HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
Capt. Amos Emerson's Co., in Col. Joseph Cilley's Regt., in which William Lee of Lyndeborough was 2nd Lieut.
60. Dutton, Asa. Asa Dutton was a soldier in Capt. Mc- Connell's Co., raised out of Col. Daniel Moore's Regt. to march to N. Y., serving from Sept. 26 to Dec. 1, 1776.
61. Dutton, Benjamin. In Captain Peter Clark's expedition to B., Benjamin Dutton was represented by Ezra Dutton. The only record we have found of Benjamin's share in the Revolu- tion is that he assisted to hire a man to go to W. P., and that he "hired Ezra," and he proved a good substitute, as the fol- lowing account will show.
62. Dutton, Ezra. I avail myself here of W. H. Grant, Esq's. assistance, who wrote : " Ezra Dutton lived in Lynde- borough, and died there in 1793. He was a minute-man and one of Capt. Spaulding's Co. ; was in the battle of B. H., and continued through the siege of Boston, and was discharged in March, 1776. He was also a private in Capt. McConnell's Co., raised in Sept., 1776, to reinforce the Continental Army, near New York. He served four months, and was in the battle of White Plains. He was also corporal in Capt. Peter Clark's Co., which fought at Bennington. He marched to Saratoga and aided in the capture of Burgoyne. He was also with Capt. William Lee in the Rhode Island campaign "under Gen. Sullivan and fought in the battle of Rhode Island, 1778."
63. Dutton, Jacob. Jacob Dutton was one of Capt. Spauld- ing's Co. at B. H., and also at the W. H. camp. He was a fifer. He was also with Capt. Peter Clark in the B. campaign. He was also a fifer in Capt. Samuel Dearborn's Co., Col. Stephen Peabody's Regt. for Continential service at R. I. He was there six months and 12 days, half of the time as a substitute for Eleazar Woodward, and the other half for Moses Stiles Jr. and Uriah Cram. He was a fifer in Capt. Jonas Kidder's Co. of Col. Nichols' Regt., at W. P. He was in Capt. Spaulding's march to Canada, and back to Trenton and Princeton.
E.
64. Ellinwood, Benjamin. Benjamin Ellinwood was proba- . bly the man called Benjamin Tuck Ellinwood on our town roll. He was one of Capt. Peter Clark's men on the B. campaign, and was substitute for David Stratton. He seems to have lived in the eastern part of the town.
65. Ellinwood, Joseph. Joseph Ellinwood was fourth ser- geant in Capt. Peter Clark's Co. in the S. campaign, in which Gen. Burgoyne was captured. He assisted in hiring William Burnham to serve a year in the Continental Army ; and also in hiring William Lee to go to Coös in 1782. Joseph Ellinwood and Joseph Ellinwood Jr. were residents of the northwest part of the town, and petitioners for a division of it in 1784.
185
THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR
66. Ellinwood, Joseph Jr. Joseph Ellinwood Jr. was in Capt. Levi Spaulding's Co. in the battle of B. H., and also at W. H., besieging Boston, while in the hands of the British. He seems to have enlisted as a substitute for Capt. John Stephenson. If this is correct, he served at Ti. from July 22 to Dec. 1, 1776. In Rev. Rolls 1, 359, his name is misprinted Allinwood, and omits the Jr. It is often difficult to distinguish between persons of the same name. Others must judge of suc- cess in this case.
67. Epps, Francis. Francis Epps was selectman in Lynde- borough in 1775, at the breaking out of the Revolutionary War. He appears to have hired Hezekiah Duncklee as his substitute to go to N. Y. In 1777 he marched as quarter- master with Capt. Peter Clark, his brother-in-law, on the S., and aided in the capture of Gen. Burgoyne. In 1778, he was in the R. I. expedition with Capt. Williamn Lee.
Francis Epps was the son of Daniel Epps Jr. Esq., the first clerk of the Salem-Canada proprietors, lived in northeast part of the town, and was an honored and influential citizen.
F.
