SOLDIERS' RECORD.
-
The Revolutionary war is the first in which any of our citizens were engaged, and notwithstanding the controversy with New
York, they were ever ready to co-operate with other towns on the grants, against the common enemy. These were times " that tried men's souls," and while engaged with the common enemy, and with New York, they had to cope with a more dangerous foe within their own midst, the tories, against whom they were greatly incensed, and while they applied the " Beach Seal" to the naked backs of the "haughty New Yorkers," they hung the tories convicted of "enmical " con- duct to the nearest tree.
A good many of the early settlers of the town participated in this war. During the invasion of Burgoyne, a company of militia was organized here, and some of our citizens were engaged in the battle of Bennington. Soon after the close of the war, there were many of the Revolutionary soldiers who set- tled in this town, the most of them remain- ing till their death. It is many years since the last one died, and but little knowledge of them is now within our reach. Although no monument marks the place of many, and even the names of some are fading from the memory, we will gather up what few frag- ments are still left, and transmit them to our posterity.
" Here rest the great and good,-here they repose After their generous toil. A sacred band, They take their sleep together, while the year Comes with its early flowers to deck their graves And gather them again, as winter frowns. Theirs is no vulgar sepulcher,-green sods Are all their monument . ; and yet it tells A nobler history than pillared piles, Or the eternal pyramids. They need No statne nor inscription to reveal Their greatness. It is ronnd them ; and the joy With which their children tread the hallowed ground
That holds their venerated bones, the peace That smiles on all they fought for, and the wealth
That clothes the land they rescued,-these, though
mute
As feeling is when deepest .- these
Are monuments more lasting, than the fanes Reared to the kings and demigods of old.
"Tonch not the ancient trees, that bend their heads Over their lowly graves ; beneath their bonghs There is a solemn darkness, even at noon, Suited to such as vi-it at the shrine Of serions liberty. No factions voice
Called them unto the field of generous fame, But the pure consecrated love of home. No deeper feeling sways ns, when it wakes In all its greatness. It has told itself To the astonished gaze of awo-struck kings, At Marathon, at Bannockburn, and here, Where first our patriots sent the invaders back Broken and cowed. Let those greon eluis bo nil

To tell us where they fought, and where they lie. Their feelings were all nature ; and they need No art to make them known. They need No column pointing to the heaven they sought, To tell us of their home. Let these trees Bend their protecting shadows o'er their graves, And build with their green roof the only fane, Where we may gather on the hallowed day, That rose to them in blood, and set in glory."
We annex, in addition to the names given on page 590, a list of revolutionary soldiers who settled in this town, with the rank, and age and year of decease, of each one so far as we have been able to ascertain :

THE WAR OF 1812.
After 30 years of peace, in 1812, our na- tion was again involved in a war with Great Britain. Our citizens did not hesitate to
take up arms against their old enemy, in defense of the liberty and independence their fathers had won. The impressment of our seamen by the British, and the plundering of our commerce was a sufficient cause for a declaration of war, which act Congress pass- ed the 18th of June, 1812. It is the duty of every nation to protect and defend its own citizens, and when the right to exercise this was denied us, the genius of freedom was again aroused, and after a contest of 3 years, peace was restored to a free, united and in- dependent nation.
We annex a list of those who entered the service, viz. William Bromley, jr., Oliver Emerson, Luther Briggs, David Benson, Ed- ward Tabor, Noah Gifford, Gideon Moody, Rufus Bucklin, jr., and Moses Harrington. Names of those who were drafted : Joh: Col- vin, Israel Colvin, Levi Parris, Jacob Mc Daniels, Consider Frink, Stephen Calkins, jr., John Vail, Isaac Vail, Ira Seley, Enoch Colvin, Joseph Bartlett, Benoni Colvin, and Bromley Seley.
THE MEXICAN WAR, 1846.
The object of the Mexican war being the acquisition of more territory, in which to ex- tend the institution of slavery, it did not arouse the sympathy of our citizens. A large amount of territory however was acquired, popular States, and thriving cities have developed, and instead of its becoming slave territory, the larger portion was consecrated to freedom. Notwithstanding, the necessity of the war was not generally concurred in by our citizens. We have the names of 16 re- cruits who went from this town, viz. Darwin Ballard, Elisha Bradley, Hiram Harrington, Samuel Hall, Daniel Hilliard, Chauncey Maxham, Jamon Preston, Caleb Roberts, Oliver Sheldon, C. Smith, Wesson Soule, Henry Tufts, Stephen Woods, Willard Woods, L. Smith, and Hiram Wait.
Below will be found a copy of a letter Written to Miner Hilliard, Esq., in 1848, and which gives a better record of the recruits from this town, than we could give :
" PACHICA, MEXICO, Feb. 4th, 184S.
DEAR SIR :- Yours of Dec. 10th, was re- ceivel by last mail, and I write in answer. for the reason that the Capt. is at present unable, having hurt his hand whilst visiting the mines at Rio Del Montis.

