At a special town meeting held on the 14th of May of this year a resolution was adopted, that for the purpose of engaging soldiers in answer to future calls, the town should be divided into Classes, and the Selectmen and Mr. Ephraim Burge were chosen as a committee to " class the town." It appears that in pursuance of this resolu- tion the town was divided into eight " classes."
THE TOWN'S QUOTA OF BEEF FOR 17SI.
Special Town Meeting, June 25, 17SI. At this meeting the town " Voted that as the town is now divided into eight classes, the quantity of beef we have to get be divided to each class according

to valuation, (except as to non-residents) and that the Selectmen set down each man's portion of beef to his name and that if any class or person refuse to pay their or his proportion of beef the same shall be committed to the Constable to collect, and that the Selectmen shall set such sum in specie to such delinquent as will be sufficient to pay for his proportion of beef."
NEW CALL FOR SOLDIERS.
In the month of July of this year a requisition was made by the State upon the town for twelve men to serve in the army for three months. In consequence of this call a town meeting was held on the 19th of July, at which it was " voted that the eight classes into which the town was divided should be so coupled that each two classes should procure three good effective men." The Great Return shows that nine of these three months' men were enlisted and paid by the town. No record or other evidence is found in respect to the other three. A bounty of £15, or $50 each, was paid to the nine men engaged. They enlisted in the company of Capt. John Mills, in a small, incomplete regiment commanded by Col. Daniel Reynolds of Londonderry. It is not known where this regiment was employed, or that in fact it ever left the State. The war at this time was substantially at an end, and the regiment soon disbanded, and most probably for these reasons, the three remaining Hollis men were not engaged. The names of the nine men in Capt. Mills' company were,
Capt. William Brooks, Abner Keyes, B. Woods Parker, Asa Chamberlain, Daniel Merrill, Thomas Powell, Samuel Read.
Robert Connick, Jacob Mooar, Including three months' men and the twenty "Continentals," Hollis had this year in the service, in all, but twenty-nine soldiers, a number much less than that of any preceding year.
RUM FOR THE ARMY.
On the Ist of October of this year a town meeting was called to see what method should be taken to procure the Rum required of the town for the army, and Robert McGaw was chosen agent of the town to provide it. The town's quota in gallons is not stated in the record but at a subsequent town meeting, in December of this year a tax of £1oo, or $333 was voted to pay for it, and the necessary charges of the town.

NEW PLAN OF GOVERNMENT.
In the month of June, 1781, a State Convention was held at Con- cord to agree upon and propose a new " Plan" or system of State Government. Hollis had no delegate in this convention, the town, in the month of May previous, having voted not to elect. In the month of September next afterwards the convention reported its " plan " to be submitted to the people of the State at their town meetings. Early in January, 1782, a town meeting was called in Hollis to consider this plan, at which a committee of sixteen was chosen to examine it and make report of their sentiments in respec to it at an adjourned meeting on the 16th of January. Upon the coming in of the report of this committee, the town voted as follows : " Ist, to accept the Bill of Rights with an amendment reported by the Committee." " ad, To have a Governor under certain restric- tions, but that the power of the Governor set forth in the " Plan is too large." " 3d, That the present mode of representation be adopted and that each town pay its own representative."
This first plan reported by the convention was not accepted by a majority of the people of the State and the convention again met and made a second report in September. 1782. A town meeting was called on the 16th of December of this year to consider and act upon this new report. The extracts from the record of the meeting presented below exhibit the sentiments and doings of this

