INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Berwick is destiueil to be a place of historical interest. 
 The mimber of persons tracing their family lines within its 
 limits is surpiising, and it will not be deemed presumptuous to 
 say, that there is hai'dly a person of ancient American descent 
 in New England, who does not include in his ancestry the name 
 of some settler or early resident of the original town of this 
 name. To aid those who are making historical and genealogi- 
 cal enquiries, this list of Revolutionary soldiers has been pre- 
 pared from the town records. A tribute to the citizen soldiers 
 of Berwick is the following: "To their everlasting honor be it 
 said that they have furnished as many men, according to their 
 number of inhabitants, as any town in the country. There are 
 but a few ancient homesteads in the town, that are not honored 
 by the grave of some Revolutionary soldier." 
 
 During the Revolution two full companies were raised in 
 Berwick. They were commanded by Captain Philip Hubbard 
 and Daniel Wood. C<ip(ain Wood was soon after promoted to 
 Major, and Ebenezer Sullivan, a brother of General John, suc- 
 ceeded him in command. More than one hundred from the 
 two companies were minute men, who were enlisted May 5, 
 177"), and remained in the army throughout the entire struggle. 
 The town sent sixteen soldiers to Dorchester Heights. 
 
 The spirit of the times is well illustrated by a few short ex- 
 tracts from the town books. Major Ichabod Goodwin, Junior^ 
 was sent as the first delegate to the Provincial Congress and by 
 him was presented the following petition : 
 
 "To the Honorable, the Delegates of the Colony of Mas- 
 sachusetts Bay in Provincial Congress at Watertown convened : 
 
The petition of tlie Freeholders and Inhabitants of the town of 
 Berwick in the county of York in town meeting convened hum- 
 bly showeth : That the harbors of York and Kittery within the 
 said county lie open to our now known enemies and the lives 
 and properties of the inhabitants thei'eof and the neighboring 
 Towns along the sea coast exposed to the ravages and depreda- 
 tions of the enemy and the remaining part of the inhabitants of 
 this and the neighboring Towns labor under the disagreeable 
 situation for a scant of arms and ammunition, of being incapa- 
 ble to defend themselves, wives, children and properties should 
 a descent be made by the King's troops on this coast, which 
 they have the greatest reason to fear will inevitably be the 
 cost. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray this Honorable 
 House in their great wisdom to take the premises into consid- 
 eration and that they would dispatch one or more of the com- 
 panies in the service of the Colony in order to guard and defend 
 this coast and enable them by raising more troops in the service 
 of the Colony in some measure to defend themselves. Berwick, 
 May 31, 1775." 
 
 A later communication reads as follows: "The melan- 
 choly state of this Province, of which this town is a part, calls 
 upon us, the inhabitants, to declare our sentiments and show 
 how they agree with those of our brethren in this and the 
 neighboring colonies of North America, relating to the impro- 
 prieties of the Parliament of Great Britain in taxing North 
 America. But the distance we are from the metropolis of this 
 Province, and the little acquaintance we have with the nature 
 of the dispute, renders it needless for us to attempt to say much 
 upon the subject ; yet as the cause is general we are in duty 
 bound to declare our sentiments upon this important dispute, 
 and so far as we understand it we join with our brothers in this 
 and the neighboring colonies in opposing the operation of those 
 late acts of the British Parliament subjecting any article sent 
 here from Great Britain to pay a duty for raising a revenue iu 
 North America, more especially that relative to East India 
 teas, which we apprehend is unrighteous and unconstitutional, 
 
