Y. Vi J. B. LYON COMPANY, PRINTERS 1913 Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirteen By FREDERIC GREGORY MATHER In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington INTRODUCTION The late Mr. Berthold Fernow was the Archivist, or custodian, of the Original Documents relating to the history of the Province and State of New York. His office was held under the direction of the Board of Regents of the University. Down to the year 1882, but little had been done in the way of publishing the Documents relating to the Revolutionary War. Indeed, there was no printed information as to the contents of those Documents. In this respect the State of New York was far behind her neighbors. But, with the Centennial of 1776, there came a revival of the Revolutionary spirit; and New York shared in this, along with the other States which succeeded to the 13 original Colonies. So, in the year first named above, the Board directed Mr. Fernow to examine the MS. Records, and to cull therefrom all items relative to the Military establishment during the War. In 1887, the results of this work were pub lished^ a quarto entitled: "Vol. 1 of New York State Archives — New York in the Revolution." The editor drew upon the Proceedings of the Pro vincial Congress, the Committee of Safety and the Convention of New York; quoted liberally from the " Miscellaneous Papers," the " Assembly Papers " and other Original Documents in preparing the New York Line of the Con tinental Army; and provided an Alphabetical Roster of the State Troops. The work was well done; but it had the serious defect of three separate Indexes, instead of one General Index covering the whole. During the progress of Mr. Fernow's work I was a resident of Albany. I made frequent visits to his office, took part in his investigations, and felt that I was of some value to him. The office was in the South-East corner of the third floor of the State Building, on Eagle St. On the same floor, in the North- West corner, there was a room which had been, and still is, used for storage purposes by the State Comptroller whose main offices are on the first floor. At that time neither Mr. Fernow, nor I, nor any one else, knew that the store-room contained Revolutionary War Documents quite as impor tant as any which were passing through our hands. Nor did I dream that, more than ten years later, I should be doing for those yet undiscovered papers what Mr". Fernow was then doing for the papers which were under his control. The new Documents were finally discovered when Hon. James A. Roberts was Comptroller. They consisted, mainly, of the receipts of soldiers for their pay, with an occasional pay-roll. These Documents were in the care of the Comptroller because they were vouchers for money paid out by the Auditor-General, the predecessor of the Comptroller as the financial agent of the State. (Pages 134-137) Mr. Roberts at once realized the value of the papers; and he secured, the services of Col. Charles O. Shephard to arrange and classify them. Col. Shephard prepared about 10 Folio Volumes of the " Revolutionary War MSS.," with a card Index to the same; and he found that the State should be credited with 41,633 soldiers, instead of the 17,781 allowed by Gen. Knox at the end of the War. He had not finished his inquiry when the Legislature demanded something in the way of a book to show for the appropriation. Of course the demand had to be considered, or there would have been no funds for continuing the work. Therefore, in 1897, the First'Edition of " New York in the Revolution, as Colony and State " was printed. It was incomplete as to the papers which had been looked over; and it had no Index. At this point, Col. Shephard had other engagements which made it impos sible for him to continue the work. Mr. Roberts then called upon me to continue and to finish it. Fearing that some papers had been overlooked, I explored every corner of the store-room. In this way I secured all Docu ments which had a bearing on the War — whether or no they related to the service of the soldiers. The mounting of all Documents of this nature in (5) 6 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut a permanent form was continued until, at the end, there were 52 Volumes of the " MSS.," with a corresponding increase in the card Index. The number of soldiers to be credited to the State also arose to 51,972. (Page 1046) The Legislature having made further appropriations, a Second Edition of " New York in the Revolution, etc.," was published, under my editorship, in 1898. This contained much additional matter, and it was provided with a General Index. In regard to terms of service, it was not so full as Mr. Fernow's book; but it had a much longer list of soldiers, and the proof of their pay in their own signatures. It proved to be, and it still is, the standard evidence of service in the War by soldiers from the State of New York. As such, it continues to be the chief reliance of those who seek to join the several Patriotic Societies. In the old store-room there were also Documents of quite as much interest as the ones which were used in preparing the Second Edition; for they threw side-lights on the source of supplies, the confiscation of property and the general conduct of the War within the confines of the State. This material was so good that I suggested to Mr. Roberts the publication of another book which should give certain hitherto unknown phases of the struggle. With Mr. Roberts' hearty co-operation — ¦ and that of the successive Comptrollers William J. Morgan, Theodore P. Gilman and Erastus C. Knight — and aided by several Legislative appropriations, the work was continued until 1901, when " New York in the Revolution — Supplement " was published, of which I was also the editor. It is with much satisfaction that I look back to the four years which were spent in the production of the two books; for all of the statements therein were based upon Original Documents which had not been available down to that time. Many thousands of the books have been printed since they were first published — and without change, as the errors are negligible. For a number of years, the 52 Volumes of " Revolutionary MSS." and the card Index remained in the main office of the Comptroller. It was not a wise move to take them from a place of comparative safety to the more dangerous surroundings of the State Library. Yet this was done just before the fire of March 29, 1 911, destroyed the greater part of them. If, only, they had been allowed to stay where they were until the new Education Building was ready! It is fortunate that the more valuable contents of the Documents had been preserved in the two books named above; and that certain other of the Documents, in their entirety, are preserved in the work which I am now publishing. In order to do what I can to make up for the loss, my deposition will appear on Page 15, at the end of the Table of Contents. While preparing the " Supplement," I came across numerous bundles marked " Refugees from Long Island." For want of space, I was unable to print but a few of the papers, together with an imperfect list of the Refugees. ("Supplement," pp. 127-133) The Refugees sympathized with the American cause; and were not Tories, as is often supposed. The papers were Claims against the State of New York for expenses of removal to Connecticut, in 1776, just after the Battle of Long Island had left the Refugees at the mercy of the enemy. Three copies of all the Claims were made, and compared carefully with the originals. My first thought was to present the copies to certain Historical Societies. But, before doing this, I made further inquiry; and I found that very little had been written, or even recorded, as to those unfor tunate people. The several Historians of Long Island had mentioned them; but, in nearly every case, there was a quotation from the epigrammatic Notes of Henry Onderdonk, Jr. (Pages 986-988) The question then was: "where is the material on which Onderdonk drew for his Notes"? The State Library, at Albany, could not answer. I looked at the printed and MS. matter in the Library, dated 1776-1800; and what little was found appears in Appendixes A. and B. This was all, aside from the Claims, that the State of New York could furnish. To Appendix A. were added extracts from the Census of 1776 (taken just before the flight), which were of great value. The Claims were called, tentatively, Appendix C; for I had not thought, down to that time, of expanding the subject into a book. Before Appendix C. was closed, a number of missing parts were supplied by the Connecticut State Library and by individuals. Introduction Having exhausted New York, I turned to Connecticut. Three Auditors passed upon the Claims before they were paid. They were the Refugees: Thomas Dering, John Foster and Capt. Thomas Wickham; and their work was done at Middletown. Surely, that City must have something worth the trouble of getting it. But the office of the Town Clerk had nothing concerning the Refugees; and all the evidence that they had been there was in the shape of a few tomb-stones. I then appealed to Mr. Frank Farns- worth. Starr, the veteran Historian of Middletown, who replied: The statement you make as to a Board of Auditors acting on Claims against New York and holding meetings in Middletown is something entirely new to me, and I suspect to all other residents. I have no information about Thomas Dering or Thomas Wickham. Foster was not an uncommon name here down to 1800, and two or more John's lived here, so that nothing^ could probably be proved about your John. I never knew that the Committee of Inspection of any Town in Connecticut kept records, certainly the Middletown Committee did not. I was connected with the Town Clerk's office for 20 years; and twice packed up the papers for removal to other quarters and back again, making four different times that all the old papers were handled by me. I know of no records of any Justice of the Peace which would help you. This was discouraging. But, on visiting Hartford, the Connecticut His torical Society and the State Library furnished the Documents which are given in Appendixes D. E. and F. This additional matter was of great importance. It not only gave many new names, but it also — especially in Appendix E — ¦ showed the sufferings of the Refugees. The same Appendix gave the source of nearly all of the Onderdonk Notes. They are printed therein along with the full text of the Documents to which they relate. Meantime, a printed list of about 400 Refugees — ¦ all who appeared in Appendix C. — was sent to many parties in Connecticut and on Long Island. In half a year, the list numbered 600, with additional names coming in almost daily. The several Appendixes also swelled the number. So that now, at the close, we have a total of 1274 — of which 11 24 were from Long Island, and 150 from New York City. (Page 659) Many names were sent after the estimates on Page 187 had been printed. Consequently, the total number of the Refugees is probably in excess of the figures given on that Page. The total of the Refugees is reasonably accurate. A few names may have been omitted; but that is not the fault of this inquiry. The fault is with those who did not reply to the inquiry in the three separate lists of the Refugees which were posted, for several years, in many places in New York and in Con necticut. If the lists had been held open for 10 years longer, it is doubtful if a considerable number of new names would have been reported. The decision to print this book came after the discovery of many additional Refugees, and after the valuable material in Appendix E. had supplemented Appendix C. The first plan was to give a brief history of the Refugees, and their names; and to follow with the Appendixes A. to F. As much as this might have been done three years ago. But I was advised that more interest in the work would be taken if the ancestry, families, deeds and descendants of the Refugees were mentioned. Therefore, Part 2 — Bio graphical was prepared, of which more will be said later on. Out of the Biographies grew Appendix G. — -Military Service; for it would not be fair to the Refugees to state that they left Long Island, and deny them the credit of service in the Army elsewhere. This Appendix was enlarged so as to include the service of every one on Long Island, whether a Refugee or not, just before, and during, the Battle of Long Island which ended all active operations in that quarter. So that Appendix G. is the first attempt to group, in one record, all the Militia of Long Island. The Biographies are also responsible for the first part of Appendix H., The Associations. Here we have lists of all the signers, and those who refused to sign, on Long Island; but the " R " opposite a name, while that of a Refugee, does not always show that he was the Refugee in the Biographies. (Page 1050) The rest of Appendix H. contains Miscellaneous Documents of much importance. _ In Appendix I. we have the Biographies of many prominent soldiers and civilians, not Refugees, who are mentioned in the book. For the convenience of the reader, as well as to keep the General Index within bounds, the same treat ment is applied to all Biographies, including the Refugees and those in Appendix I. The Index gives the Page on which the Biography may be found; and in that Biography will be found all references in the book which 8 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut are not given in the Index. The Biography thus serves as a special Index for each individual, respectively. Appendix J. carries the Illustrations and the Abbreviations. The Illustrations are: Portraits, 115; Autographs, 559; Houses, 77; Monuments, 8; Tomb-stones, 14; Public and Historical Build ings, 8; Fac-similies of Original Documents, 19; Maps, 21 ; Plans and Diagrams, 7; General Views, 15; Miscellaneous, 34; Ornamental Pieces, 9 — Total, 886. The General Index contains nearly 20,000 names. If all of the material in the Appendixes had been in hand from the beginning, a better arrangement of it could have been made. But some parts of it came so late that they had to be placed somewhat out of their order. It was impossible to re-arrange the material already in place, because it had been referred to many times on Pages which had been stereotyped. This trouble was minimized by building the book backward — that is, by per fecting the Appendixes first, as far as possible. In a word, the Appendixes are the foundation of the whole work, and without them there would be little of value. They should interest the average reader who might not care for the rest of the book. Even the given names in the General Index might serve to amuse other readers. On Page 17, it is stated, that this is not a History of the Revolutionary War. Chapters 1-6 give a brief outline so as to show the relative importance of the Battle of Long Island and the Loss of New York City which were responsible for the fact that there were Refugees. Certain little known phases of the War are described in Chapters 7-12. In Chapters 13-20 the history of the Refugees is given. Finally, Chapters 21-26, we trace the local conduct of the War on Long Island, in Connecticut and in Westchester County, N. Y. — wherein many of the Refugees took a prominent part. What is recorded in these Chapters and in the Appendixes may be the last word on the War, so far as Long Island is concerned. If anything, that is the historical scope of this work. Much additional matter might have been given had there not been a persistent desire not to stray from the text. Yet what is recorded between these covers shows such intense suffering and such real heroism, often in most dramatic situations, that some talent might well produce, what lias not been produced hitherto, the real Play of 1776. The hardest, and most exacting, work in this inquiry was done in preparing Part 2 — Biographical. This required the exchange of letters reaching into the thousands; and it caused delays of many months in the publication. In this effort, I had so many helpers that it would not be fair to call the roll lest some be omitted. All of them are quoted in the text, and the General Index shows where they are quoted. To all of them I extend my apprecia tion for what they have done. A few of my best correspondents passed away without seeing this book, in which they were intensely interested. But their work survives in these pages, and the Index shows what they did. Foremost among them was Hon. Henry P. Hedges, of Bridge Hampton, L. I., whom I consulted personally several times. He died just as I was about to interview him on some of the closing features of the work. Others on Long Island were: Mr. Charles R. Dayton, of East Hampton; Mr. James F. Young, of Manhasset; Rear Admiral Ebenezer S. Prime, of Huntington; Mr. Samuel O. Lee, of Huntington; and Mr. Oliver H. Perry, of Elmhurst. Elsewhere, there were: Hon. Horace Russell and Mr. John H. Wainwright, of New York City; Prof. James W. Moore, of Easton, Pa.; and Dr. Isaac H. Piatt, of Wallingford, Pa. The beginning of the biographical inquiry was most discouraging. The first " returns " came from Mr. Dayton who described the situation at East Hampton in these extracts from his numerous letters: — ¦ The main difficulty appears to be in getting anything from the descendants of these people. Very few of them have any family record as far back, and many not at all. It is surprising how few of them know whether their ancestors went away as Refugees. I am obliged to visit the cemetery to ascertain when they died, in order to know whether they came back at all. _ So little is known at this late day by their descendants (if they are descendants) that I can identify but very few of the names on your list as being from East Hampton. It is now 132 years since the battle of Long Island. Many of the persons you have as Refugees were doubtless from this place, but in the absence of family records, in most cases the inability of persons now living to tell whether they were at all related to the so called Refugees^ and even if they could, have no knowledge either from tradition, family records or otherwise, as to whether they were Refugees, or not, is why I could not do more. Introduction All I was able to do was to give the names on the list, that were here, and could have been Refugees, excluding, of course, those who died too early, or were born too late. You would be surprised to know how little the present generation know about their ancestors. The days for reverence for ancestral pride is past, except in very few instances. Why, I actually found an intelligent man the other day, 70 years old, who did not know the name of his grandfather. Even the Genealogy from which I draw is by no means complete. In some instances, only a part of the families are given. Many genealogies give only one name, and others just enough to trace the line of descent. Being familiar myself with the descendants of many of the names on your lists, I was able to get information (not from the descendants themselves, for that was impossible in regard to them) but from their associates or connections with others, which a stranger could not obtain. The absence of dates of birth and death, the perpetua tion of the same name through successive generations, made it exceedingly difficult to identify any name on the list with the same name in the Genealogy, and it was only by a diligent search in the Town_ Records and _ Church records that it could be done, and even in that case it was often impossible, owing to the frequent omissions, and the repetition of the same name. Another correspondent gave the following as an example of the difficulties which beset her: When I asked information from a near relative, he told me that he could not get up the enthusiasm necessary to enable him to assist in my " genealogical boom," as he termed it; that we are all children of God who has us duly entered and accounted for on his Great Book, etc. He then gave me a lecture, from his stand-point of " republican simplicity " and pious indifference to earthly affairs, upon genealogical matters generally, and their vanity. He endeavored to convince me that my labor was neither Godly, commendable nor necessary; and that, consequently, his chances, he being indifferent to such mundane affairs, were much better than mine for an agreeable hereafter. Still another correspondent — ¦ we will call him Baynes — found fault with the spelling of the name in his immediate family. He wrote in this way: Long years ago my cousin Stratton came to me and said that the spelling of our name, Baines, was all wrong; that he had looked it up in books, and it should be Baynes. I told him that he was wrong. But, unfortunately for all of us, he persuaded me, and some of my brothers and sisters, and all of his father's family, to make the change. Afterward, when he was an old man, he came to me, regretted the mistake that he had made and said that he had changed back to Baines, and so had almost everybody whom he had persuaded to change to Baynes. He wanted me to change back to Baines ; but I told him my name was recorded as Baynes in the office of the Town Clerk, and I could not do it. " But," he said, " your sons have changed back to Baines." " Let them spell the name anyway they like," I replied, " as long as they don't disgrace it. But I won't change." His was not the only family in which the name was spelled variously; sometimes by the individual, more often by the one recording it. Thus we have: Curwin, for Corwin; Hoel, for Howell; Udall and Woodle, for Woodhull; Hulse, for Halsey; Parsons, for Pierson; Cupper, for Cooper; and Tillenness, for Tillinghast. Then, there was the controversy, not yet settled, as to the final " g " in Ailing, Conkling, Griffing &c; and the final " s " in Youngs. There was much confusion among the given names, also. Joyce stood for Rejoice; Scena, for Asenath; and Deziah, for Desire. It took some time to translate Rich Shary into Capt. Recompence Sherrill. In the end, nearly all of these obstacles were overcome by appealing to those who were best informed as to their respective families. As a rule, the correspondents gave full and intelligent replies to the in quiries. If anything, the average of them sent too much. In numerous cases, parties who had seen, or heard of, the printed lists sent the names of Refugees not on the lists; and, with them, much valuable information about their descendants. Two leading instances are Henry Brown, Jr. (Pages 280, 281) and Elias Cooper. (Page 311) A few of the correspondents held back until they saw that a book was in sight, and that their neighbors would be in it. Then they made haste to reply. One man, however, actually refused access to important documents which were in his attic. Duplicate work in the Biographies has been avoided, when possible. Printed Genealogies have been more often referred to than copied. In rare cases, the origin of the family in Europe is mentioned — .the line usually beginning with the emigrant ancestor to America. Differing opinions as to the origin of a family have been reconciled ; or, failing in that, all the opinions have been given, with the informants as authorities. Special attention and extra space have been given to families which have no printed Genealogy. Some of the Biographies, it will be noticed, are very scant. This might have been because there was no information to be had; or because the des cendants did not reply to the appeal; or because the reply came too late. 10 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Of course, many prominent families on Long Island do not appear in the Biographies because they had no representative among the Refugees. The biographical inquiry often helped itself in unexpected ways. A remark, dropped by Mr. William Higgins Conkling (Page 305), identified four Conkling brothers who were Refugees; and when Mr. Conkling was asked for his Higgins line, he ran it back to Christian Higgins, a Refugee who had been elusive down to that time. A chance expression, made by a boy who accompanied him, proved that a certain man was a Refugee as against the statements of all his descendants that he was not. More important than all, the biographical inquiry put scattered branches of some families in com munication, and introduced many interested parties to others of whose existence they did not know._ The case of Alathea Gildersleeve is in evidence. On Pages 884 and 885 it is stated that, on March 28, 1780, she, with her child, was allowed to return to Long Island. She was unknown to the Gilder sleeve descendants. After some inquiry, it was found that the Chatham — Portland, Conn., Church Records stated that, as Alathea Overton, she married Henry Gildersleeve on Jan. 29, 1778, and that both were from Long Island. The Overton descendents were not aware of the marriage. Then the Gildersleeve Records informed that Henry, son of a Refugee and brother of two others, was born in 1755 and died Nov. 26, 1779. Thus Henry was himself a Refugee, and Alathea was his Widow. What became of her after she returned to Long Island? The Mattituck Church Records stated that she married Jonathan Tuthill on April 27, 1780, only a few days after her return. Inquiry of the Tuthill descendants then brought out the names of her Tuthill children. (Pages 360, 361, 488, 612) Thus the brief notice of a Widow, but 25 years of age, ended in clearing a mystery in three families. The General Index, too, was increased by about 30 names. Among those who saw certain proofs of this work, some objected to the very free use of punctuation marks. But it must be remembered that printers and writers differ as to the rule. So that I am entitled to decide upon my own rule — • which is, that it is better to have too much punctua tion than too little. Sentences of short, or moderate, length are preferable to the long and involved sentences of the late Hon. William M. Evarts or the celebrated 100-line sentence in Victor Hugo's " Les Miserables." The abundant use of Capital letters, herein, has been mentioned. Here, again, there is a reason; for all of the nouns, and many of the adjectives, in the Original Documents began with capitals. This book should have been written 100 years ago while many of the Refugees, or at least their children, were still alive. It is hard to obtain satisfactory results in dealing with great-grand children. Moreover, many documents have been lost, or destroyed, in the meantime. So that, while others, from Hon. Silas Wood down, might have written the book, they had little incentive to do so. The trouble was that they did not have enough of a foundation on which to build. Appendix C. gave that foundation; and, as I had the only copies, it seemed to devolve upon me to produce the book. There have been many delays which have doubled the time taken, the size of the book and its cost. But the delays have perfected the work, and they have made it more valuable. As I close these pages, I once more look out upon my oft-time inspiration. From the windows of my study I see, but two miles away, Shippan Point whence Tallmadge made his raids over to Long Island. Across the Sound, six miles away, I see the North shore of the Island from Lloyd's Neck to Setauket. And then I live over again the life I have been living with the Refugees. Their sorrowings and their sufferings are over. May they rest in peace. Stamford, Conn., August n, 1913.