68. Fletcher, Philip. Philip Fletcher was in Capt. William Barron's Co., raised out of Col. Daniel Moore's Regt. for Can- ada, and was in the Ti. campaign. He went as substitute for Mr. George Gould and son Daniel. He returned with Capt. Barron from the campaign at Ti., and later paid one month's bounty for a man to go to W. P.
69. Fletcher, Simeon Jr. Simeon Fletcher, Jr. was one of Capt. Peter Clark's Co. on the S. expedition for the capture of Burgoyne. (I follow town, not the state, records.) This appears . to be the only service credited by our town roll to Simeon Fletcher, Jr.
70. . Fletcher, Simeon. Simeon Fletcher was the pioneer of the family in this town, and was the father of both Philip and Simeon Jr. They lived in that part of the town which was at first province or society land, which became the Lyndeborough Addition, and which was again taken away to aid in con- structing the town of Greenfield. Much of his old estate is still owned by Simeon's descendants of the fourth and fifth generations.
Our town records state that Simeon Fletcher "did one-third of a turn" of army service at Ti., through his substitute, James Burnham. He was with Capt. Peter Clark on the A. (Rolls 2, 138 adds Jr. to the name, which seems an error). He was also in Capt. Jonas Kidder's Co., Col. Moses Nichols' Regt., raised to join the Continential Army at W. P., in 1780. He is supposed to have been "on guard the night that Arnold attempted to surrender the fortress to the British." He also served one month among those who went westward for three
186
HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
months in 1781. Such is his record according to both town and state papers.
71. Fuller, Andrew, Esq. Andrew Fuller was town clerk as well as one of Lyndeborough's selectmen in 1776. He did two-thirds of a turn of army service in 1776 and Jonas Kidder, one-third. They hired Samuel Butterfield. He did personal service also in Capt. William Lee's Co. in R. I. He paid one month's bounty of John Purple, who was hired to serve a year in the Continental Army. He seems to have paid the highest sum on the list of those who hired substitutes.
G.
72. Gardner, Ebenezer. Ebenezer Gardner was a soldier in Capt. Samuel McConnell's Co., raised out of Col. Daniel Moore's Regt. in N. Y., was mustered Sept. 26 and continued in the service until Dec. 1, 1776. Each man went for himself only, and was allowed 18 shillings per month bounty by the town.
73. Gould, Daniel. Daniel Gould was a soldier in Capt. William Lee's Co. of Col. Moses Kelley's Regt. in the R. I. expedition in 1778. He enlisted Feb. 23, 1781, for three years or during the war. He paid for one month's bounty of Israel Hutchinson who was hired for a year in the Continental Army, and also two months' bounty toward a man's serving six months in the same army. He together with his father, George, hired Mr. Philip Fletcher. He is reported as having returned from the Ti. campaign with Lieut. Barron, a fact which seems difficult to explain, through his substitute, Philip Fletcher. See number 68.
74. Gould, George. George Gould was the father of Daniel. He was probably unfitted by age for personal army service. But he united with his son Daniel, and they per- formed a full turn of service through their substitute,. Philip Fletcher. He lived nearly opposite the town hall, at the centre.
75. Gould, Stephen. Stephen Gould lived in the northwest part of the town, and was one of the petitioners for its division in 1784. He was in Capt. William Walker's Co. of 42 men raised out of the 5th Regt. of N. H. militia, by an order from Major Gen. Folsom, to reinforce the Continental Army at N. Y. from Dec. 7, 1776 to March 1, 1777. He reënlisted in the same line of service from June 28 to Dec. 19, 1780.
76. Grushe (or Grushé), Thomas. In our town records Vol. II., p. 29, we find, " Voted to give 100 Dollars as a bounty or reward, to each of the sixteen men that shall enlist from this town, except Joseph Willson and Thomas Grush, who have received a hire from particular men." Thomas Grush was in Capt. Amos Emerson's Co., in Col. Joseph Cilley's Regt., raised by the State of N. H. for the Continental service, Feb., 1777.
187
THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR
H.
