to have been able to relate many incidents of the contests in which he was engaged, but they were never written, and have now passed into that history which no living recollection can recall. He asked the National Government to reward his services, but being unable to furnish other evidence than the existence of his name on the roll of his company, he never received the pension to which he was justly entitled. The State recognized his services by a small yearly annuity.
There were from Watts township, then Green- wood, in the Revolutionary army, John Buchanan, whose descendants are now living in the townships of Greenwood and Liverpool ; Robert Moody, Mr Mountz, Mr. Philips, William Rodgers and William Philips. These men were all distinguished for their patriotism, but of their achievements in the sanguinary struggle which gave us a nation, no detailed account can be gathered.
WILLIAM PATTERSON served in the patriot army one year. He lived in that part of Duncannon known as Petersburg. It was then scarcely a vil- lage of Rye township. Mr. Patterson remembered the tories mustering on Young's Hill.
PETER KIPP served seven years as a soldier in the American army. He returned home after Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, and lived for many years afterward in Buffalo township.
GEORGE ALBRIGHT, one of the first settlers of Buck's Valley, shouldered his musket at the break- ing out of the war, and went forth to serve his country as a soldier, while his wife, with a servant

girl and several small boys, did the farming. Mrs. Albright and her servant girl took her grain to the banks of the Susquehanna on horseback, where they hitched their horses, and placing it in a canoe, pushed down the river to the nearest mill, at Dau- phin. Here they waited until the grain was ground into flour, which was then placed in the canoe, and pushed back, up the stream, by the two women, landed and placed on the backs of their horses, and thus taken home.
Mr. Albright returned home at the close of the war, and lived the remainder of his life as a citizen of the valley he had helped to defend. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, which he lived to see prosper in the home of his adoption. He died at an advanced age, and his remains lie buried in the soil of the valley, in a spot sacred to the mem- ory of every lover of his country. We would not less nobly consecrate the spot in which the no less self-sacrificing wife of his bosom was buried.
The following will show that Perry county was not free from tories during the Revolution :
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, SS. :
Before me, George Robinson, one of His Majesty's Justices, for said county, personally appeared Clefton Bowen, who, being duly examined and sworn, doth depose and say : that sometime in the month of January last, he, this deponent, was in the house of John Montgomery, in Tyrone township, in company with a certain Edward Erwin, of Rye township, and this deponent says he then and there heard said Erwin drink damnation and con- fusion to the Continental Congress, and damn their proceedings, saying they were all a parcel of damned rebels, and against spring would be cut off like a parcel of snowbirds, and more such stuff.

CHAPTER II.
WAR OF 1812-15.
During the early part of the year 1814 Governor Simon Snyder ordered that a thousand militia be raised in Pennsylvania to assist in repelling the British invasion on the Canada frontier. About one-half of this number was composed of volun- teers from Cumberland county; the residue were raised principally by draft from the counties of Franklin, York and Adams. These soldiers con- stituted the Eleventh regiment or division, and were commanded by General Porter, and led by Colonel James Fenton, Lieut. Col. Robert Bull, Majors Galloway and Marlin. The Cumberland county troops were rendezvoused at Carlisle, from which place they were marched to Pittsburg, thence to Black Rock Fort, now the site of the thriving city of Buffalo, which place they reached about the Ist of April. They remained here in encampment, engaged in drill and guard duty, until the 2d of July, when General Brown, contrary to the expectation of his officers who had made pre- paration for the celebration of the Fourth in camp, and invited the commander to participate, issued orders to embark the troops next morning at day- light.
The army consisted of two brigades. The first

commanded by General Scott, with the artillery corps in charge of Major Hurdman, landed nearly a mile below, while General Ripley, in command of the second brigade, disembarked about the same dis- tance above Fort Erie. A battery of long eigh- teens was soon planted in position to command the fort, while a flag was dispatched with the demand to surrender in two hours or the bombardment would be commenced. At the end of the truce, 137 men including officers, marched out and sur- rendered themselves prisoners of war. Thus was carried out Generals Brown and Scott's determina- tion to eat their Fourth of July dinners in Fort Erie. The day was one of busy preparation for an ag- gressive movement against the enemy's army, which was composed of the British's supposed in- vincibles, then encamped at the mouth of the Chip- pewa. Before daylight, however, on the morning of the fifth, it was ascertained that the three days' rations, ordered to be supplied to the troops, could not be furnished until a boat could be dispatched to Buffalo and return with them. This caused a delay until two o'clock in the afternoon, before the army of about 3,500 were ready to march and it was four o'clock before the militia came in sight of the regular troops who had preceded them.
Scarcely had they halted when there was a requisi- tion made for volunteers to drive off the Indians, who had being annoying the pickets by firing upon them from their places of concealment. This was answered by about three hundred volunteers, com- posed of officers, who exchanged their swords for

muskets, and private soldiers from the Eleventh regiment, strengthened by several hundred friend- ly Indians, commanded by Gencral Porter, Colonel Bull and Major Galloway. An order commanding every white man who went with General Porter to leave his hat and go with his head uncovered, was issued before starting. The Indians tied up their heads with muslin and blackened their faces by rubbing their hands over burnt stumps before starting. Thus equipped the skirmishers started, and in less than half an hour were engaged in the battle known in history as Chippewa, during the progress of which Colonel Bull, Major Galloway, Captain White, and a number of private soldiers were surrounded by Indians, who, concealed in the high grass, had permitted the main body of the troops to pass, that they might the more safely and effectually secure the officers. Having disarmed their prisoners they next commenced stripping them of their clothing, one taking a coat, another a vest while a third claimed the neckcloth. If a shirt showed'a ruffle anywhere a fourth claim- ed it. Major Galloway and private Wendt were stripped of their boots and compelled to march through thorn and other stubble barefoot, until, in the language of the latter, "their feet were run through and through."
The party had advanced their prisoners but a short distance until they were halted, and there was evidently an Indian dissatisfied about some- thing. They started again, and had scarce gone more than half a mile when the dissatisfied Indian,

then in the rear, whooped loudly, raised his rifle and shot Colonel Bull through the body. The ball entered the left shoulder and came out through the right breast. After he was pierced with the bullet, Colonel Bull raised himself on his elbow, reached out his hand to Major Galloway and said, " Help me, Wendt, I am shot!" The help implored by the dying man was prevented by the Indian who had shot him coming up, sinking his tomahawk into his head and scalping him.
This act, so contrary to all laws of human war- fare, was no doubt in compliance with the order of General Riall, which was in substance not to spare any who wore the uniform of militia officers, while those who wore the regular officer's uniform were to be brought into camp in safety. To this fact we as- cribe the cruel fate of a brave soldier and good officer.
His surviving comrades bear testimony to the sober and exemplary habits of Colonel Bull. At Erie, it is said, he spent his Sabbaths in the hos- pital among the sick, ministering to their physical wants, or reading and conversing with them about the truths of religion.
My informant, Michael Donnelly, Esq., volun- teered to go aboard of Perry's fleet, then operating on Lake Erie, expecting to be gone two or three days at most, but did not get back to his company until twenty-eight days afterward.
