MUSTER ROLLS.
The following Muster rolls are of those companies which were raised in Newbury for the defense of the frontier, and to repel the invasion of Burgoyne.
They do not include the service which the majority of the men performed elsewhere, in New Hampshire and Massachusetts regiments. Where the record of such service could be obtained, it is given in the family record of such soldier, and it is also given in the case of men who served in the war before coming here.
For research the following volumes should be consulted : Vols. XIV., XV., XVI., XVII., of the New Hampshire State Papers ; "Connecticut Men in the Revolution," and the series of volumes which contain, in alphabetical order, the record of each soldier or sailor who served in the revolutionary war from the state of Massachusetts.

The amount of this roll was £62, 1. Approved and paid, October 26, 1786.
A Company of Independent Militia marched to Fort Ticon- deroga, under the command of Captain Thomas Johnson, in 1777, and assisted in the siege of Mount Independence.
No muster roll of this company, or list of the men has been found, although search has been made for it at Montpelier, Concord, Boston and Washington.
The names of some of the men are known, and it is believed to have comprised very nearly the same men who, in September following marched to Saratoga under Col. Frye Bayley ; Capt. Johnson then acting as an aid to General Lincoln.
After the capture of Ft. Ticonderoga this company was sent to escort some prisoners to Charlestown, N. H.
The following is among the Johnson papers :

BRADFORD, 5th March, 1813.
Honored Sir :- In obedience to your commission I have enlisted good and effective privates and have led them to a choice of officers, on the 4th instant, and all agree to stand ready at a moment's warning at the call of our country, and that no lines shall stop us if we are called either against foreign enemies or domestic traitors ; and all agree to obey the orders of their superior officers according to the rules and articles of war. I have herewith sent you a copy of the enlistment and the names of the several persons enlisted, out of whom James Davis of Topsham was chosen first Lieutenant, Daniel Leslie of Bradford, second Lieutenant and Samuel Grow of Newbury ensign. All of them have accepted their appointments aud if you would be so good as to send to each of them their commissions as soon as possible I should be pleased. This from your friend who will always endeavor to stand ready in obedience to your call. JOHN MCDUFFEE.
To his Excellency Jonas Galusha, Gov. of the State of Vermont.
N. B .- Please to direct the commissions, if forwarded, to the Post Officec, Bradford.
This was a company of Minute Men which enlisted to be called upon in case of an emergency, but not having been needed it was discharged at the close of the war, in 1815.
The captain of the company, Emerson Corliss, was an old Revolutionary hero. He enlisted when he was only seventeen years of age, and was in the battles of Bunker Hill, Trenton, Princeton, Bennington, Stillwater, Saratoga and many others. He was twice wounded, and at the battle of Bennington, seven balls were shot through his coat and one through his hat. Mrs. P. S. Chamberlin of Bradford and Mrs. R. W. Chamberlin of Newbury are his granddaughters.

MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS.
PEACHAM, Vt., AUG. 9th, 1801.
COLO. THOMAS JOHNSON,
Sir: Through General Whitelaw I have received a polite request from you to furnish, in company with Mr. Carter and Mr. Goss, an ode for the ensuing election. For my own part I have undertaken the task with much diffidence, and have executed it by no means satisfactorily to myself. Such as it is, however, I enclose it to you, and you may be assured that I shall not be disappointed should it be rejected or too defective for so public an occasion.
I believe Mr. Carter has forwarded you a similar one by this mail; as far as I am interested you are welcome to make use of one, or both, or neither, as your judgement shall dictate.
I am, Sir, Respectfully your most o'b't Servt., BARNES BUCKMINSTER.
(The ode is copied from the Christian Harmony, pp. 163-165.)
1 Welcome the day from which our State, Computes the era of its date, This day a government began Essential to the rights of man; O may its blessings ne'er expire Till time's extinct, the globe on fire.
2 Not fifty years have rolled away Since savage foes spread wide dismay Where now rich fields of yellow corn Our vallies and our hills adorn The maple, screen for Indian darts, Now yields the wealth of India's marts.
3 Vermont, thy sons are more than blest, In wealth increasing, public rest ; Thy rulers from the people's choice Obedient to the public voice, Possess the power, the goodness, will, A people's interest to fulfill.
4 But most in him, the Chief who guides The faction's waves of popular tides, Whose patriotism none impeach, Whose virtue no vile slanders reach, To whom the graces long have paid The homage of a patriot's aid.
