INTRODUCTION.
I. REVOLUTIONARY RECORDS OF THE STATE.
IN the compilation of the following Military and Naval record of Connecticut in the War of the Revolution, as called for by Act of the General Assembly approved April 13, 1887, various sources of information have been sought and examined. The original and official manuscripts bearing upon the history of that interesting period are, and long have been, in a more or less dispersed con dition—a fact true of the records of all the Thirteen States — and in some instances the greater part has been either lost or destroyed. In the case of Connecticut, while certain gaps occur at intervals in the continuity of her Revolutionary Papers, the more valuable portions have fortunately been preserved and are deposited in permanent and accessible archives. Of this material, the State herself retains a considerable proportion, the Departments of the General Government at Washing ton contain much, and the remainder has passed by gift and purchase into the keeping of indi viduals, Societies, and Libraries throughout the country. For convenient reference the documents may be classified as follows :
1. The original minutes of the proceedings of the General Assembly of Connecticut, covering
the period of the war, on file in the office of the Secretary of State, Hartford.
2. The original minutes of the proceedings of the Governor and Council, or Committee of
War, covering the period of the war, on file in the State Library, Hartford.
3. Pay-Rolls of the Connecticut Regiments in the Continental "Line" for certain years, and
scattering pay -table accounts of State troops and militia, together with individual accounts, bound in twelve volumes, on file in the office of the State Comptroller, Hartford.
4. Thirty-eight bound folio volumes, marked " Revolutionary War," covering a period of
ten years or more from 1774, and containing numerous original rolls, letters, accounts, resolutions, petitions, town-lists, and similar material, unbound, on file in the State Library.
5. Rolls, letters, and various documents bearing on the service of Connecticut troops, on file
among the papers of General Washington in the Department of State, Washington, D. C.
0. Forty-seven bound folio volumes, containing company and regimental muster and pay rolls of the regiments of the Connecticut "Line," together with numerous militia rolls and miscellaneous papers, and the large mass of applications for pensions, on file in the Pension Bureau, Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C.
7. The "Trumbull Papers," consisting of twenty -two bound volumes, containing the official correspondence of Governor Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut during the entire period of the war, inclusive also of many rolls and miscellaneous documents, in pos session of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston. 2 (i«)
x CONNECTICUT IN THE REVOLUTION.
8. Various Revolutionary papers, military and naval, in possession of the Connecticut
Historical Society, Hartford.
9. Forty or more Orderly Books, kept by Connecticut officers during the war, containing
general, division, brigade, and regimental orders issued in camp and on the march, in the possession for the most part of individuals and Societies.
10. Miscellaneous letters, rolls, maps, diaries, and other papers in the hands of descendants of Revolutionary soldiers, individuals, and collectors, or deposited in Libraries and State and Town archives.
Supplementing these documents, and included among the authorities on which this work is based, must be mentioned the mass of original letters and papers which have found their way into print in such publications as Force's American Arch ires, the volumes issued by Historical Societies, magazines, genealogies, monographs, and Town histories.
II. ARRANGEMENT OF THE ROLLS.
The several rolls and lists in the following pages, compiled from the foregoing records, have been arranged chronologically according to the description of the service in which the troops engaged. Thus, after the first alarm, the Continental soldiers are classified in the order in which they were called out, then the State troops, and finally the Militia, with special lists following.
The Lexington Alarm. — The first lists in the record, grouped under the head of the "Out break of the War," include the names of the men who, under the provocation of the moment, marched to the relief of their Massachusetts neighbors in the Lexington Alarm. Some explanation of the nature of this service appears in the introductory text on pages 3 and 4. It will be observed that the forty-eight towns from which the companies set out represent, with three exceptions, the eastern and central counties, which were then the thickly settled sections of the State, the nearest to the point of danger, the best prepared for an emergency, and the most accessible in case of alarm. It may also be noticed that the four thousand townsmen who responded to the Lexington call were a representative body, largely descendants of original settlers, including all elements in the different communities, — judges, pastors, lawyers, physicians, farmers, mechanics, sailors, labor ers, —and that as a list of a respectable number of the male inhabitants of the State in 1775, which may be utilized in historical and genealogical researches, a peculiar interest attaches to it. Follow ing in their proper place are the names of the men engaged in the Ticonderoga enterprise.
