We have not obtained the genealogies of several families, who either have been in the past, or are now, residents of Wilton. This applies especially to the early settlers. It also applies to families of the factory operatives, to some transient residents, and to some who have removed from town. It still further may apply to some established families of citizens, who, owing to our negleet or their own, have not been enrolled in our genealogical catalogue. We

In the extract from the Revolutionary War Rolls, given below, Mr. Hammond gives some account of the measures taken by the state of New Hampshire to check the advance of General Burgoyne :
In consequence of the evacuation of Ticonderoga by the Americans, and the southerly movement of the British force under Burgoyne threatening the subjugation of New England, the Committee of Safety of this state decided, on the 14th of July, 1777, to call the Legislature together for con- sultation, and accordingly sent notices to the members, requesting them to meet on the 17th of that month. In answer to the summons, the Council and House of Representatives met on the day appointed and immediately resolved themselves into a committee of the whole to join the Committee of Safety for a conference.
The state was at that time destitute of money and means, and had done all that the citizens generally supposed it could do in furnishing troops ; but the alternative was before them of assisting to check the advance of Burgoyne's army by sending a force to Vermont, or of having the battle- field of the future transferred to their own territory. On the second day of this special session the committee of the whole recommended that the inilitia of the state be divided into two brigades, the first to comprise the regiments in the eastern portion of the state and to be under the command of Brigadier-General William Whipple; the second to comprise those in the western portion of the state and to be under the command of Briga- dier-General John Stark. The committee also recommended that four companies of rangers be raised in the second brigade to scout on the frontiers, under the orders of General Stark. These recommendations were adopted by the Legislature the same day. Letters from Ira Allen. secretary of the Council of Safety of Vermont, earnestly entreating that troops be sent to their assistance, were then read in committee of the whole, of which Meshech Weare was chairman. The matter of furnishing men was fully disenssed, and it was generally coneeded that the exigency of the occasion required the raising and forwarding of a portion of the militia at once. The main question was as to obtaining money to pay and equip them. The treasury of the state was empty, and no way of replenishing it presented itself until the patriotie John Langdon arose,

and said : "I have one thousand dollars* in hard money. I will pledge my plate for three thousand more. I have seventy hogsheads of Tobago rum, which I will sell for the most it will bring. They are at the service of the state. If we succeed in defending our firesides and our homes, I may be remunerated. If we do not, then the property will be of no value to me. Our friend Stark, who so nobly maintained the honor of our state at Bunker Hill, may safely be entrusted with the honor of the enterprise. and we will check the progress of Burgoyne." This patriotic offer was received with enthusiasm, and the Legislature at once voted that one- fourth of Stark's brigade and one-fourth of Thornton's, Badger's and Webster's regiments of General Whipple's brigade be drafted and marched immediately for the defence of this and the neighboring states. This force was to be under the command of General Stark, who accepted the commission with the understanding that he was to exercise his own judg- ment in the management of his troops, and be accountable to and take orders from the authorities of New Hampshire, and no other. A draft was unnecessary; men enlisted with alacrity, and were forwarded to Charlestown (No. 4) by detachments, that place having been designated for rendezvous. As soon as five hundred men had arrived in Charlestown the impetuous Stark moved on with them to Manchester, Vt., leaving orders for others to follow. They reached the place August 7th, were reinforced by some of the " Green Mountain Boys," and received informa- tion of the intention of the enemy to capture the stores at Bennington. Gen. Stark pressed forward and reached that town on the 9th, accom- panied by Col. Seth Warner. The battle occurred on the 16th, and the result, as is well known, cheered and encouraged the Americans, dis- heartened the enemy, and led to the surrender of Burgoyne's army at Saratoga on the 17th of October following.

COVENANT.
The following is the covenant of the First Congregational Church, used by Rev. Jonathan Livermore, 1763-1777, and referred to on page 133 :
You now solemnly and publicly give up yourself to God in an everlast- ing covenant ; avouching the Lord Jehovah to be your God, the Lord Jesus Christ to be your Saviour and the Holy Spirit to be your sanctifier.
You promise to take the holy Word of God for the man of your coun- sel, declaring that you fix your hopes and expectations on the promises, and, through divine grace enabling you, you will live according to the instructions therein exhibited, obeying all the precepts and complying with all the ordinances therein enjoined.
You enter particularly into covenant with this church, engaging to hold communion with it in all the ordinances of the Gospel, especially baptism and the Lord's supper, and promise to submit to its discipline, wherein it observes the laws of Christianity given by Christ and His Apostles, and, as far as God shall enable you, you will live in the con- stant practice of all Christian duties, secret. private, public and social : that you will love God, honor the King and do good to all men, especially to the household of faith.
I promise in the name of the church that we will watch over you, not for your halting, but for your editication and comfort, praying that we and you may be built up together a spiritual house, and may offer spiritual sacrifices holy and acceptable to God, and that we may finally meet together in His heavenly kingdom.