the city of Mexico, left Dec. 26th, 1847; Bradley died of fever in hospital, city of Mex- ico, Oct. 5th, 1847; Harrington was trans- ferred to Co. K, June 5th, 1847, and was left sick in hospital Vera Cruz, July 12th, 1847; Hall was wounded at Cherubusco, in the shoulder. After recovery of his wound he died in hospital at Mexico, Nov. 16th, 1847 ; Hilliard deserted at Fort Adams, May 26th, 1847; Maxham was left sick in hospi- tal at Puebla, Aug. 6th, 1847 ; others left sick at the same time who have since joined the Co., report him as having recovered and on duty ; Preston is with the Co., and well ; Roberts was left sick in hospital at Puebla, the 6th, and died Aug 26th, 1817 ; Chauncey Smith is well and with his Co. doing duty ; Sowle was wounded in the ancle, at Cheru- busco. After getting well and returning to his company for duty, was taken with the brain fever and died in the hospital at Mex- ico, Oct. 15th, 1847 ; Tufts deserted at Fort Adams, May 26th, 1847; Stephen Woods was left sick in hospital Dec. 26th, 1847 ; he has been in hospital some four months and will probably be discharged as soon as he recovers ; Willard Woods is present with the Co. doing duty, and is well and hearty ; Lu- ther Smith is present with the Co., he has just recovered from a severe fit of sickness, but is now well and doing duty. For his good conduct at Contreras and Cherubusco, he was promoted to be a corporal, which post he holds now ; Wait died in hospital at Mex- ico, Nov. 13th, 1847.
In conclusion permit me to say that with the exception of two who thought discretion the better part of valor, the Danby boys have nobly sustained their own reputation, and the reputation of the State to which they belong. Danby may well be proud of them. With much respect,
I remain, yours, N. C. MILLER, 1st Sergt: Co. D., 9th Infantry." THE WAR OF 1861-5.
Danby bore her part faithfully during the struggle. This town was among the first to respond to the call of the government for men, and it has a record of which he: citizens may well be proud. Although called upon from time to time to raise large bounties and large taxes, yet when the war closed, every dollar of the war debt was paid. The quota required at different times, was promptly filled, and the bounties voted without hesita- tion. The town paid in bounties $13,625, the bounties ranging from $100 to $1,200. There are doubtless not many towns in the State, from which a larger number enlisted into the service, in proportion to the number subject to military duty. In 1863, the roll of men subject to be drafted from. numbered 137 and there were 103 men enlisted into
the service during the war, being 6 more than was required to fill the quota of the town, Under the call of the President of July 18, 1864, for 500,000 men, the town stood as follows : number enrolled 137 ; quota under the call, 21; excess of credit over pre- vious calls, 18 ; number to be raised July 31, 1864, was 6. But few towns in the State can show a better record.
Danby was represented in most of the in- fantry regiments raised in the State, as well as in the cavalry, sharpshooters and batter- ies, also in several regiments from New York and other States. We were also represented in nearly every battle and campaign of the war. Our volunteers were in all the move- inents of the army of the Potomac; in the campaign of General Mcclellan in 1862, in his fruitless attempts to take Richmond, and in the campaigns of Pope, Burnside and Hooker. They were with General Meade, and assisted in achieving the victory at Gettysburg, and Lookout Mountain ; in the march of Sheridan through the Shenandoah Valley, and were with General Banks at the taking of Mobile. They were also with Gen- eral Grant, and shared in all the movements, from the Rapidan to the closing battles around Richmond.
It is due to those who enlisted from this town to say, that they were mostly men of intelligence and good moral character, and were brave and faithful soldiers. When the nation was threatened with destruction, and in its hour of peril, these men sacrificed the comforts of home, leaving their business, their families, and all they held dear, endur- ing untold hardships and sufferings, from toilsome marches through mud and over fro- zen ground, exposure to heat and cold, pri- vations in food and raiment, from diseases in camp and wounds on the field, some of them meeting death far from home and kindred, for its preservation. We have no honors too great, or gifts too precious to bestow upon such men, for we can never pay the great debt we owe them. Those who survived, re- turned to their homes after serving out their term of enlistment, to be again useful citi- zens. It is our duty to celebrate in song and in story, the sacrifices, virtues and zeal of these men, transmitting them to our chil- dren and grandchildren, that they may de- rive new courage and zeal in "performing their duty to their country and their God."
