C'apt. Fishley was engaged, during the Revolution, in the service of his country, both upon sea and land. Ile has long been well known amongst us as a firm patriot and an excellent citizen, and his death will be lamented. Thus one after another the veterans who participated in the struggle for our independence are passing away."
Portsmouth Journal, Dec. 28, 1850.
"Capt. George Fishley. We gave in our paper last week a short obituary of this venerable citizen, who died in this city on the 26th of December [1850], in his 91st year.
Mr. Fishley possessed to the last years of his life, most of his faculties to a re- markable degree. For many years he has on publie occasions appeared con- spicuously in the processions, in a cocked- hat which almost vied in years with the wearer.
Ile was born on the 17th day of June, 1760. At the age of seventeen he en- tered the continental army under Gen. Poor and Col. Dearborn. In the course of the three years of his service he was at the battle of Monmonth {June 28, 1778 |, (In which action General Washing- ton commanded the American and Sir Henry ('linton the British forces), at the execution of Major Andre FOctober 2, Jis0], and In the various positions the
army occupied at that time. As an in- stance of revolutionary service, he related that just seventy-three years ago last Tuesday { December 31, 1777 ], he marched with his companions in arms, several miles, in the vicinity of Valley Forge, withont shoes or stockings.
After leaving the land service, he em- barked in a privateer on the ocean-was captured, and held as a prisoner at Hali- fax.
Ilis after life was spent mostly in trad- ing-for many years he had command of a coaster between Portsmonth and Bos- ton -- and when by the just provision of a grateful country pensions were granted to the soldiers of the Revolution, he be- came a recipient of that bounty, and was enabled thereby to descend in comfort to the grave.
In political feelings he was strongly Whig-so much so that when President Polk visited Portsmouth a few years since, he said he declined at first shaking hands with him, because he had no po- litical sympathies with him. In islo, when the great gathering of the Whigs of New Hampshire was made at Con- cord, a company of about 300 citizens went from Portsmouth. As au emblem of Commerce, a miniature ship wa- rigged, and was drawn from our wharves to the political capital of the State. The commander of this vessel, which will be long remembered, was Capt. Fishley.
In 1848 he celebrated his birthday, the With of June, in the great meeting on Bunker Hill { held to celebrate the com- pletion of the monument erected in com- memoration of the battle fought there sixty-eight years before].
Ile was among those few Revolutionary soldiers who were companions on that occasion. Incorporated in his very existence was the spirit of Th-and on all fitting occa- sions it was prominently visible.
With him the last of our cocked hats [and the last veteran of the Revolution residing here, excepting Mark Green and lohn Mcclintock ] has departed. He was an amiable man, a good citizen, and be- loved by all who knew him.
lle was buried from St. John's church on Tuesday last-the P'ortsmonth Greys doing the last military honors to the old patriot."
Portsmouth Journal, January 1, 1851.
George Fishley and Mark Green were the last surviving Revolutionary Soldiers residing in Portsmonth, and took part as such in many Fourth of July and other celebrations.
When President Polk visited Ports- month July 1, IS17, Fishley and Green, wearing their Continental uniforms and
2.1
cocked hats, were driven in a carriage in the procession.
It is told of Fishley that when Adams and Jefferson were buried in 1826, and a procession was contemplated in Ports- month, of which the Revolutionary he- roes were to form a part, the committee came to Fishley requesting him to ap- pear. lle asked who were to be there. All were named until - - was mentioned. "What" cried the old man, "lle a patri- ot! Why he was a d -- Hessian, and came over here to fight us for six pence a day. No s-i-r, I don't ride with such patriots as he !"" And ride he did not on the solemn occasion.

William Gardner was Ensign of Capt. John Langdon's company of Cavalry, which volunteered for, and took part in General Sullivan's campaign in Rhode Istand, in the summer of 1778.
"William Gardner was of Portsmouth, born in 1751. and bred a merchant, bo- coming a successful and wealthy one. Ile was one of the leading patriots of the town of Portsmouth, in word and deed. Being agent for clothing for the l'uited States, he received a requisition for blank- ets, when there were none in Portsmouth market, and no money in his hands, and still worse, the government had little credit.
Learning that a merchant of Newbury- ner repaired to that town to purchase, but was refused them on the credit of the government. Hle purchased them on pri- vate account, and gave his own note for them. The requisition was filled, the soldiers supplied, but when the note be- came due, Major Gardner had to pay it from his own funds, very much to his own inconvenience, if not injury. In af- ter years he presented his claim to a bank- rupt treasury in vain.
Ile was appointed ' U. S. Loan officer' by Washington, as some remuneration for his sacrifices. I am not aware that he held any other military office than the present one [see above],-which gave him the title of Major, as by the order of the Com- mittee of Safety, empowering Capt. JJohn Langdon to raise an independent company in Portsmouth, he was to rank as colonel, and of course, his lieutenant and ensign, as lieutenant colonel and major. Major Gardner continued as U. S. Loan Officer as long as the office was continued. He died April 29, 1833 [1831], in the 830 aldj. firm rat's Report, N. I. Vol. 2, 1866.
