55. JOHN SWAN, according to the former History of Dublin, as well as Mr. Mason's Centennial Address, enlisted from Dub- lin. Mr. Mason states that he was known as Lieutenant Swan, and that he died soon after 1780. He lived on the fifth lot of the fourth range, where Asa Fisk and John E. F. Baldwin have lived more recently. He probably settled there about 1770, as his name first appears on the tax-list in 1771. The date of his death is unknown. There were several John Swans. There was a younger man of the same name in the war from Peterborough. We think that the man whom Mr. Derby mentions as being in the regiment of Col. George Reid in 1779, at 38 years of age, was a son of Alexander Swan of Peterborough, and a nephew of Lieut. John Swan of Dublin. Both of them had the title of Lieutenant. The younger Swan was married in 1764. If he were 38 in 1779, he was born about 1741, and would be 23 years of age in 1764. He died in the State of New York, about 1836. According to Mr. Mason's Centennial Address, the Dublin Committee of Safety recommended John Swan as a suitable person to receive a command in the army. It was doubtless their own citizen whom they recommended, who died soon after 1780, from evidence adduced by Mr. Mason. The History of Peterborough gives the genealogy of both men. The Dublin John would be considerably advanced in years, but other men from that town entered the service who were of about the same age.
56. GARDNER TOWNE (or TOWN) was in Capt. Joseph Par- ker's company in the summer of 1776, and was also in Capt. Samuel Twitchell's company in the Rhode Island campaign in 1778. He owned for five years, 1772 to 1777, the eighth lot of the fourth range, afterwards the Hamilton place. He then owned for seventeen or eighteen years lot 6 of range 9, and lived on the site of the place where Mr. Lampman now lives. Four years later, in 1799, Mr. Towne, still living in Dublin, sold land in the north-east corner of the town, near Dinsmoor

HISTORY OF DUBLIN
Pond. He removed to Stoddard, where he became a trader. According to the census of 1790, he owned a slave, and was the only Dublin person who owned a slave. The slave's name was Caesar Freeman (the last name of a slave usually being that of some former owner, or of the owner for the time being). On his twenty-first birthday anniversary, July 8, 1790, Mr. Towne gave Caesar his freedom. Mr. Towne was born at Souhegan West (now Amherst, N. H.), June 6, 1741. He married Abigail Hopkins, a native of Charlestown School Farm (now a part of Amherst, N. H.). We have not learned the place and date of his death.
57. ABEL TWITCHELL, a brother of Capt. Samuel Twitchell, probably came to Dublin in 1773, and first appears upon the tax-list of 1774. He lived on the Capt. Joseph Hayward place, on the spot where the old curry shop stood. He took his family to Sherborn for a short time, that he might enlist in the war, from that place, with some old neighbors. Shortly after the evacuation of Boston he returned to Dublin and lived in what is now Harrisville on the thirteenth lot of the tenth range, where Allen Bancroft subsequently lived. In 1776, he enlisted from Dublin. He died in Dublin, March 8, 1837.
58. CAPT. SAMUEL TWITCHELL was distinguished for holding the highest rank of any man who served for Dublin in the Revo- lution. He was a lieutenant in Capt. John Mellen's company, which reinforced the army at Ticonderoga in the summer of 1777. He was the captain of a company in the Rhode Island campaign, in the summer of 1778. He was born in Sherborn, Mass., Aug. 24, 1740, the son of Joseph Twitchell, Esq., a prominent citizen of that town, who bought much land in Dub- lin. Samuel Twitchell removed to Dublin in 1762, and settled on the seventh lot of the first range, on a spot near the resi- dence of the late Jacob Gleason, and operated a saw and grist- mill on the site of the later mill near this place. In 1769, he bought the water privilege at the outlet of Thorndike Pond. He was prominent in the affairs of Dublin, having served sev- eral times as moderator, selectman, and representative. He was also a coroner and a justice of the peace. He also appears to have been a member of the Dublin church from its organiza- tion in 1772. His father, who was an agent of the early proprie- tors, was instrumental in bringing about twenty-seven of the early settlers from Sherborn to Dublin. Samuel Twitchell was a lieutenant in the army, from June 28, 1772, to July 2 of the same year, in Capt. John Mellen's company, in Col. Enoch

