Selections from the 3rd Battalion .- The following thirty-two men marched from the several classes of Militia in Berks County, of the eight companies named in the Third Battalion, August 11, 1780. I could not ascertain to what place they marched, nor the particu- lar service rendered. Probably they were with Hies- ter's Battalion, being at the same time in service :

TWO COMPANIES FOR FRONTIER SERVICE.
Owing to certain incursions by hostile Indians, at the instigation of the British government, and to bar- barities inflicted by them upon the inhabitants along the frontiers of the county beyond the Blue Moun- tains during the year 1780, letters were addressed to the Executive Council in which the startling details were described, and assistance was asked for the pro- tection of the inhabitants. The Council accordingly ordered two companies of the militia under the com- mand of Col. Samuel Ely, of the Ist Battalion, for service on the frontiers, but I have not been able to ascertain when they were forwarded, or by whom they were commanded.
Inhabitants killed by the Indians.
On May 6, 1780, Col. Michael Lindemuth, (of 4th Battalion of Berks County Militia) addressed a letter to Council in reference to the murder of some of the in- habitants beyond the Blue Mountains, and to the inov- ing of certain families to the Little Schuylkill, about 15 miles from "Gnadenhuth," nearer to Susquehanna than that the savages fell on in Northampton County, and of course more liable to invasion. He asked for arms from the stores at Reading for self defense. On the roth President Reed replied, stating that he had directed Col. Morgan to supply the necessary arms.
Col. Valentine Eckert reported to Council on Aug- ust 30, 1780, that, shortly before, a man named "John Negman, who lived at a saw mill on the road from Reading to Shamokin, about three miles above Con-
I37
REVOLUTION.
rad Minnich's, 33 miles from Reading, was, with his three young children, barbarously murdered by the Indians, a party of whom, five in number, had been seen on the same road near Yarnal's a few days before. The day after the murder, a house and barn on the Little Schuylkill were burned by them. No persons were killed, but a boy named Shurr was taken captive. These occurrences alarmed the people so much in that neighborhood that many left it, and wag- ons went up in numbers to take away their effects; and unless some speedy assistance were given them, the whole settlement over the mountain would be evacu- ated." Council asked the President to send two com- panies of the militia under Col. Eckert's command for the protection of the frontiers.
Conrad Minnich lived in Brunswick township along the Schuylkill, several miles south of the Sharp Mountain.
Capt. Dennis Leary immediately marched to the place with four men, and buried Negman and two children, whom he found dead. The third child-a little girl-was carried off by the Indians. The next day he, accompanied by ten men, went in pursuit of the Indians. He was joined by Captain Baldy, and on the following day by Col. Lindemutli with 50 men. After scouring the woods till August 30th, he and his men returned to Reading. They left 60 men there to defend the different settlements. Capt. Leary was in that section for the purpose of cutting masts for the Navy of the United States.

CLASS OF LINDEMUTH'S BATTALION ON FRONTIERS.
On May 9, 1781, Col. Valentine Eckert, Lieutenant of the county, was directed to order out one class of Col. Lindemuth's Battalion of militia for the purpose of defending the frontiers of the county, and if it should not amount to 60 men he should call out one class from the next battalion in order to make up the said number.
Col. Nicholas Lotz was directed to inake suitable provision for the said militia, taking care to make his purchases in the neighborhood of the said battalion ; and Col. Eckert was directed to station the said militia in such a manner as to give the most effectual protec- tion to the inhabitants of Brunswick and Pine Grove townships.
I could not find any return showing that this order was filled, but the class of 60 inen was doubtless sent for the purpose mentioned.
COUNTY TROOPS AT NEWTOWN.
Ely's Battalion .- O11 September 1I, 1781, three classes of the county militia were directed to be im- mediately called Samuel Ely into service, and to rendezvous as soon as possible at Newtown, in Bucks County, pursuant to a resolution of Congress of the roth instant ; and at the same time the whole of the light horse of the county was also ordered into service.
I39
REVOLUTION.
Pursuant to this order, Col. Valentine Eckert for- warded the battalion that was commanded by Col. Samuel Ely, from the northeastern section of the county. It was in service at Newtown from October Ist to the 18th, under the command of Gen'l Lacy, who then commanded the Pennsylvania militia. The estimated number of inen in the battalion was 300.
On October 8, 1781, Col. Eckert reported to Presi- dent Reed that he had sent upwards of 300 men, ex- clusive of officers, to Newtown. Two companies were armed and the third was not armed. He added that three more companies were gathering, which would be almost as many as the former, but he had no arms to give thein, and was doubtful about for- warding them.
The estimated number may include the company of Capt. John Robinson, for it was there at the same time. It is the only company that I could find which was then in service.
Robinson's Company .- The following company of Berks County Militia was in service at Newtown, in Bucks County on October 1, 1781, but the length of time was not given, nor the particular service that was rendered. The men were from the southern sec- tion of the county. By an order in his favor on Dec. 6, 1790, for £252, 8sh., 8d., it appears that the ser- vices were rendered during October 1781.