Continental Troops. — Next in order have been arranged the rolls of the Connecticut quota of that part of the Revolutionary forces known as the " Continental " troops, which constituted the body of Washington's army in the field throughout the war. They stand first in importance, as explained on page IU, and as appears from their military history in the text introductory to the subdivisions A, B, C, and D, under which they have been classified. After the Lexington Alarm the State raised eight regiments, which were adopted as Continental, to serve to the close of the year 1775. She furnished eight for the year 1770, and eight, with a large additional quota, for the three years' term from 1777 to 1781. Thereafter, from 17X1 to 1783, the numbers were reduced by consolidations. The rosters of these troops form a large portion of the record (pages 33 to 370), and with the exception of some of the rolls for 1775 and the greater part of those for 177G, are believed to be substantially complete. In view of the importance of the campaign of 1776, it is to be regretted that the rolls of seven of the Continental regiments for that year are missing. The names of very many of the men, however, appear on the rolls of 1775, when they served their first term, or on the rolls of 1777, when they re-enlisted for three years or the war, or again on the rolls of State troops and militia in subsequent years. In the absence of these lists the number of officers and soldiers that entered the Continental service from Connecticut during the war can only be approximately estimated; but it may be placed at about fifteen thousand.
INTRODUCTION. Xl
State Troops. — tinder this heading appear a certain number of regiments which were neither Continental nor militia, but were raised mainly in the .early part of the war, to act as reinforce ments for the army in the field, for limited terms. Organized by authority of the State or the Governor, with the officers' commissions signed by the Governor, they were designated as State troops, and at different periods rendered considerable service.
The Militia. — The third distinctive class of troops was the standing Militia of the State, whose rolls, so far as preserved, are arranged, like the preceding, in chronological order. Here again several serious gaps occur in the list, which is a special misfortune from a historical point of view, inasmuch as the militia represented the greater part of the male population of the State. The rolls here published, however, represent a fair proportion of the regiments and men that were called into active service. From the return, as given on page 447, for the year 1782, it may be inferred that the number of effective militia varied during the years of the war from twenty-two to twenty-five thousand.
Miscellaneous Rolls. — The closing pages of the work contain such portions of the Naval record of Connecticut as have been preserved among the documents, also unclassified lists of minutemen, volunteers, independent companies, and individual officers and soldiers, and copies of the Pension lists as published in Congressional and Government documents at various periods since the war.
In compiling and arranging the rolls, as grouped above, a limited amount of explanatory text has been inserted, showing where and for what terms the troops served. It has been possible to do this with a satisfactory degree of accuracy in the case of the regiments of the Continental " Line," and on pages 125-140 and 301-311 may be found an outline of their organization and serv ice generally — battles, encampments, itinerary, and formations — which has been prepared from original letters and Order-books. An introductory note also appears before each regimental roster. In the case of many of the militia regiments and detachments, no record of service has been found.
The publication of this work will doubtless lead to the production or discovery of missing documents, including rolls of entire regiments, companies, or the record of individuals, which it may be desirable to issue in supplementary form in the future. It is especially requested that the originals or copies of these may be forwarded to the Adjutant-General of Connecticut at Hartford.
III. RELATION OF THE STATE TO THE WAR.
The number of separate names in the following lists, as arranged in the Index, reaches a total of twenty-seven thousand eight hundred and twenty -three. In a few cases, probably, through different spelling of names, the same individual has been entered more than once. On the other hand, it is to be observed that in numerous cases the same name represents different individuals. Thus, in the Lexington Alarm list, the William Lyon, of New Haven, could not have been the William Lyon of Woodstock, nor Lieut. William Adams, of the Fourth "Connecticut Line" for 1777-81, be either of the privates of the same name in his regiment. In the Index, however, these five individuals count only as two — William Lyon and William Adams. The identity of others, owing to the absence of a "residence" column in many of the rolls, cannot always be distin guished. From these circumstances it is evidently impossible to give the exact number of different individuals of whom some record has been entered. A total of thirty thousand may be accepted as a reasonable estimate. Of this number some ten thousand represent Continental soldiers — men who had enlisted for long terms and served in the field outside of the State under Washington's immediate command. A complete record, as already indicated, would em brace several thousand additional names, especially of the militia. From expressions used by Governor Trumbull in his correspondence, the wording of the calls for temporary service, and the make-up of town militia lists, it is apparent that, barring a small loyalist element in the western part of the State, nearly every able-bodied man in Connecticut rendered, or
