The following passage is taken from Hammond's Revolutionary War Rolls of New Hampshire, page 240 :
On the 30th of November. 1775. Gen. John Sullivan [of New Hampshire ]. who was in command of the troops on Winter Hill. near Boston. wrote a letter to the New Hampshire Committee of Safety. from which is extract- ed the following : " I have by command of General Washington to inform you that the Connecticut forces ( Deaf to the entreaties of their own as well as all other officers, and regardless of the contempt with which their own government threatens to treat them on their return) have absolutely re- fused to tarry till the first day of January, but will quit the lines on the Gth of December. They have deceived us & their officers by pretending there would be no difficulty with them till they have got so near the close of their term: and now. to their eternal infamy, demand a bounty to in- dnee them to tarry only the three weeks. This is such an insult to every American that we are determined to release them at the expiration of their term at all hazards, & find ourselves obliged immediately to supply their places with Troops from New Hampshire & Massachusetts Bay."
The number asked for from New Hampshire was thirty-one companies. of sixty-four men each. including officers, and they were to serve until January 15. 1776. if required. The Committee of Safety met Dec. 2. and gave orders for enlisting the men : and the business was prosecuted with the usual impulsive and patriotic vigor of the New Hampshire men of that time. The thirty-one companies were raised and forwarded in due time, and were highly complimented by General Washington. In a let- ter to the Committee of Safety. dated Dec. 8. 1775. General Sullivan says : . General Washington and all the other officers are extremely pleased & bestow the highest encomiums on you and your troops. freely ac- knowledging that New Hampshire Forces for bravery and resolution far surpass the other Colonies, & that no Province discovers so umch zeal in the common cause."
There are no rolls of these companies in the State House, and the el-

In answer to a requisition from General Washington. the Legislature [of New Hampshire] on the fourth day of December. 1776. " Voted. That five hundred men be Draughted from the several Regiments in this State as soon as possible, and officered and sent to New York." On the

day following. the Legislature appointed the field officers as given below. The canse of this call was, that the terms of service of the troops in gar- rison at Fort George and Ticonderoga would expire on the last day of December. and if their places were not filled those posts would fall into the hands of General Sir Guy Carleton.
FIELD AND STAFF.
Colonel. David Gihnan, Pembroke; Lt. Col., Thomas Bartlett, Notting- ham: Major. Peter Coffin. Exeter; Surgeon. Joseph Barnes, Litchfield : Adjutant. - Thurber; Quartermaster, Samuel Brooks, Jr., Exeter.
In Capt. William Walker's company, of this regiment, were the following from Wilton : Ebenezer Perry, Lieut., Jacob Adams and Jonathan Hartshorn. Jacob Adams was, that year, one of the selectmen of Wilton.
The following note by Mr. Hammond is taken from the Revolu- tionary War Rolls, page 480 :
The preceding rolls show that the State of New Hampshire performed her share of the work of 1776 in full. as she had the year before. respond- ing ably and patriotically to every call made upon her for men. In sev- eral instances her troops remained in the service beyond their terms of enlistment, notwithstanding they were of necessity scantily fed and clothed. and poorly provided with protection against the inclemency of the weather. In no instance. when the exigency of the occasion seemed to require their services beyond their terms of enlistment, were they ap- pealed to in vain. The state had three regiments in the regular or conti- nental army under General Washington. viz. : Stark's, Poor's and Reed's; a regiment in the Canada service under Col. Timothy Bedel: Col. Pierse Long's regiment, which was stationed for the defence of Piscataqua har- bor until it marched to reënforce the garrison at Ticonderoga in Februa- ry, 1777 ; and in addition it furnished five regiments of militia as reën- forcements. viz .. Wyman's and Wingate's in July and August. Tash's and Baldwin's in September, and Gilman's in December.
New Hampshire troops participated in the battles at Trenton and Princeton, and honored themselves and the state by their bravery and good conduct. At Trenton the regiment under Stark led one of the at- tacking columns which was commanded by General Sullivan.
Colonel James Reed, of Fitzwilliam, commander of the Third New Hampshire regiment in the continental service, became blind as a result of severe sickness, contracted while in the line of duty at Fort George. abont the first of September, 1776, and was consequently obliged to retire from active service. He had been a brave and ethicient officer, and the loss of his sight was a severe one to him and the cause. The continental con- gress elected him to be a brigadier-general. August 9. 1776, and on the same day elected John Sullivan to be a major-general.