COMPANY OF CAPT. JACOB LIVINGOOD.
By the Colonial Records it appears that Jacob Liv- ingood, of Middletown (Womelsdorf ), formed a com- pany of riflemen in Heidelberg township during the latter part of September, 1781, but I could not find the roster.
In commissioning Capt. Livingood, the Executive Council took the following action on October 3, 1781 :
" Ordered, That Captain Jacob Livingood be appointed Captain of a Company of Riflemen, enlisted to serve until the first day of January next; that he be commissioned accordingly, the said commission to continue in force until the first day of January next, unless sooner revoked by this Council, and all emoluments, pay and perquisites of the said office to cease on the said first day of January, or when the same shall be so revoked; that the said com. mission bear date the twenty-first instant."
On January 16, 1782, the Council drew an order in his favor for £246, 9sh., 4d., specie, "in full for the pay and subsistence of himself and the company of
14I
REVOLUTION.
riflemen under his command, raised agreeably to the orders of his Excellency, General Washington, the same to be charged to the United States of America." And on January 23rd, he was paid £15 specie in full for his services as captain of this company.
I have not been able to ascertain where the services were rendered.
COUNTY TROOPS ON THE FRONTIERS.
Robinson's Company .- On February 23, 1782, the Executive Council ordered that Capt. John Robinson, now in Reading, be directed to march with his con1- pany fortlıwith to Northumberland County, and there put himself under the command of the Lieutenant of that county for the defence of the frontiers.
Other Troops .- In August, 1782, tlie Indians in- vaded Berks County, and the Lieutenant of the county was required to call into service a lieutenant and en- sign with 25 men for the defense of the frontiers.
Shortly afterward he was ordered to send 50 men to defend the frontiers in parts adjacent to Northum- berland County, and thence to march to Sunbury, where they were to be placed under the command of Col. Samuel Hunter. And in September following he was ordered to call into service immediately 125 of the county militia, who were to march to Northum- berland and rendezvous at Muncy.

Regt., laid before the Council instructions for his entering on the re- cruiting service given him by the Lieut .- Col. of the Regt., and thereupon recruiting instructions were issued to him in the County of Berks, with orders to the Lieutenant of the County for money, Sept. 14, 1778."
In the account of Col. Jacob Morgan, Lieutenant of the County, the following entry appears :

144
REVOLUTION.
Thomas Hartley was born near Reading in 1748. When 18 years old he went to York, Penna., and subsequently became a dis- tinguished attorney of York. He was active in the Revo- lution, serving as a colonel during 1777 and 1778, and promi- nently identified with the State Assembly and the National Congress. He died at York in 1800. His distinguished career justifies this honorable mention.
ARMY SURGEONS FROM THE COUNTY.
A number of the surgeons in the Revolution were from Berks County. Two became especially promi-

Dr. Bodo Otto. Dr. Daniel Welcher. Dr. Andrew Forrest.
Dr. Jonathan Potts. Dr. John Umstead. Dr. Nicholas Snell.
Dr. John A. Otto.

Hospitals at Reading .- Col. Isaac Melcher was in charge of the barracks at different places. While on a visit at Reading in October, 1777, he addressed a letter to Executive Council on the 8th inst. in which he stated that "we are now taking public places of worship here for hospitals, and private houses, which is very distressing to the county, particularly at this period, when many of our worthy fellow-citizens are wandering from place to place for shelter."' He added that there were sick and wounded in the place, and he had engaged a quantity of wood at Reading to supply 200 or 300 sick the ensuing Winter.
REPORTS OF MEN SUPPLIED FROM THE COUNTY.
In my extended researches for the men that were supplied by Berks County during the Revolution, I found the following reports in the Colonial Records and Pennsylvania Archives. They must be consid- ered in connection with the companies and men here- inbefore mentioned in order to get at the probable number engaged in actual service.
The total number of men from Pennsylvania in actual pay on July 1, 1776, was reported as follows :
In the Army, 1432; in the Navy, 743. On August I, 1776, it was : Army, 1365 ; in the Navy, 768.
The company of Capt. Henry Christ was the only company from Berks County in service at that time. At the first report it had 62 men ; at the second, 64 men.
I could not ascertain the names of any inen from Berks County who were in the naval service, nor that any were in the military service below Philadelphia.