Ill

was enrolled as notified and prepared to render, some kind of service during the Revolutionary War. The exposed situation of the State, with her entire coast subject to incursions and ravages by the enemy and her proximity to the several fields of operations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York, required her to remain in a constant state of preparation. On this account, and because of the size of her population, then relatively large, she was regarded as one of the four strong States supporting the cause, ranking in capacity next after Massachusetts, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. How far the State was represented with her neighbors in the fortunes of the war, sharing with them both success and defeat, is a matter of general history, confirmed by the record in the following pages, from which it appears that after the Lexington Alarm, Connecticut troops participated in all the principal battles, with the exception of those fought in the extreme Southern field. They were present and engaged at the

Bayard, lately Secretary of State, Washington, D. C., who permitted free access to the rich collection of Revolutionary papers in that Department; to Gen. James B. Coit, Chief of the Old War and Navy Division, Pension Bureau, where another valuable collection accumulated in the early part of the century as evidence in pension claims; to Hon. Charles J. Hoadly, Librarian of the Connecticut State Library; to Hon. J. Hammond Trumbull, President of the Connecticut Historical Society; to Dr. Samuel A. Green, Librarian of the Massachusetts Historical Society ; to Maj. E. K. Winship, Washington, D. C. ; and to others — private individuals, librarians, and officials — who have extended courtesies and facilities. The interest taken in the work by United States Senator Joseph R. Hawley, by Governors Henry B. Harrison, Phineas C. Lounsbury, and Morgan G. Bulkeley, and by Adjutants-General Stephen R. Smith, Frederick E. Camp, and Lucius A. Barbour, during whose terms of office the compilation was made, is also cordially acknowledged. To Col. George M. White, Assistant Adju tant-General of the State, under whose general supervision the work has progressed, the Editor is under many and special obligations.

OUTBREAK OF THE WAR,
A. The Lexington Alarm.
13. Ticonderoga Enterprise.
April-May, 1775.
A. THE LEXINGTON ALARM.
rHE Revolutionary record of Connecticut opens with her response to the historic Lexington alarm of April 19, 1775, and closes eight years and a half later with the disbandment, after the Peace, of her last regiment in the field, in November, 1783.
The attitude assumed by the colonists at the beginning of the struggle was that of vigilance and self-defense. Alarmed by the determination of the home government, openly declared within recent years, to establish its authority more firmly in America, they entered vigorous protests against the new policy as tending to endanger certain privileges of their own, assured to them by charter or long enjoyment. While differing somewhat from each other, either in creed, temperament, descent, or manners, the people in the several colonies, or the great majority of them, stood politically, in 1775, on the common platform of non-interference in their local affairs. They advocated home-rule com bined with loyalty to the general interests of the British Empire, which, in effect, represents the relations existing between England and her larger dependencies at the present day. In this sense the cause of any one of the American colonies was the cause of all. An attempt upon the privileges of one was a threat against all. An alarm sounded in one locality was bound to spread by common sympathy to every other.
In Connecticut, especially in her eastern section, this colonial spirit took deep root, and when Massachusetts, in 1774, was made the subject of restrictive measures by the home ministry, general indignation was aroused. As the possibility of a collision became apparent town meetings were held, contributions of money and provisions were voted for the distressed inhabitants of Boston, whose port had been closed by act of Parliament, non-intercourse with British merchants advised, a gen eral congress representing all the colonies proposed, and Committees of Correspondence appointed to circulate all news of importance. A convention of delegates from the two counties of New London and Windham, held at Norwich, September 8, 1774, went further and recommended their towns to keep up their stock of ammunition and attend to the exercise of the train-bands. In the Assembly of the Colony, which in May, 1774, adopted resolutions protesting against the recent acts of Parliament touching America, the drift of events was so far recognized, that, in October, it required the selectmen of the towns to provide a double quantity of "powder, balls, and flint," and in January, 1775, ordered the entire militia to muster and drill once a week during the three months following. The situation was characterized as " an alarming crisis."