 4 
 
and has a direct tendency to destroy this and all other colonies 
 of North America ; and if the East India Company are 
 permitted to send their teas and vend them here whilst they are 
 subject to a duty to be paid in this Province, it will fully 
 complete our ruin, and that speedily. We acknowledge and 
 profess true and faithful allegiance to our faithful sovereign, 
 King George the Third, and are willing at all times to risk our 
 lives and fortunes in defence of his person and his family, but 
 at the same time must earnestly contend for those rights and 
 liberties we are entitled to by the laws of God, Nature, and the 
 Constitution of this Province. Therefore, Resolved, That no 
 power on earth hath any just right to impose taxes upon us but 
 the great and general Court of this Province, and all others are 
 unconstitutional and not to be submitted to. That the East 
 India Company sending their teas and vending them subject to 
 a duty to be paid here to raise a revenue, is a high infringe- 
 ment upon the rights and liberties of this people, and has 
 a direct tendency to complete our ruin. That we will at all 
 times join with our brethren in all legal methods in opposing 
 tbe East India Company in sending their teas here subject to a 
 duty- That the thanks of this town be presented to the people 
 of this and the neighboring colonies for their steady and 
 resolute conduct in opposing the landing of tbe teas sent by ttie 
 East India Company, and that we will at all times and by all 
 legal and constitutional measures assist to the utmost of our 
 power in opposing such impositions. That the thanks of this 
 town be presented to the town of Boston for their timely notice 
 sent to this town of their proceedings in town meeting relative 
 to the East India Company sending their teas; asking the favor 
 that upon like occasion they will again do the same, wishing 
 that a union of sentiment may take place in this and every 
 colony in North America, and that the proceedings of this 
 meeting be recorded and a copy sent to the Committee of 
 Correspondence in the town of Boston." 
 
 July 1, 1776, the town instructed their representative that, 
 "should the Honorable Congress for the safety of the colonies 
 
declare themselves independent of Great Britain, we, the 
 inhabitants of Berwick, will solemnly engage with our lives and 
 fortunes to support them in the measure." 
 
 Berwick asked for a form of government that might "be 
 most easy and plain to be understood by people of all denomi- 
 nations whereby a line may be drawn that the Rulers and the 
 Ruled may know their duty and that Tyranny on the one hand 
 and Anarchy on the other hand may be avoided as much as 
 possible." 
 
 Such were the sentiments of those who staked their lives 
 and px'operties in a struggle for liberty. Some of those who 
 enlisted had seen actual service in Indian warfare and at the 
 siege of Louisburg. At the beginning of the war all militia in 
 town was mustered and an inventory taken of the arms and 
 ammunition. Several times during the Revolution horsemen 
 were sent to Andover, Massachusetts, for lead. Under the 
 date of April 23, 1776, appears an order "to Freathy Spencer 
 for twelve shillings, it being for his time a Running Bullets for 
 this town;" a later order to John Abbott was for one day's 
 work "running Bawls." Money was lavishly contributed by 
 all patriots, both young and old, for soldiers' food, clothing 
 and blankets. The enlisting took place at private houses. 
 Jacob Shorey's house was used for this purpose in 1777. 
 
 The town order book, from which the names of the sol- 
 diers are taken, is very ancient and uninviting in appearance ; 
 much of the writing is becoming illegible ; many of its pages 
 are soiled and worn. 
 
 In 1777 there were frequent calls for men for three years 
 or during the war. This town's quota was thirty-five. Twenty- 
 six names of those actually enrolled in the service are given 
 here, and it would appear that the other nine were never sup- 
 plied, on account, perhaps, of the large number already enlisted 
 for shorter terms. Those who could not join for the whole 
 time would enter the service for eight months. Captain Thomas 
 Hodsdon's company served at Peekskill for this period, their 
 time expiring January 1, 1778. There was a call for men to 
 
serve eight months, from April, 1778, 1o January 1, 1779, "to 
 guard the passes of the Hudson." At the same time was a de- 
 mand for soldiers to serve nine mouths in the resrular army at 
 Providence. In 1779 there was an appeal for volunteers to 
 ser\''e nine months at Springfield or six months at Providence 
 until January 1, 1780. The later service is divided into two 
 terms, one for six months "to the westward" (West Point and 
 Peekskill), and one for three months 'Mo the eastward" (Cam- 
 den and Falmouth), until January 1, 1781. 
 
 Captain Philip Hubbard's company fought at Bunker Hill. 
 Other Berwick men were in the expedition through northern 
 Maine to Quebec. Some were at Valley Forge, at Springfield, 
 Providence, West Point, Peekskill ; others at Camden and 
 Falmouth to protect the shipping. Many were in the hardest 
 battles of the war. 
 
 The home of Captain Thomas Hodsdon was the house now 
 occupied as the Berwick town farm; Captain Samuel Grant 
 lived near Conway Junction, in what is now South Berwick ; 
 Captain William Rogers lived near Doughty's Falls, in North 
 Berwick. The name of Sullivan is better known than that of 
 Berwick itself, and needs no comment here.