meeting. " Voted to reject said Plan of Government as it stands. yeas, 10, nays, 36." " It then being submitted to the town what amendment they would have instead of a Supreme Head to be styled a ' Governor,' Voted that we would choose to be governed similar to what we now are by a council and assembly-the President of the Council to be the Supreme Head of the State and in the recess. the General Court to have a Committee of Safety to assist the President."
It is said that this new plan was generally approved in the State but was not fully completed at the time news of peace arrived. The old form of government, having expired with the war, it was re- vived by the votes of the people and kept in force for one year longer. In the year following the new form was finished, and the name of " Governor " being changed to " President" it was printed a third time, and declared to be the civil Constitution of the State. and continued in force till the adoption of the present Constitution in September 1792.
NEW HAMPSHIRE RANGERS IN 1782.
Although the danger was not supposed to be great, yet as a mat- ter of precaution, companies of New Hampshire Rangers were kept in service on the northern frontier, known as the " Coos Coun- try, " in the summer and fall of 1782, to protect the inhabitants from threatened raids of the Indians in Canada. On the 4th of July of this year, Andrew Henderson of Hollis enlisted in a company of these Rangers, (in which he was a Sergeant) commanded by Capt. Jonathan Smith of Surry. Also on the 6th of July Jonas Willoughby of Hollis volunteered in a company employed in the same service commanded by Capt. Ebenezer Webster of Salisbury. the father of Hon. Daniel Webster. These companies were dis- charged about the middle of November, having been in the service about four and one-half months.
THE LAST SOLDIER OF THE HOLLIS CONTINENTAL QUOTA.
Previously to the beginning of 1782, active hostilities between the contending armies had virtually ended, yet the Continental Con- gress regarded it prudent that the ranks of the regular army should be kept filled. About the middle of July of this year, upon investiga- tion being made by a committee of the town, one man was found to be wanting in the Hollis quota. At a town meeting then held

the town " voted unanimously that one man more be raised by the town to serve in the Continental army and that the committee for that purpose procure him at discretion, immediately." It appears from the regimental returns of Col. Nichols, that on the 15th of July 1782, Jabez Youngman had enlisted as a soldier for Hollis for three years, thus making the Continental quota of the town com- plete. Youngman was the last soldier who volunteered for Hollis. and the only one called for this year for the regular army. His name is found on the roll of the Ist New Hampshire Continental regi- ment, in December, 1782, and he is supposed to have been in the service till the regiment was discharged, the next year, at the con- clusion of peace. The town paid him a bounty of £60 or $200, the same as paid to the Continental soldiers enlisted for three years, in ITS1.
NUMBER AND NAMES OF THE HOLLIS SOLDIERS.
It will be found on examination of the various lists and rolls. still existing, of the Hollis soldiers in the Revolution, that most of them enlisted more than once, and many of them on three or more different occasions ; but counting each name but once, it will appear that Hollis, at different times during the war, as nearly as can now be ascertained, furnished, with but few exceptions, from its own citizens, more than three hundred soldiers who for a longer or short- er time were in the military service-a number but little less than onc-fourth of its whole population.
Of these soldiers, there was one each of the names of Abbot. Adams, Ambrose, Atwell, Auld, Blanchard, Bonner, Boyd, Bruce. Burge, Campbell, Clark, Cowen, Danforth, Davis, Deane, Dickey, Elliot, Farmer, Farnsworth, Flagg, Foster, Gilson, Godfrey. Goss. Hazeltine, Henderson, Hill, Honey, Hopkins, Hosley, Kemp.

1783. Annual Town Meeting. Increase of the State Tax. At the annual March meeting of this year the town " Voted to enlarge the State tax £200 to defray the necessary charges of the war, and chose Dea. Daniel Emerson, Noah Worcester, Esq .. Capt. Daniel Kendrick and Ephraim Burge a committee to assist the Selectmen in settling with the Continental soldiers."
THE SENTIMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF HOLLIS IN RESPECT TO . THE TORIES.
As stated in the early part of this narrative, four of the citizens of Hollis were known as loyalists or tories, one of whom for a time was imprisoned for disloyalty. The remaining three left the cour- try early in the war, and their names were included in the act of confiscation, passed in 1778, by the New Hampshire General Court, and they, with many others, were forbidden to return to the country under the penalty of death.
After the end of the war; the British Commissioners, in their negotiations for peace, were persistent in their efforts to provide for the return of the banished adherents of the crown. and the restora- tion of their confiscated estates ; and this subject was widely and warmly discussed by the American press of the time, and in the primary assemblies of the people. A special town meeting in Hollis was called to consider this subject in the spring of 1783. "and to see if the Town would give their Representative any Instructions in respect to the Absentees from this State and their returning." As will appear from the following extract. which we copy from the record of that meeting. the sentiments of the people

