THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR ROLLS.
INTRODUCTION BY THE EDITOR.
The first revolutionary act of the people of New Hampshire was the capture without bloodshed of Fort William and Mary, at New Castle, and the removal therefrom of about one hundred barrels of gunpowder, fifteen cannon, and sixty stand of fire-arms. This was accomplished on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of December, 1774, by a company of men led by John Langdon and John Sullivan, and was the first important seizure of munitions of war made by the revolutionary patriots in any of the colonies. The powder was secreted under Durham meeting-house, and some of it was conveyed to Medford. Mass .. and used at the battle of Bunker Hill in June following. The prime cause of this seizure was the reception in Portsmouth of a copy of an order passed by the king in council, pro- hibiting the exportation to America of military stores of any kind, and the movement was precipitated by information received by way of Paul Revere's express, from Boston, that the British war frigate Scar- borough was to be sent to New Castle to take possession of the port. Prior to this, in June and September of the same year, the citizens of Portsmouth and vicinity had forced the reshipment and removal out of the province of two cargoes of tea, accomplishing their pur- pose without bloodshed. and with but little tumult; but the firm and determined attitude of the people convinced the governor and con- signee that any resistance on their part would be ineffectual, and probably result in the destruction of the tea.
From December, 1774, to April following. the people were coun- selling among themselves, calmly deliberating upon the exigencies of the times, and energetically preparing for the crisis which they felt must come. The sentiment which pervaded the community is plainly shown by the address of the convention of delegates, which convened at Exeter January 25, 1775, in which they counselled the people to maintain peace, harmony, and union among themselves, to practise economy, to promote manufactures, avoid law-suits, improve

REVOLUTIONARY WAR ROLLS.
themselves in such military arts as would best fit them for real action in an engagement, and to imitate their forefathers by appealing to the Divine Being to espouse their righteous cause, secure their lib- erties, and " fix them on a firm and lasting basis."
Companies were formed and drilled, and when, on the 19th day of April, 1775, the crisis came, the men of New Hampshire dropped their implements of industry, seized whatever they could of imple- ments of warfare, and by companies, by tens, by fives, and by twos hurried to the front. The same spirit pervaded the women, many of whom spent the nights of the 19th and 20th in making clothes, baking bread, and moulding bullets for their husbands and sons, bidding them good-bye at daylight, with a God-speed upon their tremulous lips, and while the men went forth to repel the invading army, the women tilled the soil. spun the yarn, and wove the cloth that clothed the family. The number of men who went from this state to Cambridge at that time is unknown ; many were not organ- ized in companies, some returned after being absent from one to two weeks, and many enlisted for eight months, forming the nucleus for the regiments of Stark and Reed, which did admirable service at Bunker Hill.
The following are all the rolls which the editor has been able to find of the men who went to Cambridge " on the alarm of the battle of Lexington."