Washington now had rather more than the 20,372 men and officers ordered by the Continental Congress, in November, 1775, as the size of the Army to invest Boston. He was also well supplied with arms and am munition; and the Spring of 1776 was his opportunity. By this time, the enemy had been reinforced; and, more effectively, by the ar rival of Lord Richard Howe (Ap. I. 6), elder brother of Gen. William Howe, and his Fleet. By a strange, and fatal, oversight the Howes had failed to fortify the Heights The Siege of Boston (From Ridpath's " History of the United States ") Chapter Two — Boston to New York 27 of Dorchester and Roxbury which commanded both the City and the harbor of Boston. From the beginning, Washington had planned to occupy those Heights ; but he was not prepared until March 3 and 4. His preparations were made so secretly that the enemy was not aware of the occupation until it had become a fact. The Howes prepared for an attack; but a storm intervened, and the Americans were well intrenched before it was over. The British position was so dangerous that the Howes resolved to move. The Evacuation took place on Mar. 17, there being a tacit agreement that the Fleet would spare the City if Washing ton would spare the Fleet. The latter sailed for Halifax; and Washington occupied Boston on the following day. * CONDITIONS ON LONG ISLAND Early in the Summer of 1775, with Boston as their base, many British ships of War made a rendezvous of Gardiner's Bay. The Eastern end of Long Island, in consequence, suffered from preda tory excursions after stock and other supplies. At that time, Gen. David Wooster (Ap. I. 15), encamped at Harlem with his Con necticut Militia, sent parties to stop the marauders on Long Is land. On July 5, the people of East Hampton represented to the New York Provincial Congress that they had not less than 2000 cattle, and 3000 or 4000 sheep on Montauk, exposed to the enemy; and they requested that Troops, especially Capt. John Hulbert's Company, should be stationed there for protection. On the same date, and probably a part of the same representation, Burnet Miller, Chairman of the Committees of East Hampton and Southampton, wrote to the Congress asking for Troops to prevent the taking of stock from Shelter Island, Plum Island and Gardiner's Island. (Jour, and Proceedings of Cong. Also Thompson's " Long Island," 1. 197) Hon. Henry P Hedges stated that about the year 1850 he had the Correspondence and Journal of Capt. John Hulbert from Samuel L'Hommedieu; and read and returned them to him. Mr. L'Hommedieu loaned the papers to his nephew, Samuel L. Gard iner; and, in New York City, they were taken from Mr. Gardiner's hat and disappeared, perhaps forever. From the Journal and letters, Judge Hedges learned that Capt. Hulbert's Company on Montauk was stationed at Shagwonnack; that it was supplied with arms, ammunition and provisions by the people of the Town through Burnet Miller and Stephen Hedges their Committee; and that on Sept. 7, 1775, the Companies having marched from Montauk, Capt. Hulbert and his men were supplied with guns and ammunition, and were afterward stationed at Fort Constitution. In July, 1775, the New York Provincial Congress allowed the Companies of Capt. Hulbert and Capt. Griffin to remain; and also permitted John Foster, of Southampton, to ship a cargo of live stock to the West Indies, to be exchanged for Military Stores. * See Frothingham's "Siege of Boston." 28 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut In August, information was given to the Congress, by Robert Hempstead of Southold, that 13 sail, eight of which were supposed to be ships of war, were seen cruising between Montauk and Fisher's Island; and that they finally anchored off Oyster Ponds (now Orient) . He stated that the people were destitute of powder, and prayed that measures might be taken to afford them a sup ply. On Aug. 18, the Congress recommended the removal of the cattle and sheep from Gardiner's Island and Plum Island; and, about this time, Gen. Gage's Fleet and Army took from Gard iner's Island and Fisher's Island 86 cattle, and between 2000 and 3000 sheep. On Aug. 22, William Smith, Esq., Chairman of the Suffolk County Committee (met for the purpose of concerting measures to remove the stock from Gardiner's and Plum Islands), in his letter of that date, said that an officer of the Ministerial Fleet had informed Col. Gardiner that they should come again, with a force sufficient to take the stock from Long Island. Ad dressing the Congress, on the same date, he described the danger to property if the Troops of Gen. Wooster should be removed. On Aug. 27, Gen. Wooster, writing from Oyster Ponds, recom mended to the Congress, to keep a good guard over Queens County, as he supposed the enemy designed to get stock from that part of the Island. (Jour, and Proceedings of Cong. Also Thomp son's " Long Island," 1. 197, 198) RESISTING THE INVADERS While anticipating visits from the British Fleet, similar to those at the Eastern end of Long Island, in 1775, the New York Pro vincial Congress, on Feb. 15, 1776, received a letter from Dr. Samuel Thompson, stating that he had made surveys of the harbors of Setauket and Stony Brook. (Ap. A. 1) In March, when the Fleet of the enemy was expected, Capt. Jeremiah Rogers was hired to keep a lookout at Southampton. This he did for in days. (Ap. A. 34) On Mar. 4, the Congress, being " apprehensive that the Minis terial Army in Boston may attempt to land in this Colony in a short time," sent Circular Letters to the several Colonels of the Minute Men and Militia, from Albany to the Southward, order ing them to hold their respective Regiments in readiness to march on the first notice of an invasion. The Colonels were urged to lose no time in completing the Minute Regiments. (Ap. A. 1) On Apr. 3, it was stated that, in consideration of the defenceless state of the Eastern part of Suffolk County, the three Companies raised for the Continental Service were continued there. (Jour. Prov'l Cong. Also Onderdonk's " Suffolk Co.," p. 26) The Congress received a letter, on Apr. 10, from Rev. Samuel Buell, stating that the enemy's Fleet was off East Hampton; and Capt. Thomas Weeks also wrote that a Fleet had been seen near Hunt ington. (Ap. A. 1) On May 1, the Congress ordered an enrolment of all the males on Long Island capable of bearing arms, with the result that 1770 Chapter Two — Boston to New York 29 were named in Queens County; and 2000, in Suffolk County. It was also stated that the majority in Kings County and in Queens County still remained Loyalists. (Field's " Battle of Long Island") GUARDING THE STOCK The armed boats " Montgomery " and " Schuyler " lay at Fire Island Inlet, on June 19, 1776. (Onderdonk's "Queens Co.," p. 27) On June 28, the Congress ordered that a conference be had with Gen. Washington as to removing or securing the cattle and stock from those parts of Long Island and Staten Island which were most exposed to invasion. (Ap. A. 2) In July, Benjamin Kis- sam reported to the Congress in favor of driving to the interior, for safety, the stock belonging to the inhabitants of Queens County. (Onderdonk's " Queens Co.") On July 12, the Con vention assured the Committees of East Hampton and South ampton that the stock at Montauk would be protected. (Ap. A. 3) On July 20, the Convention estimated that there were, on Long Island, 100,000 horned cattle and a much larger number of sheep. On the same date, the Convention ordered that the stock be driven to the interior, leaving with the owners only such cows as were necessary ; that the stock should be destroyed rather than to have it captured by the enemy ; that a draft of one-fourth part of the Militia and Minute Men on Long Island, under Officers who were named, should enforce this order; and that Gen. Wash ington should be requested to purchase the stock for the Con tinental Army. A week later, Gen. Washington replied favor ably to the request. (Ap. A. 4, 5) The Convention, on Aug. 2, resolved that Aug. 27 next be a day of fasting and prayer, imploring Almighty God for assistance in establishing a form of Government for the perpetuation of the Civil and Religious Rights and Liberties of Mankind; and that three appropriate sermons should be preached before the Con vention on that day. (Proceedings of the Convention) There is no record of the observance of this day, as it was the date of the Battle of Long Island. On Aug. 10, the Convention learned that the inhabitants of Kings County had determined not to oppose the enemy. There upon, William Duer, Col. Henry Remsen, John Sloss Hobart and Col. Charles DeWitt were appointed a Committee, to go there; to secure the disaffected; to remove, or destroy, the grain; and, if necessary, to lay the whole country waste. (Proceedings) On Aug. 13, Col. John Sands (Refugees, L. I.) received money from the Convention to pay his men for guarding the stock in Queens County. (Ap. A. 5) On Aug. 24, the Convention ordered Gen. Nathaniel Woodhull (Refugees, L. I.), or in his absence, Lt. Col. Gilbert Potter (Refugees, L. I.), and the whole of the Queens County Militia to secure the stock in that County from the enemy. On the following day, it was ordered that the stock be driven to the East end of Hempstead Plain; and, on the 26th, word came that the enemy was shooting cattle on the Northern shore of the 30 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Island. (Ap. A. 6, 7) Capt. John Skidmore afterward received pay for the services of his Company in removing the stock from Queens County. (Ap. A. 23) On the date of the Battle of Long Island, Aug. 27, the Committee of Safety received word from Gen. Woodhull that he had driven the cattle well to the Eastward; whereupon a Committee was appointed to report upon the sale of the cattle. (Ap. A. 8, 10) On the next day, the Convention ordered Col. Josiah Smith and Col. Jeronimus Remsen to aid Gen. Woodhull in destroying all grain and stock which could not be removed to a place of safety. The Convention also called on the Governor of Connecticut for 1000 Troops to protect the in habitants and their stock. (Ap. A. 11, 12) But it was too late; for the enemy was already in possession of the Western end of the Island, and the stock was also theirs. Finally, on Sept. n, Brig. Gen. Oliver DeLancey, of the British forces, ordered all the cattle to be driven to Jamaica. (Onderdonk's " Suffolk Co.," p. 47) Thus, down to the Battle of Long Island, the chief effort was to preserve property. The Military preparations, on Long Island, are described in the next Chapter. NEW YORK THE OBJECTIVE POINT Fearing for the safety of New York, Washington had already, on Feb. 4, sent Gen. Charles Lee (Ap. I. 7) thither with 1500 men, as mentioned at the beginning of Chapter 3. On Mar. 18, directly after the Evacuation of Boston, Washington sent five Regiments, with Artillery, to New York by way of New London. About the same time, Sir Henry Clinton took a force to the Carolinas for the reduction of Charleston; but, being repulsed there, he came to New York in July. On his arrival, he found that Gen. Howe had preceded him, by several days, with the First Division of the British Army. (Chap. 3) There was no mistaking the design of the British — to capture New York, and make it the base of their future opera tions. Thus we have a series of events connected by a most interesting chain: the Militia from New England captured the cannon at Ticonderoga and Crown Point; the cannon drove the enemy from Boston; advancing to New York, the enemy drove the American Army from that City and from Long Island (Chap ters 3 and 4) ; and the loss of the City and of Long Island led to the escape of the American Refugees to Connecticut. DISTURBANCES IN THE CITY For many years it was accepted as a fact that the first blood of the Revolution was shed at the Boston Massacre, Mar. 5, 1770. But it is certain that, in the Battle of Golden Hill, fought in John St., New York City, on Jan. 18, 1770, the first blood was really shed. The cause of the conflict was an insignificant flag-pole which the Sons of Liberty strove to maintain; and the 16th Regu lars decreed should be cut down. (Clinton Pap., 1. 42-54) There was, also, a "tea-party," in the same City, on Apr. 22, 1774 Chapter Two — Boston to New York 3i Gravesaitl . .."-j; ¦"""'K ¦ From Johnston's " Campaign of 1776 Around New York and Brooklyn " 32 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut wherein the ship "London" was relieved of 18 chests of the obnoxious article; and the Sons of Liberty who did it were not disguised as Indians. Other outbreaks, of minor importance, occurred from time to time down to the appointment of the Committees of 51, 60 and 100, in 1774 and 1775. (Chap .13) The activity of those Commit tees caused Gov. William Tryon (Ap. I. 13) to take refuge on one of the British Ships in the harbor. On June 6, 1775, as the British Troops were leaving for Boston, on marching down Broad Street, Capt. MarinusWillett, JohnMorin Scott and a few of their associates among the Sons of Liberty, stopped the first cart, guarded by the soldiers, and loaded with the spare muskets of the force. All of the carts were thus seized; and the loads were deposited at John Street and Broadway, to be afterward used in arming New York's first Troops for the War. A tablet on the building at the North West corner of Broad and Beaver Streets commemorates the act. On Nov. 23, Capt. Isaac Sears, with his horsemen from Connecticut, destroyed the presses of James Rivington, the Tory printer, and took the type to New Haven. Col. Alexander McDougall was an active Son of Liberty. John Anderson was also printing his famous " broad sides," inciting the people to open hostility. The biographies of Anderson, McDougall, Sears, Willett and Scott will be found in " The Refugees from the City of New York." THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE It was July 9, 1776, when news of the signing of the Declaration, July 4, reached New York. The document was read before the American Troops on the Parade Ground, now the City Hall Park. At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Brigades were drawn up on their respective parades, while the in strument was read by the Brigade Commanders or their Aides. One of the Brigades was honored by the presence of the Commander- in-Chief. It was drawn up in a hollow square, within which Wash ington sat on horseback; while an Aide, in a clear voice, read the Declaration. " When it was con cluded," said an eye-witness, "three hearty cheers were given." A tablet commemorating the read ing has been placed on the City Hall. The Declaration was read before the Provincial Convention, at White Plains. The public read ing was ordered for July 18, in front of what was then the City Hall (later Federal Hall) in Wall Street. At the conclusion the Chapter Three — • The Battle of Long Island 33 Royal Coat of Arms was taken from the court room and burned. All of these happenings, it must be remembered, took place within cannon-shot of the enemy's ships in the harbor. After the reading of the Declaration, on July 9, a number of citizens attacked the leaden statue of George III (Ap. I. 4) which had been placed on the Bowling Green, in 1770. A part of the statue, with the pedestal, is now the property of the New York Historical Society; but the greater part was carted to Litchfield, Connecticut, where it was made into bullets. (Chap. 9) A tablet at No. 1 Broadway commemorates this event. In July, also, Capt. Daniel Dunscomb, by order of the Pro vincial Convention, took the window leads from the public build- Tearing Down the Statue of George III (From an old print in the Public Library, New York City) ings, Churches and many private houses. These were used for bullets in like manner. (Chap. 9) It is said that Washington took the telescope from Kings Col lege for the use of the Army. CHAPTER THREE — THE BATTLE OF LONG ISLAND Early in 1776, Gen. Charles Lee entered the City of New York with the Connecticut Regiments of Col. David Waterbury (Ap. I. 14) and Col. Andrew Ward. (Ap. I. 14) He had been delayed by the attitude of the Committee of Safety of the City which, at first, took the ground that no help on the defences of New York was needed from the outside. Lee called in consul tation Col. (William Alexander) Lord Stirling with his Regiment. 34 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Both Westchester County and Dutchess County sent reinforce ments. Lee having left for the South, the continuation of the work devolved upon Stirling. He had further assistance from the City Militia under Colonels John Lasher and William Heyer; and from New Jersey. On Apr. 4, Gen. Putnam took charge ; and, soon afterward, Washington inspected and approved the progress of the work, in the meantime, other Connecticut Troops, under Col. Gold Selleck Silliman (Ap. I. n), relieved the Militia under Ward and Waterbury ; and the whole force at work on the defences was increased. PREPARATIONS IN NEW YORK In New York, during the summer, these works were erected at, or near, the localities known by their modern names: Jersey Battery, Reade Street, West of Greenwich; Grenadier Battery, Washington and Harrison Streets, North River; McDougall's Battery, Rector Street, East of Greenwich; Whitehall Battery, Whitehall dock, East River; Waterbury 's Battery, on the dock near Catharine and Cherry Streets; Spencer's Redoubt, probably East of Henry Street, from which a line of intrenchments extended to a battery near Broome and Pitt Streets; Bayard's Hill Re doubt, Grand and Mulberry Streets, West of the Bowery; Thomp son's Battery, at Horn's Hook. Paulus Hook, in Jersey City, was also fortified. Old Fort George, a relic of the Dutch regime, stood Eastof White hall Street, and South of Battery Place. As the waters of the harbor almost washed the walls, it was of no value against a hostile Fleet. For its protection, the Grand Battery was erected to the Northward. Certain West Indiamen, at the wharves, were despoiled of their cargoes of mahogany logs. Barricades were erected about the present City Hall Park; and in the Streets known to-day as Broadway, Vesey, Barclay, Murray, Beekman, Centre, Frankfort and Chatham. In addition to these defences a number of batteries and redoubts extended for several miles beyond the City. No guns were mounted on them, as they were evidently for use in a retreat. In the Northern part of the Island, close by the Hudson, Fort Washington was erected. It stood between 181st Street and 1 86th Street; and parts of it are still visible, although portions of the site have been covered by modern buildings. It was a strong earthwork, of irregular form, containing a citadel which protected the magazine. Directly across the Hudson, on the New Jersey shore, Fort Lee was erected. On the high ground West of the Har lem River, at the end of Tenth Avenue, and extending from i92d Street to 196th Street, are the remains of Fort George, an extensive earthwork begun by the Americans and finished by the British. The British ships in the harbor were continually harried by Col. Benj. Tucker and his "Mosquito Fleet," consisting of schoon ers, sloops, whale-boats, row-galleys and fishing smacks — an outfit of which more is learned in Chapters 23 to 26. Chapter Three — The Battle of Long Island 3 5 The Battle of Long Island — From an Old Print 36 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut In July, 1776, the Convention voted ,£5,000 to Robert R. Living ston, Robert Yates, Christopher Tappen, John Jay, William Pauld ing and Gilbert Livingston, as "a Secret Committee to obstruct the Navigation of the Hudson River." The Committee met in New York City, June 19, to Aug. 17. In September, of that year, several Ships were sunk near Fort Washington, by order of the Commander-in-Chief. (Rev'y MSS., N.Y. State Lib'y. 51. 18,22) The Convention, on Aug. 22, paid Zebediah Mills to remove the Military Stores from New York City to Westchester County; which Mills had accomplished by Aug. 25. He moved the Stores by boat to Tarrytown; and thence, by oxen, to White Plains, where they were placed in the store of Daniel Horton. (Same ref., 51. 29) PREPARATIONS ON LONG ISLAND Putnam, ably seconded by Gen. Greene, modified the plans of Lee for the defences in the vicinity of Brooklyn. A chain of works had been erected across the neck, from Wallabout Bay to Gowanus Marsh. A redoubt had been built on Gowanus Heights, or "Battery Hill," near the present Seventh Avenue and 19th Street. From South to North East, the five chief Fortifications were as follows : Fort Box, which gave protection from the Marsh; Fort Greene, 300 yards beyond, near Bond, State and Schermerhorn Streets, com manded the Jamaica highway; the Oblong Redoubt, at DeKalb and Hudson Avenues ; Fort Putnam, in Washington Park; a Redoubt at Cumberland Street, and Wil- loughby and Myrtle Avenues. f/i^i/J^, These works were protected by 'ditches, and connected by intrench ments. The woods had been cut away for a considerable distance, and the timber formed an abattis along the whole line of the defences. Within this line, and nearer the waters of the harbor, were: Fort Cobble Hill, near the corner of Court and Atlantic Streets; a Redoubt at Mill Dam, corner of DeGraw and Bond Streets; Fort Stirling, corner of Clark and Columbia Streets, which had been begun m March by Ward and completed by Greene. A Fort stood on Brooklyn Heights, near the present Hicks and Pierre- pont Streets. Governor's Island and Fort Defiance, on Red Hook, were considered by Putnam as strategic points; and they were heavily fortified. The works had so far progressed that they were manned on June 1 ; and the American Troops began their garrison duties. ^^/t^/^S/i Chapter Three — The Battle of Long Island 37 /yi^i /tfrfe^. Admiral Lord Richard Howe 38 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut By June 10, it is stated that on all the defences of New York and Brooklyn, there were 121 guns and 19 mortars, some of which had been brought from Ticonderoga and Crown Point. PLANS AND STRENGTH OF THE ENEMY Boston being no longer a base, the British re-cast their whole scheme of Military operations. With New York in their power, Howe expected to ascend the Hudson and meet Gen. Sir Guy Carleton who had already started from Canada. His route lay along the historic Champlain. By thus separating New England from the Western and Southern Provinces, or States, each locality might be beaten in detail. These operations were postponed, owing to the unsuccessful efforts of Clinton and Cornwallis (Ap. I. 3) in the Carolinas; and to the check of Carleton at the North. The operations were resumed in Burgoyne's Campaign of 1777. Gen. Howe arrived in the lower harbor, with several Ships, on June 25. The remainder of the Fleet from Halifax arrived five days later — 130 sail in all. Howe had intended to disem bark on Long Island, but the apparent strength of the American works led him to choose Staten Island. By July 15, Admiral Howe had arrived; and by Aug. 1, Clinton and Cornwallis arrived from the South. The British now had over 400 sail within strik ing distance of New York. By this time Howe had a well disciplined Army of 24,000 effec tive men — the total being over 31,000. Of these, about 8,ooo were Hessians and Waldeckers. Howe was Commander-in-Chief. Next to him were: Lt. Generals Clinton, Percy and Cornwallis; Maj. Generals Matthews, Robertson, Pigot, Grant, Jones, Vaughan and Agnew; and Brig. Generals Leslie, Cleveland, Smith and Ers- kine. (Ap. I. 4) THE OPPOSING FORCE The Continental Congress, on June 1, issued a call for rein forcements at New York and on the Canadian border. But the presence of the enemy in such large numbers caused another call to be issued — so that we find a total of about 28,500 Officers and men in the vicinity of New York before active engagements began. Of this total, only about 19,000 were effectives. According to Johnston's " Campaign of 1776 around New York, Sec," the several States, with a partial list of their Commanders, were represented as follows: Massachusetts, 7,300; Rhode Island, 800; Connecticut, 9,700; New Jersey, 1,500; Pennsylvania, 3,100; Delaware, 800; Maryland, 900; New York, 4,500. _ Under Washington, as Commander-in Chief, the several Divisions, each with its Major General, were constituted: Putnam Aide-de-Camp, Maj. Aaron Burr, Brig. Gen. James Clinton (Ap. I. 3), four Massachusetts Regiments; Brig. Gen. Scott, Brig Mai Nicholas Fish, the N. Y. City Regiments of Lasher and Malcom, and the State Regiments of Drake and Humphrey; Brig. Gen. Fellows, four Massa chusetts Regiments, including that of Glover (Ap. I. 5) . [A portion of Drake's Regiment served elsewhere, later. (Ap. G. 10)] Heath — Brig. Gen. Mifflin, two Pennsylvania Regiments, two Massa chusetts Regiments, and Ward, of Connecticut; Brig. Gen.

Lord Stirling, the Regiments of Smallwood, of Maryland, Haslet, of Delaware, and four Pennsylvania Regiments, including Atlee's; Brig. Gen. Alexander McDougall, his late Regiment and that of Ritzema (both from New York City), also those of Brewer and Charles Webb, the latter from Connecticut. Greene — Brig. Gen. Nixon, the Regiments of Hand, of Pennsylvania, Varnum and Hitchcock, of Rhode Island, and late Nixon's, Prescott (of Bunker Hill fame) and Little, of Massachusetts; Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Heard (Ap. I. 6), five New Jersey Regiments including those of Forman, Martin and Phillip Van Cortlandt; Brig. Gen. Oliver Wolcott (Ap. I. 15), the Connecticut Regiments of Thompson, Hinman, Pettibone, Cooke, Talcott, Chapman and Baldwin. To Nixon's Brigade should be added the Long Island Regiments of Smith and Remsen. Col. Knox brought his artillery from Massachusetts ; and Capt. Alexander Hamilton was present with his State Artillery. As McDougall, Hamilton, Scott, Fish, Stirling and Lasher were afterward Refugees from New York City; and as Smith was a Refugee from Long Island — more extended notices of them appear in Part Two of this work. In the Appendix to Drake's " Life of Knox " it is stated that the above named Troops were stationed as follows : Scott's Brigade in the city; Wadsworth's along the East River in the city; Parson's from the shipyards on the East River to Jones's Hill, and including one of the Redoubts to the West of it; Stirling's and McDougall's still further West, as a reserve near Bayard's Hill; Fellows, on the Hudson, from Green wich down to the " Glass House " about half way to Canal street; and James Clinton's from that point down to the " Furnace," opposite the Grenadier Battery. These Brigades, forming the Divisions of Putnam, Spencer and Sullivan, were retained in the city and its immediate vicinity. Of Heath's Division, Mifflin's Brigade was at Ft. Washington; and George Clinton's, at Kings Bridge. Greene's Division — Nixon's and Heard's Brigades — occu pied the Long Island front; except that Prescott's Regiment (now Thomas Nixon's) was on Governor's Island. PRELIMINARY EVENTS ON LONG ISLAND For many years some of 'the historians [of Long Island were not certain that Col. Josiah Smith's Regiment took part in the Battle. Onderdonk (" Suffolk Co.," p. 35) stated that he was not able to decide. Howell ("Southampton," pp. 69, 70) asserted that there were present not only Col. Smith's Regiment, but also the First Regiment, Col. William Floyd, and the second Regiment, Col. David Mulford. On the other hand, Hon. Henry P. Hedges Chapter Three — The Battle of Long Island 41 ("Bridge Hampton Cent'l Address," 1876, p. 14) made this state ment: Whether the regiment commanded by Col. Josiah Smith, marching to en gage in the battle of Long Island, reached the spot in time, is at least doubt ful, and whether they joined the American army in the retreat, is improbable. The weight of evidence is that their march was intercepted by the British forces. That defeat occurred before their arrival. Judge Hedges afterward stated ("Southampton Address," 1890, p. 35; "Bridge Hampton Address," 1910, p. 58. Also Note to the foregoing) : The latest research shows that the whole force of Eastern Long Island was engaged in the disastrous battle named from the Island whereon it was fought. * * * I have become satisfied that Col. Josiah Smith's Regi ment of Minute Men, or many of them, were engaged in the battle of Long Island. * * * The fact that some of them were in action at Brooklyn has been published and was proved by affidavits of old soldiers applying for Revolutionary pensions. One of them, living to be an old man, then fre quently described his standing as guard when Washington's forces retreated from New York City. At the time of Judge Hedges' first statement, there were not available certain documents which have come to light since. Many of these original papers, including the muster rolls of the Long Island Regiments, together with the Diary of Col. Smith, appear in Ap. G. In Ap. A. 4, the one fourth part of the Regi ment was stated to have been 124, on July 26, 1776. In the rooms of the Suffolk County Historical Society, at River- head, Long Island, may be found "A Return of Col. Josiah Smith's Regiment, Encamped on L. I., Aug. 17, 1776." These figures are given: "Staff officers, 2 ; Commissioned officers, 29; non-commis sioned officers, 43 ; fit for duty, 351 ; total in Regiment, 407 ; want ing to complete, 266." The Society has another Return, dated "Brookland, Aug. 24, 1776" — wherein a total of 514 appears, con tributed by these Captains : Rogers, 53; Piatt, 50; Coe, 37; Nos- trand, 28 ; Weeks, 37 ; Manee, 43 ; Strong, 51 ; Youngs, 41 ; Reevs, 53; Ludlam, 32; Mulford, 53; Clarkson, 36. One of Col. Smith's Captains, Jonathan Bayley, left a Note Book describing the Battle, which may be found in the sketch of Bayley among " The Refugees from L. I., to Conn." Wood (" First Settlements on L. I.," pp. 138, 139) states that these Officers from Long Island were within the American Lines at Brooklyn, August, 1776: Col. Josiah Smith, Col. Jeromus Remsen, Lt. Col. John Sands, Lt. Col. Nicholas Coven- hoven, Maj. Abraham Remsen and Maj. Richard Thome. Also Captains: John Wickes, Nathaniel Piatt, Selah Strong, Ezekiel Mulford, Paul Reeve, Benjamin Birdsall, David Laton, John W. Seaman, Daniel Rapelye and Andrew Onderdonk. These Officers were with Gen. Nathaniel Woodhull [near Hempstead], August 26-28: Suffolk County Troops— Maj. Jesse Brush, Capt. Alexan der Ketcham, Lt. Com. Jonah Wood, do.

Thomas Everit, Ens., 42 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Isaac Sebring; Queens County Troop of Horse — Capt. Daniel Whitehead, Lt. William Sacket." On Aug. 8, Col. Josiah Smith was ordered, by the Convention, to march all of his Levies to the vicinity of Gen. Nathaniel Greene's encampment, at the Western end of the Island; and to take his orders from Gen. Greene. On Aug. 2 1 , the Convention took measures to provide camp equipage and supplies. (Ap. A. 5) On Aug. 24, the Convention was considering the expediency of ordering the Regiments of Col. Smith from Suffolk County, and Col. Remsen from Kings and Queens Counties, to join Gen. Wood- hull's Brigade; but, two days later, a Committee reported that Gen. Washington had stated that he would issue an Order to that effect. (Proceedings of the Conv'n) On Aug. 26, the Convention ordered Gen. Nathaniel Woodhull ("Refugees from L. I. to Conn.") to take position at any point of advantage, and to call out all the Militia, if necessary, to protect the inhabitants in removing. On the day of the Battle of Long Island, Aug. 27, the Committee of Safety was informed that the Cannon and Ammunition, formerly at Southold, had been removed toSaybrook, Connecticut. (Ap. A. 7, 9) On Aug. 29, Col. Smith was ordered to remove his Regiment from Long Island to New York City. (Ap. A. 13) The British Troops, having landed to the East of Huntington, and carried off cattle and provisions, Dr. Gilbert Potter wrote from Huntington to Gen. Woodhull, on Aug. 26, apprising him of the fact. But before the letter reached him, at Jamaica, the disastrous Battle had been fought. (Henry C. Piatt's "Hunt ington Address," 1876) The story of the Long Island Militia after the Battle is con tinued in Chapter 18. ACTIVE HOSTILITIES COMMENCE Before the landing of the enemy in L. I. the point of attack could not be known, nor any satisfactory judgment formed of their intentions. It might be on Long Island, or Bergen, or directly on the city. (Washington to the Conti. Cong., Sept. 9, 1776) After months of preparation on both sides, the conflict began on the morning of Aug. 22, when 15,000 of the enemy, with 40 pieces of Artillery, were brought over from Staten Island to Long Island. Under cover of the Ships, they landed at Gravesend without opposition. At this point it is necessary to understand the topography of the Western end of Long Island. The theatre of the approaching conflict was, in the Eastern part, a plain extending from four to six miles to the Northward, and a greater distance to the East ward. About a mile from the shore of Gravesend Bay stood New Utrecht. A mile South East of New Utrecht, stood Grave send. From the latter, a road led through Flatlands to Flatbush, about three miles distant. These villages on the plain were separated from the American Fortifications (already described) Chapter Three — The Battle of Long Island 43 y^Ae?.- s-ss. « Chapter Three — The Battle of Long Island 49 In spite of the fact that the works had been reinforced after the Battle by the arrival of Glover, Mercer and others up to the strength of nearly 10,000 effective men, yet it was the unanimous vote of the Conference that the works should be abandoned, mainly because the enemy threatened to ascend the East River, at the rear. The ascent of the River might have been made in small boats; it was not practicable for the larger vessels of the British Fleet. Mr. Bergen makes this comment : The East River was not a River, but an arm of the Sea with fierce tides, at one end of which were the rocks and whirlpools of Hellgate, hardly navigable at that place at that time; and at the other end, Governors Island with Butter milk Channel not navigable at that time, and the tortuous Channel at the Battery very difficult to navigate. In that distance there were at least 26 reefs &c. The English Fleet did not attempt once to enter the East River. They were too well informed by their pilots and the boatmen of the Harbor to enter and risk complete disaster to their Fleet. The decision to retreat was made on Aug. 29th, two days after the Battle. McDougall and Glover, with his Gloucester fishermen, secured every possible kind of water conveyance. The cross ing to New York occupied all of that night. Mifflin covered the retreat by remaining at the works until the early morning of the 30th. By that time, under the screen of a heavy fog, and aided by friendly winds, the whole of the American Army had been landed in New York. (See Washington's letter to the Committee of Safety — Ap. H. 37) Historians of that day considered the retreat a masterly one. In our day, Fiske ("American Revolution") writes: This retreat has always been regarded as one of the most brilliant incidents of Washington's career, and it would certainly be hard to find a more striking 50 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut example of vigilance. Had Washington allowed himself to be cooped up on Brooklyn Heights, he would have been forced to surrender; and whate\"br was left of the war would have been a game played without queen, rook or bishop. From an English view-point, Trevelyan (" American Revolu tion ") says: To transport across a wide channel of salt water a great multitude of troops with all their baggage, military stores and cannon from out of the enemy's mouth in a short summer's night without even those who were retreating knowing anything of the matter till just before they embarked, required the conduct, the vigilance, the generalship of a Washington; and, if Fame does not clarion his praise for it, she is not impartial. It may be doubted whether any great national deliverance since the passage of the Red Sea has ever been more loudly acclaimed or more adequately celebrated than the master-stroke of energy, dexterity and caution by which Washington rescued his army and his -country. CHAPTER FOUR — THE LOSS OF NEW YORK CITY After the retreat from Long Island, the enemy at once occupied the entire Island, and retained it until the end of the War. Accord- New York City During the Revolutionary War — From an Old Print mg to Howe's report, he had taken 1097 Prisoners, 26 ordnance and considerable ammunition (American Archives — 5th Ser. 1. 1258). His own losses were trifling. Washington was now in a City which was not over friendly to the American cause. The batteries on Long Island, formerly his could be turned against him. The Ships of the enemy might land thousands within the City at any moment. He saw the danger — a flank movement on the mainland through Westchester Chapter Four— The Loss of New York City Si /TTT/Tsvu J/oCa^rud «jl: vr / ^^ii frfflflJilj ';¦'} Y^-MJ'm.m.

