HISTORY OF CANTERBURY.
The selectmen of Canterbury were directed by vote of the town to provide for the families of their citizens who were absent in the service.1 Nathaniel Glines evidently had to leave his fam- ily to the care of his neighbors when he joined the army. He enlisted for three years or during the war and appears to have served until the close of hostilities. That his family was not neglected by the town whose quota he had volunteered to help fill is shown by the following bill.2
"CANTERBURY, Feb. 4, 1780.
"The Accompt of Articles supply'd by the Select Men for Canterbury to the family of Nath'l Glines a Soldier in the service of sd Town in the Continental Army.

CENSUS OF REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONERS, 1840.
A census of the Revolutionary pensioners was taken in 1840 by the United States marshals of the several judicial districts, giving names, age and residence. This was published at Wash- ington, D. C., in 1841, by Blair and Rives, and republished in volume XXX of the New Hampshire State Papers. The fol- lowing were returned from Canterbury:

ROSTER OF ENLISTMENTS FROM CANTERBURY.
Samson Battis, age 89; John Lovis, 80; Morrill Shepherd, 75; Joseph Cleasby, 76; Sarah Clough, 80; Benjamin Bradley, 79; Elizabeth Moore, 76.
Sarah Clough was reported as residing with Joseph Clough and John Lovis with John H. Bennett. The others were evi- dently found at their own homes.
The following were returned from Northfield:
Elias Abbott, age 82; Jesse Carr, 83; John Dinsmore, 85; Samuel Dinsmore, 87; Samuel Goodwin, 93; Abner Flanders, 85.
ALPHABETICAL LIST OF CANTERBURY SOLDIERS.
The following is an alphabetical list of the soldiers furnished by Canterbury with such evidence as can be found identifying them as citizens of the town. Where the name of the soldier appears on the tax lists of Canterbury during the Revolutionary period, or among the signers of the Association Test from the town in 1776, or is found as a member of the train band and alarm lists, and the company in which the soldier enlisted was recruited in the vicinity of Canterbury, these facts are accepted as confirm- ing his residence. If a man of the same name held office in Can- terbury during the war, or immediately subsequent thereto, there is a presumption that he was a resident at the time of his enlistment. Where the men enlisted prior to becoming of age their identification with the town is more difficult to trace.
