William Mead of the Neck had married Eunice Roberts, the daughter of Lieu- tenant Joseph Roberts who lived near his old home. Their son, Joseph R. who lived later in the same house, also married a Roberts, Mary; but the three chil- dren of the next generation each married a Boynton of the Boynton family near the New Hampton line.


Two of the three children of the second Joseph R. and Mary Boynton are living, Mrs. Nellie M. Wyatt of Laconia, and Albert Frank who lives in the old house. We are indebted to Mrs. Wyatt and Arthur J. Mead, the son of William, for the family history and to Mrs. Wyatt for the picture.

THE JOSEPH R. MEAD HOMESTEAD


by the land where the Prescotts lived and the Gilman houses, because we are nearing the village now, and Mr. Maloon in the Meredith News has covered the ground in so interesting a way. We will turn in, however, at the corner where John Davis now lives. At the very end of the road is the spot where the David Gilman house stood and the old Daniel Chase house over in the field. Near here is swampy land and a little brook flows down from Little Pond. The other end of the old cross road comes into this road also.


On returning to the main road we note the Batchelder house on the lot where Abram Bryant, the son of Robert, lived before building the house near the pond. To reach the house to which James Bickford moved from Bear Island, we take a lane leading from the old road. Here Roy F. Bickford has added many acres to the farm, his land reaching to the pond and far up the hill.


We climb now the steep hill on the old road, and after taking one last look at the hills, bid good-bye to the Neck.

CHASE TAYLOR'S COMPANY By Capt. Robert S. Foss


Local interest in the Revolutionary War is largely centered about Capt. Chase Taylor and his company of militiamen, organized in Sanbornton. Captain Tay- lor was born in Stratham, N. H., in March, 1728, married Phebe Hays and settled in Stratham, whence he removed to Sanbornton, in November, 1768, with his family of seven children (two others born in Sanbornton). He was a man of great physical strength and energy of character, and took a prominent part in the early affairs of the town, as well as the Revolutionary struggle.


Early in July, 1777, the "alarm" was sounded through central and western New Hampshire that Burgoyne's northern army, after the reduction of Ticon- deroga, was to ravage the eastern colonies and settlements. Captain Taylor was equal to the occasion; he immediately raised a company of twenty men in San- bornton and forty-eight in other nearby towns, and although nearly destitute of supplies of all kinds, marched his men to Charlestown (No. 4), on the Connecticut river, where, finding the menace not immediately threatening, they waited several days to permit the arrival of provisions and other much-needed supplies, especially gun flints.


While waiting at Charlestown for supplies, Captain Taylor's company was largely augmented in numbers by the constant addition of new men. In fact the company was temporarily enlarged to about double the required number of men. As soon as his supplies arrived, with his now large and resolute company he pushed forward with all possible speed for Bennington, by way of Manchester, and arrived on the field and reported to Colonel Stickney with 118 men, just be- fore the battle opened. Without rest or refreshment the company plunged into the fray and the green farmer-soldiers are said to have fought like hardened veter- ans-like wildcats, their defeated opponents said.


Captain Taylor was severely wounded early in the battle, a musket ball break- ing his hip. Although in terrible pain, he refused to leave the field, but continued to cheer and direct his men until the victory was won, and was finally carried from the field by Ephraim Fisk and others and made as comfortable as possible until morning, when arrangements were made to remove him to his home in Sanborn- ton, Caleb Gilman and Ebenezer Judkins being discharged from active service (August 17th) for the purpose of accompanying and caring for him on his terrible journey. For four months thereafter he and his son Nathan, who was also badly wounded about the same time, were confined to the same house.


Captain Taylor had four sons in the Revolutionary War-Chase Jr., born March 28, 1752, in Stratham, and died of disease, August 1, 1776, aged 24; Nathan, born October 29, 1754, in Stratham, badly wounded by the Indians near Ticonderoga, June 17, 1777; William, born March 26, 1757, in Stratham; Thomas, born December 3, 1759, in Stratham, died of disease, in camp, August 25, 1777, age 18.

OLD GUN AND POWDER HORN


This gun belonged to Capt. Joshua Crockett of Meredith and was used at the battle of Bennington by Rev. Nicholas Folsom who was a private in Capt. Chase Taylor's company.


[ 102 ]


The company was engaged July 22 and discharged before September 30. The Meredith men were paid for 80 miles' travel out (to Charlestown) and 190 miles home. Captain Taylor received an order on the state treasurer for the amount of his company's payroll December 25, 1777.