77. Hadley, Joshua. Joshua Hadley seems to have done no personal service in the army. But he hired a substitute for the Ti. campaign under Capt. William Barron, paying £6, 13s., 4d. He further paid one month's bounty to hire John Purple for a year in the Continental Army, and one and a half month's bounty for a man to go to W. P., July 4, 1780.
78. Hale, Israel. Israel Hale was born in Beverley, Mass., and at the time of his enlistment in the Continental Army, Feb. 26, 1781, was 16 years, 5 months old. He was a resident of Lyndeborough and enlisted for three years, or until the close of the war. He was in Col. Joseph Cilley's Regt., second Co., and was discharged in Oct., 1781, when the war practically ended with the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
79. Hamblet, Hezekiah. Hezekiah Hamlet (as formerly spelled, Hamblet,) was one of Capt. William Barron's Co. in the expedition to Ti. in 1776. He served as substitute for both David and Robert Badger. He was also one of Capt. Peter Clark's Co. on the S.
80. Herrick, Daniel. Daniel Herrick was in Capt. Peter Clark's Co. at B. Time in service, 2 mos., 6 dys. He also joined with five others in hiring a man for 6 months in the Con- tinental Army. He lived in what is now Greenfield, and was one of the petitioners for the new town.
81. Herrick, Joseph. Joseph Herrick was one of the select- men of Lyndeborough in 1776. He is named among those who returned with Lieut. Barron from the Ti. expedition. He was one of the committee of safety for 1777, and was one of a com- mittee of five men chosen to average and appraise the services done for the town by each of its citizens in the war, from the 19th day of April, 1775, to May 6, 1777. He was in Capt. Clark's Co. on the expedition to B. and also on the S. In the latter he was Q. M. Sergt. In 1778 he was in the R. I. expedi- tion ; and in 1780 he paid a month's bounty for a man in the Continental service. He belonged in that part of the town set off to form the new town of Greenfield, and was a petitioner for the same.
82. William Holley. We cannot give his record, but in 1840 he was a pensioner living in Greenfield. He lived for many years on what in early times was known as Woodward Hill, on the old stage road between Temple, Peterborough, and Greenfield, a road which passes over the hill north of the Dolliver place.
83. Holt, Oliver. Oliver Holt enlisted Sept. 17, 1781, in Capt. William Boyes' Co. of Col. Daniel Reynold's Regt., of N. H. militia. He received provision and supplies from the selectmen of the town sufficient to last him to Springfield. His
188
HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
term of service was short, for the war closed with the surrender of Cornwallis, Oct. 19, a little more than a month after his en- listment .*
84. Holt, William. William Holt was in Capt. Peter Clark's Co. on the A., and was also with the same Capt. on the mnemor- able expedition to B., in which a large detachment of the Brit- ish Army was signally defeated. He paid a month's bounty towards John Purple's service for a year in the Continental Army, and " did two months " towards service to the westward in 1781.
85. Holt, William, Jr. William Holt, Jr., gave one month's service to hire William Lee to go to Coös, July 12, 1782. There was danger of an invasion of our frontiers from Canada at this time, and two companies of able-bodied and effective men were raised as rangers for the defense of our borders. In this service William Lee, who had previously served as Capt., enlisted as a private, and William Holt, Jr., contributed towards his bounty, or hire.
86. Houston, Samuel. Samuel Houston was one of three men, all prominent in our town, who hired James Burnham as their substitute in Capt. William Barron's Co. in the Ti. campaign. His name appears first on our Revolutionary Rolls, Vol. II, p. IOI, in Capt. Robbe's Co., Col. Enoch Hale's Regt., of N. H. troops. In Capt. Peter Clark's Co. on the A., he was Lieut., and always after that was called Lieut. Houston. In Capt. Jonas Kidder's Co., destined for W. P., he was sergeant, and the same year, 1780, he paid a month's bounty for a man to go to W. P. He lived north of the mountain, near the Frances- town line.
87. Howard, Silas. Silas Howard came from Massachu- setts where he had been in the army of the revolution. He continued a citizen of Lyndeborough to the close of his life. His descendants remained in this town till the fourth genera- tion, and were then annexed to Milford. His son Samuel was one of our soldiers in the war of 1812, and was one of ten chil- dren. (See Genealogy.)