The crisis culminated on April 10, 1775. A detachment of British troops marching out from Boston to seize military stores alleged to have been collected at Concord for hostile purposes, was met upon the road by the Provincials and a bloody encounter took place. The since famous skir mishes of Lexington and Concord were fought, which precipitated the Revolutionary War. An "alarm" was immediately spread in every direction, so that on the 27th of April it had reached the principal points as far as Baltimore, and by the llth of May was posted at Charleston, S. C. Throughout New England the news was rapidly carried by horse "expresses" from town to town. It was dispatched to Connecticut by the Massachusetts Committee of Safety at Watertown during the progress of the fighting, or "near ten o'clock" of Wednesday morning, April 19th: "The bearer, Israel Bessel, is charged to alarm the country quite to Connecticut, and all persons are desired to furnish him with fresh horses as they may be needed." During Thursday, the 20th, the news was circulating through the eastern part of the Colony. The people of Windham County received it

generally by noon. It reached Governor Trurnbull at Lebanon not long after. It was doubtless at Hartford before night ; at New Haven on the following evening, Friday, the 21st, and forwarded from there through Fairfield and Stamford to New York.
Prepared to a certain extent for such an alarm, a large number of able-bodied men in Con necticut hurried off to Massachusetts. The wording used in the records of the day, " marched for the relief of Boston," expresses alike the extent of their sympathies and the nature of the service intended. The response to the alarm was not the official action of the Colony, nor, on the other hand, an impromptu movement ?f individuals without previous organization. An "uprising" of armed men might have partaken of a mob character, and the militia regiments as such could only be called out by the governor or legislature. It was rather a movement of the townsmen marching under their militia organizations. The gathering thus became orderly as well as spontaneous, and represented the town spirit shown previously in protests and resolutions. It appears from the records that in some cases the companies or train-bands collected and marched off under their officers without further orders : in other cases, the colonels taking the lead, called out a certain number of their men and directed them to march forthwith to the point of danger ; in a few cases volunteer companies were organized for the special service ; in addition, many individuals, not be longing to the militia, joined in the march, either providing for themselves or going with the com panies. Colonel Williams of the llth Regiment, sends out word on the 20th, "that it will be expedient for every man to go who is fit and willing." A letter dated Wethersfield, April 2.3d, de scribes the scene there as follows : " We are all in motion here, and equipt from the Town yester day, one hundred young men. who cheerfully offered their service, twenty-days' provision and sixty -four rounds per man. They are all well armed and in high spirits. My brother has gone with them and others of the first property. Our neighboring towns are all arming and moving. Men of the first character shoulder their arms and march off for the field of action. We shall by night
have several thousands from this Colony on their march We fix on our Standards and
Drnms the Colony arms, with the motto ' qui transtulit sustinet,' round it in letters of gold, which we construe thus : ' God, who transplanted us hither, will support us.' ' Writing from Wallingford, April 24th, Mr. James Lockwood' says : "Col. Wadsworth was over at this place most of yesterday and has ordered twenty men out of each Company of his Regiment, some of which had .already set off and others go this morning. . . . The Country beyond here are all gone." Nor were the Colony officials inactive. Upon receiving "the tragical narrative" from Massachusetts, Gov. Trumbull issued writs for a special meeting of the Assembly on the 20th, and the general Committee of Correspondence sent prompt assurance of assistance to President Hancock of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. Writing from Lebanon on the 21st, the Committee say: "Every preparation is making to support your Province. . . . The ardour of our people is such that they can't be kept back. The Colonels are to forward part of the best men and the most ready, as fast as possi ble, the remainder to be ready at a moment's warning. These are the present movements with us."
The number of men who are reported in the records to have marched in the Lexington alarm was about four thousand. The duty was necessarily temporary and brief. Some of the companies returned home before reaching Boston, as their presence was not needed. Upon the organization of regiments for service during the year, many of the same men enlisted and continued for different terms during the war. At the May session of the Legislature their service was recognized and the men paid for the time as given on the following lists, the originals of which are on file in the State Library, Rev. War, Vol. If.

B.-THE TICONDEROGA ENTERPRISE.
rHE possession and control of Lakes George and Champlain had, from an early date, been regarded by the people of New York and New England as necessary to their protection against the encroachments of the French in Canada. It was around Ticonderoga and Crown Point that the greater part of the fighting in the French and Indian War occurred. When the Revolutionary struggle opened, the importance of those posts was at once recognized in the northern colonies, and far-sighted individuals in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York, alike proposed their immediate seizure. In addition Fort Ticonderoga contained cannon and stores just then much needed by the Provincials. The step seemed urgent inasmuch as England's hold on the Canadas was firmer than elsewhere in America, and the people of those provinces were not pre pared to disturb it. In the approaching contest, accordingly, the line of the St. Lawrence and the lake region would again become the field of military operations.