of the town upon this question found expression in language more vigorous and emphatic than forgetful or forgiving, as follows :
" The minds of the people being tried in respect to the Returning of those Miserable Wretches under the name of Tories, Absentees or Conspirators,"
" Voted unanimously that they shall not be allowed to return or regain their forfeited Possessions."
" Voted that a Committee be chosen to give the Representative of this Town particular Instructions which may convey to him the unanimous sentiments of the people in respect to the Absentees above mentioned."
" Voted that Col. John Hale, Noah Worcester, Esq., Master Cumings, Dea. Boynton, Captains Dow, Goss and Kendrick be a Committee to give the Instructions above mentioned."
Representative to the General Court. On the 26th of Decem- ber of this year Dea. Daniel Emerson was chosen Representative to the General Court to be held at Concord in June.
Annual Town Meeting March 1, 1784. Atthe annual town meet- ing of this year Dea. Daniel Emerson was again chosen Representa- tive to the General Court to meet at Concord in June. At the same meeting the town " Voted to raise f21o to defray the charges of four Continental soldiers, viz., Elijah Clark, John Godfrey, Jacob Hobart and Jabez Youngman, and also that the selectmen should assist the Continental soldiers in preferring a petition to the General Court for a redress of Grievances in respect to their wages."
THE LAST TOWN MEETING IN RESPECT TO THE CONTINENTAL SOLDIERS, MAY 2, 1785.
"Voted that Noah Worcester and Daniel Emerson, Esqrs., and Mr. William Cumings be a Committee to look into matters relating to the Continental soldiers and see how matters stand in relation to making them or any of them a consideration for their services, and report at a future meeting."
At a special town meeting held afterwards on the 15th of Septem- ber this committee reported as follows: "That the Town in Justice ought to give free gratis to Thomas Pratt, David Sanderson, Joel Proctor, John Youngman and Thomas Wheat fIS to cach of them, for their voluntary service in the Continental Army." This report was accepted by the town and a tax for the amount assessed at the same meeting. Such was the honorable and characteristic close of the Hollis war meetings.

1785.] THE HOLLIS RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS. 199
THE HOLLIS RECORDS AND REVOLUTIONARY DOCUMENTS.
In the foregoing narrative it has been my aim to gather as far as practicable, from authentic sources, and to present in as little space as was consistent with perspicuity and historical accuracy, the annual doings of the people of Hollis in the seven years' war of the Revolution, and also somewhat of the sentiments and spirit which animated their efforts in the struggle for National Independence. Notwithstanding all the care I have used in my researches, it may be that some errors have escaped me.
In view of the lapse of one hundred years since our Revolution, and the long time since the last of the actors in its story have passed away, it would be passing strange if some mistakes have not unwittingly found their way into this narrative, which, if detected, I hope may be pardoned and corrected. But in the hope of avoid- ing important errors, I have in the main adhered closely to the Revolutionary documents and records of the State and town.
These records and documents of Hollis which I have so freely used and copied, and which so fully tell of the doings and purposes of the men who made them, I cannot but look upon as a precious and sacred legacy to their posterity, and to the present and future inhabitants of the town. We find in them all no sentiment of our ancestors which we would forget, no recorded act which does not do honor to their memories. The story as here told to some who may read it may seem needlessly prolix, and in some of its details tedious, still I am conscious that very many matters have been omitted, highly creditable to the actors in them, which interested me to know, and which if told would doubtless interest others as well. Yet I trust that in this imperfect narrative enough has been said, to satisfy all who have curiosity in such inquiries, that upon all occasions, from the beginning of the war to its end; our ancestors of Hollis did what at the time they believed to be their duty to their country, their own generation, and to their posterity, intelligently, promptly, and patriotically, with unfaltering courage, and the hope- ful assurance of final success.
In 1774, when that dark and portentous war cloud was still in the horizon. undismayed by its threatenings, they proclaimed in the face of it and inscribed upon their public records. " We will en- deavor at all times to maintain our liberties and privileges, both civil and sacred, at the risk of our lives and fortunes." When a few months later that cloud first burst at Lexington, the Hollis minute men with full ranks hastened to the scene of conflict.

