area. Mrs. Anna M. (Chandler) Riley and Mrs. Berenice Webb Putnam, Regent, 1933, have been of special assistance in verifying records and burial-places of the above. Three or four other possible veterans have been considered, but their claims have been too obscure for inclusion here.

HISTORY OF GOSHEN, N. H.
'Squire John Gunnison, Vinal Gunnison and John Stevens, Vinal's brother-in-law, volunteered. Then, to prevent the en- forcement of the draft, John Sholes, an older brother of Hiram Sholes, was induced to enlist, though but sixteen years of age. It will be noted that Vinal Gunnison, b. 1798, was also but sixteen. These four men went afoot to Portsmouth; after a short term of service were mustered out and returned home. Through some waggish drollery the nickname "Rye and Injun Barley- corns" was applied to the troops quartered there. For this service the Goshen men were awarded a section of land apiece in the then far West, near what is now the city of Davenport, Iowa.
Early information cited, in addition to the above, Benjamin and Arrouet Gunnison, John Lewis and John Sholes, the elder, though confirmation in all cases is admittedly inadequate. The younger John Sholes is duty accredited. The two men bearing identical names have become further confounded by the con- tradictory nicknames that were attached to them locally. Thus, "John the Boy" was the elder of the two by far, but being short of stature, very jolly and full of fun, had gained his title through the wry humor of the time, because young "John the Man" was very tall, very dignified and very precise in speech and address.
Daniel L. Stearns, later a resident of Goshen, was drafted from Chesterfield for the defense of Portsmouth, Sept. 26, 1814; Capt. Reuben Marsh's Co., 2nd. Regt., detached Militia.
Nathaniel Marston, Jr., of Greenland (1790) and Goshen, was a soldier in the War of 1812, so inscribed upon his gravestone at the Corner cem .; d. Goshen, Feb. 1876.

Our cemeteries preserve names of soldiers of the Civil War not given in the preceding rolls, those who became residents after the war. Of these we note:
Capt. Charles E. Stubbs, 2nd Maine Battery, Light Art'y.
Hiram H. Peck, 2nd Regt., Vt. Vols.
Abial Haven
Gilman C. Abbott
Nelson Droun, Killed at the Battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864.
(The Droun gravestone is near the front gate of the old part of the Vil- lage cemetery. Below his name is the inscription:
"Carrie H., his wife; died Sept. 29, 1868, aged 33. Gone Home."
Mrs. Droun was staying in the family of Elder Simonds, while her husband was in the army, and wasted away, it is said, with consumption. Elder Simonds was a minister of the Christian denomination, preaching in the church then standing west of the Floyd DuBois house. For a time he lived in the present George Gregg place, and then at the place now owned by F. L. Morse.)
An entry in the Sketch of Goshen states that Goshen furnished 58 soldiers, counting both volunteers and drafted men, though the names of but 37 - all volunteers - are preserved. It is evident that records were available in 1903 which have since been lost; no trace in town-books of such a list can now be found. Processes of the draft during the Civil War allowed the drafted man to secure a substitute if circumstances prevented his going in person and he could afford the very considerable sum required to procure a substitute. Thus it will be seen that tracing the substitute becomes a difficult matter. Application to the Adjutant General's Dept., Concord, elicits the information that state records do not have the names of the men by cities and towns; verification of the names can be obtained from the Ayling report, only if known.
Strange as it may seem, there were Goshen men who sup-

ported the cause of the Confederacy. The story of Arvin N. Gunnison and his younger brother Amos is told elsewhere. There were at least three others; Henry Richardson, son of Elder Richardson; James ("Jimmie") Robinson who was named for James Trow (his mother was a Trow), and Stephen M. Willey, eldest son of Merrill Willey.
Stephen Willey began working out at an early age and final- ly reached Woodstock, Vt., where he learned the trade of silver- smith under the supervision of a man named Bailey, with whom he served a three year apprenticeship. Some time later he drifted west to Indianapolis, Ind., where he worked at the same trade with another Bailey, brother to the first. Eventually he went farther west, took up dentistry, and when the Civil War began was in Arkansas, or Mississippi. During the war his family had no word from him, save one letter that was smuggled through to the Union lines. In it he said he was an "assistant surgeon, not a fighter."
Following the war, he married a Mississippi girl by the name of Phillips, daughter of a plantation-owner whose ten negro slaves had been emancipated, causing great hardship to the family. He never came home, though letters from him were occasionally received, reflecting bitterness toward the North. He took up wild land in Arkansas, which he sold, going to Memphis, Tenn., where he died April 6, 1898, aged 66 yrs .; buried at Memphis.
The Spanish-American War
The First Regiment of N. H. Volunteers went into camp at Concord, the first of May, 1898; was mustered into United States service by Capt. Edgerly, May 9; transported to mobilization center, Camp George H. Thomas, Chickamauga, Ga .; mustered out October 30.

