CHAPTER XXII.


MILITARY HISTORY.


Steuben in the War of 1812-In the Mexican War.


STEUBEN COUNTY was active in the war of 1812. Three companies of militia were ordered out for three months' service at the beginning of the war,-two were independent companies of riflemen, and the third a com- pany drafted from the regiment. Capt. James Sanford commanded one of the rifle companies, which belonged chiefly to the town of Wayne; the other, which belonged to the town of Urbana, and mustered about fifty men, was commanded by Capt. Abraham Brnodage. William White, of Pulteney, was his first lieutenant, and Stephen Garner ensign. These were organized with two rifle companies from Allegany County, and the battalion thus formed was commanded by Maj. Asa Gaylord, of Urbana. Maj. Gay- lerd died upon the lines, and the command devolved upon Col. Dobbins.


The drafted company was composed of every eighth man of the regiment, and was commanded by Capt. Jonas Cleland, of Cohoeton. Samuel D. Wells, of Cohoeton, and John Gillet were lieutenants, and John Kennedy ensign.


" These companies reached the frontiers just at the time when Col. Van Rensselaer, with an army of militia, was about to make an attack upon the works and forces of the British at Queenstown Heights. Capt. Cleland, with many of his men, volunteered to cross the boundary. . . . The


men on the shore of the Niagara, at the foot of a precipi- tions bank, were fired upon by the British batteries on the opposite side, the grape-shot rattling furiously against the rocks overhead. The captain advised his men to seek a less exposed position, and disappeared with some soldiers. He appeared again on the field of battle, over the river, in the course of the forenoon, and complaining of illness re- turned to the American side. Lieut. Gillet and Ensign Kennedy remained under the fire of the British batteries with most of the men, crossed the river, and went into the battle.


" The command devolved upon Gillet. It was doubted whether he would prove a brave officer, but, to the surprise of all, he ' rushed into the fight as if he had just found his element,' whirled his sword, raised his powerful voice and cheered on his men. After receiving a dangerous and almost mortal wound he continued to fight, swinging his hat and brandishing his sword, till be finally sank and fell from pain and exhaustion.


" Ensign Kennedy then took command, hastily forming the scattering squad which had gathered on that side of the river into a company. At one time they were con- fronted by the Indians, whom they drove into a wood. While exchanging an irregular fire with these enemies among the trees, Benjamin Welles, a young man from Bath, who stood beside Kennedy, looking over a fenee, was shot thorough the head and mortally wounded. At the final engagement of this random, but often gallantly-fought battle, Kennedy and his men were in the line formed to meet the British reinforcements which were just coming