In Connecticut and Massachusetts movements were set on foot to secure the old fortress at Ticonderoga immediately after the Lexington alarm. It was then garrisoned by Captain Delaplace of the Twenty-sixth Regiment, British army, and a small company of regulars. In Connecticut the enterprise originated, as reported by Capt. Edward Mott, one of the leaders engaged, in the follow ing manner: "A number of the principal gentlemen of the Assembly at Hartford, on Friday, the twenty-eighth day of April, Conversing on the distressed Condition of the people of Boston, and the means necessary to relieve them, fell on the Scheme to take that -Fortress [Ticonderoga], that we might have the advantage of the Cannon that were there, to relieve the people of Boston. I told the Gentlemen that in my opinion it might be taken by surprise with a few men, if properly Con ducted. On which they desired me, if I was willing to serve my country in that way, to join Captain Noah Phelps, of Simsbury, and Mr. Bernard Romans, on that design, and furnished us with three hundred Pounds in Cash from the Treasury, and desired us to go forward to the Upper Towns, and search into the situation of said Garrison, and, if I thought proper to proceed to take possession of the same." The gentlemen referred to by Mott, who on their individual notes procured the money from the Treasury, were Samuel Wyllys, Jesse Root, and Ezekiel Williams of Hartford, Samuel Bishop, Jr., and Adam Babcock, of New Haven, Samuel Holden Parsons, of New London, Silas Deane, of Wethersfield, William Williams, of Lebanon, Charles Webb, of Stamford, Joshua Porter, of Salisbury, and Thomas Mumford, of Groton. With this informal authority Captains Mott and Phelps, with six, or eight volunteers from Hartford, proceeded to Salisbury where the entire party was increased to sixteen. From that point they continued to Pittsfield, Mass., where Col James Easton, John Brown, Israel Dickinson, and about fifty men were enlisted in the enterprise. In the Hampshire Grants Col. Ethan Allen and Seth Warner, both natives of Connecticut, and one hundred Green Mountain Boys were added to the party, and early on May 10th the fortress was surprised and taken without loss. Capt. Phelps states in a memorial that when the expedition reached Bennington, a council of war was held which directed him and Mr. Hecock, from Sheffield, to proceed in disguise to the fort beforehand and report on its condition, which service he "cheer fully undertook."
Of the Connecticut party, Capt. Mott, as chairman, Epaphras Bull, Noah Phelps, and Col. Easton, of Pittsfield, constituted a " Committee of War for the expedition against Ticonderoga and Crown Point," and by its authority the command of the expedition at the time of the surprise was
(29)

given to Col. Ethan Allen. That officer, in reporting his success to the Massachusetts authorities, stated that the attempt was made "by the order of the General Assembly of the Colony of Connecticut."
In Massachusetts an independent movement was undertaken. The Provincial Committee of Safety, which had previously inquired into the condition of affairs in Canada, appreciated the im portance of Ticonderoga, and it appears were urged to secure it by Benedict Arnold, who had then lately arrived with his New Haven Company in the Lexington Alarm. The Committee entrusted the undertaking to Arnold, and 011 May 3d appointed him "Colonel and Commander-in-Chief " of a body of men not exceeding four hundred which he was to enlist in Western Massachusetts and vicinity, and with them effect the capture of the fortress. Arnold started off alone and overtook the Connecticut expedition under Ethan Allen. By virtue of his Massachusetts commission lie demanded the sole command of the party, but upon its refusal to accept his leadership, he marched with it to the fort and entered the gate "side by side" with Col. Allen. Col. Arnold then enlisted a portion of the regiment authorized by the committee and occupied points on the lakes, at times being in command at Crown Point, which had also been seized, and again at Ticonderoga. On May 18th with fifty men under Captains Brown and Oswald he surprised St. John — Oswald being one of the members of Arnold's New Haven Company.
Following up this successful stroke, Governor Trumbull ordered one of the newly raised regi ments for the year '75, under Col. Hinman, to march immediately to Ticonderoga and Crown Point and occupy them. A request to this effect was also made by the Continental Congress. The Massachusetts Provincial Congress had informed Col. Arnold that as "the affairs of that expe dition began in the Colony of Connecticut," they had written to its Assembly to assume full charge of it. Upon the arrival of Col. Hinman, however, Arnold declined to serve under him and disband ing his small regiment, resigned his Massachusetts' colonelcy June 24th, to appear next, in Septem ber, in command of the expedition through the Maine woods to Quebec.