Captain Taylor was placed on the pension rolls March 4, 1789. He died August 13, 1805, aged 77 years and 5 months. He signed the Association Test in San- bornton in 1776.


THE BENNINGTON CAMPAIGN


By Capt. Robert S. Foss


In consequence of the evacuation of Ticonderoga by the Americans and the southerly movement of the British forces under Burgoyne, threatening the subju- gation of New England, early in the month, the Committee of Safety of New Hampshire decided, on the 14th of July, 1777, to call the Legislature together for consultation, and accordingly sent notice to the members, requesting them to meet at Exeter on the 17th of the same month, giving them only three days' time to assemble, indicating a grave situation.


In answer to the urgent appeal, the members of the Council and House of Rep- resentatives met at the appointed time and immediately resolved themselves into a committee of the whole to join the Committee of Safety for a conference.


New Hampshire at that time was destitute of money and means, and had done all that the citizens generally supposed could be done in the way of 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 battlefield transferred to their own territory.


On the second day of this special session the committee of the whole recom- mended that the militia of the state be divided into two brigades, the first to com- prise the regiments in the eastern portion of the state and be under the command of Brig .- Gen. William Whipple, and the second brigade to comprise those regi- ments in the western part of the state and be under the command of Gen. John Stark. The committee also recommended that four companies of rangers be raised in the second brigade, to scout on the frontiers, under 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 Hon. Meshech Weare was chairman. The matter of fur- nishing men was fully discussed, and it was generally conceded 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 the men. The treasury of the state was empty and no way of replenishing it presented itself until the patriotic 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 hogs- heads of Tobago rum, which I will sell for the most it will bring. They are at the


[ 103 ]


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 Whipple's Brigade be drafted and marched imme- diately for the defence of this and the neighboring state. The force was to be under the command of General Stark, who accepted the commission with the understanding that he was to exercise his own judgment in the management of his troops and be accountable to and take orders from the authorities of New Hampshire, and no others.


A draft was unnecessary, men enlisting with alacrity. As soon as enrolled they were marched to Charlestown by detachments, that place having been designated for rendezvous. As soon as 500 men had arrived at Charlestown the impetuous Stark moved on with them to Manchester, Vermont, leaving orders for others to follow as fast as possible. Stark and his first contingent reached that place August 7, his crude, untrained farmer-soldiers, ununiformed and poorly armed, marching all the way, over rough roads or where there were none at all. Here they were reinforced by some of the Green Mountain boys, and soon were in- formed that it was the purpose of Burgoyne's vanguards to capture the military stores at Bennington. Stark and his rather ludicrous little "army" pressed for- ward without hesitation, prepared to combat, fearlessly, the skilled British sol- diery. Col. Seth Warner joined the small Stark force and assisted in the preparations for the coming conflict.


The historic Battle of Bennington occurred on the 16th, seven days after Stark's arrival, and the result, as is well known, cheered and encouraged the Americans and disheartened the enemy, and led to the surrender of Burgoyne and his entire army, at Saratoga, on the 17th of October, in this the New Hampshire men took a prominent part, "fighting like wildcats," the Britishers afterward asserted.


The brigade under Stark was organized into three regiments, commanded respectively by Colonels Moses Nichols of Amherst, Thomas Stickney of Con- cord and David Hobart of Plymouth.


General Stark's staff consisted of Maj. Stephen Peabody of Amherst; Maj. John Casey, clerk and Adjutant, Epsom; Robert McGregor, and Col. Samuel Ashley of Claremont. Of the approximately two thousand Americans engaged in the Battle of Bennington, New Hampshire furnished 1467, about 73 per cent.


As to why Captain Taylor arrived on the battlefield at Bennington with about double the number of men with which he left Sanbornton, it can be easily ex- plained. General Stark's brigade of three regiment shaving left Charlestown several days in advance of Captain Taylor, and having exhausted the supplies, the latter had to wait for new supplies before he and his company, scantily equipped even then, could advance, and meanwhile belated arrivals belonging to companies that had already left for the front were constantly coming in and necessarily being taken care of by Captain Taylor.