Hale's regiment. He was succeeded by Oliver Wright of Marl- borough. In August, 1778, Samuel Twitchell was the captain of a company, from Dublin and other towns, in Col. Enoch Hale's regiment, which participated in the Rhode Island cam- paign. It is believed that Capt. Twitchell had been an officer in the Dublin military company previous to 1777. It is stated that he was the third commander of that company, and that his successor was commissioned, Feb. 16, 1786. Capt. Twitchell died in Dublin, April 16, 1820. He was the father of the distin- guished physician and surgeon of Keene, Amos Twitchell, M.D.
59. STEPHEN TWITCHELL was the son of Gershom Twitchell, Sr., who came to Dublin from Sherborn, Mass., and was prob- ably a relative of the two preceding soldiers. Stephen was a private in Capt. Abijah Smith's company. He was serving in New York in September of 1776, and was in Capt. John Mel- len's company in the summer of 1777. He was married in 1779, and lived a few years in a house that stood at the south end of the twelfth lot of the ninth range (now in the town of Harris- ville), where Jonathan Townsend was living in 1853. His first three children were born at that place. He moved from town and we have not learned the place and the date of his death.
60. ABRAHAM VAN NORTH served in Capt. Samuel Blodgett's company, in the campaign of 1777. On January 10, of that year, he was reported to have been absent from that company, which was in Col. Nathan Hale's regiment. He was in the seventh company of Col. George Reid's regiment in 1780. We have been unable to trace his later history. There is no deed on record which shows that he ever owned any land in Dublin.
61. JOHN WIGHT, whose name appears on the Revolutionary Rolls as JOHN WRIGHT, served at Bennington and Stillwater, in the company of Capt. Salmon, in the summer of 1777. He enlisted again, July 15, 1779, for a year, and received £60 as a bounty. He came from Medfield, Mass., and settled (according to the History of Dublin) upon the seventeenth lot of the eighth range, probably a little west of the Adams house, where traces of a cellar are visible. He is said to have removed from Dublin, and we have found no record of his death.
62. SAMUEL WILLIAMS was a private soldier in the company of Capt. Mellen, in the summer of 1777. He was an early set- tler in Dublin, upon the twentieth lot of the fifth range, at the corner of two roads, where B. P. Hardy afterwards lived. His four children whose births are recorded in Dublin were all mar- ried to children of Thomas White, another early Dublin settler.
196
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
The Whites moved to Cornish, N. H., where the Williams family possibly went. This soldier is probably the Samuel Williams, who died, March 23, 1799, in his 47th year, accord- ing to the headstone in Dublin cemetery.
63. EBEN WOODS received coat money in the company of Capt. Samuel Richards, and regiment of Col. John Stark, in 1775, and was in the company of Capt. John Mellen, with other Dublin men, in the summer of 1777. We have no record of his later life, or of his death. There is no recorded deed that shows that he ever purchased any land in Dublin.
64. OLIVER WRIGHT signed the Association Test in 1776, in Dublin, and was on the tax-list for 1777. He was in the com- pany of Capt. John Mellen in 1777. This name occurs frequently upon the Revolutionary Rolls, in connection with Alstead, Hol- lis, and Marlborough. The references are not always to the same person probably, and it is difficult to discriminate. This Oliver Wright did not purchase land in Dublin, so far as records show. He is undoubtedly the same person who purchased land in Marlborough in 1778, who was known as Lieut. Oliver Wright, who passed the remainder of his days in that town, and died there, May 20, 1820. He had a large family of chil- dren. The Oliver Wright of Keene, an early settler, came there from Amherst, N. H.
Rev. JOSEPH FARRAR, the first pastor of the First Congre- gational (Unitarian) Church of Dublin, was a chaplain in the Revolution. He had then left Dublin, but it is understood that he had enlisted in the army before he could conveniently move his effects.
Other persons, that afterwards resided in Dublin, were sol- diers of the Revolution. The names of such, preserved by tra- dition, are: BENJAMIN SMITH, ALEXANDER EAMES (last name then more frequently spelled EMES), DAVID TOWNSEND, SOLO- MON PIPER, FRANCIS APPLETON, ABIJAH RICHARDSON, RICHARD PHILLIPS, ASA FAIRBANKS, JOHN RUSSELL, SILAS PIERCE, JO- SIAH ALLEN, and JOSHUA FARNUM. JOHN WIGHT, Ist, as stated by his son Jonas Wight, was at Bennington at the time of the battle, but was not in the action, being employed at the time in nursing the sick. At a subsequent period, he again went into the army, and remained one year, but was in no battle.
JOHN CALDWELL, a brother-in-law of Wm. Strongman, en- listed, April or May, 1775, and was accredited to Dublin. He was probably stopping at Mr. Strongman's. He died at Northfield, Mass., Nov. 15, 1840.