A combined attack by sea and land might then annihilate his Army. He had just saved his Army from one trap. Would he be able to escape from another ? THE CONFERENCE AT THE BILLOPP HOUSE At this juncture, there took place a romantic, somewhat humor ous and quite important Conference between Richard, Lord Vis count Howe, Vice Admiral of the White, and a Committee of the Continental Congress composed of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, afterward second President of the United States, and Edward Rutledge of South Carolina. The Conference was held, on Sept. 11, 1776, in the old Christopher Billopp House, which still stands near the water on Staten Island, about one half mile South of the Perth Amboy ferry in the Village of Tottenville. Although the house showed the effects of occupation by the British soldiers, yet Lord Howe had pre pared the large front room overlook ing the Kill Von Kull, with a carpet of moss and green sprigs; and here the Conference was held. Good cheer was also provided. Lord Howe, as a Commissioner from the King and his Privy Coun cil, came to America on the express stipulation that he might negotiate for Peace; and his brother, Gen. William Howe, was equally inter ested to bring about a settlement. Franklin had known Lord Howe in London; and when Howe referred to the monument to his brother which the Massachusetts Col ony had erected in Westminster Abbey, and stated that " if America was overwhelmed, he should lament its ruins like a brother's loss," Franklin replied " that he and his colleagues would do their utmost endeavors to save his Lordship from that mortification. ' ' The Conference was without any result. At the same time, it was important in that it was the only attempt, made on American soil, to come to some agreement whereby the War should end. THE AFFAIR AT Kip's BAY The Conference of Sept. n having failed, Washington and his Council decided to leave the lower City. The two Howes then began a campaign for the possession of New York. On Sept. 15, they landed a large force at Kip's Bay, on the East River near 34th Street. At that time, one Division of the Americans was at E.UTLEGE Franklin Adams Lord Howe The Conference of September ii, 1776, at the Billopp House — From the Painting by John Ward Dunsmore (See Ap. J.) 54 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut the Battery, under Putnam; and another at Harlem, under Wash ington. The Third Division was at, or near, Kip's Bay, under Douglas. Between Douglas and Putnam, were Silliman, Scott and Wadsworth. The feeble defence by the American Militia of Parsons and Fellows soon ended in a rout. Washington came across from Bloomingdale to Kip's Bay. The failure of Parsons and Fellows to oppose the landing of the enemy, and to make a stand against him, was a great disappoint ment to Washington ; not only that — the failure was responsible for the narrow escape of his Army from annihilation. Putnam re treated from the South along the highway to join the main Army. The American Troops, fleeing from Kip's Bay, came to the vicinity of the new Public Library where Washington tried in vain to re-form them. Silliman had joined Knox in the Bayard's Hill Fort; but this was abandoned by order of the Commander-in- Chief. The bearer of the order, Maj. Aaron Burr, then piloted the Troops across to the woods on the West side, so that the most of them arrived at the camp in Harlem. Large num bers of the Army with Putnam would have been captured if Howe had not tarried for half an hour at the house of Mrs. Robert Murray which stood near Lexington Avenue and 36th Street. A tablet marks the site of the Murray house. A tablet on the West Side of Broadway, between 43d and 44th Streets, also marks the spot where Washington, Putnam and other Officers met to stem the panic which had seized the Americans. That night the enemy held the City below 100th Street. The American Army was on Harlem Heights, save that Mifflin guarded the Kings Bridge road to cover the escape of any Americans who might take that route. BATTLE OF HARLEM HEIGHTS Harlem Heights, as then known, was West of Eighth Avenue and North of 125th Street. At Ninth (now Columbus) Avenue and 126th Street, was the " Point of Rocks," from which the ridge extended North along what is St. Nicholas Avenue; and another range extended West diagonally to the Hudson River. South of the high ground, at a distance nowhere more than half a mile, another elevation formed the Northern boundary of Blooming- dale Heights. The interval between was then called the " Hollow Way," formerly " Martje Davit's Vly." Manhattan Street is Chapter Four — The Loss of New York City 55 56 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut the main thoroughfare through this depression to-day. Howe's headquarters were at the Apthorpe House on the Bloomingdale road, South of Vandewater's Heights, now the site of Columbia University. Washington occupied the Mansion which had been the recent home of Col. Roger Morris who was with the enemy. This house, known later as the Jumel Mansion, stands on the bank of the Harlem River, East of Amsterdam Avenue, at about 169th Street. It is now the Washington Headquarters Associa tion, founded by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Early the next morning, Sept. 16, Washington sent Col. Knowl- ton, with his Connecticut Rangers, and Maj. Leitch of Virginia, to gain the rear of some light Troops of the enemy. Their course is indicated, in part, on the accompanying map. Gen. Clinton occupied the enemy in front. Greene and Putnam were on the ground. Starting from the " Point of Rocks," Knowlton made a sally, located the advance of the enemy and returned to the camp. Reinforced by Leitch, Knowlton led a flanking party to cut off the apparently small force of the enemy. The latter was diverted by a movement in front, thus allowing Knowlton to gain his flank; after which Knowlton pursued the enemy as far South as the British outpost above the Hudson River at 107th Street. Knowlton was killed North of the Vandewater house; and Leitch was mortally wounded about the same time in what is now Morn- ingside Park. The Regiments of Griffeths and Richardson were sent to aid them. The advance of the enemy gave way; and was pursued to the South, near the main camp of the British, when the Americans were recalled. They returned to the camp above the chain of redoubts, on Harlem Heights. It was an American victory to the extent that the enemy was driven back for a mile. Although only a skirmish, it encouraged the American Troops. It also made up for the disgrace of the day before at Kip's Bay. An elaborate tablet on Columbia University commemorates the victory; and another, at Amsterdam Avenue and 138th Street, marks the site of the encampment after the Battle. * With the capture of the City in sight, the Troops from Con necticut, and even Gen. Greene, were in favor of burning it before retreating. (Force's " American Archives. 4th Ser.", 2. 182) Each Army watched the other across the " Hollow Way; " until Washington, fearing that Howe would gain his rear by way of Westchester County, decided to withdraw his Army from the Island, leaving a strong garrison at Fort Washington. (Chap. 3) BATTLE OF WHITE PLAINS The movement to the main land was made none too soon; for Howe advanced to Throgg's Neck, in that County, on Oct. 12. Prescott held him there for about a week ; and then Howe appeared in the vicinity of New Rochelle. Still delaying his movements, Howe allowed Putnam to bring valuable information to Wash- * Consult Johnston's " Battle of Harlem Heights." Chapter Four — The Loss of New York City 57 From Lossing's " Field Book of the Revolution " (See Ap. J.) 58 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut ington. The latter, on Oct. 16, decided to concentrate upon White Plains; and camped there, Oct. 21 to 26. Here a small guard protected the valuable stores. The American right was on the Bronx River; the left was on Chatterton's Hill. The enemy advanced through Scarsdale, where he stayed until Oct. 28. His right column was under Clinton; and his left, composed of Hessians, was under De Heister. On the American side were Lee, Heath, Putnam, Spencer, McDou gall, Silliman, Douglas, Chester, Brooks, Smallwood, Ritzema, Samuel B. Webb, [Ap. I. 14], and Hamilton with his Artillery. Word of the British advance was brought to Washington by Capt. James Green, of the Con necticut Light Horse, as he was discussing certain proposed Fortifications with Gen. Charles Lee who had just arrived. The Americans retreated from the Hill; Howe delayed further operations; and Washington retired to the impregnable heights of North Castle. (See Tall- madge's Map, Chap. 26) - Being unfamiliar with the /"~frVT J-/2> VlN./w* country, Howe stopped ( "7 W*' V S the Pursuit- A remark" \^_y$S'' ' Q yy^ ably minute and detailed CZ__-^"^ account of the Battle of White Plains may be found in Dawson's "Westchester County During the American Revolution." An English map of 1777 appears in the Clinton Papers, 1. 622. CAPTURE OF FORT WASHINGTON Washington then divined Howe's purpose ¦ — to capture Fort Washington and King's Bridge. Leaving North Castle securely guarded by a small force, Washington, Putnam, Greene and Mer cer, with the main body of the Army, crossed the Hudson near Tarrytown and encamped in the rear of Fort Lee. Fort Washington was commanded by Col. Magaw of Pennsyl vania. Three lines of outer defences were relied upon to check the advance of the enemy. The first, or Southerly, line was near 147th Street; the second, and stronger, was at 153d Street; the third, and weaker, at 160th and 161st Streets. A redoubt on the first line overlooked the Hudson River. On Oct. 27, it had engaged two of the enemy's Frigates, and nearly sank one of them. The most Northerly out-work, at 196th Street, was called Cock Hill Fort, or Fort Tryon after its capture. Near 190th Street, on Chapter Four — The Loss of New York City 59 Laurel Hill and the Harlem River, stood a redoubt which was called Fort George after it fell into the hands of the enemy. (Chap. 3) It was not Howe's original design to attack Fort Washington; but, rather, to leave it for the present and secure Philadelphia. The outcome at White Plains, and his good fortune in securing plans of the Fort from a deserter, led him to decide upon the at tack. After several days of preparation, and a refusal by Magaw to surrender, the attack began on Nov. 16. Magaw had with him Pennsylvanians, under Cadwallader, Baxter, and others; Marylanders, under Rawlings and Williams; and Connecticut men under Bradley — about 2,800, all told. Cadwallader was posted at the lower line; Baxter, at Laurel Hill, 196th Street; and Raw- lings, at Fort Tryon on the North. The enemy, under Rail and Knyphausen, captured Kings Bridge without trouble and advanced Condition, in 1905, of the First Line of Defence (1776) upon Rawlings. Cornwallis and Matthews crossed the Harlem River, protected by the cannonade from Fordham; climbed the height on the North; and appeared opposite to Baxter. These two movements came from the North and the East. On the South, Percy was assigned to take care of Cadwallader. Col. Leslie and the 42d Highlanders came from the River, at 1 52dStreet. Down to this time, Washington hoped that Fort Washington might be evacuated, and the garrison therein saved. He might then, with a larger force, be able to conduct operations in the Jerseys, to the South of New York. With this in mind, he crossed the Hudson River to Fort Washington, accompanied by the Gen erals who were with him at Fort Lee. But, as hostilities had already commenced, he reluctantly crossed back to the New Jersey shore. Howe joined Percy in attacking Cadwallader on the first line. The latter resisted stoutly; but, being outflanked, he retreated to the Fort. Cornwallis and Matthews drove Baxter's men into 60 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Fort Washington, but not until Baxter had fallen. A longer resistance was made by Rawlings; but he, too, was forced by Rail and Knyphausen to fall back on the Fort. Magaw was obliged to surrender, with his entire command, about 2,700 Officers and men. Two days later, Fort Lee was evacuated, on the approach of Cornwallis. Thus the first full year of the Campaign had ended disastrously to the Americans. Over 4,000 of them were captives to the enemy. They had gained Boston, but they had lost New York and Long Island; and with them, the control of the lower Hudson and Long Island Sound. All these had been lost, as it proved, without hope of recovery until the final Declaration of Peace, in 1783. CARLETON CHECKED AT THE NORTH There were two bright rays to penetrate the gloom. In the Northern Department, Schuyler had held Guy Carleton in check so that Howe had no encouragement from that quarter. On Oct. 1 1 , Arnold with his small Fleet, engaged Capt. Pringle off Valcour Island in Lake Champlain. Arnold withdrew that night; but, two days later, the engagement was renewed North of Crown Point. Being overpowered, he ran his ships into shallow water and burned them. He escaped to Crown Point with nearly all of his men. Gen. David Waterbury, of Connecticut, who had been assigned to the flotilla, was captured. TRENTON AND PRINCETON The second bright ray was the rapid movement of Washington, unexpected by Howe, from Fort Lee to the South, in New Jersey. Howe had already begun his plan of capturing Philadelphia, as the crowning victory of the year 1776. The Continental Congress had removed to Baltimore. Washington had but a remnant of his former Army; but there were 2,400 reliable men. The old, familiar leaders were there; Stirling, Sullivan, Greene, Glover, Mercer, Hand, Smallwood, Knox, Haslet, Charles Webb, Ward, Bradley, Chester, Sargent, Hutchinson, and McDougall. St. Clair (Ap. I. n), of Pennsylvania, appeared for the first time. There were also fresh Troops from Massachusetts and New Hampshire which had just arrived from Ticonderoga. Lt. James Monroe, afterward President of the United States, was also on the scene. Believing the conquest of Philadelphia an easy matter, Howe had strung his Army through New Jersey so that there was no strong force at any one point. After guarding the Delaware River opposite Trenton, and also above and below it — all on the Pennsylvania side — Washington crossed to the New Jersey side, nine miles above Trenton, in the night of December 24-25. Samuel B. Webb acted as his Aide. Rail was in Trenton with about 1,200 Hessians. Greene's Division (Stephen and Mercer with Stirling in reserve) took the Upper Road; Sullivan's Division (Glover and Sargent, with St. Clair in reserve) took the River Chapter Five — The Highlands to Philadelphia 61 Road. Marching through a severe snow-storm, the two Divisions fell upon Trenton from opposite directions. Rail was surprised; and in the brief engagement which followed he was slain. His Army, with all of its supplies, was captured. Washington then re-formed his veterans to oppose Cornwallis who was advancing from Princeton. The position of the Ameri cans at Trenton was hazardous, with the Delaware in the rear. A night march put them in the rear of Cornwallis, with the retreat open to the heights of Morristown. Near Princeton, Mercer fell in with Mawood and his three British Regiments. The conflict was sharp; Mercer was mortally wounded; and the enemy began to drive the Americans back. The latter, being reinforced, turned the tables and put the enemy to rout. Although the Battle occurred on Jan. 3, 1777, yet Princeton was really a part of the Campaign of 1776. Howe gave up the plan of wintering in Philadelphia; and Washington took up his winter quarters at Morristown, almost within the enemy's country. CHAPTER FIVE — THE HIGHLANDS TO PHILADELPHIA We have dwelt, as circumstantially as space will permit, upon the operations in the vicinity of New York. The defeat on Long Island made many of the inhabitants Refugees to the State of Connecticut; while the abandoning of New York sent many of its prominent men not only to Connecticut, but to other parts of the State of New York. On some accounts, it might seem best to leave the later history of the War at this point, and begin the story of the American Refugees. But historical sequence for bids this. The disasters about New York should be viewed in retrospect to show their relative importance; and, to this end, the remainder of the War must be sketched briefly. Then certain phases of the Military and the Civil Organization must appear. In other words, what concerned the people as a whole precedes what concerned but a part — the Refugees. As stated in Chapter 1, the stage setting is not yet ready for the actors. Then, too, many of the Refugees from the City, and from Long Island, served in the American Army after the disasters of 1776 — ¦ as is shown in Ap. G., and elsewhere. So that, to omit all refer ence to the War after that year, would not be dealing fairly with those who left their homes to enter the American service. The Campaign of 1777 opened with several unimportant skir mishes. Apparently, Washington did not hasten to leave his winter quarters at Morristown; and Cornwallis kept within his quarters at New Bruns wick and Amboy. In ^rf jnK .—*-SMJ//A April, Marquis de LaFa- /^ix^ 1 GrtttK /mS'W^J yette (Ap. I. 7) and Baron de Kalb (Ap. I. 4) arrived in South Carolina, and offered their services as volunteers in the American Army. 62 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut From 01.r,lrTiffI0ri*IoVa^q«tLcn(Jtli.

Topographical Map of the Highlands Chapter Five ¦ — The Highlands to Philadelphia 63 ^&?zsw?7z*' 64 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut IMPORTANCE OF THE HIGHLANDS While Howe and Cornwallis were maneuvering with the ob ject of taking Philadelphia, Sir Henry Clinton was in command at New York. He had not forgotten the plan of 1776 by which he was to ascend the Hudson; while Carleton and Burgoyne were to come down from Canada and meet him in Albany. The Highlands of the Hudson extend from Haverstraw Bay to Newburgh — a stretch of about twenty miles. Here the narrow channels are commanded by many points which rise to considerable elevations. The Highlands are at the South what Champlain is at the North — the water highway along which all Military operations of that time had to move. Peekskill is the gateway to the Southern entrance. In March, 1777, Washington concentrated at Peekskill many of the New England Troops, and some of the New York Troops, under McDougall ; while Willett commanded at Fort Constitution, opposite West Point. During the Summer, McDougall was superseded by Putnam. With the force at Peekskill, the Americans were prepared to defend the Highlands. At the same time, they were within striking distance of Long Island Sound. A little higher up, on the West bank of the River, were Fort Montgomery at the North and Fort Clinton at the South — separated by the Poplopen Kill. The Provincial Congress, in 1775, had ordered these Forts to be built ; and also Fort Constitution. Fort Montgomery, the stronger of the two, was built in the summer of 1776. A huge chain, sup ported and defended by booms of sharpened logs, was stretched across the River from Fort Clinton to Anthony's Nose. Above the chain were the Continental Frigates " Montgomery " and " Congress." Gen. George Clinton, under the Congress and Putnam, procured the chain. (Clinton Papers) The " Secret Committee " (William Bedlow, John Berrien and John Hanson) to erect Fortifications and to obstruct the River, with Capt. Thomas Machin (Ap. I. 8) in charge, expended r« about .£7,500 in the work. The itemized r.cvQ /Us accounts of the Committee and Machin appear in the Rev'y MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y, 32.3 and 51. n, 20-22. The engineering skill of Count Pulaski (Ap. I. 10) was of great service in fortifying the Highlands. CAPTURE OF FORTS CLINTON AND MONTGOMERY Fort Montgomery was garrisoned early in 1777, and some of the Refugees from Long Island were there. (Ap. A. 29) The Troops at Peekskill had been depleted in the following summer; a part going to Washington in Pennsylvania, and a part to Schuyler at the North. This left Putnam with a very small force to op pose Sir Henry Clinton and Sir John Vaughan, when they sailed up from New York early in October. Forts Clinton and Mont gomery, commanded by the brothers Gen. James and Gen. and Gov. George Clinton, were feebly garrisoned. The troops were supplied with window leads, for bullets — a part of the stock Chapter Five — The Highlands to Philadelphia 65 which had been taken in New York City. (Rev'y MSS., 51. 87. Also Chapters 2 and 9) Sir Henry Clinton made a feint toward Peekskill to divert Putnam; and the latter sent to the brothers Clinton for aid. Meantime, the main body of the enemy landed on the West bank, several miles below the Forts, and advanced overland. The brothers Clinton now called on Putnam for as sistance, but it was sent too late. The garrisons finally gave way on Oct. 6. Many escaped in the darkness, among them Gen. James Clinton who was wounded, and Gen. George Clinton who had recently taken the oath as first Governor of the new State of New York. That night the Americans burned their Frigates. On the next day, the Ships of the enemy made short work of the chain. The Americans abandoned Fort Constitution; and the enemy moved up the River to Kingston. The Legislature ad journed hurriedly; and met again, at Poughkeepsie, in the follow ing January. (Ap. B. 43) Kingston was burned by the enemy on Oct. 16. Many claims for damages at that time may be found in the Rev'y MSS., as above, 50. 164, &c. The visitor of today will find some remains of Forts Clinton and Montgomery. But the traveler on the other side of the River sees only the bridge across the Poplopen Kill, disfigured with an advertising sign. Thus commercialism takes the place of history. Sir Henry Clinton having now advanced to within 60 miles of Albany, awaited news from Burgoyne at the North. The news was not reassuring. Finally, when it was known that Burgoyne had surrendered, Clinton retired through Fishkill and Peekskill, after a few skirmishes and the destruction of Military stores, and was once more in New York. Thereupon, Parsons re-occupied Peekskill for the Americans, and it remained their strategic point throughout the War. ORISKANY AND FORT SCHULYER The operations at the North, so timed as to meet Sir Henry Clinton at Albany, were in two separate Expeditions. The first one started from Montreal, with picked troops under Col. Barry St. Leger, on July 19. It crossed the foot of Lake Ontario and took the direction of the Mohawk Valley. St. Leger was soon joined by Sir John Johnson with his Royalists, and by Col. John Butler and his Iroquois allies under Joseph Brant. (Ap. I. 2) The Oneidas and the Tuscaroras, of the Six Nations, alone remained neutral. It was a well balanced, well organized force numbering about 2,000. St. Leger looked for no serious opposition. But Gen. Nicholas Herkimer (Ap. I. 6), rallied a force of 800, mostly Germans, which met at Fort Dayton, the mouth of West Canada Creek, prepared to meet the enemy whether approaching from the South or the West. Fort Stanwix, of the French War, occupied the site of the present Rome, New York. In the Revolutionary War, it was known as Fort 66 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Schuvler. It was commanded by Col. Peter Gansevoort (Ap. I. 5) and his 3d Continentals; seconded by Lt. Col. Willett. Los- sing (" Field Book," 2. 588) states thattheFort was supplied with the arms taken by Willett, in New York City, in 1775. (Chap. 2) Herkimer, under taunts of cowardice, advanced to the relief of Fort Schuyler. He fell into St. Leger's ambuscade at the mouth of Oriskany Creek. The Battle of Aug. 6 lasted for five hours. It was the bloodiest of the War, in proportion to the numbers en gaged. Herkimer was mortally wounded; his little band was scattered; but St. Leger was checked, and his siege of the Fort was delayed. Then was displayed, on the walls of the Fort, what is said to have been the first Flag of the United States made according to the directions of the Continental Congress. The materials came from the clothing of the garri son. Mrs. Abraham Lansing, of Albany, New York, a grand daughter of Col. Gansevoort, is the present owner of the Flag. Herkimer having sent to the Fort for help, Willett made a sortie which forced the retreat of the enemy from Oriskany. Through Willett as the messen ger, Gansevoort now appealed to Schuyler at Albany. The latter was watching Burgoyne at the North. His Officers opposed the sending of help to Gansevoort; but Schuyler took the responsi bility; called for volunteers; and Arnold responded with 800 men. On Aug. 22, from German Flats, Arnold wrote to Gansevoort that he was on the way to help him and Herkimer; that Stark had won at Bennington; that Burgoyne had retreated to Ticonderoga; and that Howe with his shattered Army was becalmed in the Gulf Stream. (Gansevoort Papers, owned by Mrs. Abraham Lansing) This was true as to Stark, only; but it was also true that, on the above date, St. Leger had abandoned the siege of Fort Schuyler, and that Sir Henry Clinton would not be helped from that quarter. Reminders of those days survive in the Herkimer House, near Little Falls; and in Guy Park, near Amsterdam, Monuments mark the site of Fort Schuyler and the Battlefield of Oriskany.

With about 10,000 picked men, he left Montreal in June. Proceeding South along the historic Cham plain, he had no difficulty in securing Crown Point. St. Clair was in command at Ticonderoga, with a small force divided be tween that Fort and Fort Independence, opposite. He had pre pared for a stout resistance; but, after Burgoyne had scaled Mt. Defiance with his Artillery, resistance was useless. Ticonderoga was evacuated in the night, without the knowledge of the enemy; but a burning building showed the retreating Americans. They were pursued to Hubbardtown, where they were defeated on July 7. Burgoyne made his first mistake by proceeding to Skenesboro (now Whitehall) at the head of the Lake. He should have en tered Lake George from Ticonderoga, and by using that well- known water-route, he would have gained many miles within the interior of the American territory. Such was the advice of Carle ton, whom Burgoyne succeeded. It was poor judgment on the part of the King and his Privy Council to retire a Commander who was familiar with the topography of the country and who understood the Canadians, the Indians and the Americans, and to place in his stead a leader who had none of those qualifi cations. So Burgoyne tarried for three weeks in Skenesboro. Schuyler, still in command of the Northern Department, had already for tified the Islands of the Mohawk as a last stand against both St. Leger and Burgoyne, should they join at that point. Albany was Chapter Five — The Highlands to Philadelphia 69 yJ.L fit Ftfndffi'tndence Albany to Ticonderoga Ticonderoga to Montreal 70 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Jk^-ft*^ ff9!kaxj**n, A /^te^w^ Chapter Five — ¦ The Highlands to Philadelphia 7 1 M' ... -¦ .^fli ¦>, jHHSar-V -'%- j ^ S^ ¦?j»x J J *& .#§Jli«£!l§ llkilJi ^.cy^^C^ 72 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut in a state of panic; although the County Committee had ap pealed to New England, and help had come from Litchfield and other places. (Clinton Papers, Vol. 2) By this time, Burgoyne sought to increase his supplies from the American stores at Bennington; and Baume was sent thither, with 500 men, for that purpose. Here Stark (Ap. 1. 12) and War ner defeated him, on Aug. 16; took him and 900 other prison ers; and captured nearly all of Baume's arms and ammunition. Breyman, coming to his aid, ar rived too late. The victory at Bennington and the failure of St. Leger had already cheered the Americans before Burgoyne left Skenesboro. Once out from Skenesboro, Burgoyne found that Schuyler had so obstructed his path that he was several days in reaching Fort Edward, only 22 miles away — somewhat over a month from Ticonderoga, when he could ha\'e gained Fort Edward in one-third of the time by way of Lake George. At this critical moment, the Continental Congress sent Maj. Gen. Horatio Gates (Ap. I. 5) to succeed Schuyler — as the friends of the latter said "to take the laurels which Schuyler had won. " Schuyler remained to advise with Gates. In the meantime, Bur goyne tarried at Fort Edward where he had managed to secure supplies for 30 days. Here he had the news of St. Leger's de feat; but, as yet, no news of Clinton's progress up the Hud son. Further supplies from the North had been cut off by the Americans. For the first time, Burgoyne hesitated; but he finally crossed the River and advanced toward Schuylerville. Gates left the Islands of the Mohawk; advanced to Schuylerville; and fortified Bemis Heights, where he awaited Burgoyne. The Monument at Saratoga Chapter Five — The Highlands to Philadelphia 73 BATTLE OF STILLWATER Bemis Heights, on Sept. 19, was the scene of the contest, some times known as the Battle of Stillwater. The Americans faced North, with their right on the River; and Gates in command. Their left was under Arnold. The British faced South, with their left on the River, and Philips and Reidesel in command. Their right was under Burgoyne, assisted by Fraser and Brey- mann. Arnold was the inspiring genius on the field; and Col. Daniel Morgan (Ap. I. 9) and Gen. Henry Dearborn (Ap. I. 4) were his able assistants. Warner, Stark, Fellows, Wolcott, Glover — names we have met before — were also there. Col. Ebenezer Stevens ("Refugees, N. Y. City") commanded the Artillery; and Capt. John Varick (Same ref.) had also come from New York. Maj. Morgan Lewis (Same ref.), afterward Governor of New York, was Aide to Gen. Gates; and also Qr. Mr. Gen. of the Northern Department. The result of the Battle was favorable to the Americans. The advance of Burgoyne was checked, and he retreated several miles to the North where he fortified. The two Armies were inactive from Sept. 20 until Oct. 7. In this interval, Gates deprived Arnold of his command, and gave it to Gen. Benjamin Lincoln (Ap. I. 7) who had just arrived with fresh Troops from New England. At last, Burgoyne had a cipher dispatch from Clinton, stating that he would soon attack Forts Clinton and Montgomery. This encouraged him to fight, although his Officers advised a retreat. His supplies had been cut off in every direction. He was almost surrounded by the enemy; and that enemy's numbers were larger than his own, and constantly growing. The neighbor ing farmers, wholly without organization, came in groups to take " pot shots " at the Red Coats. From a Military stand-point, his situation was pathetic — if such a thing is known in warfare. BATTLE OF SARATOGA The second contest known as the Battle of Saratoga, took place near Schuylerville, on Oct. 7. The relative positions of both Armies, as to the River, were similar to their positions on Sept. 19. The action was brief and decisive. Morgan's Riflemen, from Virginia, were everywhere. Fraser fell; and the enemy lost heart. Ten Broeck came up with 3 ,000 fresh New Yorkers. While the enemy wavered, the intrepid Arnold, now without a command and wholly without orders, rushed from one part of the field to another, constantly dodging a messenger from Gates instructing him to do nothing rash. He had done it, already ; and he had made the victory decisive. Yet, on account of his later conduct, a niche in the Sara toga Monument bears his name, only ; while the other three niches have not only the names, but the statues of Gates, Schuyler and Morgan. Burgoyne now had no alternative but to surrender. On Oct. 14, he proposed terms to Gates by which the British Army was to be returned to England for service elsewhere. By this time, Gates 74 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut had heard of Sir Henry Clinton's success in the Highlands. He accepted Burgoyne's proposition; and the surrender was arranged to take place three days later. On the evening before the surren der, Burgoyne had also heard from Clinton; and he was disposed not to sign the Capitulation. But, on the morning of the 17th, Gates drew up his Army and threatened to open fire ; and the Capitulation was signed. Adjt. Gen. James Wilkinson was the only American Officer who saw Burgoyne's Troops lay down their arms. Wilkinson then brought Burgoyne to Gates ; the two leaders dined together; and, afterward, in the sight of both Armies, Burgoyne gave up his sword which was promptly returned by Gates. Wilkin son was sent to the Continental Congress with news of the victory. The Articles of Capitulation are owned by the New York Histori cal Society. Throughout these trying moments, when another was receiving the plaudits of the victory which Schuyler had done so much to Women of the Revolution — Interior Tablet, Saratoga Monument Chapter Five — The Highlands to Philadelphia IS secure, the attitude of Schuyler showed that he had the cause of the Country at heart rather than his personal fortune. He wel comed Burgoyne, although Burgoyne had burned his summer home at Schuylerville. He sent the Baroness Reidesel, in his own carriage, to his home in Albany; and thither he followed to entertain Burgoyne, and several of his Officers, on their way to embark at Boston. The captured arms, ammunition and clothing were welcome to the Americans. But they were insignificant compared with the inspiring effect upon the American people. The most important result was the Alliance with France, which followed in the next The Schuyler Mansion at Albany, N. Y. year. "The Revolution was saved at Trenton; it was estab lished at Saratoga". (Henry Cabot Lodge) From this time, Ticonderoga and Crown Point were of no fur ther use, and they fell rapidly into decay. The Fort at Ticon deroga is now (1912) being restored by Mr. Stephen Pell, of New York City. The Forts at Crown Point, together with consider able land around them, were given to New York as a State Park in 19 10. The donors were Witherbee, Sherman and Co., of Port Henry, New York. THE LOSS OF PHILADELPHIA We left Washington in New Jersey maneuvering against Howe and Cornwallis. While he had no hope of saving Philadelphia, he saw the importance of keeping his opponents so busy that they 76 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut could not help Clinton or Burgoyne. With this in view, he so disposed his Army by land that the brothers Howe sailed from New York for the Chesapeake, on July 23. The opposing Armies met at Brandywine Creek on Sept. 11. Here, again, are found Sul livan, Greene, Stirling, Wayne and Armstrong. LaFayette was wounded. Sullivan was out-flanked, and the day was lost. Then came the skirmish at Paoli; and, on Oct. 4, the Battle of German- town which gave Philadelphia to the enemy. Washington made a last stand at Fort Mifflin on the Delaware River; but this, too, was lost. The Continental Congress adjourned to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, before the arrival of Cornwallis and Howe. On Dec. 1 1 , Washington took up his winter quarters at Valley Forge, on the Schuylkill River, 20 miles above Philadelphia. OPERATIONS ON LONG ISLAND SOUND During the year 1777 four important Raids were made across Long Island Sound. Tryon attacked Danbury and Ridgefield, Apr. 25-28; Col. R. J. Meigs (Ap. I. 9) captured Sag Harbor, May 23, 24; Parsons attacked Setauket, Aug. 22; and Parsons Meigs and Samuel B. Webb made a general, but unsuccessful, attack upon the enemy on Long Island, Dec. 10. (Chap. 26) CHAPTER SIX — VALLEY FORGE TO YORKTOWN Down to the Battle of Saratoga the British had been successful, on the whole. They had gained: Long Island, White Plains, Fort Washington, New York City, The Highlands to Kingston, and Philadelphia. To offset this, the Americans could show, only Boston, Charleston defended, Trenton and Princeton. Besides, their Treasury was nearly exhausted; and their Congress had fled from Philadelphia. But Saratoga balanced the books in their favor. There was no further danger of invasion from the North. McDougall had Links of the Chain Across the Hudson River at West Point, 1778 succeeded Putnam in the Highlands; and, once more, Peekskill and North Castle were occupied as strategic points. Gov. Clinton had interested Washington in a plan to fortify West Point. Put nam commenced the work, and Parsons continued it through 1778. Profiting by the experience with the former chains, at Forts Clinton and Montgomery lower down the River, a larger chain was made by the Stirling Iron Works in the part of Orange Chapter Six — Valley Forge to Yorktown 77 jCc fa Gtsfrtrrz. y*- jyesi«yeo^.a: to?^ dfiny/ <&h«i*o7- i-Z&S Zb*\ A}i*njc-£y/cji &er^-z*- y\yptas f - y ~ <-_r -^T our Governor of our State of New-York, Genera! and Commander in Chief of all the Militia, and Admiral of the- Navy at the fame, by and with the Advice and Conient ofour faid" Council of Appointment, at yys'^/zAc.y^'u, the feu/- Day of ie^«.^w _ in the »-V^«^Year ofour INDEPENDENCE, and in the Year of our LORD, One Thoufand Seven Hundred and Eighty "7^f?cO- Pafled the Secretary's Office, /<) JLy /%&?. $U^J$£ Secretary.

