THE COMMITTEES OF SAFETY.
The Committees of Safety and Observation which were brought into the field of action in conjunction with the local associations, were, as has been already stated, very important bodies of men ; they were the local de facto government during the first years of the rebellion. Unfortunately a full list of names of the Precinct or Town Committees, who also formed the county committees, cannot now be gathered from the fragmentary records which have been handed down. From the roll of attendants on the several meetings of the County Committee the following have been compiled :

CHAPTER IX.
REORGANIZATION OF THE MILITIA.
T HE reorganization of the local militia was begun by the town or precinct committees of Safety and Observation as early as April, 1775, the committees probably acting by suggestion of the general committee. It was not, however, until the 22nd of August, 1775, that the Provincial Congress of New York, otherwise known as the Provincial Convention, passed an act under which the militia of the Revolution was formally constituted. This act provided that counties, cities and precincts should be divided by their respective committees, so that in each district a company should be formed "ordinarily to consist of about eighty-three able bodied and effective men, officers included, between sixteen and fifty years of age"; the officers to consist of one captain, two lieutenants, one ensign, four sergeants, four corporals, one clerk, one drummer, and one fifer. The several companies so formed were directed to be "joined into regiments, each regiment to consist of not less than five or more than ten companies," which should be com- manded by "one colonel, one lieutenant colonel, two majors, an adjutant and a quartermaster." The regiments were to be classed in six brigades under "a brigadier-general and a major of brigade," and to be under the command of one major-general.
When the organization was completed the militia stood in four regi- ments, and, with the regiments of Orange County, five in number, formed the fourth brigade under Brigadier-General George Clinton .* The Ulster Regiments were the "First or Northern Regiment" including the com- panies raised in Kingston and Hurley, and north to the county line; the "Second or South End Regiment" including the companies raised in the southern tier of precincts, New Windsor, Hanover and Wallkill, and the settlements known as Paenpacht, and Mamakating, the latter now in Sul- livan and the former in Orange; the "Third, or Western Regiment"
· This brigade should not be confused with the special brigade which was organized under General Clinton in August, 1776, composed of "all levies raised and to be raised in the counties of Westchester, Duchess, Orange and Ulster."
145

including the companies organized in New Paltz, Marbletown and Rochester, extending south to Wawarsing; the "Fourth, or Middle Regiment," including the companies raised in Newburgh, Marlborough, the present Plattekill and the ancient Shawangunk.
The lists of Field, Staff and Line officers of the several regiments given in this chapter are from original manuscripts as printed in the official "Calendar of New York Manuscripts," and compared with the lists printed in "Archives of the Revolution." They are unquestionably correct. The lists printed in the later volume, "New York in the Revolu- tion," are not correct, especially in the assignments of line officers to regiments, in the Fourth regiment, for example, no less than thirty-four line officers being given to it that properly belong to other regiments. The lists of privates given as supplemental to the lists as printed in the "Archives of the Revolution," are presumably mixed also, as they would naturally follow the assignments of the line officers. Without the original returns the local historian can do nothing in the way of recollating the lists of the privates. "Sons" and "Daughters" of the Revolution have no higher duty to pay to the memory "of the Men of the Revolution, and what they did" than to secure an intelligible and reasonably correct recollation and reprinting of both of the volumes which have been re- ferred to.
THE FIRST OR NORTHERN REGIMENT.
The Field and Staff of the "First, or Northern Regiment" as com- missioned October 25th, 1775, were :
Colo .; Johannes Hardenbergh. Lieut. Colo .: Abraham Hasbrouck. Major; Johannes Snyder. Major; Jonathan Elemendorf. Adjutant; Petrus Elmendorf. Qr. Master; Abraham A. Hasbrouck.
The appointment of Johannes Hardenbergh as Colonel was not satis- factory, and the following Field Officers were substituted, Feb. 13, 1776, viz :
Colonel, Abraham Hasbrouck, Lieut. Col., J. Johannes Snyder, First Major, Jonathan Elmendorf, Second Major, Philipus Hoogtaling, Adjutant, Abraham A. Hasbrouck, Qr. Master, John Van Duersen, Jr.
146
THE COUNTY OF ULSTER.
Abraham Hasbrouck resigned the command early in 1776, and the Field and Staff was reconstructed :
Colonel, Johannis Snyder, Lieut. Col., Jonathan Elmendorf, Ist Major, Adriaen Wynkoop, 2d Major, Phillipus Hooghtaling, Adjutant, Abraham Hasbrouck, Qr. Master, John Van Deursen.
By later promotion and appointments Phillipus Hooghtaling became Lieutenant Colonel; John Van Deursen became Qr. Master and later succeeded Abraham A. Hasbrouck as Adjutant; John Low became Qr. Master, and Peter Van der Lyn, Surgeon.
The companies included in the regiment and the officers of which were commissioned on same date with the first Field and Staff, were six from Kingston and one from Hurley, as follows:
Ist Co. Capt., Everet Bogardus; First Lieut., Dan'l Graham; Second Lieut., Anthony Frere; Ensign, Johannes Persen.
2d Co. Capt., Moses Cantine; First Lieut., Phillipp Swart; Second Lieut., Abra- ham G. Vanaker; Ensign, Hendrik Tarpenning.