Upon the assumption in July of the command of Northern New York, or the Northern De partment as it was commonly known, by Major-Gen. Philip Schuyler, Fort Ticonderoga passed under the direction of the Continental authorities. It was held by the Americans throughout the war, except during the interval of the Burgoyne alarm and campaign from July to November, 1777.
The following lists are arranged from the original MSS. in the State Library, Rev. War, Vol. III. The first list represents, as far as the records indicate, the party of sixteen which Capt. Mott states to have started from Connecticut in the first instance to become the nucleus of the expedition.

The term "Continental Army" first appears upon the printed records of the Continental Congress in the summary of the proceedings for June 14, 1775, where the form of enlistment to be subscribed by companies of riflemeu is given. It was to be an enlistment into "the American Continental Army." On the same day a Committee of five was appointed to prepare rules and regulations for the govern ment of this prospective army, which were reported and adopted on the 30th. On June 15th, it was resolved "That a General be appointed to command all the Continental forces, raised or to be raised, for the defence of American Liberty," and Washington was unanimously elected.
At the opening of the War, or for the year 1775, no Continental force was in the first instance organized as such by Congress. As the New England Colonies were mustering their own troops around Boston and Ticonderoga after the Lexing ton alarm, Congress adopted them as Continental. Troops joining them from New York and elsewhere were generally recruited on the Continental basis. For the succeeding years of the war, Congress took the initiative and raised troops for the common army under its own regulations respecting pay, subsistence, and term of service. The force, as will appear, was organized and re-organized several tftnes and for various terms.
These Continentals were the "regulars" of the Revolution. They formed the main army in the field and were the chief dependence of the Colonial cause. In arranging rosters of that war, accordingly, the Continental army occupies the central and most prominent place. All other troops raised during the war, whether State or militia, were to act as reinforcements of this army or to relieve it by serving in alarms at different points. They are so classified after the Continen tals. See "Arrangement of the Rolls" in the Introduction.

A. REGIMENTS FOR 1775.
ORGANIZATION.— The voluntary mustering in the Alarm of April 19th was followed immediately by the first authorized call for troops. On the 20th, upon the receipt of the Lex ington news, Gov. Trumbull summoned the General Assembly to a special session at Hartford to convene the following Wednesday, April 20th. Publishing the call on his own views of the emergency he also received urgent appeals from the Massachusetts authorities for aid and support. Under date of April 20th the Committee of Safety at Cambridge wrote to him as follows: "As the troops have now commenced hostilities, we think it our duty to exert our utmost strength to save our country from absolute slavery. We pray your Honours would afford us all the assistance in your power, and shall be glad that our brethren who come to our aid may be supplied with military stores and pro visions, as we have none of either more than is absolutely necessary for ourselves." Again on April 2Gth they wrote: " The distressed situation in which we are, and the danger to which the liberties of all America, and especially the New England Colonies are exposed, will be the best apology for the importunate application to you for immediate assistance. We pray as you regard the safety of your country, that as large a number of troops as you can spare may immediately march forward."
The Assembly met on the date indicated and held a ten days' session, adjourning Saturday noon, May Gth. While preparing for resistance it refrained from aggressive declarations. It recognized the skirmishes at Lexington and Concord as "Sundry acts of hostility and violence committed in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, by which many lives have been lost," and through a committee of two of its members, as bearers of a letter from the Governor, requested General Gage at Boston to explain his military preparations and late incursion. Its attitude is represented in these expressions in the Gover nor's letter: "The people of this Colony, you may rely upon it, abhor the idea of taking up arms against the troops of their sovereign, and dread nothing so much as the horrors of a civil war. But, Sir, at the same time we beg leave to assure your Excellency, that as they apprehend themselves justified by the principle of self-defence, they are most firmly resolved to defend their rights and privileges to the last extremity; nor will they be restrained from giving aid to their brethren if any unjustifiable attack is made upon them."
The leading measure of the session was An Act for assembling, equipping, etc., a Number of the Inhabitants of this Colony for the Special Defence and Safety thereof. It provided that one fourth part of the Colony militia should be forthwith enlisted, accoutred, and assembled, to be led and conducted as the General Assembly should order. This apportionment represented about six thousand men, who were to be distributed in six regiments of ten companies each, with a full complement of field, staff, and line officers. The entire body was to be commanded by one major-general and two brigadier-generals, each of whom was also to take command of a regiment as colonel. Arms, equipments, pay, billeting, and bounty money were provided, and "beating orders" delivered to the officers to recruit their compa nies by voluntary enlistment. The term of service was not to exceed seven months.