SONG AT THE CENTENNIAL. 1839.
The following song was composed by Miss Sarah W. Livermore. as descriptive of the manners and customs of the early time, and was sung Sept. 25, 1839, at the Centennial celebration of the settle- ment of the town. by Solomon K. Livermore, Esq., of Milford :
1.
This town was all a forest deep One hundred years ago, sir, The vales were low, the hills were steep. And rivers wandered through, sir.
561
APPENDIX.
A few brave men, a pilgrim band, Sought this far-off location ;- They saw it was a goodly land. And here they fixed their station.
CHORUS :
Yankee Doodle, here's the place. Yankee Doodle Dandy. We like the right old-fashioned ways, They are so good and handy.
II.
From time to time the settlers came, And many a spot was built on : At length the town must have a name. And so they called it Wilton. Now wake the harp, and tune the lyre. To sing of ancient days, sir; This rural theme the song inspire To sound old Wilton's praise, sir.
CHORUS: Yankee Doodle, &e.
III.
Those good old days our fathers saw Has fashion strangely altered ; From customs good, which then were law, Have many widely faltered ; The aged now remember when All country folks must labor, And all who lived around were then To all a friend and neighbor.
CHORUS:
Yankee Doodle, this was right. Yankee Doodle Dandy. It helped to make the labor light When neighbors were so handy.
IV.
In homespun were the people dressed, Of woolen, tow or linen ; Their Sunday suits, which were the best. Were neatly made by women.
562
HISTORY OF WILTON.
And women then could wash and bake, And also were good spinners ; The maids could ply the hoe and rake. While matrons cooked the dinners. CHORUS: Yankee Doodle, &c.
V.
No draught from China's sultry land At morning meals was seen, sir; The black cow * gave a beverage bland, Few drank tea, black or green, sir; And coffee was not tasted then, To make their cares seem lighter. Although 'tis true that most good men Thought rum would make them brighter.
CHORUS :
Yankee Doodle, here we meet. Yankee Doodle Dandy, With goodly cheer our friends to greet. But not with rum and brandy.
VI.
Our fathers raised a house of prayer, When few there were to build it, And every Sabbath, foul or fair, The people nobly filled it ; To meeting went both young and old. "Twas then but little trouble, For none would keep a horse, we're told, That could not carry double.
CHORUS: Yankee Doodle, &c.
VII.
So all on horse-back then did ride. Unless they went by sledding, t And e'en the bridegroom and the bride Rode double to the wedding .;
* The milk of the black cow was a quaint name for bean porridge.
t Sleighs were not in use ; people rode to meeting in winter on sleds.
It was the custom for the bride to ride behind the bridegroom to the minister's house where the ceremony was performed.
563
APPENDIX.
And though the girls, we're told 'tis true. Could not then dance cotillons, We know that all the country through They used to ride on pillions.
CHORUS :
Yankee Doodle, all could dance, Yankee Doodle Dandy, No master then was brought from France To make them skip more handy.
VIII.
And now the times we say improve. And learning is more plenty : At railroad pace the people move, And when they're five and twenty They've gone the rounds of learned lore. Are fit for any station : Then quickly pass, are seen no more.
And thus goes on the nation.
CHORUS: Yankee Doodle, &c.
IX.
This season be a landmark strong. To guide us on our way, sir, And as we pass through life along, Let us not go astray, sir ; To good old days we'll bid adieu. And so we'll travel on, sir ;
We'll wish for all, good hearts and true, And will wind up our song, sir.
CHIORUS : Yankee Doodle, let us sing. Yankee Doodle Dandy, Old time is ever ou the wing, Improve it while it's handy.
APPENDIX IV.
The freshet, which is recorded on page 187, cost Wilton at least 860,000. The consideration which the town received was not, as was there stated, in the form of a remission of taxes. But it was
564
HISTORY OF WILTON.
effected in the following way: Hon. Chas. H. Burns, looking up an old statute law, saw a provision was made for such publie losses. and he brought a suit, by which Wilton should be paid a bonus for her great losses. It was on the principle that in the case of great public calamities, the burden should be borne not by one member of the commonwealth, but should be shared by all. The case was appealed from the Court of Common Pleas to the Supreme Bench of the state. The suit was considered by many as a very absurd one, much ridicule was expended upon it. and Mr. Burns was even appealed to by the authorities of the town to withdraw it from further action, lest it should entail a bill of expense. Whereupon he promised to assume all risks, and was eventually sustained by the decision of the supreme judges, and ten thousand dollars was paid Wilton from the county treasury.