4th Co. Capt., John L. Dewitt; First Lieut., Petrus Oosterhout; Second Lieut., Tobias Myer; Ensign, Petrus Brink.
5th Co. Capt., Lucas De Witt; First Lieut., Jeremiah Snyder; Second Lieut., Petrus Backer; Ensign, Petrus West.
6th Co. Capt., Hendrick Schoonmaker; First Lieut., Edward Schoonmaker; Second Lieut., Edward Whittaker; Ensign, Isaac Burhans.
7th Co. (Hurley). Capt., Gerardus Hardenbergh; First Lieut., Simon Lefever; Second Lieut., Saml. Schoonmaker ; Ensign, Aart Joh'n Van Wagenen; Sergeants- Johannis Blanchan, Zacharias Sluyter, Jacob Le Fevre; Corporals-Jacob Crom, Matthews Blanchan, Elias Terpenning, Benjamin H. Freer; Drummer-Abraham K. Sluyter ; Fifer-Willhelmus Sluyter.
Attached to the Regiment was a Kingston company of cavalry :
Capt., Phillipp Houghteling; First Lieut., Silvester Salisbury; Second Lieut., Petrus Myndertse; Cornet, Corns C. Newkerk; Quartermaster, Corns J. DuBois; Second Quartermaster, James Roe.
Names of the privates of this company will be found in connection with list of signers of the Association in Kingston, given on a previous page.
Many changes occurred in the officers of the several companies. In later notes appears :
Tobias Van Buren, Capt. Granadier Co .; Jacobus Van Gaasbeek, First Lieut .; Cornelius Beekman, Second Lieut .; Benj'n Elmendorf, Third Lieut.
Colonel C. B. Shafer.
147
REORGANIZATION OF MILITIA.
Also a company described as "comprehending the settlements of Woodstock and Little and Great Shandaken":
Isaac S. Davis, Capt .; Philip Miller, First Lieut .; John's Van Etting, Second Lieut.
In the Hurley Company, Oct. 23d, 1779, the changes were:
Simon Lefever, Captain, vice Gerardus Hardenbergh, resigned; Samuel Schoon- maker, First Lieut .; Joh's Blanchan, Second Lieut .; Petrus Wynkoop, Ens'g, vice Van Wagener, resigned.
In the "Light Horse Company," June 16, 1778, Hooghteling, Captain, was succeeded by Silvester Salisbury, and was in turn succeeded by Cornelius C. Newkirk. James Roe became First Lieut .; Abr'm Van Gaasbeck, Jun'r, Second Lieut., and Abr'm Hoffman, Cornet. Moses Cantine resigned the captaincy of the Second Company, and Philip Swart succeeded him, with Abr'm Van Acken as First Lieut .; Hendrickus Teerpening, Second Lieut., Theophilus Elsworth, Ensign. In the Fifth Company Jeremiah Snyder succeeded Lucas E. DeWitt, with Petrus Backer, First Lieut .; Martynus Humble, Second Lieut .; Tobias Wyn- koop, Junr., Ensign. In Bogardus's First Company, Anthony Freer was promoted First Lieut .; Joh's Persin, Second Lieut., and Solomon Has- brouck, Ensign. In Schoonmaker's Sixth Company, Isaac Burhans suc- ceeded Edw. Schoonmaker as First Lieut .; Ed'w Schoonmaker, Jr., suc- ceeded Whittaker as Second Lieut .; and Andries Van Louven became Ensign, vice Isaac Burhans. Presumably other changes were made, but they are not of record .*