At the third special session of the Assembly, convened July 1, 1775, two more regiments, somewhat smaller, were ordered, making eight in all, consisting of about seven thousand four hundred men. This included the entire number of troops called out by authority of the Colony, for service which took them beyond its limits, in the year 1775. The officers were all appointed by the Assembly.
As Continental Troops. — Accepting war as inevitable the Continental Congress at Philadelphia proceeded, as stated on page 34, to organize a Continental Army. The troops which had hurriedly gathered
(35)
36 CONNECTICUT IN THE REVOLUTION.
around Boston, including regiments from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and two of the Connecticut regiments referred to above, were already in the field as good material for the nucleus of such an army. Washington arrived in camp at Cambridge on July 3d, and the Colony troops having accepted his leadership and the regulations of Congress, the entire force was placed upon a Continental establishment. This new relation was officially announced by Washington in General Orders dated "Head Quarters, Cambridge, July 4, 1775," as follows:
The Continental Congress having now taken all the Troops of the several Colonies, which have been raised, or which may be hereafter raised, for the support and defence of the Liberties of America into their Pay and Service; They are now the Troops of the United Provinces of North America; and it is to be hoped that all Distinctions of Colonies will be laid aside: so that one and the same spirit may animate the whole, and the only Contest be, who shall render on this great and trying occasion, the most essential Service to the great and common cause in which we are all engaged.
Service. — Of the eight Connecticut regiments organized as stated, five were ordered at different times during the summer to the Boston camps under Washington and three to the Northern Department un der Schuyler. The five were those of Generals Spencer and Putnam and Colonels Parsons, Charles Webb, and Huntington. With them also were four companies of the regiments under Schuyler, indicated in the rolls. These troops were engaged with the army in general in throwing up works around Boston and main taining the siege of the place. Some disatisfaction occurred among the men and many returned home just before the expiration of their term of service. Their excuses were those of men who had enlisted provisionally and as yet had not learned the true meaning of military discipline. Desertion they dis claimed. The trouble proved to be temporary, as the regiments, upon the enlistment of troops for the next year, were recruited to the average strength.
The three regiments for the Northern Department were those of General Wooster and Colonels Hinman and Waterbury, with one company of Colonel Parsons' regiment. They took part in the opera tions under Schuyler and Montgomery, looking to the secure possession of Lakes George and Champlain and the invasion of Canada. Much sickness prevailed among the men. The records show that these regiments at first declined to be mustered as Continental, the men preferring to remain during their term, which expired December 10, on the Colony establishment ; but the matter coming before the Legislature at its October session, it resolved that all the Connecticut troops "then employed against the ministerial troops in Canada, shall be suject to the rules, orders, regulations, and discipline of the Congress of the twelve United Colonies during the time of their enlistment." They thus became what they had been considered in the field — Continental regiments.
Bunker Hill and Quebec.— In a note appended to General Putnam's, or the Third Regiment, some statements appear respecting the Connecticut detachment at Bunker Hill, and at the close of the record for 1775 (following Huntington's regiment) the record of Connecticut men in the Quebec Expedition is given.
The list of Staff officers and rosters of the regiments for 1775, compiled from the records, State Library, Rev. War, Voh. IT and III, and other original sources, are as follows:

Jonathan Heart, of Southington, (afterwards an officer through the war,) is said to have been in one of the regi ments before Boston in '75. He may have been a volunteer in the 21' Co. of Spencer's Regt. as Capt. Scott
of that Co. authorizes the Pay table Committee to deliver the pay for his men "to Jonathan Heart." A number of men entered as deserters about Dec. 1, afterwards explained, in petitions, that they had no inten tion of deserting, but believed that their term had expired on that date instead of the 10lh. "The Assembly ordered them to be paid for full time. Some of these cases are on record, viz. : Serjt. Joseph Stocking, Privates Thos. Jeroms, Thos. Gilbert, Amos Rose, and Thos. Gould (not on the Co. rolls above), of the 6th Co. ; Amos Fuller, of the 8th Co. ; and William Crane, of Wethersfield, of the 9th Co. Respecting the latter, his mother, Lydia Crane, states in a petition that she had three sons in the service in 1775. The eldest (name not given) died in camp; the second (probably Joseph Crane, 9'h Co.) returned; and the third, the above William Crane, who had enlisted in Chester's Co. and fought at Bunker Hill, left his regiment about Nov. 30. supposing his time out, but being taking down with fever on the war, wandered in his delirium to Leicester, Mass., and died there.