DUBLIN IN THE LATER WARS
WAR OF 1812 WITH GREAT BRITAIN
A large majority of the voters in Dublin were opposed to this war. Only one person, GEORGE WASHINGTON PHILLIPS, is known to have voluntarily enlisted as a soldier. He died in the service before the close of the war. He lived on the twelfth lot of the fifth range, at what was later known as the Richard Phillips place, south of the lake.
A draft of soldiers being ordered for the defence of Ports- mouth, the town voted "to make the soldiers' wages up to $15 per month, including what they receive from the government." The following persons received the sums annexed to their names for this service: -
Asa Fiske, for his son going to Portsmouth as a soldier $16.07 Francis Appleton, for procuring a man in room of his son

The British naval force did not attack Portsmouth, as was apprehended; and the soldiers, after a few weeks, returned to their homes.
WAR WITH MEXICO IN THE POLK ADMINISTRATION
We do not learn from the records that Dublin had any part in the war with Mexico, which was fought during the adminis- tration of President Polk. That war was very unpopular in New England. It was the prevailing impression that the object of the war, from the administration standpoint, was the an- nexation of territory for the purpose of creating more slave states. Opposition to the institution of slavery was rapidly

HISTORY OF DUBLIN
increasing in the North, hence this war was bitterly opposed in this section of the country. The result of the war was the annexation to the United States of a large amount of territory formerly belonging to Mexico, but, with the exception of Texas, owing to the determined opposition of Northern men in con- gress, no portion of the domain thus annexed ever became slave territory, and the Civil War brought an end to the insti- tution of human slavery in this country.
CIVIL WAR
The service which Dublin rendered our country in the Civil War was in the highest degree creditable to the town. We find that 115 men were credited to the quota of Dublin, of whom sixty-one volunteered from the town, and fifty-four were pro- cured from outside, partly by the selectmen, partly as substi- tutes for drafted men, and partly as substitutes for men who volunteered to provide them. The men who went from Dublin were uniformly brave and patriotic, and steadfastly performed their duties. Of those who had only a nominal residence in Dublin when they enlisted, and of those who were procured as substitutes, there were some, as naturally might be expected, who were scheming to obtain money for their enlistments, and who were cowardly and deserted their com- panies. They were hirelings and did not represent that sterling quality of character to be found in the old families of Dublin.
We cannot undertake to give the general history of the Civil War, which now may be found in so many valuable publica- tions. We can give only the part taken by Dublin in that great struggle, and even that honorable record must, for lack of space, be condensed much more than we could wish.
We will give first the roll of those who enlisted from Dublin. The notices are necessarily brief. It would have been an agree- able task to have added personal details of the experiences of these soldiers, but it would have taken hundreds of pages to do so, if justice were done to each soldier. Our thanks are ten- dered to Hon. Henry Dwight Learned for valuable papers which have lightened our task in preparing the following rolls of soldiers.
