Walter Bryent makes oath, July 18, 1781, that Benjamin Dow, son of Jeremiah, who had been apprenticed to Asael Blake of Northwood, was a resident of Newmarket, and had been a soldier in the army, having bought his time of his master, and expected that "Newmarket would Do something for him, as he was re- turned for Newmarket, &c."
Simon Dow, brother of Benjamin, and Thomas Bartlett, make depositions confirmatory to the above.
James Colby of Newmarket, aged 44, became an invalid unfit for duty, and was pensioned in 1787, receiving $3.30 per month. He belonged to Colonel Bridge's regiment of Massachusetts and was paid to July 31, 1789, possibly longer.
Deacon Drown had a brother Peter in the war who crept between the lines and secured a horse belonging to the British, and sold it to an American officer for $150.
We give the following:
Return to the Men that were Inlisted or Hired for three years or during the War Belonging to the fourth Regiment of Militia in New Hampshire to compleat the three Battalions of the Continental army for Newmarket: Samuel Baker, Jonathan Mason, Reuben Roberts, Ebenezer Bean, Caleb Clark, James Moody, Jona Stone Dudley, Barna- bas McBride, William Downs, Samuel Ward, John Folsom, Jonathan Folsom, Joseph Sanborn, James Kennistone, Benjamin Dow, John Foss, Thomas Foss, John Smart, Oxford (negro), Philip Crommet, James Remick, James Gooding, Benjamin Folsom, John Barter, Aaron Rollins, Winthrop Wiggin, Dav Watson, James Colby, Robert Mitchel, Daniel Remick.
The new community suffered great inconvenience for want of a circulating medium. There was but little money in the settlement. Most business was done by means of barter. Corn, beans, poultry, pine boards, short lumber and shooks took the

place of money. In the emergencies arising from the Indian wars, the government was compelled to issue bills of credit. All such bills authorized before 1742 were called "Old Tenor," and the issue of that year and subsequently to the Revolution were designated as "New Tenor." Over issue led to deprecia- tion, bankruptcy, embarrassment and distress. The depreciation of continental money wrought financial ruin to large numbers of the people. Continental bills at par January 1, 1777, by June, 1781, were passed for 12,000 per 100.
So far as New Hampshire was concerned the Revolution was achieved by public spirit and voluntary action rather than by obligation and law.
In 1786 the state of New Hampshire was agitated in regard to the issuing of paper money which should be receivable as a tender in payment of state taxes, fees and salaries of public officers. Taxation was oppressive. Debts had accumulated during the war. The circulating medium was deficient. A bill was introduced in the Legislature authorizing the issue of paper money to the amount of 50,000 pounds to be lent at four per cent. on the security of real estate and receivable as tender in payment of taxes and debts. Copies of the bill were sent to the several towns, and the opinions of the voters were to be expressed in open town meeting. In this town the vote was against the emission of such paper. A majority of the towns voted in the same way. The remedy, it was seen, would ulti- mately prove a greater evil. The disaffected in the state held conventions in several counties and resorted to an armed inter- vention to obtain redress of grievances. This is what is known as Shay's Rebellion, led by Daniel Shay, which included some 12,000 or 15,000 young men throughout New England. On September 20, of that year, some 200 insurgents, one half of them mounted, under Joseph French of Hampstead and others, marched by way of Kingston to Exeter, surrounded the judicial and General Courts, and kept the Legislature prisoners for several hours. They demanded the issue of paper money to relieve the pressure of the times. President John Sullivan addressed them, saying: "You ask for justice, and justice you shall have." The cry was then raised, "Hurrah for govern- ment! Here comes Hackett's artillery." The mob dispersed and bivouacked west of Little River. The next day 2,000 armed

men under Capt. Nicholas Gilman marched in pursuit. Col. Joseph Cilley of Nottingham with his cavalry forded the stream and seized the ringleaders and led them to jail. With the up- rising of the citizens the movement was crushed out in a few hours. Colonel James Hill was on the court martial for the trial of the insurrectionary officers, accused of "stirring up and exciting the citizens of this state to levy war against the same."
War with Great Britain was declared June 19, 1812, and produced great consternation among the people. The political sentiment of Newmarket was largely in opposition to the war, and voluntary enlistments were few, consequently most of the men were drafted. These soldiers were quartered at the Plains at Portsmouth ready for service when called upon, but had little opportunity to show the measure of their heroic qualities.