Smith's Regiment, the New York Committee of Safety, on Jan. 6, 1776, recommended to the Committee of Suffolk County that an Artillery Company should be formed, the members of which should be considered as Minute Men. This was done ; and, on Jan. 24, William Smith, Chairman of the County Committee, certified to that effect. (Proceedings Prov'l Cong. Also Ap. G. 4) MOVEMENTS OF THE MILITIA The movements of the Militia from the Island, before and during the Battle of Long Island, are described in Chapter Three. After the Battle, the Militia disbanded and went to their homes. (Chap. 18) The pay rolls of Capt. Selah Strong's Company were taken to Connecticut by Capt. Ebenezer Dayton, in September, 1776 (Ap. C. 38); and probably all of the similar papers which have survived were also removed to places of safety. On Oct. 17, John Sloss Hobart wrote to Gen. George Clinton, from Fairfield, Con necticut, that all of Col. Smith's Regiment had been ordered to rendezvous at New Haven on the following Monday. (Clinton Pap., 1. 382) On Oct. 5, Gen. Clinton ordered Col. Henry B. Livingston (Ap. 1. 7) to gather in all the men of Col. Smith's com mand who were scattered on Long Island and in Connecticut. (Same ref.. 1. 370) On Nov. 8, the New York Committee of Safety resolved to pay such of the Officers and men of Col. Smith's Regi ment as were then outside the territory occupied by the enemy. (Ap. A. 19) On Jan. 24, 1777, the same Committee ordered that the Speaker of the General Assembly of Connecticut, or the Chairman of any Committee in the State, may administer the oath to any Officers and men of Col. Josiah Smith's Regiment, who are upon the muster rolls and pay rolls. (Proceedings Prov'l Conv'n) On Mar. 8, the New York Convention ordered that £&. be paid to Capt.

(Ap. G. 43-101) But it must not be assumed that the Refugee is always identified in the case of service by a man of similar name. All five of the Regiments of the New York Line contained Refugees from Long Island; but the Third and Fourth contained the greater number. It was reported to the New York Committee of Safety, on Dec. 26, and 28, 1776, that many men from the Companies of Captains Joshua Youngs, Paul Reeve and Nathaniel Piatt were serving in Col. Henry B. Livingston's Regiment — the 4th Line. (Ap. G. 47, 48) The Provisional Brigade of Gen. Scott also had a number (Ap. G. 10); while, among the Militia Regiments, the Second and Third of Westchester seemed to be the favorites. (Ap. G. 78, 79) The former was known as " The Miller Regiment," on account of the numerous men of that name therein. THE MILITIA OF CONNECTICUT It has been impracticable to classify the service in Connecticut by Regiments ; therefore the arrangement is according to individual service of those bearing the names of the Refugees. (Ap. G. 82- 101) A very concise statement of the early formation of the Con necticut Troops may be found in Hall's " Life of Gen. Samuel H. Parsons," pp. 1-4. The lack of Cavalry was one of the chief causes of defeat at the Battle of Long Island. Profiting by this experience, Washington had the 2d and the 4th Light Horse, of Connecticut, on out-post duty from New Rochelle to White Plains; and when the Battle at the latter place came on, he had sufficient notice of the approach of the enemy. The 2d Light Horse was re-organized soon afterward, and it served throughout the War. THE SPY SYSTEM Gen. Washington had his own schemes for obtaining informa tion as to the intentions and the movements of the enemy. He never entrusted secrets of this nature to others, not even to those members of his Military family with whom he was most intimate. Apparently Maj. Tallmadge was an exception. (Ap. H. 38) No records are extant showing Washington's methods, because he indited none. He kept his secret relating to spies as well as he kept his secret relating to the constant shortage of powder. With Sir Henry Clinton, it was different. He kept a " Secret Record, ' ' a part of which came to light but a few years ago. That part has been made public; and an excerpt, relating to Long Island and Connecticut, will be found in Ap. H. 35. We are indebted to Sir Henry for the excerpt, because it shows the double life which the spies were obliged to lead. Prominent among them was Maj. Robert Rogers, from Lake George, mistrusted by Wash ington, who finally proved to be a Colonel in the British Army. In other parts of the " Secret Record," not quoted herein, the most conspicuous example of double life is named in the character Chapter Eight — Military Equipment and Pay 93 called " Hiram." According to all accounts he was trusted, feared, believed and disbelieved — by both sides. He was William Heron, of Redding, Connecticut. The only important criticism of Gen. Parsons' conduct during the War came from Heron. In fact, if _ Heron is to be believed, Parsons was a traitor. This accusation is fully met in Hall's "Life of Parsons," pp. 418- 460. Gen. Parsons, himself, had spies in New York City, and on Long Island. (Same ref., pp. 396, 397) Several of the Refugees stand out conspicuously in this service. Lt. Henry Scudder, of Huntington, Dr. William Lawrence and Silvanus Dickerson often gave important information relative to the enemy. Capt. Caleb Brewster, of Setauket, acted as the secret agent of Congress from 1778 to the end of the War. His operations, on Long Island Sound, gave to Washington and the Congress accurate and minute information as to the intentions of the enemy. (See Scudder, Lawrence, Dickerson and Brewster in " The Refugees from L. I. to Conn." For Lawrence, see also Ap. E. 48, 120) CHAPTER EIGHT — MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND PAY From about the year 1700 the Colony of New York enacted, yearly, a law which was usually entitled: 'An act for settling the Militia of this Province and the making of it useful for the security and defense thereof." It was provided therein that Every Foot Soldier must provide himself, and appear and muster with a good, well fixed musket or fuzee, a good sword, belt and cartridge box, six cartridges of powder, a horn and six sizable bullets. At home, he must always have on hand one pound of good gunpowder and three pounds of sizable bullets. For want of these articles, a fine of 20 shillings and prison charges were imposed until the fine was paid. At his discretion, the Captain was allowed and authorized to levy upon and sell the delinquent's goods. " In case the offender be unable or refuse to pay, and he have no goods to distress, he shall ride the wooden horse, or be laid by the neck and heels in a public place for not to exceed an hour." It was also provided that Every Soldier belonging to a Troop of Horse shall appear twice a year for a drill and muster, provided with a good, serviceable horse, not less than 14 hands high, covered with a good saddle, housings, breast plate and crupper, a case of good pistols, a good sword or hanger, one-half a pound of good powder and twelve sizable bullets, a pair of boots and suitable spurs, and a carbine well fixed with a belt, swivel and a blanket, under penalty of ten shillings for the want of a sizable horse, and ten shillings for want of each or either of the other articles. The Chief Militia Acts of the Legislature of New York, were passed: Apr. 3, 1778; Oct. 9, 1779; Mar. n, 1780 and Feb. 21, 1781. 94 The Refugees of 1776 f rem Long Island to Connecticut CLOTHING On Sept. 13, 1775, the New York Committee of Safety supplied a Committee with £4,000; and empowered it to employ a vessel in order to purchase Powder and Arms, — a portion of each; but the whole amount for either Muskets or Powder. Failing in this, to use the whole for saltpetre. Failing in this, " Twenty Tons of Lead to be purchased and the residue of the money invested in 2 1 & 3 point Blanketts fit for a Soldier to cover himself with or wrap himself in — and if Blanketts cannot be procured that they direct the Money to be Invested in such Coarse Wollens as are fit for Soldiers Coats, the Cloths to be Blue Brown or Drab Colours." (Rev'y MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y, 1. i39h) On Oct. 3, 1776, The New York Convention appointed Robert Harpur (Chairman), Abraham P. Lott and Nathaniel Sackett a Committee to take charge of all the Flax belonging to the Con vention ; to hire spinners ; and to have the flax manufactured into yarn and cloth as speedily as possible. (Same ref., 30. 16, 30; 52. 16, 17) The following fabrics were used in the Army: Forest Cloth, Blue Duffel, Red Baize, Royal Rib, Nankeen, Brown Jean, Fustian, Dimmity, Corduroy, Oznabrigs, Blue Shalloon, Blue Strouds, King's Blue, Saxon Green, White Rat- tinette, White Jean, White Shalloon. Duffels were either Red, Blue or Drab. Osingbrigs, or Oznabrigs (probably named from Osnabrueck, in Prussia), was a thin canvas originally used for the smaller sails of ships. (Same ref., 40. 10; 51. 10, 39; 52. 7) _ As the War progressed, the securing of Clothing became more difficult. Laws were passed by the Legislature of New York: Apr. 4, 1778; May 30, 1780; and Mar. 7, 1781. Acting under these laws, Gov. Clinton appointed William Floyd and Isaac Roosevelt Commissioners to procure Clothing, and Money on Loan, presumably to pay for the Clothing. The agents on Long Island and in Connecticut were Maj. John Davis and Capt. John Grinnell. (Same ref., 52. 67 A. to C.) SHADY TRANSACTIONS On Nov. 17, 1780, Ezra L'Hommedieu wrote to Gov. Clinton, from Middletown, Connecticut, that there was little prospect of raising Specie for the purchase of Clothing for the Troops. There fore he, with Col. William Floyd and John Sloss Hobart, had a plan to raise about £10,000 in cash and as much in Clothing, " the particulars of which Col. Floyd will inform you. In trans acting this business, it will be difficult to save our Reputations, and prevent popular clamor, unless great precaution is used. " He then stated that the Governor of Connecticut would give assistance, upon formal application from the Governor of New York. The plan was for Gov. Clinton to grant Warrants of Impress for the articles; to use a small force in executing the Warrants; and to convey the articles to Connecticut where Gov. Trumbull would furnish men and boats to transport the Goods. (Clinton Pap., 6. 419, 420) To this, Gov. Clinton replied, on Dec. 22, by asking E y His L x c e l l en c v CECRGE WASH IK G T O.N, Es q_j General and Commander In Chid cf the Forces of the United States of America, r~%~*% H E S E are to C E R T I F Y that the Bearer hereof ¦y%x^t^-^^%^---r- Rep;ment having faithful- ed the tJnited States ty^y^yy-^t^*^.^-^ =e= — - , — — .__. — — and being inlifted for the War only, is hereby EVciiarced from the American Army, G I V E N at H e a d - Q u a r t fi r s the ¦$-tf»<4^**» By II i s E x c e l l i v • Command, /¦ t "t O-HSiL-j^ey^'t^i y.,'.

Trumbull to co-operate. He also stated that he had given a Warrant of Impress to Maj. John Davis to be used in Suffolk County, New York. On the same date, Gov. Clinton issued instructions to Maj. Davis, with a letter to Mr. L'Hommedieu. Maj. Davis was cautioned to make the Impress the least burden possible ; to guard against the capture of the Clothing by the enemy ; to have the Goods conveyed rapidly toward Hartford; and to draw upon the Refugees in Connecticut in case Gov. Trumbull should not furnish the men and boats. . Maj. Davis was to borrow money in Suffolk County and meet the expense. Maj. John Keese was ordered to furnish Maj. Davis with a horse, conveyance for his baggage, and cash. (Same ref., 6. 510-512) On the same date, Gov. Clinton wrote to Mr. L'Hommedieu informing of his letter to Gov. Trumbull, and his directions to Maj. Davis. (Same ref., 6. 512, 513) On May 2, 1781, Mr. L'Hommedieu wrote to Gov. Clinton stating that he had advanced considerable money of his own for purchases of Clothing; but the Clothing sent on by Maj. Davis " will come vastly cheaper." He advised Gov. Clinton to take out of the Clothing " any articles you might want for yourself and family." He also stated that on the next day there would come on, at Middletown, the Trial for the goods and Clothing taken from the Whigs of Long Island, so as to test the validity of the Commission which took the goods. (Same ref., 6. 823, 824) On Nov. 29, 1 781, Gov. Clinton wrote to Isaac Roosevelt that Maj. John Davis and Capt. John Grinnell, and probably some of the Clothing, had been captured. He recom mended that the work be carried on by Capt. Thomas Grinnell, and Thomas McFarren. (Same ref., 7. 528, 529, 584, 585) Thomas Grinnell was Capt. of the Frigate " Congress." ("N. Y. in the Rev'n — Spt.," p. 269) It is quite certain that the proposi tion made by Obadiah Wright, in December, 1781, related to the same business. (Ap. E. 192) The whole transaction showed that both Governors winked at the Illicit Trade. (Chap. 23) Nathaniel Fanning had some Clothing which the State of New York purchased with the understanding that he should be paid after the War. The Clothing was seized and condemned; but he appealed to Gov. Clinton, in May 1 781, for a permit to remove to Connecticut other goods which had not been seized. (Clinton Pap., 6. 831) UNIFORMS The Militia which joined Washington, before Boston, may have suffered by comparison with the seasoned Soldiery opposed to them. They did not belong to a standing Army; and War was not their occupation. Their personal appearance has often been criticized. The critics have overlooked the important fact that if the men had not come to Washington just as they were when the emergency arose, he would have had no Army; and there would have been no War. But even the Militia of that date sometimes made a better appearance. In 1775, the " Uniform Dress " of Capt. John Skid- Chapter Eight — Military Equipment and Pay 97 more's Company, Jamaica, Long Island, consisted of a linen frock reaching below the knee, with a fringe around the neck and arms, and a white feather in the hat. (Onderdonk's " Queens Co.," p. 36) This outfit was much like that of the Rangers from the Colonies South of Pennsylvania. The fringed hunting shirt was made from green homespun. The rest of the Uniform consisted of substantial buckskin leggings and moccasins, and caps made Regulation Uniform — New Yokk Continental Line The Minute Man of 1776 By Francois Choppin, Paris, France of coon skin. The hair was uncut, and altogether the Rangers presented a very quaint appearance. The Albany County Horse had Blue coats, and hats laced with silver; the New York County Horse, Blue coats and breeches, Scarlet waist-coats, and hats laced with gold. On Nov. 4, 1775, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress pre scribed Brown as the regulation color for the Troops — the several Regiments being distinguished by different colored fac ings. Most of the Troops from that State wore the Brown coat during that year. 98 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut In 1775, the Connecticut Troops wore Red coats; but changed them for Brown in the following year. The Governor's Guard of Connecticut wore Scarlet coats. On June 28, 1775, the New York Provincial Congress directed that the four Infantry Regiments be uniformed as follows: 1st, Blue with Crimson cuffs and facing; 2d, Light Brown with Blue cuffs and facing; 3d, Gray with Green cuffs and facing; 4th, Dark Brown with Scarlet cuffs and facing. On July 16, 1775, Col. John Lamb, of the N. Y. Artillery of the Continental Army, requested his men to wear Blue with Buff facing. In 1777, a law was passed that all Artillery should wear Blue coats with Red trimmings. In one of his Orders, Washington stated that the Blue should be what was known as Dutch Blue. Prior to October, 1779, according to the Regular Orders, the Regiments where uniformed as follows : 9th Va., 5th Md., 9th and 13th Penn., U. S. Invalid and 2d Canadian — Brown coats faced with Red, Green, Buffi or White, respectively. 13th Va., 2d and 3d N. J., 3d and nth Penn. and 7th Md. — Blue coats faced with Yellow, Red or White, respectively. 6th Md. Line — Gray coats faced with Green; Gray waist-coats and breeches. 1st and 3d S. Ca. and 6th Va. — Black coats faced with Red. 1st Va. and 5th S. Ca. — Buckskin hunting shirts and leggings; Officers of the latter, Red coats faced with Black. Cavalry of "Light Horse" Harry Lee — Short Blue jackets faced with White; White waist-coats and Blue breeches. 4th Light Dragoons (Moylan's) — Short Green jackets; Red waist-coats; buckskin breeches; leather caps trimmed with bear skin. Early in the War they had Scarlet coats. 3d Va. Continentals, Nathan Hale's New Haven and L. Paulding's N. Y. — Sky Blue coats with Pale Blue or Red facing, respectively. On Aug. 16, 1779, the United States War Office sent to the Governors of the several States the style of Uniform agreed upon for the Continental Army. The color was Ground Blue, with vests and overalls of White. The facings were as follows: White' — New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut; Buff — New York and New Jersey ; Scarlet — Pennsylvania, Dela ware, Maryland and Virginia; Blue, with button holes trimmed with White tape or worsted lace — North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. (Clinton Pap., 2. 201, 202) In the same year, a General Order provided that the Uniform of the Troops raised by New York and New Jersey should be Blue Coats faced with Buff and lined with White ; buttons White, White undercloaths. For the Five Continental Regiments, the Uniform was Blue, faced with Buff, White lining and buttons, White Vests and Overalls. Serjts — Better Cloathing than the Rank and File, with worsted Epuletts. Drummers and Fifers — Buff- faced with Blue, trimmed with Blue tape and Epuletts. For the Five Companies of Artillery — Blue, faced and lined with Scarlet, Yellow <; buttons and tape; Drummers and Fifers — Scarlet faced with Blue. For the Dragoons — Short Blue coats, WAR DEPARTMENT.

The other Corps of Infantry credited to the State to be in the State Uniform. (Rev'y MSS., 52. 28, 65) On Nov. 27, 1779, the Continental Congress resolved that each year every Officer of the Line and Staff should be supplied with 1 hat, 2 watch coats, 1 body coat, 4 vests (1 for winter and 3 for summer), 4 pairs of breeches (2 pairs for winter and 2 pairs for summer), 4 shirts, 6 pairs of socks (3 of worsted and 3 of thread), 4 pairs of shoes ¦ — " for which they shall not pay more than one- half in advance of the price that was paid for the same articles before the commencement of hostilities in April, 1775." The Continental Uniform was described in this way: Under the coat was a White cloth vest, and the knee breeches were of the same color. The top boots reached nearly to the knees. The three cornered hat was surmounted by a plume of Buff, Red or White. The buttons on the coat were not of a distinctive charac ter, but were usually of metal or bone. PAY On Aug. 1, 1775, the New York Provincial Congress resolved that each enlisted man of the Militia be allowed 53s. 4d. per month in such manner as the Troops of Connecticut and Massa chusetts Bay receive their pay; that they be allowed one blanket and one Regimental coat; that they be allowed 10s. for the use of their Arms; and that, if they have no Arms, Arms shall be fur nished them to be either returned or paid for at the close of the Campaign. (Rev'y MSS., 30. 30) There are many elaborate Tables "Calculated for the Use of the Militia Officers of the State of New York to shew them at one View the Amount of there pay from one day to three Months at the present pay of the American Army." (Same ref., 17. 5) The laws of Oct. 4, 1780, and Apr. 21, 1787, referred more particularly to the payment of the Soldiers. In 1775, the Continental Congress ordered that the Pay of the Army should be, in " Lawful " money, a slight discount from "New York" money. The Congress, on Oct. 7, 1776, established the Monthly Pay of the American Army, commencing Jan. 1 , 1777, and extending to May 2 7 , 1 7 7 8 . For more detailed information, see Rev'y MSS., 14. 45, 47, 48; 30. 26, 36; 31. 79 (No. 21), 161, 172, 186. BOUNTIES Bounties, in money, were paid by the New York Provincial Congress, in August 1776, to men raised in Queens County for the purpose of guarding the stock in that County. (Ap. A. 5) On Aug. 15, 1780, Capt. Nathaniel Norton wrote to Gov. Clinton suggesting that he and Maj. John Davis, (both of them Refugees) should go to Long Island after money for Bounties to newly enlisted men. (Clinton Pap., 6. 103) On Oct. 8, 1776, the Continental Congress resolved that a suit of clothes should be given " as a Bounty to the Soldiers who shall list during the War. ' ' (Rev'y MSS. , 3 1 . 119) Acting under this Chapter Nine — Arms and Military Stores 101 Resolution, the New York Provincial Congress, on Sept. 3, 1777, declared that the "Articles of Cloathing Delivered the Continental Troops of the State of New York as a Bounty are as follows, Vizt. 2 shirts, 2 pair shoes, 2 pair stockings, 1 pair B. skin breeches, 2 Frocks, 1 Hatt, 2 pair Overalls and 1 Jacket or Vest." The total value was £13. 17. 4. (Same ref., 14. 61) On Mar. 9, 1779, the Continental Congress recommended that each State should fill its complement of men by drafts; that a Bounty of $200 should be given to each draft; and that each State should be credited for $200 for each recruit it broughtinto the field for three years. (Same ref., 31. 119) A law of the State of New York, passed July 1, 1780, provided that a soldier enlisting in the Continental Battalions from the Levies should have a Bounty of one and a half bushels of Wheat for each month of his service; and that the same Bounty should be paid to every man joining the Levies from the Militia — the Wheat to be taken by Impress, and the paper money given there for to be receivable for Taxes.* PENSIONS The important laws of the State of New York, relating to Pensions were passed: — Mar. 10, 1779; Mar. 18, 1783; Apr. 17, 1784; Apr. 22, 1786; and Mar. 26, 1794. On Mar. 5, 1783, a Concurrent Resolution of the Legislature provided that certain soldiers, having produced the necessary evidence conformable to the Acts of Congress and the Law of the State, are entitled to receive one half of their monthly pay from the time of their being wounded. In 1789, an accounting showed the United States debtor to the State of New York, for Pensions, to the amount of about $91,000. (Rev'y MSS., 31. 153) The Pensioners, so far as- named in these MSS., will be found in " N. Y. in the Rev'n," pp. 271-273. Vols. 15 and 16 of the MSS. should be consulted for further details. Individual instances of Pensions of the Refugees will be found in the biographies of Joseph Knapp, Jr. and Lt. Robert Harris, from New York City; and Israel Reeve, from Long Island. CHAPTER NINE— ARMS AND MILITARY STORES After serving for some time as the Commissary of Military Stores for the New York Provincial Congress, Peter T. Curtenius was succeeded by Col. John Lasher, on May 9, 1777. All of the transactions relating to Arms and Stores were carried on by Col. Lasher after that date. Both Curtenius and Lasher were Refu gees from New York City. * Further information will be found in the Rev'y MSS., 1.94, 128; 14.61 — 66. 73, 82; 30. 30; 31. 119, 127 ; 40. 63. The Land Bounty Rights are fully described in " N. Y. in the Rev'n," pp. 12, 14; and in the " Supplement " to the same, pp. 199-216. 102 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Before the Americans evacuated New York City, in 1776, all the Stores were carried to White Plains. (Chap. 3) There was also a Military Storehouse at Wallkill, 1776-1778. (Rev'y MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y, 51. 34) The accounts of Richard Norwood, Provincial Storekeeper, " for sundries furnished and cash dis bursed " commencing Feb. 19, 1776, show to whom the Stores were delivered. (Same ref., 51. 35) The Committee of Con spiracies, Feb. 15, 1777, paid George Adriance for transport ing Ammunition to the house of John Carpenter, at Nine Partners ; also, on the same date, Capt. Swart " for bringing Ammunition up from the River." (Same ref., 40. 98) On Jan. 16, 1777, the New York Committee of Safety appointed Capt. James Weeks Assistant Commissary of the Arms, Ammu nition and Stores belonging to the State, at Fishkill; and resolved: ' ' that he receive into his care all the Arms which shall be delivered in store at Forts Montgomerie and Constitution by the disbanded soldiers, and that he cause the same to be conveyed to this Place (for the use of such of the new Levies as are unprovided) without delay." (Same ref., 30. 27) CANNON Soon after its appointment, the Committee of 100 in New York City (Ap. H. 4) took over 50 Cannon and 12 Blunderbusses from citizens of that place. This was done, May to September, 1775. (Rev'y MSS., 51. 42, No. 44) Some of them were loaned to Capts. Sebastian Bauman and Alexander Hamilton for the use of the United States. (Same ref., 51. 45) Others were loaned to Con necticut, being delivered at New Haven by Capt. Isaac Sears, later a Refugee, and Thomas Ivers. (Ap. E. 195) The Cannon which were taken at Ticonderoga are mentioned in Chapter One. In 1792, Capt. William Stevens, who had served in Col. Lamb's Regiment during the War, published an exhaustive work on " A System for the Discipline of the Artillery of the United States of America." Several of his illustrations are reproduced on p. 103. In January, 1776, the Committee of Safety authorized Col. McDougall to make carriages for the Cannon taken in the City. (Rev'y MSS., 1. 83) Later in the year, Cannon and Military Stores, described as " the property of the King of Great Britain," were taken from the Battery ; and other Cannon were taken from individuals — all by order of the Committee of 100. A total of 216 pairs of Cannon, taken in this manner, was afterward charged against the United States — the value being stated as £4,560. (Same ref., 31. 132) Many of these Cannon were captured by the enemy at Kings Bridge, in 1776. (Same ref., 31. 127) In March, several field pieces were sent to Virginia.

Outside the City, the Prisoners were, for the most part, confined on the Western end of Long Island. Some were kept at Lloyd's Neck; but the larger number were at Flatlands, New Lots, Gravesend, New Utrecht and Flatbush. In 1780, and before, Gov. Clinton pledged the faith of the State of New York to any persons on Long Island who would advance money to Col. William Allison and Col. James McClaghry. (See the reproductions on p. 123) The precise wording was this: Any Person upon Long Island who will advance to Colo. William Allison for the Use of himself and the other Officers of this State Prisoners of War the Sum of Five hundred Pounds in specie shall be repaid soon as conveniently may be; for which the Faith of the State is hereby pledged. (Rev'y MSS., 14- 105) Col. Allison (Ap. I. 1) was taken at Fort Clinton, Oct. 6, 1777. He was a Prisoner at New Utrecht, in 1778. ("Penn. Mag. of Hist. and Biog.," 1893) The following forms of receipts were given by the Prisoners: We the Subscribers, received of Coll William Allison the Sum fixed oppos ite our respective Names for Money Sent in by his Excellency Genl George Clinton for the Use of the Officers taken up the North River at Forts Mont gomery and Clinton. New Utright Long Island Novr. 27th, 1777.

