On the 7th of June, 1780, an aet was passed " to embody, for a limited time, six hundred and twenty-four men for the defense of the frontiers of this State." This force-of which the term of service was limited to January 1, 1781- was formed into two small battalions, one of which, consisting of two hundred and sixty-two men, was placed under command of Colonel Asher Holmes, and stationed in Monmouth and Middlesex, south of the Raritan River. Another body of men, under Major Samuel Hayes, was stationed north of the same river, in Middlesex and Bergen ; and a smaller detachment, stationed in Sussex County, was placed under command of Major Samuel Westbrook. On the 14th of the same month an additional company of thirty men was ordered to be raised for duty in Mon- mouth, under Colonel Asher Holmes. The offi- - cers of this company were Captain Ephraim
Jenkins and Lieutenant Joshua Studson, both of whom were afterwards killed by Refugees in that part of Monmouth which is now Ocean County.
On the 26th of December, 1780, eight hundred and twenty men were ordered to be raised and embodied with the State troops for service to January 1, 1782. Of these, Monmouth fur- nished two hundred and fifty-nine men, in three companies, of which the captains were John Walton, Samuel Carhart and David Anderson ; lientenants, Nathan Sheppard, John Davis and Moses Sheppard ; ensigns, John Morris, Matthias Johnson and David Imlay. Another call of State troops was made December 29, 1781, for four hundred and twenty-two men to serve till. December 15, 1782. Of these, one com- pany (light horse) was from Monmouth, and under command of Captain John Walton. The other commissioned officers of the company were Lieutenant David Rhea and Cornet Jonathan Forman.
The militia were the first troops organized in New Jersey in the Revolution. On June 3, 1775, the Provincial Congress passed an act providing a " plan for regulating the militia of the colony." This plan was still further considered and amended August 16, 1775. After that date all officers were ordered to be commissioned by the Provincial Congress or the Committee of Safety. In the assignment then ordered Monmouth Connty had three reg- iments. "Minute-men" having been raised in three of the counties, in obedience to the recommendation of Continental Congress, this ordinance [of August 16, 1775] ordered the other counties to furnish them, ranging from one to eight companies each, the assignment for Monmouth being six companies. These com- panies of "minute-men " were "held in con- stant readiness, on the shortest notice, to march to any place where assistance might be required, for the defense of this or any neighboring colony." They were to continue in service four months. Their uniform was a hunting- froek, similar to that of the riflemen in the Continental service. On the 26th of February, 1776, the " minute-men " organizations were

dissolved and the men incorporated with the militia.
Inne 3, 1776, the Continental Congress called for thirteen thousand eight hundred militia, the quota of New Jersey being three thousand three hundred. Monmouth and Middlesex furnished one of the five bat- talions required, four companies being raised in each of the two counties. The battalion was commanded by Nathaniel Heard, colonel ; David Forman, of Monmouth, lieutenant-colo- nel, and Thomas Henderson, of Monmouth, major.
July 16, 1776, Congres- requested the Con- vention of New Jersey to supply with militia the places of two thousand men of Washington's army who had been ordered into New Jersey to form the " Flying Camp." Of the thirty com- panies of sixty-four men each furnished under this call, Monmouth sent three companies, which, with three from Middlesex and two companies from Salem, comprised one of the four battalions : and its officers were George Taylor, of Mon- mouth, colonel ; Whitton Cripps, lieutenant-col- onel ; John Duyekinck major. Colonel George Taylor refused to qualify, and deserted to the enemy, and Samuel Forman, of Monmouth, was appointed colonel.
April 14, 1778, the militia was divided into two brigades, that of Monmouth being in the Second Brigade. January 8, 1781, the militia force was formed into three brigades. "The good service performed by the militia of New Jersey is fully recorded in history. AAt the fights at Quinton's Bridge, Hancock's Bridge, Three Rivers, Connecticut Farms and Van Neste's Mills they bore an active part; while at the battles of Long Island, Trenton, Assan- pink, Princeton, Germantown, Springfield and Monmouth they performed efficient services in supporting the Continental line."1
The following list of officers and enlisted men of Monmouth County who served with the American forees in the war for independence is made up from Adjutant-General William S. Stryker's " Official Register of the Officers and