HOLLIS RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS.
[1785.
On the night of the 16th of June the Hollis company, under the eye of the gallant Prescott, without sleep or food, were busy with their spades and pickaxes upon the carthworks at Bunker Hill. They were a part of that force, worn and weary with the work of the night, of whom it was curtly said by their brave Colonel, on the morning of the battle, in answer to a proposal to relieve them, and call fresh troops to the defence of the works they had built- " The men who built this fort will best defend it."
In the fall after that battle, when the ranks of the army at Cambridge were thinned and weakened by the base desertion of the Connecticut regiments, another company, mainly of Hollis volun- teers, with the New Hampshire reinforcements, promptly marched to the seat of war to supply the places of the mutineers.
In 1776 we find Hollis soldiers with the army in Canada, at Ticonderoga, in the garrisons at Portsmouth, at White Plains, and sharing in the bloody campaigns in New Jersey.
The next year, when Gen. Burgoyne was on his march from Canada to Ticonderoga, a company of fifty or more Hollis minute men is seen hastening to its defence. The same summer. after the fall of that fortress. we find a company, chiefly of Hollis soldiers, under the gallant Stark at the decisive battle and brilliant victory at Bennington. In the hard winter of 1777-8, when their Conti- mental soldiers were in the ill-supplied camp at Valley Forge, some of them barefoot and in rags, the nimble fingers of their mothers and sisters at home are seen busy for their relief.
In the summer of 1778, when Rhode Island was threatened with invasion, a company of forty-three mounted Hollis soldiers marched to aid in the defence. When in 17So West Point was endangered by the base treason of Gen. Arnold, we have seen how readily our ancestors responded to the call for volunteers: And in 1782, after the last battle of the war had been fought, when the Continental Congress thought it prudent to keep the ranks of the regular army filled, this last call was at once cheerfully and promptly met.
If we follow the campaigns of the regular army we shall find the Hollis Continental quota in the New Hampshire regiments with Washington at the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Monmouth and Germantown; with Gen. Gates at Stillwater and Saratoga : with Gen. Sullivan in the war against the Six Nations, and again with Washington at the final battles and surrender at Yorktown. The New Hampshire Continental regiments known as the .. Hampshire Boys " from the beginning to end of the war, were noted for their

fidelity to duty, their good conduct and intrepidity, and their commanders, the gallant Cilley, Poor and Scammell, could at all times rightfully say with the Trojan Ilector, in face of the dangers of battle,
" Where heroes war the foremost place we claim, The first in danger as the first in fame."

HOLLIS SOLDIERS KILLED OR DIED.
[1785.
The number of names in the list of deaths. is twenty-two. The Rev. Grant Powers, in his Centennial Address, states the loss of Hollis in the war, in killed or by disease, at thirty. He probably included in that number eight persons who in 1779 died in Hollis of the small pox, which he tells us was supposed to have been communicated by the enemy. The eight who died of that disease, added to the twenty-two, would make the Hollis loss of thirty as Mr. Powers states it.
The Hollis soldiers who received pensions from the Government, on account of permanent disabilities suffered in the service, either from wounds or disease, were Capt. Reuben Dow, Ensign William Wood, Thomas Pratt, (all wounded at Bunker Hill) Samuel Boyd and Stephen Richardson.