88. Hutchinson, Israel. Israel Hutchinson enlisted in the Continental Army for a year, and received a bounty of £60 for his sevices. The money was raised by subscription, three men paying each I month's bounty, three others paying 2 months' bounty each, and one paying 3 months' bounty. Some who did no personal army duty took real, active interest in the war.
89. Hutchinson, James. James Hutchinson was 2nd ser- geant in Capt. Levi Spaulding's Co., which served from Apr. 23 to Aug. 1, 1775. He served 5 months and 18 days in the
*Oliver Holt, Enoch Ordway, James Hutchinson and Simeon Fletcher were in the same company and marched to Fort Edward, which had surrendered the day before their arrival. They were not needed there and so returned.
189
THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR
Continental service. Sept. 17, 1781, he enlisted for three years, and a little more than a month later he was discharged, at the close of the war.
90. Hutchinson, John. John Hutchinson was one of Capt. Levi Spaulding's Co. in the W. H. campaign. He was, also, with Capt. Peter Clark on the A., but hired Nehemiah Hutch- inson on the B., under the same Capt. He seems, also, to have performed some service for Benjamin Jones.
91. Hutchinson, Nehemiah. Nehemiah Hutchinson saw considerable service in the Revolutionary War. He was a pri- vate in the Co. of Capt. Levi Spaulding, and appears to have served with him at B. H. and W. H. He went with him to Canada and back to Trenton, &c. He went with Capt. Peter Clark on the A., and also on the B., in which he was hired by John Hutchinson, and held the office of Ist sergeant.
92. Hutchinson, Samuel. Samuel Hutchinson was corporal in Capt. Levi Spaulding's Co. at B. H. He was hired by Amos Wilkins, and served in Capt. Peter Clark's Co. at B. He was in Capt. William Lee's Co. in R. I. in 1778. He paid a month's bounty for Isaac Carkin's service, who enlisted for a year in the Continental Army ; and in Sept., 1779, he hired Stephen Rich- ardson to serve two months at Portsmouth.
J.
93. Johnson, Adam. Adam Johnson was in Capt. William Lee's Co., Col. Moses Kelley's Regt., in the expedition to R. I. in 1778, serving as quartermaster sergeant. He paid two months' bounty for Israel Hutchinson's year's service in the Continental Army, and one month's bounty to hire a man to go to W. P., N. Y., in 1780. In 1782, he was Lieut. in Capt. Jonathan Smith's Co. of rangers for the defense of our western frontiers.
94. Johnson, Adam, Jr. Adam Johnson, Jr. was one of Capt. William Barron's Co. in the Ti. campaign, though his name seems omitted from the printed rolls. He enlisted for the W. H. campaign in the siege of Boston, 1776, and went from there to N. Y., and continued throughout the campaign. He paid one month's bounty toward Israel Hutchinson's year in the Continental Army.
95. Johnson, James. James Johnson, as we learn from our town records, was hired by Adam Johnson, and served some- where for him, as the record plainly shows. But the printed Revolutionary Rolls do not seem to have his name, unless he is the one named in Rolls, II, p. 514.
96. Johnson, John. John Johnson was in Capt. Levi Spauld- ing's Co., and was in the battle of B. H. It was he who took up his brother-in-law, David Carlton, mortally wounded, and
190
HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
carried him off the field. In the winter of 1776 he went from W. H. to N. Y., and remained throughout that campaign. There seems no further record of him. He doubtless fell as a victim of the war. His widow, Abigail (Carlton) Johnson, be- came the wife of Ensign David Putnam.
K.
97. John Kidder in 1776 paid for a man's service in the Ti. campaign. " He hired Mr. John Rowe." He paid a month's bounty for Isaac Carkin in 1777. He afterwards enlisted in Col. Moses Kelley's Regt., and was in Capt. William Lee's Co. in the R. I. expedition in 1778. He was also a member of the same Regt. when engaged in the defense of Portsmouth in 1779. He also paid two months' bounty for a man to go to W. P. in 1780. A portion of the land owned by him remains still the property of some of his descendants of the fifth generation, Elizabeth Rebecca (Mrs. Ethan A. Woodward) Kidder, and Miss Harriet Moore.