Augst 8th and Octr. 30th, 1780. (Same ref., 14. no. 1) The money thus collected was used not only for the relief of the American Prisoners on Long Island, but also for the Prisoners on the Ships and in the several Prisons in New York City. On Nov. 3, 1 781, Col. Allison wrote to Gov. Clinton, from Goshen, account ing for the receipts in his hands, and stating that Col. McClaghry had other receipts. He hoped that the distribution of the monies, made by them, would be approved. (Clinton Pap., 7. 481) On Nov. 13, 1 78 1, Gov. Clinton made an accounting for the Specie advanced by him for the Prisoners on Long Island. The account ran from Nov. 21, 1 7 7 7 to August, 1780; and the total was £2,772.5. 3. (Same ref., 7. 501) Evidently this figure was but a small part of the whole; for, in Gov. Clinton's final accounting, it is stated that he received £25,556. 17. 6. from this source. (Same ref., 31. 6) Among those who were paid from this fund were the Refugee Prisoners : Qr. Mr. Nehemiah Carpenter, Capt. Joseph Crane and Lt. John Furman. (Account of Lewis Pintard in Wilson's " Hist. of N. Y. City," 4. 293) On May 24, 1780, a number of the American Officers petitioned Gov. Clinton, from Long Island, stating that they had been con- SjiiT f J't*^~£*\^>~~& 9 ;-» y -" /y y ~fg*^- -igs *&t--? oyy -> lss2~y/t^&*-^~ *- -?^0t^y ¦*f~&-*^'' y^f/ // % y ( y '•¦¦-¦'¦ * ' ^ -y1 / <0L*^-£i €y Po tfl to a Fragment of a Letter From Col. John Ely to His Wife, While in Captivity 126 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut fined for three years; and that they had appealed in vain to the Continental Congress for an exchange. They asked the Gov ernor for relief. (Clinton Pap., 5. 750-752) On May 27, one of the captive Officers, not named, described to Gov. Clinton the hardships and the neglect which they had endured. (Same ref., 5. 764-766) The condition and prospects of the Prisoners on Long Island were improved by an incident which took place on Dec. 10, 1777. Gen. Parsons, at that time, was carrying out an Expedition against the East end of Long Island. This proved successful, in the main. (Chap. 26) But, unfortunately, that part of it entrusted to Col. Samuel B. Webb, on the " Schuyler," accidentally met the British ship " Falcon; " and Col. Webb, Col. John Ely (Ap. I. 4) and over 60 others were made prisoners. (Hall's " Life of Gen. S. H. Par sons," pp. 134-136. Clinton Pap., 2. 608) On Dec. 18, Gov. Clin ton wrote to Gen. Putnam: " Colonels Webb and Eli's misfortune gives me real concern." (Clinton Pap., 2. 587) By this capture, Gen. Parsons lost two of his best friends and most faithful helpers. But to those who were already Prisoners the gain was appreciable. Col. Webb made long continued efforts for an exchange, in one case for Lt. Col. Campbell of the British forces; and, finally, being successful, he returned to the Army. (" Life of Parsons," as above. " Rivington," Dec. 12, 1777) AH through his captivity, Col. Webb was also moving for the exchange of other Prisoners ; and, most effectually, by the exertions of his brother James who was the Commissary of Connecticut, charged with the exchanges. (Rev'y MSS., 14. 105) Col. Ely, a physician of Saybrook, married a daughter of Rev. William Worthington (Ap. I. 15), the Minister in the West Parish of that Town. Early in 1777, Gen. Washington had become alarmed at the prevalence of small pox in the Army ; and he placed Gen. Parsons in charge of the inoculation of the Connecticut Troops. ("Life of Parsons," pp. 88, 89) Dr. Ely was a specialist in this work ; and, being confined with the Prisoners on Long Island, he continued his practice among them. His son, Capt. Worthing ton Ely (Ap. I. 4), led a sortie, captured a British Officer of equal rank, and made all the arrangements for an exchange. But his fellow Prisoners would not listen to the plan. They begged Dr. Ely to remain; and he did so until nearly the end of the War. By far the larger number of Prisoners to the British were con fined in, and about, New York City. The chief Prison was the Provost, constructed as a jail, in 1758. This building stood on the North East corner of the City Hall Park. Later, it was used as the Hall of Records, or Register's Office, until it was torn down in 1893 . It is stated that, after the capture of Burgoyne, the news was sent to Col. Ethan Allen, then a Prisoner, in a loaf of bread. When he read the concealed note he is said to have called down through the chimney to the Prisoners below : ' ' Shout , you rebels ! Burgoyne is taken." Another story is that, on Evacuation Day, Provost Marshal Cunningham refused to release his Prisoners Chapter Eleven — Prisoners 127 128 The Refugees cf 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut until Washington's Troops approached the Prison; and that he then threw down the keys at the door and made his escape with the last detachment of the British forces. Beside the Provost, several Sugar Houses were used as Prisons. They were: the Van Cortlandt, on the corner of Thames and Lumber Streets, demolished in 1852 ; the Rhinelander, on the corner of William and Duane Streets; and the more notable one at 34 and 36 Liberty Street, which was demolished in 1840. Even Churches, and other buildings were occupied as temporary Prisons. Among them was the Middle Dutch Church, at Nassau and Liberty Streets, afterward the post-office, one of the largest Prisons ; but, in the latter years of the War, it was used as a riding school for Cavalry. Other buildings used for jails were : the Brick Church, at Beekman Street and Park Row, now the site of the Potter Building; the North Dutch Church, Fulton and William Streets; Columbia College, at the end of the Park; the Bridewell, in the Park near where the City Hall now stands; the City Hall, then at Nassau and Wall Streets ; the Quaker Meeting House, in the present Pearl Street ; the Presbyterian Church in Wall Street ; the Scotch Church in Cedar Street, and the French Church in Pine Street. The two Episcopal houses of worship then standing, St. Paul's and St. George's, were not used as Prisons; and Trinity had just been destroyed by fire. The Methodist Church in John Street, and the Lutheran Church in the Swamp were also spared. Through the efforts of Lewis Pintard, Commissary of Prisoners, access to those in the City was made easy and systematic. Sup plies of flour, clothing, Sec, often came from the outside (Rev'y MSS., 31. 79. 2); but it is stated that the supplies did not always reach those for whom they were intended. All of the Prisons mentioned above being full, resort was had to a number of Ships formerly in use for the transport service, chiefly for cattle. The most noted was the " Jersey." Others were: — the "Scorpion" the "Falmouth," the " Good Hope," the " Chatham " and the " Prince of Wales." They were an chored in the channel between what is now the Cob Dock and the inner shore of the Bay, the old " Jersey " being at the West side, nearly opposite what is now the West entrance to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. While the deaths in the Prisons on shore were frequent, the mortality on the Prison Ships was far worse — - as many as 15,000 in the latter case. In 1808, the bones of many of the Prisoners were given public burial in Brooklyn, by the Tammany Society of New York; and, in 1826, a monument was erected to their memory at the Wallabout. In 1873, the bones interred by the Tammany Society, in 1808, were reinterred in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn, and, on June 16, 1900, still other bones, exhumed from the Navy Yard, were buried in the same Park, in what is known as " The Martyr's Tomb." On Jan. 1, 1777, about 200 Prisoners were taken from thw Ships at Brooklyn; and carried by a cartel ship to New Milford, Chapter Twelve — Civil Government 129 Connecticut, where 46 of them died. A Monument to them has been erected at that place. Still another Monument is in Trinity Church yard, New York City. Much has been written as to the cruelties practiced in all of these Prisons. It may be that Simsbury was partly to blame for them; and it may be that they were responsible, to some ex tent, for Simsbury. Whatever may be said, or claimed, none of the practices should have been allowed, whether at Simsbury, or in New York; and no such practices would be tolerated among civilized Nations to-day * EXCHANGES Much of the work of exchanging Prisoners was done by Lewis Pintard, mentioned above. Melancton Smith, of Dutchess County, was on a Committee to superintend the return of Prisoners from Connecticut. For Flags of Truce used in exchanging Prisoners, see Chapters 18 and 22. The many basic disagree ments between the American and the British authorities on the ratio of exchange was the cause of so large a number of Prisoners in, and about, New York City. There seemed to be no trouble in exchanging Officers. The disagreement came over the exchange of privates. A private in the British Army represented a large invest ment in transportation and maintenance. If captured, time and money were required to replace him. On the other hand, the Americans had the advantage of being at home. If they lost a Prisoner to the enemy, another man was readily forthcoming. The British authorities desired an exchange of privates, man for man — a scheme which the Americans did not favor, t CHAPTER TWELVE — CIVIL GOVERNMENT Those parts of the work of the Continental Congress which related to the small field of our inquiry are noticed, from time to time, in these several Chapters. The Secret Pact of 1775, how ever, was of great importance, for it followed closely upon, and was directly the outcome of the Associations. (Chap. 13) The Delegates from the Province and State of New York to the Continental Congresses, 1775-1782, will be found in Ap. A. 60. •See Sarah B. Kennedy's "Joscelyn Cheshire." f The disagreements are explained at length in the "Clinton Papers;" in Sparks' "Life oi Washington;" in Lossing's "Field Book;" and in. the "Penn. Mag. of Hist. & Biog." 1893. Much interesting information relating to the Prisoners may be found in the *' Haldimand Papers"; the "Dartmouth Papers"; Doniol's "French in the American Army"; and Brymner s " Reports." Lists of the Prisoners, oil both sides, so far as mentioned in the Rev'y MSS. in the N. Y. State Library, are given in " N. Y. in the Rev'n — Supplement." 130 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut THE PROVINCIAL CONGRESSES After an existence of 92 years, the New York Colonial (or Gen eral) Assembly finally adjourned on Apr. 3, 1775. The four Pro vincial Congresses met from May 22, 1775, to May 13, 1777. The earlier Delegates to the First Congress seem to have been elected, in Suffolk County at least, by the Committees of the several Towns. It is recorded that the Committees met at the County Hall on Apr. 6, and elected Col. William Floyd, Col. Nathaniel Woodhull, Col. Phineas Fanning, Thomas Tredwell, John Sloss Hubbard (Hobart) and Thomas Wickham. The Committees met again at the same place on May 5, and reelected Messrs. Wood- hull, Tredwell, Hobart and Wickham; apparently dropped Messrs. Floyd and Fanning; and added John Foster, Ezra L'Hommedieu and James Havens. The record of the first meeting was signed by Robert Hempstead, Chairman; that of the second, by William Smith Chairman. (Cred. of Del., 24. 19) In Queens County, on Apr. 12, Zebulon Williams was elected a Delegate from Oyster Bay; and Jacob Blackwell, from Newtown. (Same ref., 24. 9) On Apr. 17, John Talman was elected from Flushing. (Same ref., 24. 17) Later, (in July, 1775, when the greater part of the Associations were signed) the Associators of Suffolk County chose the Dele gates. In Queens County, there was opposition to such choice down to the end of the year. (Chap. 13) Indeed, there was always a question whether the Delegates from Queens had a good title to their seats. On May 9, 1777, the Congress ordered the State Treasurer to advance £200 to the County for the wages of the Deputies, " it being impracticable to assemble a County Com mittee therein." (Rev'y MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y, 40. 49) George Townsend was Chairman of che Queens County Committee. Peter Van Brugh Livingston was President of the First Pro vincial Congress; and Nathaniel Woodhull was one of the Presi dents Pro Tern. Woodhull was President of the Second and Third Congresses, and one of the Presi- 1 s~\ * dents of the Fourth Congress. jj£ yi££W>W^ Livingston was Treasurer of the &/^ three Congresses after the First. Pierre Van Cortlandt (Ap. I. 13) was one of the Presidents of the Fourth Congress. The First Provincial Congress formed the Committee of Safety, from its own Members, with power to open all letters directed to the Congress and to answer the same ; to examine Suspected Per sons ; to take such measures as they . should think proper to carry into execution all orders, resolutions and recommendations of the Continental Congress; to comply with any requisitions made of the Generals of the Continental Army; to superintend and direct the Military affairs of the Province ; and to convoke at any time the Provincial Congress should emergency require it. The Committee, therefore, seemed to be superior to the Congress. At the conclusion of the last Provincial Congress, the Chapter Twelve — Civil Government 131 last Congress, or Morris carried a fftr&f Council of Safety was appointed to have power during the few months preceding the first meeting of the Legislature at Kings ton, Sept. 10, 1777. This Council also had great powers, but they were not so great as the powers delegated to the Committee of Safety. Just before the final adjournment of the Convention, on Mar. 18, 1777, Gouverneur motion that the Delegates be allowed to smoke in the Convention Chamber "on account of their health being endangered by the effluvia from the jail below". (Proceedings Prov'l Conv'n) More detailed information as to the Provincial Congresses, the Committee of Safety and the Council of Safety is contained in " New York in the Revo lution — Supplement," pp. 104-1 5 2 . The Delegates to the Provincial Congresses from New York County and from the Counties on Long Island will be foundin Ap. A. 56-59. The migratory character of the several Congresses is re lated in the last named refer ence. The Records of the Co lonial Assemblies and of the earlier Congresses were kept in New York City as long as the sessions were held there. But, by March, 1776, the threat ened invasion of the enemy caused the Records to be taken from the house of Nicholas Bay ard by a Committee of the Convention, consisting of Abraham Hasbrouck, Joseph Gasherie, Christopher Tappen and Dirck Wynkoop. On June 6, the Rec ords were put on board of a vessel and taken to Kingston, New York, where they were stored until October, 1777. (Rev'y MSS., 30.48; 31.43) Then they were removed fur ther inland, on account of the disasters to the American arms in the Highlands. Much of the outside work of the Con gresses was carried on by ex- „ „ presses. (Ap. C. 218) Old Court House, Kingston, N. Y. f Stadt Huis, Albany 132 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut THE LEGISLATURES New York declared itself an Independent State by adopting the first Constitution, at Kingston, on Apr. 20, 1777. This re markable document was penned by John Jay; and intimately associated with him were Gouverneur Morris (Ap. I. 9) and Robert R. Livingston. An out line of its provisions appeared in the " Magazine of American History " for April, 1887. The Council of Appointment, a revival of the Colonial Execu tive Council, was formed with autocratic powers. While such powers were necessary during the remainder of the War, yet the abuse of them became so great that the Council was abol ished, in 1 82 1. In July, 1777, Gen. George Clinton took the oath, as first Governor, in front of the old Court House, at Kingston. He had left his duties in the High lands; but, immediately after assuming the office, he returned to the Highlands, only to meet with disaster at Forts Clinton and Montgomery. (Chap. 5) The first Legislature met, at Kingston, Sept. 9 to Oct. 7, when it adjourned at the approach of the enemy. The Senate met in the old Senate House, with ^j , Pierre Van Cortlandt as the ^^///^W^ S^y . President. Robert Benson gf==> — - *" — jy< and John McKesson had *~ ' ^ been Secretaries to several of the Provincial Congresses. Benson now became Secretary of the Senate; and McKesson, of the Assembly. The Legislature met, in 1778, at Poughkeepsie. Later Legislatures met there; and also in New York, and in the old Stadt Huis, in Albany. The Federal Constitution was ratified, at Poughkeepsie, in 1788; and, in 1789, Washington took the Oath as President of the United States on the balcony of Federal Hall in Wall Street, New York City. The members of the Legis lature, 1 777-1783, from New / z Chapter Twelve — Civil Government 133 eStTl&Hs c/COtS. York County and from the Counties on Long Island will be found in Ap. B. 43-48. By a law of Mar. 21, 1781, the office of Surveyor-General was revived so that two Regiments might be raised on Land Bounty Rights. Gen. Philip Schuyler was the first incumbent. He took a Census in 1783. In the following year, he was succeeded by Simeon DeWitt (Ap. I. 4) who held the office until 1835. TEMPORARY GOVERNMENT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT As the War drew near to a close the Legislature began to make laws for what was known as The Southern District, the most of which had been occupied by the enemy. .The District included the Counties of Kings, New York, Queens, Richmond, Suffolk and Westchester. On June 29, 1 7 7 8 , a preliminary law was passed . A law of Oct. 23, 1779, provided for a Temporary Government in this District " whenever the enemy shall be dispossessed, and before the Legislature can convene." On Mar. 27, 1783, the above law was amended so that those in authority might make any Convention with the Commander-in-Chief of the British force for speedily obtaining possession of the Southern District. A final law was passed on May 12, 1784. The Council which had this work in charge, consisted of Abra ham Becker, Egbert Benson, Jeremiah Clark, Gilbert Cooper, Daniel Dunscomb, Gilbert Drake, John Sloss Hobart, Jacob. G. Klock, John Lansing, Jr., Johannis E. Lott, William Malcomb, Richard Morris (President) , Henry Rutgers, Jacobus Swartwout, Rutger Van Brunt and Peter Pra. Van Zandt. Of these, Hobart was a Refugee from Long Island to Connecticut. 134 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut As the enemy gradually abandoned the outlying Counties and concentrated all of his forces in New York, he was closely followed by the Council. So that, in Westchester County, we find that a Civil Government was established in May, 1783, six months before the final Evacuation of New York City. (Rev'y MSS., 31.19) The Evacuation, and the remarkable " entertainments " attend ing the same, are described in Chapter 19. THE FINANCES The Accounts of Abraham Lott, the last Treasurer of the Colony of New York under the Crown, had not been settled when Peter Van Brugh Livingston (Ap. I. 7) took charge, as Treasurer of the Provincial Congress. (Rev'y MSS., 30.31, 44, 46) His receipts — June 17, 1775, to Apr. 26, 1776 — were £161.823. 3s. 9<1. (Same ref., 32.2) The Vice-Treasurer was Gerard Bancker. (Ap. I. 2) His Accounts began Aug. 28, 1775; and ended Mar . 3 1 , 1 7 7 8 , on his appointment as State Treasurer under the First Constitution. (Same ref., 30.69) This office he held for 20 years — Apr. 1, 1778 to Mar. 16, 1798. During this time he had settled with nearly all the creditors of the State, and with the United States. During the War, the iron chest of Treasurer Bancker became his toric. It was moved about, like the Provincial Congress, from Rochester to Hurley, Poughkeepsie and Kingston. The contents of the Treasurer's chest comprised a miscellaneous lot of Securities ; including English Money, and the Money issued by the Conti nental Congress, the Provincial Congresses and the State — all of it in various stages of depreciation. There were also Certificates: Claim, State Agent's, Levy, Depreciation, Principal, New Principal and Interest. The chest also contained the fines paid by Quakers who did not serve in the Army ; the amounts paid in by the Com missioners of Forfeitures, and other bodies which worked in special lines; and debts due to Tories, or Suspected Persons, which became debts due to the State of New York. The Treasurer paid bills for expenses incurred during his term of office; and also bills which had come from the Treasurer of the Provincial Congress. The Exchange of State and Continental Securities, directly after the War, was conducted by a Board of Commissioners consisting of William Denning, Henry Remsen and Comfort Sands. The latter was the Auditor-General from July 24, 1776 to Apr. 8, 1782. (Rev'y MSS., 32. n, 13, 92) When the effects of the late Gen. (Lord) Stirling were sold, m 1783, Treasurer Bancker bought a larger iron chest, which he used to the end of his term of office. On retiring from office, the Treasurer availed himself of the privilege of those days, and took the chest with him. A hundred years later, in 1898, the chest was Chapter Twelve — Civil Government i3S City Hall, Later Federal Hall, New Yoke City Old Senate House, Kingston, N. Y. 136 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut sold, with many other interesting effects, for the estate of the late James A. Bancker, in Philadelphia. Three days after Mr. Bancker's retirement from office, a law was passed, Mar. 19, 1798, directing that all the Papers in the hands of the late Treasurer, should be lodged in the Office of the State Comptroller. (Same ref., 32.14) The papers remained in that Office until 19 10; when, as a part of the "Revolutionary MSS." they were transferred to the New York State Library. By 1777, the Continental paper money had depreciated so much that it was of little value ; and it was contrived to borrow money for the use of the Army from the Whigs of Long Island. Perfect secrecy was preserved in these transactions; but before the year 1782, loans to a large amount had been obtained. Maj. Hendrick Wyckoff crossed the Sound frequently, and was concealed in the house of Peter Onderdonk at Cow Neck; from thence he came to the house of his father at New Lots. By this means a large amount of money was procured, and safely conveyed to the headquarters at Poughkeepsie. Among those who contributed were John Car 11, and Capt. Thomas Wicks — both Refugees from Long Island to Connecticut. It is said that $200,000 was advanced by the farmers of Kings County. It was also decided that exchanges should be effected of con fidential Officers, who were to be agents in these transactions; and Col. William Allison, a Prisoner, was the first to receive a loan. After his exchange, he carried a considerable amount to Gov. Clinton. The details of these transactions are given in Chapter 1 1 . On Oct. 14, 1780, the New York Legislature authorized the Governor to appoint Commissioners to Procure a Sum in Specie for the Redemption of one sixth of the Bills emitted under the Act of the Congress of Mar. 18, 1780. They were also to dispose of Forfeited Lands. It was provided that when the Commissioners of Specie began to act, the Commissioners of Forfeitures should cease to sell Lands, except those already advertised for sale. The Commissioners of Specie thus became a sort of connecting link between the Commissioners of Sequestration and the Commis sioners of Forfeitures. They were: David Gelston, John Lan sing, jr., Maj. Jonathan Lawrence, John H. Sleght and Christopher Yates. Of these, Gelston and Lawrence were Refugees from Long Island to Connecticut. The power to audit Claims against the State of New York was given to the Auditor General soon after the formation of the State. Two incumbents held the Office down to 1797, when the Comp troller succeeded the Auditor-General. The Comptroller inherited all the valuable papers of the Auditor-General relating to the Revolutionary War. The first Auditor General, Comfort Sands, was appointed by the Fourth Provincial Congress, or Convention, July 24, 1776; and he held the Office until Apr. 8, 1782. His salary was £300. a year. Among his duties was that of certifying to the correct- Chapter Twelve — Civil Government 137 ness of the Treasurer's Accounts. He was succeeded, as Auditor General, by Peter Theobald Curtenius, Apr. 8, 1782; who held the Office until Samuel Jones, the first Comptroller, was appointed, Mar. 15, 1797. Mr. Curtenius had already served as Commis sary. (Chap. 9) Mr. Curtenius had more labor- ,.,, , ,,. ious duties than those of Mr. - — VO tf^g^^^yisc^^zt^y Sands. The War being nearly at an end, the claims were more numerous, and the Currency was in a state of confusion. When the War ended, the claims of New York against the United States were of the most importance. It became the duty of the Auditor-General to settle such claims; or, at least, to advise the several Commission ers what should be done. In this work, /C^rCrvu*/ *^^W»3 Mr. Curtenius proved to be one of the lead ing financiers of his time. He was, prob ably, second to no one in the State of New York, aside from Alexander Hamilton. Mr. Curtenius had an accurate knowledge of every debtor to the State. It is unfortunate that both the Auditor-General and the Treasurer left few papers giving an account of the Moneys actually received and expended. Setauket Harbor THIRD DIVISION — EFFECTS OF THE BATTLE OF LONG ISLAND — THE REFUGEES CHAPTER THIRTEEN — THE ASSOCIATIONS In the First and Second Divisions (Chapters 1-12), we have told a short story of the Revolutionary War; and we have given an outline of the service therein, both Military and Civil. All of these matters concerned the people of America, as a whole. In this Third Division (Chapters 13-20), we proceed to show who the Refugees from Long Island and New York City were, and why they were called by that name. Then, in Division Four, we resume the story of the War in so far as it was of local interest to Connecticut and to those parts of the State of New York known as Long Island and Westchester County — a story in the making of which the Refugees had a considerable part. To a large extent, the Battle of Golden Hill (Chap. 2) and similar demonstrations were the outcome of what had transpired in the Colonial Assembly of New York. That body, on Nov. 29, 1769, had concurred in the Virginia Resolutions declaring that the Colonial Assemblies, alone, had the right to tax; but it had cut the claws of this declaration by furnishing supplies to the Troops. A denunciatory circular, prepared by Alexander McDougall, was published; and, for this, McDougall was imprisoned. Later, he was a Refugee from New York City, and a Major General. PRELIMINARY EVENTS IN 1 7 74 Three Parties arose, in New York City, as a result of the re taliatory measures directed against Boston, in 1774. The As sembly was dominated by the " Peace Party." The People were divided between the " Tribunes," mostly mechanics, who favored the Boston plan of a suspension of trade; and the " Patricians," the lawyers and others, who sought unity of effort in a General Congress. The latter prevailed; and the Committee of Fifty- One was appointed, May 16, 1774. (Ap. H. 1) On June 17, the inhabitants of East Hampton, on Long Island, voted to defend the liberties of British America; to cooperate in order to be saved from the burdens they feared; and to sustain a non-importation agreement. (Ap. H. 1) On June 21, the Town of Huntington, also on Long Island, went still further in a " Declaration of Rights," maintaining that the taxes laid by Parliament were unconstitutional ; and that any means to enforce such taxes were subversive of Constitutional liberty. (Ap. H. 2) On Nov. 15, 1774, the Committees of Correspondence for the County of Suffolk, New York, met at the County Hall at Suffolk (138) Chapter Thirteen — The Associations 139 Court House, now Riverhead. It was recommended to the several Towns to send a subscription for the employment and relief of the distressed poor in Boston, and to procure a vessel to receive and carry donations to that City. The proceedings of the Con tinental Congress, which had met in Philadelphia, Sept. 4, 1774, were also approved. The Committee of Fifty-One, in New York City, was dissolved, in November, 1774, having served its purpose of securing united action. It was succeeded by a Committee of Sixty, elected on November 22. (Ap. H. 2) This Committee, in March, 1775, issued a call to the several Counties in the Province of New York to elect Deputies to a Provincial Convention to be held in New York City on Apr. 20; the Convention to choose Dele gates to the Continental Congress. This action by the Com mittee followed the refusal of the General Assembly to elect such Deputies. The Convention, having elected the Deputies, ad journed on Apr. 22. While action was being taken by the several Committees, the private citizens, especially in New York City, were stirred by a succession of what were called " broadsides," varying in size from a hand bill to a large poster. They dealt with every real, or fancied abuse, over such names as " Brutus," " Cassius " and the like. The main subject of discussion was the dispute with England; but many broadsides were aimed at the Episcopalians and the lawyers. THE COMMITTEES OF 1 775 IN NEW YORK CITY The "broadside" was of little use after Apr. 23, 1775, when the news of the Battle of Lexington arrived. The time for talk and writing was over; and the time for action had come. The Committee of Sixty, on Apr. 26, issued a call for a meeting to be held on May 1 for the purpose of electing a Committee of One Hundred. This was done; and the new Committee became known as the Provisional War Committee, the Committee of Resistance, or the Committee of Safety of New York City. (Ap. H. 3, 4) Acting on the suggestion of the Continental Congress, the inhabitants of the City, on Apr. 29, 1775, adopted a Form of Association pledging support to the Continental Congress and to the Provincial Convention. This form was sent to all the Counties in the Province of New York. The full text of the Form appears in Ap. H. 4; a reduced fac-similie, as signed on Shelter Island, appears on page 141. It will be noted that the signers pledged themselves to follow their respective Committees in sus taining the Congress and the Convention. Down to this time, while nearly all the Members of the Com mittees of 51, 60 and 100 were opposed to the Home Government, yet there were many Loyalists on those Committees. But after the Committee of 100 had commenced its work, the Loyalists gradually dropped out ; and thenceforth the dwellers in every com munity were either Associators or Non-Associators. 140 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut THE ASSOCIATION ON LONG ISLAND In Kings County the Association seemed to make no headway. If the pledge was signed, no documentary evidence exists as to the fact. Indeed, while Suffolk County had acted affirmatively six months before, and while Queens County was unwillingly signing the Association, Kings County, by a petition dated in December, 1776, was congratulating Gov. Tryon and pledging itself to the Crown. (Ap. H. 5) The attitude of Queens County was of unusual interest. On Sept. 27, 1775, the Provincial Congress received a letter from the Committee of Great Neck and Cow Neck, consisting of Daniel Kissam, Henry Stocker, William Thorne, Benjamin Sands, Wil liam Cornwell, John Cornwell, John Mitchill, Sen., John Burtis, Simon Sands, Martin Schenck, Daniel W. Kissam, Peter Onder- donck, Adrian Onderdonck and Thomas Dodge. They com plained that they could not take proper measures for their com mon safety while considered as part of the Township of Hempstead. Therefore, they resolved not to be considered a part of that Town ship ; except so far as was consistent with peace, liberty and safety ; but, instead, they declared themselves to be an entire, separate, and independent beat or district, so long as the general conduct of the people of Hempstead was inimical to freedom. (Thomp son's " Long Island," 1. 198, 199) Some of these Committee men afterward signed the Association. (Ap. H. 6) A few also signed elsewhere. (Ap. H. 7) With these two exceptions the original form of Association (Ap. H. 4) was not used in Queens County. On Nov. 5, 1775, the inhabitants of Jamaica refused to vote for seven Deputies to the Provincial Congress. The vote was: Ayes, 221; Noes, 747. When news of this action reached the Continental Congress, measures were taken to disarm all of the disaffected. (Mil. Cte. 25.107) Hearing of what was to come, the inhabitants of Queens County, on Dec. 6, signed a declaration asserting their right to carry arms, and asking to be let alone. (Ap. H. 8) But the Continental Congress was determined. Col. Nathaniel Heard, with 600 Minute Men and 300 Regulars, came to the County and took over 1000 Muskets, and other firearms, from the disaffected (Onderdonk's " Queens Co.," pp. 40-47); for which Thompson (" Long Island ") states payment was made. Persuaded, or rather coerced, by this treatment, the inhabitants of Queens County, on Jan. 19, 1776, signed a modified form of the Association, together with a statement that they had delivered all of their arms to Col. Heard. (Ap. H. 9) A few who did not sign were summoned before the Continental Congress. (Pet. 32.89) The disaffected had evidently grown in numbers by Oct. 21, 1776, on which date David Colden, for the Inhabitants of the County, wrote to Gov. Tryon whose term of office, (according to the decree of the Provincial Congress) had expired on Apr. 19, preceding. (Ap. H. 9) Colden described his opponents as " diso bedient," and his friends as " well-affected; " and he looked for- Chapter Thirteen — The Associations 141 A General Affociation, agiyed to, and fubfcribed by the Freeholders.

(G. W. C., as above) Returning, now, to the party which attempted to settle in Queens County, and was driven out by the Dutch — we find the begin ning of Southampton in a paper dated June 12, 1640, by which James Farrett conveyed to Edward Howell, Daniel Howe, Job Sayre, and their associates all land " lying and being bounded between Peaconneck and the Easternmost Point of Long Island with the whole breadth of said Island from Sea to Sea with all land and premises contained in said limits, except those lands already granted by me to any person. * * they being drove off by the Dutch from the place where they were by me planted, to their great damage." A tract eight miles square was located by an instrument, dated July 7, 1640, witnessed by Thomas Dexter and Richard Walker, and signed by Farrett. It con veyed this property to Edward Howell, John Gosmer, Edmund Farrington, Daniel Howe, Thomas Halsey, Edward Needham, Allen Breed, Thomas Sayre, Henry Walton, George Wells (or Welby), Wm. Harker and Job Sayre. The Earl of Sterling con firmed the instrument of July 7, on Aug. 20, 1640. According to Mr. George W. Cocks, this was the same party that was driven from Matthew Garretson's Bay. There also came to Long Island many Huguenot settlers who mingled freely with the other settlers. They did not establish themselves in any one place. Among them we find the names of Bonticu, Bouseau, Boisseau, Casset, Elderan, Fournier, Lefoy, L'Hommedieu, Pierrepont and Pelletreau.