WORLD WAR II
National Guardsmen in the Pacific
The kindling flame of war in Europe during the late months of 1939 had its inevitable results in this country. National Guardsmen who had trained at the Newport Armory as mem- bers of the 197th Coast Artillery, Anti Aircraft, 2nd Battalion Hdqrs. Dept., were inducted into the Army of the U. S., in Sept., 1940, and were assigned to Camp Hulen, Texas, for 16 mos. basic training. In this group were seven Goshen men:
Chartier, John W. Cole, Harry B. Gladue, Oliver T.
Goyette, Eugene A., Jr. Harold, John, Jr. Hurd, Donald C.
Trudeau, Norman W.
Soon after the declaration of war upon Germany, Dec. 1,

1941, the Regiment was brought up to the defense of New York City. Here Hurd was detached, later serving in Germany. The remainder of the group sailed from San Francisco Feb. 16, 1942, with task-force destined for the Philippines, but were forced to land at Brisbane, Australia, on March 9, where the regiment served at various army bases for fourteen months; thence transferred to New Guinea and the Netherlands East Indies for seventeen months, where they trained for the in- vasion of the Philippines. In October, 1944, the group landed with the invasion forces on Leyte Island and served in combat operations against the Japanese. Ribbons and medals were earned during five years' service; date of separation, Feb. 12, 1945. Meanwhile, the regiment had been broken up into three battalions, John Harold being assigned to the 237th Searchlight Battery. His transport was bombed and sunk by a Jap air-attack and he later contracted malaria and incipient typhus; dis. under disability Aug. 2, 1945.

Harold, Neil F. Assigned to the 106th Infantry Div., Maj. Gen. Donald A. Stroh, Commander, attached to 589th Field Artillery Battalion. "When the terrific German onslaught was launched under Von Rund- stedt, in the Battle of the Bulge, the 106th had only been on the Continent ten days. They landed at Le Havre from England, Dec. 6th, making a three-day road march from Limésey, France, to St. Vith, Bel- gium, in rain, cold and snow." In the see-saw fighting that ensued, Neil's detachment was surrounded and captured, being for three months in the hands of the Germans.
Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges, First Army's Commander, said of the 106th's stand: "No troops in the world, disposed as your division had to be (on a 27-mile line) could have withstood the impact of the Ger- man attack which had its greatest weight in your sector. Please tell these men for me what a grand job they did. By the delay they effected they definitely upset Von Rundstedt's timetable."

On the 9th of May, 1945, while stationed on the Danube, Capt. Teague received the formal surrender of the German Black Sea Fleet, Capt. Seiferrt commanding officer. It is believed to be without precedent in the annals of war that a rifle-company has captured a fleet.
"The fleet was the headquarters group of the German navy that operated in the Black Sea. Forbidden to pass through the Dardanelles, and not wishing to surrender to the Russians, the fleet, twenty craft of all types, decided to fight its way up the Danube and surrender them- selves to the American forces. According to Captain Koschu, assistant commander, the trip up the Danube was a perilous one, with many encounters with the Russians. Their last encounter took place a day before the surrender, when they engaged Russian tanks." Manchester Union.
Captain Teague has the flag of the German commander's flagship. Capt. Seiferrt had been twenty-eight years in the German navy.

NOTE: The above records of World War II, astonishing in comparison to our population, have been obtained by application to the individual veteran, or their families, a process which has consumed much time. Many of the men have removed from town, making collection of their service reports difficult and in some cases impossible. The work of publication, already too long delayed, was forced to proceed. The particulars, as given, will be of unquestioned value.

*The genealogical portion of this work has been limited by necessity to families whose roots were entrenched in Goshen soil before 1850. This method has allowed the pro- jection of descendants of these families up to current times. It does, however, leave much to be desired, because so few of the old family-names have endured in town and therefore the family-names of today are not represented in the History.