Elizabeth Rebecca (Kidder) Woodward died July 20, 1904.
98. Kidder, John, Jr. Our records credit John Kidder, Jr., with a share in the R. I. expedition in 1778. He was one of the seven men whose estates were severed from Lyndeborough and annexed to Temple in 1796.
99. Kidder, Jonas. Jonas Kidder and Andrew Fuller, Esq., united in hiring Samuel Butterfield to enter the Ti. campaign in the Co. of Capt. William Barron in 1776.
In 1777 he paid one month's bounty to hire John Purple to enter the Continental Army for one year. In 1778 he served as a private in the Co. of Capt. William Lee in the R. I. expedi- tion. In 1779 he served two months at Portsmouth as Lieut. In 1780 he was commissioned as Capt. in Col. Moses Nichols' Regt., and served at W. P. The same year he paid the bounty of a three months' man to serve at W. P. At that time the British had special movements on foot to try to capture that forti- fication, and special efforts were made to reinforce and strengthen it. In his duties at that place Jonas Kidder, it is said, was en- trusted with guarding Major Andre the night before his death. The list of his Co. and their residences is given in the Revolu- tionary Rolls, Vol. III, pp. 161, 162, and they were in Camp Highlands Sept. 27, 1780.
In 1781 he was serving the town as one of its selectmen, asso- ciate of Ephraim Putnam. That same year a petition, very in- teresting, for the light it sheds on our financial condition, was sent to the General Court of the State of N. H., assembled at Exeter, Jan. 5. The petition bears the names of Abel Stevens of New Grantham, William Barron of Merrimack, Jonas Kidder of Lyndeborough and Peter Page of Charlestown, all captains in the regiment lately commanded by Col. Moses Nichols.
" Humbly Shews, That they have received Warrants upon

THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR
the Treasurer for their respective wages, and for the wages of the men under their Command during the time they were em- ployed in the service of the said State. They have presented some of the warrants to the Treasurer for payment, and he in- forms them that there is no money in the Treasury, and that 'tis out of his power to pay them. They further beg leave to show their honors they have been for several days past, and now are in the Town of Exeter on expense waiting for their pay.
"That they are not possessed of money sufficient to pay their expences in said Town of Exeter, or to bear their expences to their several homes.
" That they and the men belonging to their several Companies have depended upon receiving their wages to pay their taxes; that they did not, as has been usual heretofore, receive any advance wages ; that they were obliged to advance considerable sums of money in order to defray their expences in travelling to and from Camp; that they were employed in the service of said State at a time of the year when 'twas most inconvenient for them to leave their several homes. Your Petitioners wish not to be troublesome to your Honors - they wish 'twas in their power to pay their expences in said Town of Exeter, bear their expences home, and pay their taxes after their return, but they are sorry to say that 'tis not.
"They therefore pray that your honors would point out some way to enable the said Treasurer to pay them respectively the sums mentioned in their respective Warrants (or at least some part of the sums aforesaid) that they may be enabled to pay their taxes, defray their expences in said Town of Exeter, bear their expences to their homes, and pay the men which were under their Command some part of the wages due to them ; and as in duty bound shall ever pray, &c."
Jonas Kidder Abel Stevens Peter Page William Barron
Jonas Kidder held various offices of trust in Lyndeborough after the close of the Revolutionary War. He spent his last days in the home of his daughter, in his native town of Hudson, having nearly completed his 94th year. On his headstone is the inscrip- tion : -
"In memory of Capt. Jonas Kidder who died Nov. Ist, 1837, aged 94 Formerly of Linesborough."
100. Killam, Benjamin. Benjamin Killam, at the time a citizen of Lyndeborough, is named as one of the men who marched from Temple to Cambridge on the 19th of April, 1775. He paid two months' bounty for John Purple's year of service in the Continental Army. In 1796, he, with six others, were severed from Lyndeborough and annexed to Temple.