I.," p. 13) gives the order in which the several Towns on Long Island were settled : Brooklyn, 1636 Flushing, 1645 Newtown, 1655 Flatlands, 1636 East Hampton, 1648 Jamaica, 1656 Gardiner's Island, 1639 Flat Bush, 1651 New Utrecht, 1657 Southold, 1640 Shelterisland, 1652 Bushwick, 1660 Southampton, 1640 Huntington, 1653 Smithtown, 1663 Hempstead, 1644 Oysterbay, 1653 Islip, 1666 Gravesend, 1645 Brookhaven, 1655 EMIGRATION TO NEW ENGLAND By this time — 1 640-1 642 — there was a check in the emigra tion to the New England Colonies. Bancroft (" United States," 1. 414-415) states that the Reformation of Church and State, the attainder of Strafford and the impeachment of Laud, the great enemy of Massachusetts, caused all men to stay in England in expectation of a new world. He further states that 298 ships had brought over 22,200 emigrants to New England before the assembling of the Long Parliament ; and that the cost of the Plan tations had been almost $1,000,000. In a little more than 10 years, 50 towns and villages had been planted; and between 30 and 40 churches, built. This decreased emigration, it should be observed, did not retard the settlement of Long Island. 162 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut CONFEDERATION OF LONG ISLAND WITH NEW ENGLAND From what has gone before, it will be observed that the greater part of Long Island was settled from Connecticut and Massa chusetts. A still closer bond of union came, on Mar. 29, 1643, when a Confederation was formed, styled, "The United Colonies of New England." The constituent parts of the Confederacy were : Massachusetts Bay, with 30 Towns; Plymouth, with eight Towns; Connecticut, with six Towns, including, Saybrook and South ampton; and New Haven with five Towns, including Southold. (Palfrey's " New England," p. 275) Southampton came under the protection of the New England Colonies, in 1644; Southold, in 1648; East Hampton, in 1657; Brookhaven, in 1659; Huntington, in 1660; and Oyster Bay, in 1662. (Wood, as above, p. 24) Writers upon Representative and Confederated Government have sought by the analogies of the Achaean League, of the Grecian and Roman Republics, of the Swiss Cantons, of the Dutch Republic, of the Iroquois or six Indian Allied Nations, of Ecclesiastical and Church government, to derive therefrom the origin of the government of these United States. Theories these, all far fetched. Our magnificent constellation of republics and their union were born upon our own soil, nurtured by successive generations of freemen, evolved from colonial childhood and " The United Colonies of New England." (Hon. Henry P. Hedges' "Southampton Address," — 1890) At a meeting in New Haven, in 1655, Capt. Thomas Topping, of Southampton, and Capt. John Youngs, of Southold, appeared with a letter, and urgently asked for powder and shot and aid, against Ninigret and the Narraghansetts. (Plymouth Col. Rec, 10. 149) The Commission to Major Mason to go to Southampton with 19 men, is dated May 15, 1657. (Conn. Col. Rec, 1. 299) Thus, for about 20 years, the Confederation proved a bond of strength for Long Island. The New Haven Jurisdiction and the Connecticut Government continued separately until Gov. Winthrop secured a Charter from Charles II., in 1662, merging the two. This was resisted by New Haven and Southold; but, finally, it was accepted. (Whitaker's ' ' Southold, " pp . 6 8-7 1 ) Southold had been under the New Haven Jurisdiction for 22 years when the Charter of 1662 was granted. The Town had an existence of but two years under that Char ter before New York proved its claim to Long Island. Then came the brief Dutch Restoration in New York; the defiance of the Long Islanders, backed by the Government of Connecticut;, and the final Peace, with Long Island owned by New York. (Whitaker, as above, pp. 68-71, 132 et seq.) RESPECTIVE CLAIMS OF NEW YORK AND CONNECTICUT Under the Charter of 1664, Granted by Charles to James, the Connecticut River was made the Eastern limit of his [Gov. Nicolls'] territory, and New York would thus embrace more than half of Connecticut, a large part of Massachusetts, including the Berkshire region, and all Vermont. But Con necticut, by its earlier Charter of 1662, was entitled to all the land to the Pacific ocean, — "the South Sea," as it was called,— or at least to the borders of the Dutch; and now it pointed out to the Commissioners that Chapter Sixteen — Relations Between Long Island and Conn. 163 to limit its boundary to the Connecticut River would deprive it of the best portion of its domain. The Connecticut Government, under Governor John Winthrop, had in fact laid out for itself an extensive Province; it ruled over all the East end of Long Island; it claimed control over " The New Haven Colony " and Stamford, and it had even intruded its officials into West chester County and occupied a part of New Netherland. But under Stuyve- sant a line was drawn limiting it on the West. New Haven, under Daven port's guidance, still refused to submit to the Hartford Government, and Stamford professed to be independent of both. The quarrel between the rival settlements was at its height when Nicolls, by his prudent compromise, founded the present State of Connecticut. (Wilson's " Mem'l Hist, of N. Y. City," 1. 311, 312) LONG ISLAND A PART OF NEW YORK It was a sore trial to the people of Long Island to come under the control of New York, with " Yorkshire " as the new name of their fair territory. And they had to share even that name with Staten Island. In the new Shire of York, Suffolk County was HALLOCK S NECK SOUTHOLD, 1.. the East Riding; Queens County, the North Riding; and Kings County, Newtown and Staten Island, the West Riding. Their relatives and friends were in Connecticut; and with that Colony they were affiliated by religious and social ties. History records that they paid four times, to as many successive Governors of New York, for the title to lands which had been theirs 2 5 years before the English supplanted the Dutch. Therefore, it was not strange that they resisted the arbitrary acts of the Colonial Governors for 100 years, even down to the time when events were rapidly bringing on the struggle known as the Revolutionary War. Their emigrant life began under Charles I. It was peaceful under the Protectorate. It was stormy under Charles II. and James II. The Revolution, William and Mary, and Anne proved to be none too friendly; while, under the Three Georges, their state grew worse and worse until the climax of 1775. All this was intensified because they were living under a Colonial Govern ment not of their choice. Their physical and commercial progress 164 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut was retarded. Still retaining the religious ideals of New England, they were shut off from participating in New England's prosperity by a political fate which linked them with an uncongenial Govern ment. A single incident is enough. When Gov. NicoUs had to issue a Proclamation, he was obliged to send it to Cambridge, in the hated Colony of Massachusetts Bay, for want of a printing press in his own Colony of New York. So that, when the emergency arose, through the British occupa tion of the Island in 1 7 7 6 , it was natural for the American Refugees to flee to Connecticut rather than to other parts of New York which were not yet in the possession of the enemy. Physically, Connec ticut was the nearest land; mentally, Connecticut was the most congenial. Hence " Over to the Main " was an expression which they often used in describing their flight. FORMER NAMES OF PLACES ON LONG ISLAND Various localities on Long Island, in Westchester County, New York, and in Connecticut, are now known by names wholly dif ferent from the names in use during the Revolutionary War. For instance, in Westchester County, the Saw Pits is now Port Chester. On Long Island, called Nassau Island, after the accession of William and Mary, we have these transformations — the first name mentioned being the older one: Old Parish, Jamesport; Steeple Church, Upper Aquebogue; Ashford, Setauket; Queen's Village, Lloyd's Neck; Drowned Meadow, Port Jefferson; Old Man's, Mt. Sinai; Hallett's Neck, Astoria; Success, Lakeville; Musketo Cove, Glen Cove; Franklinville, Laurel; Sagg, Saga- ponack; Rocky Point, East Marion; St. George's Manor, Mastic; Smithfield, Smithtown; Stirling, Greenport; Kachauge, Cutchogue; Oyster Ponds (said to have been the scene of Cooper's " Sea Lions "), Orient; Cow Neck, Manhasset; Cow Bay, Manhasset Bay; Cow Harbor, Northport; Newtown, Elmhurst. North Haven and New Suffolk were called Hog Neck. Martim- cough, or Hog's Neck or Island, was on the West side of Oyster Bay, Ketchebonock was a part of Westhamp'ton. The Fire Place, in East Hampton, nearest to Gardiner's Island, was used for signaling to the ferry. On the first settlement of Southampton, some of the settlers removed to another place, not far away; they then called the first settlement " Old Town." There was a settlement in the Wyoming Valley, Penn., known as Connecticut Farms; and probably another of the name on Long Island, but it has not been located. AGonnecticut Farms, in New Jersey, is now Union. In Thompson's " History of Long Island " will be found the boundaries of the several Towns of Suffolk County. It must be borne in mind that, in the Revolutionary days, the present River head was a part of Southold; that Babylon was a part of Hunting ton; that Gardiner's Island was, and still is, a part of East Hamp ton ; and that Nassau County was a part of Queens County. It is also interesting to note that, 100 years before the War, Grave send had been laid out as the English Capital of Long Island. Chapter Sixteen — Relations Between Long Island and Conn. 165 ANCIENT NAMES IN CONNECTICUT In Connecticut, we have a series of changes, quite as enter taining. Red Hill was the modern New Haven; Newfield, Bridge port; Horseneck, Greenwich; Middletown Upper Houses, Crom well; while long before the Revolutionary War, Newtown was not the modern Newtown, but Hartford. Pattaquasset was the Indian name for the first Society, or Parish, of Saybrook, now known as Old Saybrook. Pautapaug, Pattopaug, Pettipaug, Pettypog, Potrog, Potapauge, Potypoge and Puttypough — all these were old names for the Second Par ish of Saybrook, now called Essex and Deep River. Pachaug, Pochaug and Pochogue stood for the Third Parish, now West- brook. Pataconk and Pattaquonk were the names of the Fourth Parish, now Chester. Berlin was incorporated from the Town of Farmington. It had been known as the Parish of Kensington, in Farmington. In 1772, the Society of Kensington was again divided by the forma tion of the Society of Worthington. (Barber's "Hist. Coll. of Conn.," p. 65) Simsbury was named in 1670. In 1835, the Town of Bloomfield was incorporated. It had been known as the Parish of Wintonbury, being taken from parts of the names, Windsor, Farmington and Simsbury — Win- ton-bury. New Fairfield was incorporated, in 1740. It is North of Dan- bury. Killingworth was named, in 1667. Clinton was taken from Killingworth, in 1838. The Eastern part of East Guilford, now Madison, was called Hammonassett ; the dividing line be tween Hammonassett and Killingworth, now Clinton, being the Hammonassett River. Darien was formerly the Parish of Middle sex, in the Town of Stamford. It was incorporated, in 1820. Woodbury was named, in 1674. Roxbury was taken from it, in 1796. Portland was incorporated, in 1841, from Chatham. Gildersleeve is a post-office and school district in Portland. One Rope Ferry was across an inlet of the Sound, at the mouth of the Nyantic River. Another Rope Ferry, and probably the one most frequently mentioned, was at the mouth of the Con necticut River. Until very recently it was owned by the LeCount Family. In ancient times, the boat was pulled across by a rope. A new bridge now takes the place of the old ferry. The Pocatic River is mentioned several times in the movements of the Refugees from Long Island to Connecticut. As this name appears in none of the Colonial Records, 1678-1679, it is probable that the Paucatuck River was intended. This was on the Eastern Boundary of Connecticut. It was spelled: Pawatuck, Pauca tuck, Paukatuck and Pacatuck. (Douglas-Lithgow's "Diet, of American Indian Names." Also Conn. Colonial Rec.) Eight Mile River was an East branch of the Connecticut, emptying into it at Lyme. It is now called the Lieutenant River. Eight Mile Brook was an East Branch of the Housatonic, flowing into it at Oxford. Ripton was a Parish of Stratford which, in 1789, became the Town of Huntington. On a Map of Connecticut, about 1791, is 166 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut the word ' ' Landing ' ' on the Housatonic River opposite the mouth of the Naugatuck, about where Shelton is today. The Point of Rocks does not appear on any Map, but in Dr. Steiner's " His tory of Guilford " (p. 209) we find " In the harbor, on ' Point of Rocks ' to the East of the mouth of West River, is the Point House — There has been a hotel on this point since 1797 "; and again, " Another landing by the British occurred in December, 1777, when some unknown damage was suffered by Timothy Shelley to his house and goods at Point of Rocks." (p. 435) Dr. Steiner (p. 186), referring to the regulations for taking oysters in Guilford, mentions an ordinance of 1775 applying to oysters and clams on the flats in the harbor, North of a line from Point of Rocks to Hogsite Point. He also called it Hogshead Point. The latter name is in the " Topographical Atlas of Connecti cut," as the East point at the mouth of East River, in Guilford. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN — OVER TO THE MAIN The strategic center of the Eastern end of Long Island was Sag Harbor, the harbor of the interior village of Sagg, lying partly in the Town of Southampton, and partly in the Town of East Hampton. While the Settlements along the North coast had their own harbors, Sag Harbor was the natural place for debarka tion of all the Refugees from the Hamptons. Thus, Onderdonk ("Suffolk Co.," p. 48) _ wrote :"Septr. 15th. [1776] Wharves at Sag-Harbor crowded with emigrants." Doubtless the wharf principally used was the one for which, in 1770, several citizens of the Hamptons petitioned the Trustees of East Hampton for permission to build and maintain — it being on East Hampton territory. (East Hampton Town Records) Among the petitioners were Col. John Hulbert, Maj. Uriah Rogers, Capt. Elias Pelletreau, Matthew Jagger, Obadiah Jones, David Gelston and John Foster; who, as Refu gees, made use of the wharf in a way not dreamed of when it was built. Before the War, Sag Harbor was, in the State of New York, next in import ance to New York City. The products of farms and forests, hides, tallow, beef, pork, hoops, staves, cattle, horses, shoes, grain and salt fish, from all Eastern Long Island were shipped at Sag Harbor for the West Indies, and for trade in other markets. * * * The War changed all this. Her wharves, stores and houses were held by her adversaries. Her shipping was gone. Her trade was ruined. The products of her fields were seized by her foes and by professed friends. The aged, infirm, sick, dying and dead were without medical relief. * * * And while Saratoga and Yorktown gave relief elsewhere, yet Sag Harbor was the last to look upon the retreating ships of the enemy. (Hon. Henry P. Hedges' " Sag Harbor Address "— 1909) PREPARATIONS FOR THE FLIGHT The Committee of Southold had anticipated the result of the Battle of Long Island (Aug. 27, 1776) by sending its cannon Chapter Seventeen — Over to the Main 167 and ammunition to Saybrook. (Ap. A. 9) Two days after the Battle, the Convention recommended to the Inhabitants of Long Island " to remove as many of their women, children and slaves, and as much of their live stock and grain, to the main, as they can; and that this Convention will pay the expense of removing the same." (Ap. A. 13) This was the first general permission for the removal. As far as known, the County Committees issued few permits. The Committee of Southampton, however, issued a permit, on Aug. 3 1 . (Ap. A. 46) The enemy having discovered the exodus, tried to pre vent it, as was reported to the Convention on Sept. 7. (Ap. A. 15) "OVER TO THE MAIN" LONG ISLAND SOUND, NEAR GREENPORT, L. I. (From the Wood Studio, Greenport) On Sept. 18, the Governor and Council of Safety of Connecti cut resolved : That the Committees of Inspection in the several Towns where such dis tressed people come, be and they are hereby advised to provide such things as they shall judge necessary for the support of the people aforesaid, until the sitting of the General Assembly in October next, keeping an exact account of their expenses thereof, and that they lay the same with the circumstances of those people before said Assembly for such orders and advice as they shall give thereon. (Ap. D. 1) VARIOUS AUTHORITIES IN CONNECTICUT In the previous Chapter, it has been shown that it was both necessary and natural that the Refugees should cross to Con necticut. It now remains to show how the Civil and Military machinery contributed to their crossing. And here we are met, at once, with that characteristic of all communities in New Eng- 1 68 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut land — local self-government. Let an emergency come, like that of the sudden arrival of the Refugees, and the local Authorities were the first to meet it. In the earlier months of the exodus from Long Island, they had the power of deciding not only who should come over, but also who should go back; and they were autocratic. They described themselves variously. Sometimes they signed as " The Authority of " ; or " The Civil Authority of " ; or even as Selectmen, Justices of the Peace, or Committeemen. This confusion is misleading; and it should be explained. The Civil Authority of a Town rested with the men who had been appointed to act for the Town. Such Authority might be the Selectmen with a Justice of the Peace; or a Town Clerk with a Justice; or either the Selectmen or the Committee men; or even, singly, a Town Agent, or a Town Clerk. The names given below are of those, only, who had business with the Refugees from Long Island; and who appear in the several Appendixes which form Part Three of this work. Justices of the Peace — Abraham Davenport, Charles Webb (Ap. I. 14 ), and Benjamin Weed, of Stamford; Andrew Ward (Ap. I. 14 ), Augustus Collins, Elias Grave, William Starr, Samuel Brown (Ap. I. 2 ), Nathaniel Ruggles (Ap. I. 10), John Burgis and Thomas Burgis, Jr., of Guilford; Samuel Barker, of Branford; Caleb Cook, Eliakim Hall, Aaron Lyman and Caleb Hall, of Wallingford; John Felch, of Canterbury; Robert Fairchild, Daniel Judson and Samuel Whiting, of Stratford; Moses Shipman, Samuel Field, William Worthington (Ap. I. 15 ), Benjamin Williams and John Shipman (Ap. I. 11 ), of Saybrook; Joseph Clark, Nathaniel Chauncey, Matthew Tallcott, Seth Wetmore, Isaac Miller and Elijah Treadway, of Middletown; James Wadsworth, of Durham; Soloman Whitman, Silas Heart and Noadiah Hooker, of Farmington; Samuel Tracy and Elisha Lathrop, of Norwich; Jabez Chapman (Ap. I. 3 ), Dyar Throop, Timothy Gates and John Chapman, of East Haddam; Benjamin Payne, of Hartford; Aaron Eliott, George Elliot, John Pierson and Theophilus Morgan, of Killingworth; Ephraim Terry, of Enfield; Joseph Wells, of Haddam; Nathaniel Miner and Paul Wheeler, of Stonington; David Sage, of Chatham; Ezra Selden, William Noyes, Samuel Ely, Richard Wait and Dr. Eleazer Mather (Ap. I. 8), of Lyme. Selectmen — Joseph Church, John Skinner, Joseph Sheldon and Jonathan Bull, of Hartford; Stephen Norton, Simeon Parsons, Jr. and Phineas Spelman, of Durham; Isaac Bull and Ezekiel Rice, of Wallingford; Silas Dunham, Joseph Kellogg and Moses Bartell, of Chatham; Cad Stanley, of Farmington; Joseph Curtiss, James Booth and John Brooks, of Stratford; Daniel Cone, Ebenezer Emmons, Ebenezer B. Cone, 2nd, Ithamer Harvey, Ebenezer Cone, Jr. and Barzillai Beckwith, of East Haddam; Silo Knapp, Samuel Richards, Isaac Weed, Jonathan Warring and Charles Webb, of Stamford; Stephen Lane, Daniel Redfield, Aaron Kelcey and Martin Lord, of Killingworth; Chauncey Whittlesey, Hugh White, Elijah Hubbard, Amos Hosford and Thomas Goodwin, of Middletown; Joshua Huntington, Ezra Bishop, Andrew Tracy, Jr. and Jabez Perkins, Jr., of Norwich; David Parker and Joseph Parker, of Groton; Thomas Hoit, William Starr, David Bishop, Joel Tuttle, John Elliot, Ebenezer Fowler, Timothy Munger, Nathaniel Stone, James Munger, Jr., John Hotchkiss, Thomas Hart, Reubin Stone, Nathaniel Allis, Abraham Chittenden, Increase Pendleton and Nathaniel Hall, of Guilford; Asa Bushnell, Samuel Sanford, Simeon Lay, Abner Kirtland, Jeremiah Kelcy, Ira Bushnell and Joseph Spencer, of Saybrook. Committees of Inspection, so far as they were related to the Refugees, with their Chairmen and Clerks — Benoni Hilliard, Chn., of Killingworth; Joel Hays and Brewster Higley, Jr., of Simsbury; Humphry Lyon, Chn., of East Haddam; David Avery, of Groton; Nathaniel Brown, Chn., of Middletown; Chapter Seventeen- — Over to the Main 169 Timothy Jones, Jr., Jonathan Fitch, Abraham Agur and Hezekiah Sabin, of New Haven; Samuel Field, Clk., Richard Dickinson, John Cochran and Abraham Pratt, of Saybrook; Elijah Backus, Samuel Leffingwell, Jr., Elisha Fitch, Samuel Tracy, Jonathan Huntington, Azariah Lathrop and Dudley Woodbridge, cf Norwich; Joseph Mather, Chn., Elihu Ely, Clk., Marvin Wait and Thomas Mulford, of Lyme; Titus Hurlbut, Nathaniel Shaw, Jr. (Ap. I. 11 ), Marvin Wait, John Hempsted and Joseph Hurlbut, of New London; Dudley Woodbridge, Chn., Nathaniel Miner, John Denison and John Brown, Jr., of Stonington; Samuel Brown, Clk., Timothy Todd, Nathaniel Ruggles, Nathan Stone and Timothy Hill, of Guilford. On Aug. 31, 1776, The Committee of Inspection for Guilford, Connecticut, complied with the request of the New York Provincial Congress, asking the assistance of the Committee in removing the People and Stock from Long Island. Nathaniel Ruggles, Samuel Brown, Solomon Leete, Nathaniel Stone and Samuel Lee, Jr., were appointed to give such assistance. (Misc. Pap., 35. 143) In September, the Committee employed Capt. Joab Scranton, with his sloop " Humbrod " and his crew, to bring over many cf the Refugees, their effects and their stock. (Ap. C. 139) Among the stock were several hundred sheep which were suitably marked and put into the Guilford flock. (Ap. C. 217) The marks were, in some instances, the same which had been in use by the owners on Long Island before they came to Connecticut, and which were in use after their return to Long Island. In September and October, Samuel Brown, having bought the sloop " Polley "of Capt. Benja min Vail, loaned her to Capt. David Landpn who brought 237 passengers and their effects from Southold and Shelter Island to Guilford. (Ap. A. 20. Ap. C. 164) Samuel Brown was a brother-in-law of Capt. Landon. (See Landon, in " The Refu gees from L. I. to Conn") In August, 1776, the New York Convention requested the Com mittee of Saybrook to assist in the removal of stock from Long Island, and to aid such of the Inhabitants as wished to remove. The Committee, therefore, appointed Capt. John Cochran (Ap. I. 3) and Capt. Richard Dickinson (Ap. I. 4) to hire ships and to provide for the keeping of the Refugees at Saybrook until they could be removed elsewhere. (Ap. C. 42, 43) Both of the Captains were Members of the Saybrook Committee. In October, they hired Capts. Ephraim Jones, Ichabod Cole, Nathan Pendle ton and Noah Miller for this service. (Same ref.) At other times, they hired: Capt. Zebulon Stow (Ap. C. 144); Capt. Isaac Bates (Ap. C. 10); and Capt. John Vail. (Ap. A. 25. Ap. C. 177) The claims of the Saybrook Committee for expenses and services were £492. 19. 1 J and £57. 19. oj; which amounts were deducted from the total of all the claims by the Refugees, and " to be set- tied hereafter, they not being supported by proper vouchers." (Ap. C. 4, Nos. 36, 184) The State of New York, by a law of Apr. 21, 1787, provided "that the Treasurer of the State issue certificates to the Treasurer of Suffolk County for such sums, bear ing interest at 5 per cent, from Mar. 8, 1779, as he has received from the Committee of Seabrook and Guilford in Connecticut, for 170 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut cattle and sheep transported from the said County, and by them sold"; and the Treasurer of the County was directed to pay the same to the respective persons to whom such cattle and sheep belonged. Another law, on Mar. 9, 1790, declared that Whereas the Treasurer of the State having, on Sept. 28, 1779, received £639. 8s. 9d. from the Committee of Sea Brook, in Connecticut, in accordance with the law of Nov. 4, 1778, said monies having arisen from the sale of cattle and other effects belonging to the inhabitants of Suffolk County and for which no claimants appeared — the said Treasurer of this State is authorized to issue to the Treasurer of Suffolk County a certificate for said monies which shall be distributed by the Supervisors of said County to such of the inhab itants thereof as the said Supervisors shall determine the same to belong for their cattle and other effects so sold. Finally, Selah Strong, Treasurer of Suffolk County, signed the following : Received June 22d, 1790 from Gerard Bancker, Treasr., a Certificate for Thirty one Pounds & Seventeen Shillings, being the Specie Value of Six hundred and thirty nine pounds, eight Shillings and nine pence, on the 28th day of September 1779, which Sum was paid into the Treasury of the State of New York by the Committee of Sea Brook, in Connecticut, for Cattle &c belonging to the inhabitants of Suffolk County, and is now repaid in pursuance of an Act, entitled "An Act for the relief of Henry Haydock & others," passed the 9th day of March, 1790. Selah Strong Treasurer No. 47.752 — £31.17. — dated September 28th, 1779. (Revy' MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y, 49. 100) The Committee of Lyme, in a less degree, also employed Cap tains of ships to bring over the Refugees. Capt. William Johnson was thus hired, in Sept., 1776, as certified by Joseph Mather, Chairman. (Ap. C. 186. Ap. I. 8) The claim of this Committee for £333. n. 95 was not allowed, at first, for the same reasons which de layed payment to the Saybrook Committee. (Ap. C. 4. No. 187) On Feb .14, 1777, the Committee of Stonington made this statement : " These certify that the Committee of this place never engaged any persons or vessels to fetch any goods or famalys from Long Island: But that all that went from this place went at there Own Resque." This was in reply to a complaint by Capt. Isaac Sheffield that the risk he ran should be assumed by the Com mittee of Stonington, as such risks were assumed by the Com mittees of New London, Groton " and others Westward." (Ap. C. 212) OTHER AIDS TO THE REMOVAL On Sept. 15, 1776, Gov. Trumbull wrote to Col. Henry B. Liv ingston (Ap. I. 7) stating that he had left to the judgment of Col. Oliver Wolcott the direction of proper means to bring the People and Stock from Long Island — Col. Wolcott to use the services of Capt. Christopher Leffingwell (Ap. I. 7), of Norwich, and an armed vessel, at his discretion. (Misc. Pap., 34. 289) Col. Wolcott evidently acted promptly; for, in the same month, Col. Livingston made a raid in Suffolk County and took off 3,129 sheep and 400 head of horned cattle. (Hon. Henry C. Piatt's " Huntington Address,"— Chapter Seventeen — Over to the Main 171 1876) Acting by the order of Gov. Trumbull, Capt. Leffingwell hired two vessels which brought stock &c from Long Island to New London and Norwich. Capt. William Rockwell was Master of one of the vessels. Capt. LeffingweH's first report to the Governor, dated Sept. 16, 1776, stated that he had brought to New London families and effects, including 200 horned cattle and 500 sheep. His second report, dated Oct. 1, 1776, stated that he had brought over, and delivered to the Committee at Norwich, 152 horned cattle and 790 sheep. The New York Committee of Safety, Jan. 27, 1777, ordered that he be paid £130. 3. 4; and Capt. Henry Billings receipted for the same on the following day. (Ap. A. 32. Ap. C. 95) The Committee of New London, on Sept. 7, 1776, reported to Gov. Trumbull that several vessels had been sent to Long Island, and more were to be sent ; but it was doubtful if many more Refugees would cross, as those who were left seemed inclined to stay " and sub mit on as good terms as they can get." (Ap. E. 1, 2) How much they were mis taken is shown in the ' ' New London Gazette," of Sept. 22, 1779: " Last Friday 3 5 young men came from L. I. to Saybrook, who left their homes on account of being ordered to work on the forti fications on the West end ioJ^XtXZ /***?. ~M!*r~" the West Indies." (Onder- JsO donk's "Suffolk Co.," p. 87) ' On Dec. 24, 1776, the New York Committee of Safety ordered the State Treasurer to pay £44. 5 to John Field for services and expenses in transporting some of the Inhabitants of Nassau Island, with their families, stock, &c, to the State of Connecticut, by the authority of the Committee of New London. (Ap. A. 25) The Committee of Norwich, on Oct. 1, 1776, was authorized to proceed in the same way as the other Committees, relative to the Refugees and their property, and to lay its accounts before the New York Convention. (Ap. D. 2) THE RESPONSIBILITY CENTRALIZED On Feb. 20, 1777, the Governor and Council of Safety of Con necticut resolved to suspend for six weeks the operation of all restraining laws, so as to authorize the Civil Authority and the «f 172 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Selectmen of the Towns to allow and license boats for bringing the Refugees over ; having first made inquiry as to the integrity of the Refugees so applying, and on the condition that no deceit be practiced. (Ap. D. 6) On June 27, a Committeeof the New York Council of Safety reported, and the Council resolved, subject to the approval of Gov. Trumbull, that the entire responsibility of permitting the Refugees to come to Connecticut should rest with Obadiah Jones, Col. John Hulbert and Thomas Dering, or any two of them ; and that they were authorized to remove such of the Refugees as were willing from Connecticut to Dutchess County, New York, to be under the care of Abraham Schenck and Gideon Ver Valen. (Ap. A. 44) From this, it would seem that the Authorities of the State of New York intended that the removal to Connecticut should be only temporary. But the Refugees did not take kindly to a residence in Dutchess County, in the charge of two Commissioners who were already caring for a much less desirable class of citizens which had been brought out from New York City. ("N. Y. in the Rev'n- — Spt.," p. 119) On July 3, the Governor and Council of Safety of Connecticut ratified the action of June 2 7 , by the New York Council of Safety ; terminated the powers of the Authorities, Selectmen and Com mittees of Inspection in Connecticut; and placed the full respon sibility for removals to Connecticut, and trips to Long Island, with Messrs. Jones, Hulbert and Dering. (Ap. D. 7) In accordance with this, the New York Assembly, on Sept. 23, 1777, received a letter from Messrs. Hulbert and Dering, dated at Middletown, Connecticut, Aug. 26, 1 7 7 7 , asking for instructions as to permitting the Refugees from Long Island, to return thither. (Ap. B. 1) In January, 1780, the Governor and Council of Safety of Connec ticut took to themselves the power to regulate permits to bring families and their effects from Long Island. (Ap. D. 43) The experience of the Refugees in Connecticut and their home coming are described in Chapter 20. CHAPTER EIGHTEEN — THE SITUATION ON LONG ISLAND In the five Chapters preceding, it has been shown that the lines were drawn sharply between the Americans and the Tories; that the Battle of Long Island, on Aug. 27, 1776, so turned the tables that a large proportion of the former were forced to leave the Island; and that, as Refugees, they naturally turned to the nearest main-land, Connecticut, wherein dwelt a community con genial by ties of religion and kin. We have now to record the more unhappy lot of those who stayed at home. To this end the narrative is resumed from the point where it was dropped in Chapters 2 and 3. Chapter Eighteen — The Situation on Long Island 173 DISBANDING OF THE MILITIA On Aug. 28, the day after the Battle, Colonels Smith and Remsen were ordered to join Gen. Woodhull; and Gov. Trumbull was asked to send to the Island 1000 Troops from Connecticut. (Ap. A. 11, 12) On Aug. 29, the New York Provincial Convention received a letter from Col. Smith stating that he had orders to march his Regiment to New York, and there await further orders from the Convention. (Proceedings Prov'l Conv'n.) This body, having sent John Sloss Hobart and James Townsend as a Com mittee to advise and assist Gen. Woodhull, the Committee re ported, on Aug. 30 and 31 by letters from Huntington, that Gen. Woodhull had been captured, and the Militia had been dispersed. They came at once to Huntington and tried to rally the remnants of the Militia at that point. They ordered the Suffolk County forces to rendezvous there; and sent to Col. Mulford, of East Hafrnpton, to come and take the command. Col. Floyd, of the 1st Regiment was at the Continental Congress. Then followed reports from Officers of the 1st Regiment. Lt. Col. Gilbert Potter had gone to Connecticut. Maj. Jeffrey Smith had, on Aug. 29, ordered the four Companies of Brookhaven Militia to march at once to Piatt Carl's at Dix Hills, in Huntington. When they had marched as far as Epenetus Smith's in Smithtown, the Militia waited to hear from the Major, who had gone to Hunting ton to consult with Hobart and Townsend. At Huntington, Maj. Jesse Brush thought it unsafe to proceed. The Qr. Mr., Ebenezer Dayton, made a report. Capt. Samuel Thompson feared the force was too small, and dismissed his Company. Adjt. Philip Roe was in favor of making a stand. Maj . Smith returned to Smithtown; told the Militia that their force was not large enough to cope with the enemy; and advised that the Militia should disband. (Proceedings Prov'l Conv'n. Also Hon. Henry C. Piatt's " Huntington Address " — 1876) The New York Committee of Safety, on Sept. 3, recommended to the Committees of Westchester County and Connecticut to allow no armed soldiers to return to Long Island. (Ap. A. 14) On the same date, the Committee ordered Gen. George Clinton to apprehend and detain as many as possible of the men belong ing to the Regiments of Colonels Smith and Remsen (Clinton Pap., 1. 332); and, on Sept. 18, Gen. Clinton reported " none of Smith's or Remsen's Regiments have yet joined me, nor do I bslieve they intend." (Same ref., 1. 354) On Sept. 6, Lt. Col. Benjamin Birdsall wrote to the Provincial Congress, from Fishkill, stating that Col. Smith had discharged none of his men; " but when he parted with me, at New Rochelle, he intended to make a stand on the East end of Long Island. Most of his men, tho' scattered, are only awaiting further orders." On Sept. 12, Col. Henry B. Livingston wrote, from Saybrook, to his brother, Robert R. Livingston, Jr., that he had been obliged to retreat to Saybrook because most of the people thought the Island had been abandoned, and had taken the Oath of Allegiance 174 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut to the King; but he was about to set out for Huntington with 400 men; and, if successful, would yet save Suffolk County. (Proceedings Prov'l Conv'n.) On Oct. '5 , Gen. George Clinton wrote to Col. Livingston that the Convention had lately ordered the Regiment of Col. Smith to join him at Kings Bridge. Very few of the Regiment had reported for duty on account of the absence of Col. Smith on Long Island, and the dispersion of his men on the Island and along the Con necticut shore as far East as New London. Gen. Clinton therefore ordered Col. Livingston to gather all such men into his Detachment. (Clinton Pap., 1. 370. Also Chap. 7) They were ordered to rendez vous at New Haven on Oct. 21. 1 (Same ref., 1. 382) On Oct. 7, Mr. Hobart wrote to the Committee of Safety describing the situation of the inhabitants of Long Island; advising them to leave the Island; and suggesting that a Regiment of Refugees be formed. (Ap. A. 17) He also stated that Gen. Woodhull was dead; that he had just returned from a Council of War at New Haven ; that he had heard that 300 of the enemy, at Huntington, were trying to force the Long Island Militia to join the British Army; that success in that effort would cause most of the people on Long Island to leave ; and that the Convention should make more defi nite provision for the Refugees. (Proceedings Prov'l Conv'n.) The Committee of Safety, on Nov. 8, made provision for pay ing those men of Col. Smith's Regiment who were outside of the territory then possessed by the enemy. (Ap. A. 19) In December, certain arms and ammunition were brought from the East end of Long Island by Col. Livingston. They were delivered to Capt. Nathaniel Piatt, at New Haven; and, later, they were removed to Fishkill. (Ap. A. 22, 30, 36) FORTIFICATIONS AND HEADQUARTERS When the Americans deserted their defensive works in Brooklyn, on Aug. 29, 1776, the British occupied and strengthened them. Several of their best Regiments went to Newtown. They encamped along Middleburg Avenue, from the Heights of Blissville to Wood- side. Gen. William Howe made his headquarters in a house on the Avenue. Some distance further along the highway, toward Woodside, was the camp of the Queen's Own; and between that location and Gen. Howe's headquarters the Hessians had their camp. The officers of the Queen's Own occupied the old Brogaw house, in the rear of jwhich were the Hessian barracks. Nearly all of these relics of the Revolutionary time have been destroyed by the recent improvements of the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company. Huntington seemed to be the strategic base of the enemy. There was a small earthwork near the Episcopal Church. A larger Fort was on Gallows Hill, so named from the execution of two American spies. On the West side of Lloyd's Neck was Fort Franklin which the American Militia of the Town were com pelled to build. This Fort commanded the entrance to Cold Chapter Eighteen — The Situation on Long Island 175 Spring Harbor and Oyster Bay Harbor. A companion Fort, on the East side of the Neck, commanded the entrance to Hunt ington Bay and Northport Bay. (See the large map in Chap. 25) These Forts, together with the shipping of the enemy, protected the cutting and transportation of much of the wood used during •the British occupation of New York City. Gaines' " New York Mercury," June 28, 1779, gave this ac count of affairs in Huntington: The rebellious part of the inhabitants in this Town, who were kept in awe, while the troops were stationed east of us, are now become more insolent than ever, and publicly threaten to have ill the loyalists carried off to Con necticut. The principal of these miscreants (rebels), are Nathaniel Williams, Eliphalet Chichester, Stephen Kelsey, John Brush, Jonas Rogers, Marlboro Burtis and Israel Wood, several of whom smuggled goods out of New York to this place, for the sole purpose of supplying the rebels in Connecticut.