[ 104 ]


These late recruits, from many distant parts of the state, were generally anxious to participate in the operations to prevent Burgoyne's further advance, and eager- ly availed themselves of the opportunity to go along with Captain Taylor's com- pany. Most of these raw recruits did heroic service in defeating General Baum's army of Hessians (Germans), well-seasoned and big, desperate fighters, who antic- ipated little difficulty in overcoming the New England "farmers."


It is to be regretted that no rolls of these straggling but determined and pa- triotic New Hampshire recruits can be found. Many of them were hastily buried in unknown graves on the field of battle.


It is also regrettable that the Honorable John Langdon has never received more than the scantiest credit for the very valuable and timely part he so promptly and patriotically took in the Bennington campaign.


First, it was his practical and trained mind that grasped the fact that General Stark, that successful old bulldog Indian-fighter and strategist, unfettered by official red tape, was the ideal person for commander-in-chief of the expedition.


Second, his ready offer to pledge his worldly wealth and future for the necessary military supplies-without which the expedition could not even start out-easily procured those supplies niany valuable days before the state could have procured them-if it ever could have done so. That act alone enabled Stark to confront the British under General Baum many days before they could work the havoc and destruction that was assigned to them to accomplish.


EFFECT OF THE BATTLE OF BENNINGTON


A few words about this urgent military call being termed "the alarm," for it was an alarm and a very serious one to every settler throughout at least all of northern New England, for only a few years before the breaking out of the Revo- lution the most dreaded word in the English language to those back town set- tlers was that terrible word, Indians. For years to them the meaning of that one word was a terror by day and a horror by night. Many of them had been unwilling actors in those scenes of fiendish brutality and carnage, and now after a few years of peace these terrible scenes were about to be reënacted on a very much larger and more thorough scale that practically meant extermination, if Burgoyne's march southward was not halted and his well organized and equipped army beaten or destroyed.


The earlier Indian raids on the settlers had generally been made by small bands who confined their raids to small areas, perhaps a small settlement or village and a few scattered settlers near their line of march, and those surprise attacks usually lasted but a few brief hours, as the Indian very seldom engaged in prolonged attacks or siege operations. But now, if Burgoyne was successful, his mode of warfare was to be conducted along entirely different lines, for Bur- goyne's army was accompanied by a large and bloodthirsty force that, with the hated Hessians, was to be turned loose to ravage and destroy, while the settlers generally would be unable to defend their little homes and families against this formidable and systematic attack.


With these terrible conditions facing the settlers, it was but natural that every ablebodied man and boy, without regard to age, should volunteer to face Gen.


[ 105]


Burgoyne's trained veterans as far from home as possible; and the very efficient work that they did on that hot August day is a lasting and shining monument to their valor and noble sacrifice in a worthy cause.


History has but little to say about the important results of the Battle of Ben- nington, while in all probability no other battle fought on American soil had more far-reaching and important results to the United States. Soon after the Battle of Bunker Hill several very able and level headed English statesmen tried in vain to impress upon the British officials the vast magnitude and very doubtful result of trying to subjugate the American people by force of arms; but force of arms it must be, and the quickest and easiest way was to separate the rebel forces along the line of the Hudson River and the lakes. This line could be quite easily defended in a large measure by their navy, leaving their large army free to move about the country unfettered. Consequently the British assembled one of their best equipped and most ably officered armies in Canada for that ex- pedition down the lakes and the Hudson River, confidently expecting the friendly Tories and what foraging expeditions could collect from the country would amply supply this vast army with sufficient food, as well as with horses and other live stock, and so render the country through which they operated unten- able to any and all rebels.


If their plans had worked, all would have been well and the rebellion crushed in a short time, for on reaching New York City Burgoyne, after a brief rest and refitting, could have turned east and easily overrun the New England States, lived off the country through which he operated, captured or destroyed all rebel property and left patriotic settlers destitute and helpless for years. With the Northern States conquered, it would have been an easy task to subjugate the rest of the country and delay independence for decades at the best.


But by the decided and unexpected victory at Bennington Burgoyne was deprived of the much needed help of a considerable force of tried and trusted troops, not to mention the food supplies for which his main army was actually suffering, with no earthly prospect of procuring them, as well as a supply of horses to move his baggage train and artillery, in case he attempted to retreat from his perilous situation. Thus it is very plain that, despite the fact that Bennington from a strictly military point of view was a small affair, it was one of the utmost importance to the patriots, since it compelled the surrender of Bur- goyne with his whole army and gained the recognition of the independence of the United States by France, and later by other countries.