1 The record does not show that Experience Storrs was made full Colonel after July when Gen. Putnam, under the new Continental plan, ceased to command the regiment. The promotion of Durkce from Major to Lieut. -Col. would imply that Storrs was also promoted.

NOTE ON BUNKER HILL.
number of Connecticut troops present at this engagement was about four hundred. As far as letters and meagre records show they were detailed as follows : On the evening of June 16, 75, a body of one thousand men from the Massachusetts and Connecticut regiments around Cambridge, under the immediate command of Col. Prescott, was ordered to Charlestowu Neck to fortify Bunker's (Breed's) Hill. Of this number two hundred were from Conn, under the command of Capt. Knowltou, the detach ment being made up of details of one subaltern officer and about thirty men from companies in Putnam's and Spencer's regiments. Lt.-Col. Storrs, of Putnam's, states that he sent from his company, " Lieut. Dana, Serjt. Fuller, Corp. Webb, and 28 Privates." Capt. Chester, of Spencer's, states that thirty-one went from his company, probably under Lieut, Stephen Goodrich. Putnam's own company was represented by Lieut. Grosvenor and thirty men.
Prescott's command, working all night, completed a redoubt which threatened the British shipping. Lord Howe determined to drive the "rebels" from it, and the battle of Bunker Hill followed, .Tune 17. During the progress of the action, Captain Knowlton and the Connecticut men, with others, were sent to the left where they posted themselves behind a stone wall and inflicted heavy loss upon the enemy. Reinforcements from the American camp arrived both before and during the battle. Among these were the whole or portions of at least three companies of Connecticut troops. Captain Chester reached the stone wall with the rest of his company, perhaps sixty men, and Captains Clark and Coit, of Parsons' regiment, also arrived. These with the two hundred detailed the evening before would make about four hundred as Connecticut's representation at the battle.
Among the Connecticut officers mentioned as present in the action were Gen. Putnam, in general command. Major Durkce, Captains Chester, Clark, Coit, Lieuts. Dana, Keyes, Hide, Webb, Grosveuor, Bingham (of Norwich), and Ensigns Hill and Bill (of Lebanon). A few of the men's names are also reported, namely : Roger Fox, William Checney, Asahel Lyon, Benjamin Rist, Samuel Ashbo, Gershom Smith, Matthew Cuminings, Daniel Memory — killed ; Philip Johnston, Wilson Rowlandson, Lawrence Sullivan, William Robinson, Benjamin Ross — prisoners; Gershom Clark, of Lebanon, wounded; James Law, of Lebanon — right arm broken; John Arnold, Ebenezer Clark, Elijah Abbe, William Clark, Beriah Geer, Nathan Richardson, William Watrous.^Syl- vanus Snow, William Moore, John Wampee, and Timothy Bugbee — lost their guns in the fight. As to losses, one account gives fourteen killed and thirty wounded among the Connecticut men. Dr. Philip Turner is mentioned as " attend* wounded after Charlestown Battle." Lawrence Sullivan, prisoner, was released Feb. 24, 76. William Crane, of Wethersfield, Chester's Co., was in the action.
Lieut. -Col. Storrs makes the following entry in his diary (MSS.) June 17, the day of the battle:
"At sunrise this morning a fire began from y" ships, but moderate. About 10 went down to y Hill to Genl. Putnam's Post, who has y command. Some shot whistled around us. Tarried there a spell and Returned to have my company in readiness to relieve them —
lars did not come off from Bunker's Hill but have taken possession of the Intrenchments and our People make a Stand on Winter Hill and we immediately went to entrenching. Flung up by morning an entrenchment about 1(10 feet square. Done principally by our Reg
iment under Putnam's directions. Had but little sleep the night."
FOURTH REGIMENT-COL HINMAN'S-1775.
[Raised on the first call for troops, April-May, 1775, and recruited mainly in Litchfield County. Upon the surprise of Ft Ticon- deroga, May 10, Gov. Trumbull ordered this regiment to march as soon as possible to secure that post and Crown Point against recapture A request to this effect was also made by the Continental Congress. The regiment reached Ticonderoga in June and Col Hinman assumed command until the arrival of Gen. Schuyler. It took part in the operations of the Northern Department until expiration of term of service Dec., 1775. Regiment suffered much from sickness, and many men were mustered out in Oct. -Nov., 1775.]