It was natural to expect retaliation upon the port which harbored many of the American Privateers (Chap. 24) ; but nothing serious had taken place before Arnold came. (Caulkins "New London, "pp. 524-534) Capt. Nathaniel Shaw, Jr. (Ap. I. 11), was the trusted friend of Gov. Trumbull, and the confidential agent of the Continental Congress. About his old stone house centered the more import ant transactions of the War in this locality. The New London County Historical Society has been fortunate in securing the house for a permanent home. Within its walls are, the Chamber oc cupied by Washington, Trumbull and other distinguished guests; the tables on which Washington and his Officers dined after the siege of Boston, and before the troubles about New York com menced; and relics of Arnold while he was still loyal to the American cause. (See p. 84) Chapter Twenty-One — Westchester County and Connecticut 199 As Naval Officer of the Port, Capt. Shaw had charge of the exchanges of American Prisoners of War. (Chap, n) He kept many of them at his house until they had recovered from their sufferings in New York City. It was while attending certain returned Prisoners that his wife, Lucretia, contracted a disease from which she died. THE INTERIOR PROTECTED While other places on the shore of Long Island Sound be side Stamford and New London were protected, none of them became prominent during the War except the Forts at New London, at the time of Arnold's Raid. (Chap. 26) The defences at Norwalk, Guilford and New Haven were inconsiderable (Same ref.) ; while the Fort at Saybrook was never attacked. And yet, however weak, all of these defences kept the British from penetrating the interior for fear of arousing the Militia by an Alarm ; or of their retreat being cut off by the loss of their boats. So that their efforts were confined to Raids (Same ref.), or to Excursions like the capture of Rev. Moses Mather and his congregation. (Chap. 22) Thus every one in Connecticut was safe, unless he dwelt within striking distance of the Sound. The upland communities, knew no physical disturbance from the War. Middletown, Simsbury and Hartford held Prisoners in security. (Chap. 11) Even Lyme and Saybrook were exempt from disturbances. Gov. Trumbull (Chap. 1) carried on the con flict, for Connecticut, from his War Office, in Lebanon ; while the women of Litchfield were secure when they melted the statue of George III. into bul lets. (Chap. 9) As Hon. Henry P. Hedges wrote ("Southamp- MOUTH OF THE CONNECTICUT RIVER (Drawn specially for this work) WAR OFFICE OF GOV. TRUMBULL — LEBANON, CONN. (From Lossing's " Field Book," i. 602) ton Address " — 1890) : European travellers in America about the time of the Revolution wrote of their surprise at the attainments and the brilliant conversation of the women they met in public assemblies, surpassing the female leaders of society in the capitals of Europe. When at a brilliant assemblage of the President and high government officials and foreign ministers at Philadelphia in 1790, the English Minister said courteously to Senator Tracy, of Connecticut, 200 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut " Your American women would be admired even at St. James;" his reply was — ¦ "Yes, I have no doubt of it, — they are admired even at Litchfield Hill." Middletown, Connecticut, was the resort of many of the American and French Army Officers when they were not in actual service — which circumstance may account for the eminently polite and hospitable character of the inhabitants to the present time. (Nicoll H. Dering's MS. Record of the Life of Thomas Dering — about 1 81 8). OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE CONTEST Toward the close of actual hostilities, in 1781, the march of Rochambeau and his Frenchmen from Newport to the Hudson River was an incident which deserves mention. This took place in the summer, after the important Conference at the Webb House, at Wethersfield. (Chap. 6) The route of Rochambeau was across the whole State of Connecticut. At Saybrook, he was entertained by Col. John Ely and his family. At Stamford, he made his headquarters at the historic Webb Tavern, sometimes known as the Old Washington House. (See p. 84) It is said that, Lafayette held a reception at the Davenport House on Davenport Ridge, about five miles North of Stamford.* CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO — PREDATORY EXCURSIONS From that moment [the abandonment of Long Island] the two coasts were hostile; and an inveterate system of smuggling, marauding, plundering and kidnapping took place on both sides, in comparison with which a common state of honorable warfare might be taken for peace and good neighborhood. On the Connecticut side this was done under the covert of secrecy. (Caulkins' " New London," p. 522) _ _ In Chapter 1 7 it has been related that, at first, the Local Author ities of Connecticut controlled the movement of the Refugees across the Sound; and that, after several months, the control passed from them to a Committee of the New York Provincial Congress. It was quite easy for the Refugees from Long Island to find an asylum in Connecticut. Not so, in regard to their temporary return; as they soon found to their consternation. DIFFICULT TO RETURN TO LONG ISLAND While the Civil Authorities of Connecticut had been superseded as agents through whom the Refugees might go back, the Author ities were alive as to the trips the Refugees desired to make to their former homes. So we find the Authority and Select men of Guilford, Branford, Haddam, and other Towns, giving permission to return, temporarily, while, at Saybrook, the power "H^CoS Chapter Twenty- Two — Predatory Excursions 201 was assumed by Capt. John Shipman, Jr., Commandant of the Fort. In other localities, it was delegated to Col. Jabez Chap man, Col. St. John, Col. William Ledyard, Brig. Gen. Andrew Ward, Brig. Gen. Gold S. Silliman and Jabez Hamlin, the Naval Officer at Middletown. On May 5, 1777, Gov. Trumbull addressed the Committee of Saybrook in answer to its query for instructions, through Obadiah Jones Chairman of the Committee having in charge the temporary return of the Refugees. He thought the Refugees should apply to the State of New York for directions as to their removal. He said that he should not, and advised the Committee not to, give Permits for such removal; and as to the removal of stock, " it will be serving the enemy." (Ap. A. 46) By this time, the Local Authorities of Connecticut were no longer allowed to give Permits, for that power had passed over to the General Assembly ; but the Local Authorities might recommend that Permits be issued. In January, 1780, the Connecticut Legislature passed a Resolution giv ing to the Governor, and to the Council of Safety in the recess of the Assembly, the authority to grant Permits if the persons applying were well recommended by the Civil Authority in, and Selectmen of, the Towns in which such Refugees resided; and " always pro vided they never give permission to carry on any kind of provision except stores for the voyage, nor to bring off any British goods or merchandize." (Ap. D. 43) Permits to go to Long Island by a Flag of Truce became more and more difficult to obtain as the War progressed. Much of the difficulty arose from the Predatory Excursions and the Illicit Trade. (Chap. 23) Finally, Permits were given sparingly by Gov. Trumbull. The Army Officers in Connecticut required good reasons before they would grant requests. Gen. David Waterbury was one of the most strict of the Officers ; and he spoke with author ity. (Ap. D. 49) In the end, but few Flags were allowed ; except for the exchange of Prisoners. (Chap. 11) A fac similie of a British Permit for a Flag of Truce is on p. 179; Gov. Trumbull's Permit, on p. 203. SAD PLIGHT OF THE REFUGEES There was good reason for occasional visits to Long Island by the Refugees. The greater part of them had left their homes on short notice, and with little provision for the future in money, clothing or food. Supplies of all must be had. They had been forced to abandon everything they could not lease or sell ; and even the leases were of little value. Stock, which could neither be taken away nor sold, was abandoned. The temporary return meant an almost hopeless effort to collect a rental ; the taking of a pitiful sum in barter; or ruinous mortgages on their land, the sole basis of their prosperity. While farming, as then conducted, was somewhat crude, yet meat, hides and tallow were among the more valuable assets; and shorn of these, they suffered. The Refugees were also deprived of hay and cord wood, which were easily trans ported by sloop along the Sound. But they had lost their vessels, 202 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut and they were compelled to furnish both wood and hay to the enemy. To these deprivations, add the suffering of their families from insufficient food and clothing, and the situation of the Refugees was most pitiful. Listen to the words of three of them: Your Memorialist was drove from the City of New York on the arrival of the British Troops with a large Family, and at a very Considerable Expence, arriv'd at this Place where he has Resided for more than Two Years past. From a Constant attachment to the American cause, he was obliged with his wife & family of small children to fly from his home in New York in the year 1776 & to take refuge in the Country, to the total stop and ruin of his business. Being firmly attached to the American Cause Took an Active part on principle of her Cause Being Just, and fearing we Should fall a. Sacrafice to the Relentless Rage of more than a Barbarous foe — ¦ removed with our wives and Little ones "into this State for refuge. See, also, Chapter 20. ABUSE OF PRIVILEGES The earlier errands of the Refugees to Long Island for supplies were necessary, as has been stated above; and the privilege of returning temporarily was not abused. Gradually, however, the zeal of some of them to injure the enemy led them to injure their own friends also. So that, even if the Refugees returned to pro cure supplies, they were liable to be robbed before they could return to Connecticut. It was then but a step to an active par ticipation in the Illicit Trade. The Predatory Excursions, there fore, became a connecting link between the legitimate efforts of the Refugees to procure supplies and the illegitimate Trade. As early as January, 1776, John Brickell, of Queens County, complained that he had been robbed. (Ap. A. 45) Rev. Samuel Buell (Ap. 1. 2), on Sept. 22, 1776, while the Refu gees were still fleeing to Connecticut, wrote " The people are as a torch on fire at both ends, which will be speedily consumed; for the Continental Whigs carry off their stock and produce, and the British punish them for allowing it to go. I hope the Whigs will not oppress the oppressed, but let the stock alone." On Sept. 2,1777, the Connecticut Committee of Safety approved a commission, issued to Capt. Peter Griffing, to guard the sea coast and Sound and Islands on the coast of that State, and to make Prisoners of such as he shall take in arms or carrying on War against these States. (Ap. D. 8) But, as there was complaint that Capt. Griffing had plundered certain of the Refugees, he was notified to appear before the Governor and Council on Aug. 18, 1778. (Ap. D. 8, 12) Gov. Trumbull also notified Capt. Jesse Leavenworth, on Aug. 4, 1778, to restore certain property which he had taken. (Ap. D. 12) On Aug. n, Gov. Trumbull wrote to Capt. Jonathan Vail and Capt. Jeremiah Rogers as to com plaints, which had been made, and directed them to appear before him and the Council on Aug. 18. (Ap. D. 16) The Governor also, on Aug. n, notified Capt. Peter Hallock and Capt. Jonathan Salmon to restore certain property which they had taken. (Ap. Chapter Twenty-Two — Predatory Excursions 203 D. 15) All of these Captains, with the exception of Leavenworth, were Refugees. Ebenezer Dayton, called by the enemy " the head of the ban ditti," made many daring Excursions from Connecticut. So com pletely were the inhabitants terrorized by "the Whale-Boat men " that they placed iron bars at their doors and windows.

TRUMBULL'S PERMIT FOR THE SILLIMAN FLAG OF TRUCE (p. 206) (Original owned by the Conn. Historical Society. Photographed specially for this work) worst of it was that the outrages often came from those who were supposed to be the friends of the outraged. This is nowhere else so clearly set forth as in the Memorial of Jonathan Havens and several other Refugees. (Ap. E. 4-9) THE PRACTICE APPROVED What should be expected of the private soldier, or of the non- combatant, when Gen. Parsons wrote this, in December 1776 : "to 204 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut encourage the brave and spirited to enter the service, the General promises them all the plunder they shall take from the enemy, to be equally divided among the officers and men according to their pay." The abuses which followed led Washington, on Jan. 21, 1777, to limit " the indulgence to scouting parties as a reward for the extraordinary fatigue, hardship and danger they were exposed to." (Hall's " Life of Parsons," pp. 86, 87) Even the Courts of Connecticut sustained the legality of the practice. Parsons brought a test case — William Scudder of Long Island vs. Lt. Col. Gray. The decision was that private property, within the Lines of the enemy, was liable to be plundered by any subject of the United States. On May 2, 1779, Parsons sent a copy of the proceedings, and his protest, to President Jay, of the Continental Congress; but it is evident that the Congress did nothing. A letter addressed by Parsons to Washington, on May 15, took strong ground against the plundering; and this letter, also, seemed to have no effect. (" Life of Parsons," pp. 242-244) The plain truth was that the plundering was backed by public sentiment. At a meeting of the Connecticut Council of Safety, May 22, 1779, it was voted, That his Excellency the Governor be desired to deliver to Col. Davenport three blank commissions to be by him filled up for persons to go to Long Island to take and capture the enemies of the United American States: Such persons as commissioned to give sufficient bonds not to plunder any of the inhabitants of said Island or to exceed the instructions that may be given them. (Conn. State Records, 2.346) EXCESSES OF THE PRACTICE " At 2 o'clock last Thursday morning, a party of twelve rebels seized at Coram, in Suffolk County, two wagons loaded with dry goods, the property of Obediah Wright of Southampton. These marauders had been several days on the Island, visited most parts, and committed many robberies; especially at the house of Col. Floyd, Setauket, which they robbed of goods, and cash to a con siderable amount; and took some property of Mr. Dunbar, who rides down the Island occasionally, and happened to lodge in the house that night." (" N. Y. Gazette," Feb. 16, 1778— as quoted in Thompson's " Long Island," 1. 206) On Oct. 22 and 23, 1778, Eleazer Whitman and Simeon Crossman robbed Arthur Dinge, Nehemiah Heart, Jr. and Philip Piatt, all of Huntington. (Clinton Pap., 4. 199, 200) Lt. Caleb Brewster wrote from Fairfield, Connecticut, Aug. 20, 1781, to Gov. Clinton that, on the 14th inst., about midnight, two boats landed at Miller's Place. The crew of one of them demanded entrance at the house of Capt. Ebenezer Miller; and asked for his arms; which were given up. His son, on opening an upper window, was shot dead. The other crew visited Mr. Andrew Miller, and when he opened the door " one of the party struck him with the breech of his gun, broke the bone over his eye, tore Chapter Twenty-Two — Predatory Excursions 205 his eye all to pieces, broke his cheek bone and left him for dead." Other parties plundered the houses of Simon Flint and Gilbert Flint, at Oyster Bay; and hung the latter until he was almost dead. Still other parties went to Great Neck and treated Maj. Richard Thorne and Esqr. Coulne in the same way. " There's not a night but they are over if boates can cross ; peopple cant ride the roades but what they are robbed." (Clinton Pap., 7. 233, 234) On Sept. 21, 1 78 1, a number of the inhabitants of Southold and Shelter Island protested to Gov. Clinton against the plunderers. They had been obliged to make Prisoners of some of those lawless men. On Friday, the 14th, two boats loads of them, from Con necticut, took sheep from Joseph Havens, at Southampton; and on the 15th they ransacked the houses of Nicoll Havens, Capt. James Havens, and the Widow Payne, on Shelter Island. On Sun day, the 1 6th, they landed at Southold, robbed David Gardiner, knocked down Joseph Peck, beat Mr. L'Hommedieu and his wife (" aged persons ") and threatened to fire the house of the Widow Moore. The complaint was signed, among others, by the Refugees Judge Samuel Landon, James Havens and Joseph Peck. (Same ref., 7. 343-346) Excursions of this sort were not confined to Long Island and Connecticut. In the neighboring County of Westchester, New York, we read that on Nov. 18, 1777, Gen. Tryon sent Troops to burn the houses at Phillips Manor, on the Hudson. The women and children were turned into the street, and the men were made Prisoners. In retaliation, the house of Oliver DeLancey was burned. (" Life of Parsons," pp. 127-132) Both the Whigs and the Tories had representatives among the roving bands which carried on this kind of warfare. Like all Tragedies, the Predatory Excursions were occasionally relieved by a Comedy. Certain raiders of the enemy were sighted one Sunday just before they reached Sag Harbor. It was time for the evening service; in fact, the bell was ringing. All of the village, maidens were told to join the choir, whether or not they could sing. The visitors were attracted to the Church by the melody; and the musical service was unusually long. In the meantime, the parents had buried the family silver and the visitors lost the object of their raid. To this day, the silver is occasionally uncovered in the back yards of Sag Harbor. EXCURSIONS AFTER PRISONERS Gen. Sir Henry Clinton, on May 1, 1779, put Ens. Glover in charge of eight men with the order to cross the Sound and capture Gen. Gold Selleck Silliman at his home among the hills of Fairfield County. This was done in the night. On returning, Colonel Simcoe of the Queen's Rangers cried out, " Have you got him?" "Yes!" " Lost any men?" "No!" " That's well! Your Silli- mans are not worth a man, nor your Washingtons!" It was then the turn of Gen. Silliman's friends to capture a Tory on Long Island. This they did, under one Hawley, on Nov. 6, 206 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut by breaking into the house of Judge Thomas Jones, who lived at Fort Neck, now South Oyster Bay. (Lossing's "Field Book," 2. 646) They re-crossed the Sound, and took their Prisoner to Fairfield; where, history records, Mrs. Silliman gave him at least one breakfast. (Schenck's " Fairfield," 2. 378 et. seq.) Gen. Silliman being a Prisoner at Flatbush, Long Island, a proposition that he be exchanged for Judge Jones was made Nov. 25, 1779. Gen. Silliman approved of it: and, on Nov. 27, it was approved by the British Commander-in-Chief, as attested by John Andre, Dy. Adjt. Gen. (Clinton Pap., 5. 387, 388) The exchange was evidently not effected until April, 1780, when Gov. Trumbull gave permission to Deodate Silliman and three Mariners to convey Judge Jones by water for the purpose of an exchange. According to Henry C. Piatt ("Huntington Address," — 1876) the exchange was made in the middle of the Sound, opposite Huntington. (P. 203) Rev. Blackleach Burritt (Ap. I. 2), of Greenwich, was taken Prisoner, in June, 1779, by an excursion of the enemy. He was confined in one of the sugar-houses in New York City for 14 months. Rivington's "Gazette," of June 23, had this to say: Some days ago a party of rebels came over to Treadwell's farm, Long Island, conducted by a Maj. [Jesse] Brush, and carried off Justice Hewlett and Capt. Youngs. Since which time the [Tory] Refugees went over to Greenwich in Connecticut, and returned with 13 prisoners, among whom was a Presbyterian Parson, named Burrit, an egregious Rebel, who has frequently taken arms, and is of great repute in that Colony. 48 head of cattle and 4 horses were brought in with the prisoners. The [British] Militia guard also have taken a whale boat with three solitary Jonathans [rebels] on board. Historically, the most interesting capture of Prisoners took place at Middlesex (now Darien), Connecticut, July 22, 1781. It was on a Sunday, and the Rev. Moses Mather had just opened the afternoon service in the Church, of which he had been the Min ister for many years. Without any warning, the Church was sur rounded by a band of Tories who had crossed the Sound in seven boats. Nearly all of the visitors were former residents in Middle sex; and then living, temporarily, on Lloyd's Neck. They were led by a former neighbor, Capt. Frost. A summons to surrender was given. The men and older youths were tied, by twos, arm in arm. Only a few escaped. With the Minister at the head, the line of march was taken to the boats. After reaching Lloyd's Neck, some were allowed to return on parole. Authorities differ as to the number of the captives; but it was probably about 50. Twenty-six were taken to the Provost, in New York City, where qfUzfeU "Wl&'&nfrt* tfjj) 7?L theywere confined until V ' the following December ; , , , , „ although arrangements had been made on Sept. 16, for the exchange of Dr. Mather Ihe latter was the special target of Capt. Cunningham, keeper oi the Provost; who announced, from time to time, that the Doctor was to be executed. The physical comfort of Dr Mather was attended to by Mrs. Irving, mother of Washington Irving Chapter Twenty- Two — Predatory Excursions 207 who sent supplies of food and clothing. Not all of the 26 Prisoners returned to Middlesex, for some had died in the Provost. (Hun tington's " Stamford," pp. 210-212. Lossing's " Field Book," 1. 414. " Life of Parsons," p. 401.) Huntington (p. 227) also states that previously, on Aug. 3, 1779, Dr. Mather and four sons had been captured at the parsonage and carried off to New York by eight Tories, of whom five were the Doctor's parishoners. EFFORTS TO END THE PRACTICE On Dec. 25, 1778, Gov. Clinton wrote to Gen. Parsons, in reply to a letter, that he had always been opposed to the sending of small parties to Long Island, except on particular occasions, and then under the conduct of a discreet officer, " because our friends FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, DARIEN, CONN. — SCENE OF THE RAID, JULY 22, 1781 were sometimes plundered by them." (Clinton Pap., 4. 199) He had given no authority to any of the parties, he wrote to Gen. Putnam on the same date. (Same ref., 4. 424) On Oct. 2, 1779, both branches of the New York Legislature concurred in a Resolution requesting Gov. Clinton to issue a Proclamation forbidding all persons to plunder the inhabitants of Long Island, or any other locality in the power of the enemy. It was declared that any offender should be punished to the utmost rigor of the law. It was further requested of the Governor that he should ask the Executives of Connecticut and New Jersey to issue similar Proclamations. This action produced little effect. In fact, says Onderdonk, the situation was still worse after the Spring of 1780 when the British Garrisons were withdrawn from Oyster Bay, Huntington and Brookhaven, and the works were demolished. ("Queens Co. — 2d Ser.," p. 15) 208 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut On Apr. 10, 1781, Ezra L'Hommedieu wrote to Gov. Clinton; from Middletown, relative to an edict by the Governor and Council of Connecticut giving permission to go on Long Island and take British goods from the inhabitants. By this means many good Whigs there have lost their all; and, some of them have come over to Connecticut to see if the Governor of one State has a right to take the property of the inhabitants of another State. He suggested that the Governor should remonstrate with Gov. Trumbull. (Clinton Pap., 6. 757, 758) In consequence of this, on Apr. 16, Gov. Clinton informed Gov. Trumbull of the facts and asked his assistance in suppressing the Raids. (Same ref., pp. 778, 779) On Apr. 27, Gov. Trumbull replied that the commanders of boats were under bonds of £2,000 each to follow instructions; that if the people of Long Island had suffered, they had their remedy at law; that the design of issuing commissions was to suppress dangerous intercourse; and that, if the good intention had been contravened, the perpetrators should be punished. (Same ref., pp. 803, 804) On June 7, Benjamin and Selah Havens wrote from Moriches to Gov. Clinton that they had been robbed by Capt. [Zebulon?] Stow, of New London, to the amount of £1,200; and that they had a list of the goods. They prayed the Governor to have the goods restored to them. (Same ref.,. 7. 19) Both branches of the New York Legislature again took up the matter, on June 28, 1781. A Resolution was passed declaring that the inhabitants of Long Island had a right to protection from the State of New York. The Governor was requested to lay the matter before the Congress of the United States; and to write to the Governor of Connecticut, showing the unhappy consequences which had arisen from his commissions authorizing persons to land and to take the property of the inhabitants of Long Island. The Clinton Papers (7. 176) state that, on Aug. 7, the Congress requested Gov. Trumbull to revoke all commissions to seize goods on Long Island, or elsewhere in the State of New York. On Aug. 20, Gov. Clinton wrote to Gov. Trumbull that he supposed the commissions to cross over to the Island had been given for the good of the common cause ; but he feared the evils were more than the good. He quoted the opinion of the Legislature that such commissions were illegal, and asked Gov. Trumbull to reconsider the matter. (Clinton Pap., 8. 234-236) Abraham Davenport had already written to Gen. Washington, from Stamford, Connecticut, on Aug. 10. He mentioned the ex posed situation of that locality; and stated that, within a short time, several inhabitants had been killed or wounded, and 60 had been made captive and robbed of their property. He asked that a part of the Army might be detached as a guard. (" Life of Parsons," p. 391) Chapter Twenty-Three — The Illicit Trade 209 CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE — THE ILLICIT TRADE The Predatory Excursions, as we have seen in the preceding Chapter, were often undertaken as a means of securing property to be used in a nefarious barter. At first, that is early in 1777, certain legitimate commerce was allowed. In February, Ezra L'Hommedieu was permitted to transport a cargo of rum, sugar &c. to Connecticut. (Ap. A. 35) In May, 1778, Col. John Hulbert and David Gelston applied for leave to hire teams to bring from Boston to Connecticut, " sundry goods and merchan dise;" but they were refused. (Ap. E. 3) By this time, numer ous Refugees had petitioned for leave to go to Long Island for provisions, grain and flax for their families. Such permissions were usually granted, but subject to inspection; and further stipulations were made — Tor instance: To search said boat and see that no goods, provisions or money are on board at the time of her departure, and that on their return they shall exhibit to said Shipman a true manifest of the grain they shall have brought from said Long Island on board said boat. (Ap. D. 28) To carry on no provisions except for stores, nor bring off any kind of British goods or merchandise. (Ap. D. 47) To examine and see that no articles are introduced from the enemy and contrary to law. (Ap. D. 33) To see to it that no illicit trade or doings be carried on colour of said per mission. (Ap. D. 35) To take care that said boat be strictly inspected at the time of her departure, to prevent any provision being carried off in said boat except what is necessary for the support of the crew during their voyage, and also again to inspect said boat before any article is unladed on the return thereof, and if .'any British goods or merchandizes are brought therein to seize the same. (Ap. E. 26) HOW THE TRADE WAS CONDUCTED The reason for these restrictions was that a condition had come about which was not at all creditable to any of the parties concerned. The boycott of English goods was the first protest against the Stamp Act and other measures of which the Americans complained. But, the War once commenced, there seemed to be no principle involved in securing the former luxuries. Tea from China tasted better than tea from sassafras or sage. Silks from India were preferred to homespun. These, and similar, articles had never been given up by the Loyalists. It was easy for them to secure what they wanted in exchange for produce, or anything else they had to offer; and it continued to be easy for them all through the War. But for the Americans, especially for those outside the Lines, it was not so easy. Their wants were satisfied, in part, by the sale of prizes which were brought to friendly ports by American Pri vateers. The supply from this source did not equal the demand. So there sprang up a new line of business known as the " Illicit Trade," or the " London Trade," the operations of which extended from the Thames River, in Connecticut, to the Shrewsbury H 2io The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut River, in New Jersey, — the center of the traffic being Long Island Sound, and the chief actors being the whale-boat men. The Trade consisted in buying imported goods in New York City, professedly for pro-British customers; in carrying the same to Long Island; and in smuggling them over to Connecticut to be exchanged for provisions. Or, the order would be reversed. A boat with pro visions would leave Connecticut, or Long Island; and, through a secret meeting with a boat out from New York City, an exchange of provisions for English goods was made. What was undertaken, at first, in a spirit of adventure soon grew to a size both enormous and profitable. The owner of a store on Long Island would arrange to be robbed by one of the Predatory Excursions mentioned in the last Chapter. The owner of a boat would allow himself and his load to be captured. In both cases the property seized was confiscated and sold, or ex changed, for the benefit of all who were in the plot. And when there was no collusion, the robbers having secured their trading capital for nothing, made a clear profit on everything for which their ill-gotten gains had been exchanged. The hardship of this kind of " trading " was shown conspicuously in the case of the Refugees: Dr. William Lawrence (Ap. B. 30, 31. Ap. D. 42); and Richard Seaman. (Ap. D. 26. Ap. E. 119-123) The latter case, more than any other on record, gives detailed information as to the number of points involved. Then there was the pathetic story of Samuel Clark who went on the bond of Obadiah Wright (the latter having been prosecuted for carrying on the Illicit Trade), both Clark and Wright being Refugees (Ap. E. 189-192); and, included in this, the affidavits of Joshua Hobart, implicating not only himself, but Seaman, Wright and others. (Ap. E. 192) The latter reference illustrates the various complications of the Trade. PERMISSION AND CONNIVANCE Legitimate trade, or the removal of one's household goods, had no chance when opposed by armed bands. Everything of this nature had to be protected by special permission; as in the cases of Elias Parshall and Samuel Hazard. (Ap. D. 33, 37) On May 3, 1 78 1, Ezra L'Hommedieu wrote to Gov. Clinton in favor of David Gardiner and Nathaniel Fanning whose goods had been taken under a pretext. (Clinton Pap., 6. 830,831) To such an extreme was this sort of enterprise carried that murder was sometimes com mitted. Onderdonk (" Suffolk Co.") states that in August, 1783 a boat's crew visited Setauket and killed Capt. Solomon Davis who had been commander of a vessel in the London Trade. Maj. Benjamin Tallmadge relates his adventure with one of the American armed ships, the " Shuldham," in the Winter of 1782-83 Hearing that the ship was due in Norwalk on a certain day laden with English goods, he met her on her arrival. He informed the Captain of his suspicions. Whereupon the Captain weighed anchor and ran across the Sound nearly to Lloyd's Neck before he could be persuaded to return, by the threats of Tallmadge Chapter Twenty- Three — The Illicit Trade 212 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut On reaching Norwalk once more, the Captain disappeared; and Tallmadge found that the goods in the hold tallied with his invoice. (" Memoir of Tallmadge," pp. 75-77) Onderdonk ("Scrap Book "— 1851. N. Y. City Pub. Lib'y, pp. 50, 51) remarks that the State of Connecticut connived at this Trade for a time; but revoked permission, in 1781. The date was earlier. In April, 1779, the State revoked all licenses issued by Civil Authorities and Selectmen to Refugees and others to go from Connecticut to any place in the possession of the enemy; for the reason that such licenses " have been abused for the pur poses of carrying on a clandestine and Illicit Trade with the ene mies of the United States, and to keep up an unwarrantable and dangerous intercourse with them." (Ap. D. 22) This was followed, in May, by a law declaring the forfeiture of all goods imported into the State from the territory possessed by the enemy unless the owner could show that said goods were not in transit to or from the enemy. (Ap. D. 23) Under this law, in 1780, Rev. David Rose asked a permit to visit Long Island " and pro cure proof that certain captured goods were bought, and not captured, on Long Island." (Ap. F. 118) POPULARITY OF THE TRADE Apparently, these enactments had no effect upon the existence of the Trade. Everybody, from the highest to the lowest, seemed to carry it on. The State of New York winked at the Trade in order to procure clothing for the Army The British allowed it, so far as it would yield cattle and provisions, although they forbade any but a Loyal subject to carry goods out of New York City. The mixed bands which carried on the Trade were composed of Whigs, Tories, Refugees, American and British soldiers, and camp followers from both Armies. So that, whenever an investi gation was ordered it could not proceed far without hitting friends of the party, or the power, which was making the investigation. And there seemed to be no disgrace in the practice; for nothing popular is ever disgraceful. It is mentioned as, a matter of fact, that the Refugee William Hart was engaged in the Trade. (Ap. F. 128) Capt. John Conkling had a pass from Connecticut " to cross the Sound in the Illicit Trade." (Ap. F. 117) Even Governors Clinton and Trumbull seemed to use the Trade to secure Clothing for the Army. (Ap. E. 192. Also Chap. 8) And, as a climax, in 1780, Dr. George Howell and Capt. Jesse Leavenworth were seized as participants in the Illicit Trade, "but showed a permit from the President of the Continental Congress." (Ap. F. 119) DISGRACE AND DISAPPROVAL There was, however, a certain disgrace if the enterprising agents were caught. Akin to this marauding system [See Chap. 22] was the contraband trade — an illicit dealing with the enemy and furnishing them with supplies for the Chapter Twenty-Three — The Illicit Trade 213 sake of their gold, and their goods. This was not often carried on by the Tories * * for they were too narrowly watched to allow of the risk; but by men who were Patriots in pretension, but yet lovers of money, rather than lovers of their Country. This trade was entered into by many people who were otherwiseconsideredfair andhonorable in all their dealings ; but if discover ed by their countrymen, they were marked for opprobrium and insult. A more odious occupation could not be mentioned, nor could anything be said of a man better calculated to hold him up to public indignation than to call him " a Long Island Trader." (Caulkins' " New London," pp. 522, 523) That Gen. Washington disapproved of the Illicit Trade is shown in his correspondence with Gen. Parsons, in 1779. (" Life of Parsons," pp. 274, 275) On Oct. 14, 1780, Parsons wrote to Col. Eliphalet Lockwood, complaining of the Guards of the latter, and stating " There's not a guard on the Coast but is taxed with being concerned in the Trade." (Same ref., pp. 300, 301) On Mar.