HISTORY OF WILTON.
EXTRACTS FROM WAR ROLLS. - CONTINUED.
The following note by Mr. Hammond, and the accompanying characteristic letter of General Sullivan, are taken from the Revolu- tionary War Rolls, p. 522 :
Colonel David Gilman's regiment was enlisted in December, 1776, and remained in the service beyond the time for which the men were engaged. at the earnest request of General Sullivan. It participated in the battles of Trenton and Princeton. and did excellent service in both. At the bat- tle on the 26th of December, which resulted in the capture of the Hessians at Trenton. New Jersey. this regiment was a portion of the right division. which was under the command of Major-General John Sullivan. The conduct of the New Hampshire and other New England troops on that occasion. and at Princeton on January 3. 1777. is set forth in the follow- ing extract of a letter from General Sullivan to Hou. Meshech Weare. dated Chatham. February 13. 1777 :
" I have been so full of Business that I could not find time to write: but still I have a more weighty reason, which is. That I cannot give all account of a victory or defeat where I was an actor without saying some- thing for or against myself : and I have a great aversion to writing against myself. and to write in favor would be evidence of a very suspicious kind. Indeed, I always had an aversion to fighting upon paper : for I have never vet found a man well versed in that kind of fighting. that would practise any other. Perhaps you may want to know how your men (the Yankees) tight : I tell you exceeding well when they have proper officers. I have been much pleased to see a day approaching to try the difference between Yankee cowardice and southern valor. The day has or rather the days have arrived, and all the General Officers allowed and do allow that the Yankees' cowardice assumes the shape of true valor in the field: and the Southern valor appears to be a composition of boasting and conceit. General Washington made no seruple to say publicly. the remains of the Eastern Regiments were the strength of his army. though then their num- bers were. comparatively speaking. but small : he calls them in front when the Enemy are there : he sends them to the rear when the Enemy threat- ens that way : all the general officers allow them to be the best of Troops. The Southern officers and soldiers allow it in times of danger, but not at all other times. Believe me. Sir. the Yankees took Trenton before the other Troops knew anything of the matter more than that there was an engage- ment. and what will still surprise you more. the line that attacked the Town consisted of eight hundred Yankees aud there was 1600 Hessians to oppose them. At Princeton, when the 170 Regiment had thrown 3500 southern militia into the utmost coufusion, a Regimeut of Yankees restored the day. This General Mifflin confessed to me : though the Phil- adelphia papers tell us a different story. It seems to have been quite for- got. that while the 17th Regiment was engaging those Troops that 600 Yankees had the Town to take against the 40th aud 55th Regiments, which

they did without loss owing to the manner of attack ; but enough of this : I don't wish to reflect ; but beg leave to assure you that Newspapers and even Letters don't always speak the truth. You may venture to assure your friends that no men fight better or write worse than the Yankees, of which this Letter will be good evidence.
" Dear Sir, I am, with much esteem. your most obedt servant, " Jnº Sullivan. .. Hon. Meshech Weare, Esq."
In 1777 the three continental regiments from New Hampshire were reorganized, as Mr. Hammond explains in the following note taken from Revolutionary War Rolls, page 551 :
Early in the year 1777 the Legislature and Committee of Safety of this state took effectnal means to recruit and reorganize the three continental regiments. Orders for the enlistment of men were sent to officers in ser- vice in the regiments, and to the colonels of the several militia regiments in the state. Stark resigned the command of the First regiment ; Poor of the Second and Reed of the Third were promoted to be brigadier-gener- als : and many changes were made in the line officers in consequence of resignations, deaths, sickness. &c .. although most of those who were in health remained in the field. and a large portion of the men reenlisted for three years, or during the war. As reorganized in April, Stark's old reg- iment retained its rank as the First New Hampshire Regiment, Reed's be- come the Second, and Poor's the Third, commanded respectively by Joseph Cilley of Nottingham. Nathan Hale of Rindge, and Alexander Seammell of Durham.
In order to fill up the three continental regiments it was necessa- ry to raise, from the militia regiments of the state, three battalions of 2064 privates. The eighth regiment of militia, " Moses Nichols, Esq., Colonel," comprised those of military age in the towns of Amherst, " Nottingham west," Hollis, Litchfield, Dunstable, Mer- rimac, Wilton, Raby and Mason. In March. 1777. there were in these towns 1252 men from sixteen to fifty years of age ; 128 of them belonging to Wilton. The whole regiment was required to furnish 155 men. These were enlisted from Wilton :
Win. Adrin Hawkins, Ebenezer Carlton, Joseph Lewis, Jacob Blanchard. Christopher Martin, Uriah Ballard. Amos Holt, William Pettengill, Joseph Gray, William Burton. Nehemiah Holt. John Moss. Nathaniel Needham.
In the roster of the officers of Colonel Seammell's regiment, under date of April, 1777, we find these names :
Isaac Frye. of Wilton. Captain. date of commission. Nov. 7. 1776.
William Hawkins, of Wilton. Lient .. date of commission, Nov. 7. 1776.