101. Kittridge, Joshua. Joshua Kittredge enlisted in the Continental Army July 1, 1780, and was discharged Dec. 6,
192
HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
.
1780. He was 19 years of age at the time of his enlistment, and was enrolled from Lyndeborough. His name stands on our town records for the year 1781.
L.
IO2. Lee, Capt. William. William Lee was sergeant in Capt. Levi Spaulding's Co., and was at the battle of B. H., and also for a time at W. H., besieging the British in Boston. He went from W. H. to Canada in 1776 as ensign under Capt. Spaulding, returned and with him shared in the battles of Tren- ton and Princeton in Dec., 1776. In 1778 he was Capt. in the expedition for the defense of R. I. In July, 1782, he enlisted as a private in Capt. Jonathan Smith's Co. of rangers for the defense of our western frontiers. (See sketch elsewhere.)
103. Lewis, Aaron. In 1776 Aaron Lewis joined with Mr. Nathan Parsons in hiring Mr. John Reynolds to do half a turn of army service for them ; and he did half a turn for himself, thus fill- ing out a whole turn of service for the defense of Ti. In July, 1777, he was first sergeant in Capt. Peter Clarke's Co., which marched on the A. The next year, 1778, he served as a private in Capt. William Lee's Co. in the R. I. expedition. He also paid one month's bounty for a man to serve three months at W. P. in 1780.
104. Lund, Jesse. Jesse Lund appears to have been a na- tive of Dunstable. But the greater part of his army service was performed for Lyndeborough. He enlisted in Capt. Levi Spaulding's Co. of Col. James Reed's Regt., and had a part in the battle of B. H., and was reported as among the mortally wounded. He recovered, however, and rendered further ser- vice. He fought under Capt. Peter Clark at B., as the substi- tute of Benjamin Osgood. He also served for Jacob Cram, in Capt. William Lee's Co., in the expedition to R. I. in 1778.
105. Lund, Willard. Willard Lund was probably a brother of Jesse. He served in the Co. of Capt. Jonas Kidder at W. P. They assisted in holding the fort at the time of Arnold's treason, and were entrusted by General Washington with the most im- portant soldierly services at that critical time.
M.
IO6. Manuel, Amos. Amos Manuel was a soldier in Capt. Jonas Kidder's Co. of Col. Nichols' Regt., in duty at W. P., 1780.
107. Manuel, Joel. Joel Manuel paid one month's bounty for a man to go toW. P. for three months in 1780.
108. McAdams. Four persons of this name, presumbably a father and three sons, together with Benjamin Burroughs, con- tributed the bounty of a six months' man for the Continental Army in the year 1780. Their voluntary contributions to the
193
THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR
patriot cause entitle their names to a place on our roll. The names are William McAdams, Robert McAdams, Hugh Mc- Adams, William McAdams. The names of Robert and Wil- liam McAdams, Jr., appear on our lists of town officers for the years 1779 and 1785.
109. McIntire, Andrew. The name of Andrew McIntire is found in our Revolutionary Rolls, Vol. I, pp. 469, 602. He en- listed in Capt. Morrill's Co. of Col. John Stark's Regt., Feb. 20, 1777. He doubtless saw active service, though what we cannot distinctly state.
IIO. McIntire, John. He also was in the Ist Regt., in Capt. Morrill's Co., under Col. Stark. Hammond's Town Papers, Vol. XII, p. 522, states that John McIntire entered the Ist Regt. Mar. 8, 1777, and was discharged Mar. 20, 1780. He therefore served more than three years.
III. McIntire, Timothy. Timothy McIntire was a soldier in Capt. Levi Spaulding's Co., Col. James Reed's Regt., and was in the battle of B. H. He was credited to Duxbury School Farm. But his name appears among our town officers for the year 1776, and therefore we doubt the correctness of that credit.
I12. McMaster, Samuel. Samuel McMaster was also a sol- dier in Capt. Levi Spaulding's Co., and in the battle of B. H. His name is among those of our town officers for the years 1779 and 1780.
