SUPPLEMENT.
SERVICE OF HAMPTON MEN IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
(Continued from Chap. XIV.)
The following record is gathered from New Hampshire State Pa- pers-Revolutionary Rolls, I, II, III. A few names of men outside the present limits of the town, whose families were and in some cases still are of Hampton, are recorded (as in Chap. XIV) ; and as resi- dences are not all given in the authority cited, it is quite possible that we have mistaken the identity of a few men of other towns, bearing Hampton names. Probably the full part this town bore in the Revo- lution will never be known ; certainly our rolls are not yet nearly com- plete, as is shown by the single record (Vol. 1 ; p. 556), that in March, 1777, of the men to be raised to fill up the Third regiment, Jonathan Moulton, Esqr., Colonel, Hampton's quota was one hundred sixty- seven.
The names following are of men enlisted at different times, under Captains Henry Elkins, Samuel Nay, Richard Weare (of H. F.), Moses Leavitt . (of No. H.), Winthrop Rowe (of K.) and others, for service at Portsmouth and as coast guards, and at various points in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York :

CAPT. HENRY DOW'S DIARY.
The little leather-covered book which has been quoted (pp. 248, 367, 578), and a specimen folio of which, reduced, is represented (facing p. 679), continues, up to the latest date of possible use for this His- tory, to baffle study as to many of its arbitrary characters. We are indebted to George Rogers Howell, M.A., of the State Library at Albany, N. Y., for the cipher alphabet and many other signs, and for a good beginning in the transliteration of the page presented. It has fallen to the editor to bring the study to its present stage, while many pages remain untouched.