Reports.
Oct. 16, 1776 .- The Council proposed to raise four battalions of militia for the immediate defence of the State, 500 men to be sup- plied by Berks County, and the same number by York, Cumberland and Lancaster Counties. [These may have been made up by Col. Haller's Regiment.]
Dec. 11, 1776 .- Capt. Stephen Crumrine was paid £15 to be dis- tributed among the families of the poor Associators who were in his company.
April 24, 1777 .- Congress asked Pennsylvania to call out 3000 militia, one-half to rendezvous at Chester, on the Delaware, and the other half at Bristol ; and, in pursuance of this request, an order was sent to Col. Morgan on the 25th to furnish 500 men from Berks County and march them immediately to Bristol, with as many arms and accoutrements as could be procured in the county. If the first class should not amount to that number, the second class was also to march. Each man was to be supplied with a blanket. He was directed to exert himself to the utmost to com- ply with this order, because it was thought the British were then preparing to make an immediate attack upon Pennsylvania. He received this order on the 26th, while he and his sub-lieutenants were in session receiving the militia returns of the inhabitants of the county. In a letter to Council on April 27th he added :
" It would be impracticable to forward the business sooner, as the county is so very extensive, half the inhabitants would not have timely notice. As for my own part, your Excellency [ President of Council] may rest well assured I shall leave no stone unturned that tends in the least to promote the good and welfare of my Country, and the General Cause of the Independent States which I have really so much at heart."
June 13, 1777 .- Council informed Col. Morgan that they were "for some time impatiently expecting to hear that the 1st class of militia had joined the Camp at Bristol, and that the 2nd was ready to march on the shortest notice." On the 27th, he reported that two companies of the 1st class were ready to march on the next day.
The subsequent orders were modified. Troops were eventually forwarded shortly afterward, consisting of two battalions, com- manded by Col. Daniel Hunter and Col. Daniel Udree.
September 6th .- The Lieutenants were asked to have all the militia ready on account of a supposed intention of the British to
147
REVOLUTION.
invade the State and get possession of Philadelphia ; and Berks County was ordered to forward a class to Derby.
September 12th .- The 3rd and 4th classes of militia were called out, and on the 18th, Col. Morgan reported that he hoped to have them ready to march soon, but that they were badly off for want of arms.
In October there were altogether only about 1600 militia of the State in service, and it was expected that they would fall far short of that number in a few days.
Oct. 17, 1777 .- Gen'l Washington reported that the term of ser- vice of great numbers of the Pennsylvania militia had then ex- pired, and said that, inasmuch as the British were in Philadelphia, "at least one-half of the men capable to bear arms should be called into the field." He expressed surprise " that Pennsylvania, the most opulent and populous of all the States has but 1200 mili- tia in the field at a time when the enemy are endeavoring to fix their Winter quarters in her Capitol," and added that on an aver- age, the State battalions were never above one-third full, and many even far below that.
In the Battle of Germantown about 1500 militia of Pennsylvania were engaged. From the biographical sketch of Col. Joseph Hiester, which was prepared in 1832, I am led to say that some of the Berks County Militia were included in this number, but how many I am not able to state, though I made diligent search in the Colonial Records, Pennsylvania Archives, and other publications for data bearing on this particular occurrence.
In January, 1778, General Washington recommended that Capt. Edward Scull recruit 150 men in Berks County for the Battalion of the State in the Continental army.
January 5, 1778 .- Council sent a circular to the Lieutenant of the county, calling out the 6th and 7th classes of militia, as com- pletely accoutred and equipped as possible, and directing the men to be forwarded immediately, because the time of service of those in the field was about to expire. By this circular it appears that Council required "returns of the militia " which went into service. No returns, however, have yet been discovered, showing what companies and men were forwarded from Berks County to fill certain orders.
Feb. 10, 1778 .- Capt. Edward Scull and Lieut. William Hen- derson, of the 4th Penna. Regt., were ordered on the recruiting service.
148
REVOLUTION.
March 24, 1778 .- Ordered tbat 200 militia of Berks County be detailed for duty at Reading, to guard magazines of military stores, provisions, etc., pursuant to a resolution of Congress on March 19, 1778. This order was filled on April 15, 1778.
April 24, 1778 .- A guard of one sergeant and nine privates was placed at Boone's mill, eight miles below Reading (near Stoners- ville), where Morgan (Q. M.) had placed that week 500 knapsacks to be painted, and some person had set fire to them and so de- stroyed them.
May 22, 1778 .- The Vice-President of Council directed the guard at Reading to be discontinued, excepting a small guard for tbe stores, wbich should not exceed 50; and on the 27th, Col. Morgan re- ported tbat he bad reduced the guard at Reading to 50, rank and file
September 16, 1778 .- Capt. James Wilson, of Reading, was recommended for recruiting service by his commanding officer.
October 19, 1778 .- The Executive Council received intelligence from New York tbat the British were about to make an important movement, and it was determined that Maj .- Gen'l Armstrong should go to Philadelphia and take command of tbe militia in case of an invasion. The quota of southeastern Pennsylvania was fixed at 15 battalions-the quota of Berks County at 2. 1 could not find any returns of men forwarded at that time.