A SAFE SHELTER FOR THE ILLICIT TRADE (Photograph by Belle J. E. Rowell) 13, 1 78 1, Parsons wrote to Gov. Trumbull enclosing the exam inations of 47 men belonging to Greenwich, Stamford, Stanwich and Norwalk — all of whom were concerned in supplying the enemy, and in Illicit Commerce. He asked the Governor how far he should proceed in apprehending the persons named. (Same ref., pp. 343-345) Gen. David Waterbury, also, was active in suppressing Illicit Trade, disguised under Flags of Truce. (Ap. D.49) EFFECT OF THE EMBARGO The " Embargo Act," passed by the State of New York, Mar. 14, 1778, was responsible for some of the Illicit Trade. This measure forbade the export of grain and flour from New York to the less productive States of New England. Protests and retaliatory laws followed in Connecticut; but, in New York, the law was quite rigidly enforced. In 1780, a Convention in Boston recommended to the several States which had Embargo Acts, 214 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut a repeal of such acts ; but a continuance of the Embargo on pro visions carried by water — so as to prevent the Illicit Trade. (" Mag. Am. Hist'y," Mar. 1884, p. 224) The Embargo was removed, on Aug. 25, 1780, by a Proclamation in which Gov. Clinton urged vigilance in preventing all Illicit Trade with the enemy. (Clinton Pap., 6. 174-176) On Sept. 30, Gov. Trum bull issued a Proclamation repealing the Inland Embargo Acts of Connecticut. This led to the repeal of the Embargo Act by the Legislature of New York, June 21, 1781. In October, 1781, the Legislature of Connecticut debated the amendment, or repeal, of the laws of that State "respecting Embargo." (Conn. Archives — Rev'y War — 21.3565) PREVENTION OF THE TRADE It was not until Yorktown had surrendered, and a Truce existed while both sides were waiting for the Treaty of Peace, that the State of New York took a really serious action. The stable was locked after the horse had been stolen. A law of Apr. 13, 1782, " more effectually to prevent Illicit Trade with the enemy," pro vided that goods which shall have been brought from any place within the possession of the enemy into any part of the State not in the possession of the enemy shall be considered contraband. This was operative after May 1, 1782. On July 22, following, a law " To prevent Illicit Trade with the enemy " declared con traband all goods manufactured in Great Britain, imported into New York or any other State. By a law of Mar. 21, 1783, this law was to become inoperative when a Treaty of Peace had been declared between the United States and Great Britain. Whatever may have been the result in New York, the Trade continued to flourish in Connecticut down to the very end. It is stated that British merchandize became so plenty, in 1783, that auction sales of European goods were held twice a week at Nor wich. Some of them, however, may have been the spoil of Privateers. CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR — PRIVATEERS The people of Long Island and the shore of Connecticut were at home on the Sea. They well remembered the large profits that came as a result of their Privateering enterprises in the late War with France. They were, therefore, ready to take up this branch of the Service in the Revolutionary War. The State of New York built a number of Frigates, at Poughkeep sie, for the Continental Congress. Among them were the " Con gress," 28 guns, and the " Montgomery," 24 guns. The State charged the United States "for the Expence of building and fitting out Armed Vessels for the Defence of the Harbour; " and its bill for Armed Ships was £2,715. n. 2|, in 1776 and 1777. (Rev'y MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y., 1. 177 and 31. 127) On Mar. 21, 1776, the Committee of Safety voted money to Capt. William Chapter Twenty-Four — Privateers 215 Mercier to equip the Vessels lately purchased by the Congress, and ordered to be fitted out and armed by the Marine Committee. (Same ref., 1. 183) This Committee, appointed on the same date, consisted of Thomas Randall, Capt. Anthony Rutgers, Capt. William Denning, Jacobus Van Zandt and Joseph Hallett. (Pro ceedings Prov'l Cong.) If space would allow, it might be shown how well this Com mittee performed its work for the few months preceding the ar rival of the enemy's Fleet and the capture of New York City. But our inquiry is more especially as to the operations about Long Island and the shore of Connecticut ; and the part the Refugees had therein. THE CONTINENTAL SHIPS On Apr. 17, 1776, the Continental Congress, licensed Capt. William Rogers, of the Sloop " Montgomery " to prey upon the commerce of Great Britain; and, on Apr. 19, the New York Com mittee of Safety gave several instructions to Capt. Rogers, in cluding one to cruise along the coast between Sandy Hook and Cape May, or from Sandy Hook to the East End of Long Island. (Proceedings Prov'l Cong.) It is not certain, but it is probable, that this was the Capt. Rogers who was a Refugee. (See " The Refugees from L. I. to Conn.") The Sloop " Schuyler " (formerly the " Sally ") was fitted out for the account of the United States, and the command was given to Capt. Pond. (Rev'y MSS. 1. 172) Later, the command was given to Capt. James Smith. On Mar. 2, 1776, the Pro vincial Congress advanced money to Capt. Smith for wages, arms &c. The Committee of Safety had charge of the Sloop, in 1777. (Same ref., 1. 137) According to a report made by Daniel Tillinghast, of Providence, Feb. 11, 1777, there were 56 men, 6 carriage guns and 12 swivels on the "Montgomery;" and 50 men, 6 carriage guns and 4 swivels on the " Schuyler." (Same ref.) On Dec. 4, 1776, the New York Committee of Safety named Victor Bicker, jr., Lt. of Marines for the Sloop "Congress;" directed him to enlist 30 Marines for the same term as the Conti nental Troops; and declared it to be their duty to guard the " Con gress " and " Montgomery " " and such other Vessels and Stores, belonging to the Continent, as may be laid up with them." (Same ref., 1. 138) The " Congress " had taken six prizes before June, 1776; and the cargoes were landed at Huntington, Long Island. (Same ref., 1. 139) Nearly all the cruises of the " Montgomery " were along the shore of Connecticut, and along the Southern shore of Long Island. (Same ref., 1. 151, 152) In July, 1776, she lay off Fire Island. (Same ref., 1. 168 c.) Before June, 1776, the " Mont gomery " had taken these six prizes: — ¦ Sloop " Charlotte ," Brig "Pembroke," Brig "Speedwell," Schooner "Hiram," Ship " Crawford," and Sloop " Nancey." (Same ref., 1. 168 d.) In the same year, the " Montgomery " took the " Blue Mountain Valley" (Same ref., 1. 153), and it is stated that Capt. William 216 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Rogers was the first man on board. ("Archives of the State of N. Y. — The Rev'n.," p. 534) This was important to Capt. Rogers, because the first boarder was entitled to three shares (instead of one) in the prize money. On Oct. 10, 1776, John Sloss Hobart wrote to the Provincial Congress, from Fairfield, Connecticut, that he had supplied Capt. Rogers with funds. Early in 1777, the Schooner " Hannah " was taken by the " Montgomery," and the cargo was sold, in Baltimore, on Feb. 5. The cargo consisted of Cheese, Ale, Port Wines, Handker chiefs, Stockings, Spices, Linen, Shoes, Beef, Pork and Peas; of which Col. Richard Henry Lee bought two hampers of Port Wine. The net proceeds of the sale were £8,684. 13- if- (Rev'y MSS., 1. 149, 169) On Mar. 22, 1777, Messrs. Lux and Bowly, of Baltimore, acknowledged the receipt of £361. 4. Current Money, from " William Rogers Esqr., Commander of the Sloop Montgomery * * * which said Sum is left in our Hands by him, as he is now bound to Sea on a Cruise against the Enemies of America." (Same ref., 1. 157) The New York Convention appointed Francis Lewis as its Agent for the sale of Prizes taken by the "Montgomery," and he directed the sale at Baltimore. (Same ref., 1. 169) Mr. Lewis was a Refugee from New York City. On July 5, 1777, Eliphalet Wood, a Refugee from Long Island, acknowledged the receipt of $30. from Joshua Rogers, " being for one Quarter part of all My Prize Money due from the Sloop Montgomeria Late Commanded by William Rogers." (Same ref., 1. 159) It is shown, in the claim of Sarah Rogers, Widow and Administratrix, that Capt. William Rogers landed some of his Prize goods at Huntington, Long Island. (Same ref., 31. 79, No. 4) SHIPS BELONGING TO NEW YORK The New York Convention received information, on July 27, 1776, that the Ships of the enemy, between Montauk Point and Block Island, were capturing Ships laden with provisions. By request, Gov. Trumbull sent the " Spy " after them. (Proceed ings Prov'l Conv'n) Onderdonk (" Suffolk Co.") gives several items relating to the Refugees, which are of interest: Rivington's Gazette May 20, 1778 — The head of the Banditti who cap tured 5 vessels loaded with lumber and produce for the market of N.

On Sunday these 3 again sailed for Sag-Harbor, where they discovered 7 British vessels just arrived, one a Brig of 8 or 10 Chapter Twenty-Four ¦ — Privateers 217 guns, when a fair prospect appeared of making capture of the whole, but the wind ahead, the " Middleton " struck on the Middle ground, in beating up the Harbor, 1/4 of a mile from the shore, where she was bravely defended for 4 or 5 hours by her crew, against an incessant fire from the Brig, and several field pieces on shore; after being hulled by 30 shots under water, and the vessel careening by the tides falling, the guns could not be worked, all except 4 left the ship, and were taken on board the other 2 vessels. Those on their return took 2 brigs from Cork, via N. Y., with rum, wine and 12,000 bushels of oats, for the troops on Long Island. — " p. 80.

Thomas Wickham, commander of an armed sloop, took a boat laden with provisions, &c— p. 108. Early in the War, the Privateers belonging to the Province of New York were under the authority of the Provincial Congress, or its substitute, the Committee of Safety; but, after the formation of the State, in 1777, the power to name Commanders of the Pri vateers passed to the Council of Appointment. From the Minutes of that body, it appears that the following Refugees were com- 218 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut missioned as Captains of Armed Vessels :— Apr. 2, 1778, Titus Conkling, the " Refugee," Daniel Griffing, the " Revenge " and John Ingraham, the " Retaliation; " Mar. 6, 1779, Joshua Rogers, the "Greyhound;" Apr. 28, 1781, Nathaniel Norton, the "Suf folk." The commissions of Wm. Smith Scudder, the "Ranger," Valentine Ryder, the " Resolution," and James Vincent, the " Porpoise," were recalled by the Council of Appointment, June 29, 1 78 1, because the Captains had landed on Long Island, and allowed their men to plunder the inhabitants. The Minutes of the Pension Board (p. 109) note the service of Lt. Robert Harris, of the Sloop "Reprisal," and Capt. Lambert Weeks. Lt. Harris was a Refugee from New York City. THE CONTRIBUTION OF CONNECTICUT There were in the Privateer Service others of the Refugees whose records are in the Archives of Connecticut. They were as follows, the figures in parentheses referring to the subdivisions of Appendix G. in which the names may be found: Continental Frigate "Trumbull" — Capt.

(100) * Still others of the Refugees were active. Capt. Peter Hallock, Capt. Jonathan Salmon, Capt. Jeremiah Rogers, Capt. David Landon and Capt. Jonathan Vail had small Armed Boats on the Sound. (Ap. D. 15, 16, 48) Beside being Capt. of the "Revenge," Daniel Griffing and Capt. Augustus Peck, fitted out and sailed the Sloop " Randolph," with New London as headquarters. Capt. Peter Griffing and Capt. Jesse Leavenworth also com manded Armed Boats on the Sound. (Ap. D. 12) Capt. James Harris was in the Service. (Ap. F. 1) Capt. Nathaniel Shaw, Jr., of New London, fitted out some of the Connecticut Privateers; and that Port was one of the chief centers of their activities. In fact, those activities caused the retaliatory Raid of Arnold on New London, in 1781. (Chap. 26) *The service of these Privateers is given at greater length in Caulkins' " New London," pp. 538-541. Chapter Twenty-Four — Privateers 219 On the 9th of March, 1783, Capt. Caleb Brewster took command of a sloop at Fairfield, for the purpose of attacking the "Fox," a British armed vessel in the Sound; and as soon as he came near, he ordered his men to board her with fixed bayonets, himself leading the way. In less than two minutes, she became their prize. Captain Johnson, of the " Fox," and two men, were killed, and several others wounded; while Captain Brewster had not a person injured. (Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 513-516) THE SHIPPING OF THE ENEMY Fort Franklin on Lloyd's Neck, Long Island, was the rendezvous for the Tory Privateers. (Van Tyne's " Loyalists," p. 182) SOUTHOLD, SHELTER ISLAND AND SAG HARBOR, (Drawn specially for this work) One of these, the " Adventure," Capt. Ebenezer Hathaway, was captured; and Hathaway and his crew were imprisoned at Sims bury, Connecticut. (Sir Henry Clinton's " Secret Record," June 8, 1781, in Ap. H. 35) In 1779, Gen. Parsons had planned to destroy all the Shipping of the enemy. But the loss of the " Defence " left only the " Confederacy " and the " Oliver Crom well " available ; and he was obliged to give up the attack. (Hall's " Life of Parsons," pp. 220-222) 220 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE — WHALE-BOAT WARFARE The Privateers were ably supported by a less dignified flotilla known as Whale-Boats, or row-boats, similar to those employed in the whale fisheries. Boats of this sort were 30 feet, or over, in length and sharp at either end. They were moved with from two to ten pairs of oars. As they were very light, they were both speedy and silent. Given, a boat of this sort with a crew always accustomed to handling it, the only condition needed for effective service was a safe and secret landing place. The Northern shore of Long Island and the Southern shore of Connecticut, with their small bays and coves, furnished many places of this sort. The favorite harbors were : Setauket, Port Jefferson, Huntington and Old Man's, on the Island; and Greenwich, Stamford, Nor walk, Guilford and Black Rock on the Connecticut shore. In Westchester County, New York, the Saw Pits (now Port Chester), Rye and Mamaroneck were attractive. One of the earlier objects of the Whale-Boat Warfare was to find provisions to feed the American Army, as much as could be transported; and the other, to destroy the balance of the pro duce and property in order that the British might not be able to capture it for their benefit. Both objects, in their results, were disastrous to the people of Long Island. Another object was the securing of Prisoners from the enemy. (Chap. 11) But the final, and by far the greater, object was to inflict as much damage as pos sible upon the property of the enemy and those who sympathized with him. THE WARFARE STARTS EARLY On Sept. 30, 1776, directly after the Battle of Long Island, Washington sent an order to Gen. George Clinton to take with him Lt. Col. Hurlbut; to proceed immediately to Fairfield; and there in consultation with Gen. Lincoln, of Massachusetts Bay, John Sloss Hobart of New York and Col. Henry B. Livingston, to plan an Expedition to Long Island. An Expedition of men, vessels, and Whale-Boats under Col. Livingston, was fitted out to attack the British forces at Huntington, in October, 1776. Mr. Hobart then, on Oct. 10, wrote to the Provincial Congress, from Fairfield, that all of the preparations were complete. (Proceedings Prov'l Cong.) It was a great disappointment to all that, on the day before they were to start, they received orders from Washington to abandon the enterprise, as all their forces were needed else where. This led Mr. Hobart to write to Gen. Clinton, on Oct. 17, from New Haven, complaining that the Expedition had been given up because the Troops had been " ordered from hence just as our Expedition is on the point of execution." (Clinton Pap., 1.382) The Journal of the Provincial Congress , however, mentions an Expedition to Brookhaven, in October or November, in which Capt. Caleb Brewster and Lt. George Smith were engaged; but s a Huntington ALONG THE NORTH SHORE OF LONG ISLAND — FROM OYSTER BAY TO FORT SLONGO (Drawn specially for this work) 222 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut it is evident that it was a small affair, and without important results. As the Island was dominated by the enemy, most of the Whale- Boat men came from Connecticut. Among them were numerous Refugees, including Lt. Henry Scudder and Maj. Jesse Brush, of Huntington. Onderdonk (" Suffolk Co.," p. 71) quotes a British paper of Feb. 26, 1778, to the effect that " a gang of ruffians " stripped the Schooner " Clio " of her sails; and that Capt. Peter Griffing and Capt. Wilmot Goldsmith, late residents of Southold, were in the party. The same writer (" Queens Co.," pp. 168- 203) gives numerous instances of Excursions of this sort from Connecticut to Hempstead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay, for the capture of boats and supplies. Again (" Suffolk Co.," Nos. 610 and 621) he describes two journeys of Capt. Daniel Roe to secure the effects of himself and others. AUTHORIZED BY THE NEW YORK PROVINCIAL CONGRESS Capt. Samuel Lockwood, of Greenwich, in the service of the United States, was in command of the Whale-Boats on Long Island Sound. (Ap. B. 42. Also " Connecticut Men in the Revolution," PP- 557. 576) Gen. Parsons, on Aug. 29, 1777, ordered Col. Samuel B. Webb to proceed with Whale-Boats to any part of Long Island, and to destroy the supplies of the enemy. (Hall's " Life of Gen. S. H. Parsons," p. no) On May 29, 1778, the New York Provincial Congress authorized Gov. Clinton to commission Capt. David Landon to take the effects of the enemy, both by sea and land. (Ap. D. 48) There were also the Expeditions of Cap tains Adam Hyler and William Marriner, of New Brunswick, New Jersey. They operated all through the War between Egg Harbor, Staten Island and the Western end of Long Island. (Lossing's " Field Book," 2. 645, 646) AN EXCITING ADVENTURE One of the most stirring incidents of this kind of Warfare took place on Long Island Sound. The Whale-Boat Fleet of Stamford, under command of Capt. Ebenezer Jones, came out of the fog, and directly upon a War Ship of the enemy. Capt. Jones loudly pro tested against the fault of the English Officer in allowing a strange boat to get so near him, unchallenged. He claimed to be an inspector sent by the English Commander. Then, still denouncing the want of proper precautions, he went aboard with his crew, keeping up the loud words. Meanwhile, he gave the signal for the other boats. They surrounded the enemy, and the vessel was captured. About the same time, a smaller vessel of the enemy was boarded by men from one Whale-Boat ; while men from another Whale-Boat entered the cabin windows. The crew surrendered, and the vessel was brought to Stamford. (Rev. J. D. Alvord's "Stamford Address." Also Huntington's "Stamford,"pp.2i7,238) Perhaps the most celebrated action, in the Whale-Boat War fare, was that of Dec. 7, 1782, known as "The Boat Fight." Chapter Twenty-Five — ¦ Whale-Boat Warfare 223 As it was undertaken as part of a Raid on Huntington, Long Is land, it is described at the end of Chapter 26. Indeed, nearly all of the Raids described in that Chapter were Whale-Boat Expeditions on a large scale. In this way the Americans made such inroads into the fighting strength of the enemy on the water, that no vessel belonging to him was considered safe if it were not well armed; and, some times, not even then. So that, in the end, the " Board of Asso ciated Loyalists " was dissolved, and its headquarters on Lloyd's Neck was abandoned. THE ENEMY STRIKES BACK But it must be understood that this kind of Warfare was not one-sided. The enemy often gave as good blows as he received. There were inviting bays and inlets along the shore of Westchester ALONG THE NORTH SHORE OF LONG ISLAND — FROM SETAUKET TO MILLER S PLACE (Drawn specially for this work) County, New York, and they were utilized. Anyone, who is familiar with the history of that County will recall the Enterprises of Capt. Fade Merritt ; and, particularly, the visit to the old Mott homestead and the courage of the young Quaker, Anne. Nor did even Connecticut escape. Miss Mabel C. Holman relates that a quantity of contraband goods had been taken from the Tories and placed in a small house near the mouth of the Connecticut River, at Saybrook. William Tully, the owner, was set to watch the house. One night eight Tories came to the house and demanded entrance. Tully refused to open the door. Without further words it was broken in. Taking his old flint gun, Tully fired. The musket-ball passed through the first man, who still advanced; but the one directly back of him dropped dead. Tully turned upon the other six, wounding one with his bayonet. The re mainder escaped by the windows. When the first man whom Tully shot discovered that the ball had passed through him he dropped dead, with one hand on the window and the other grasping a chest of tea. 224 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut STATUS OF THE ENTERPRISE Lossing, in his " Story of the U. S. Navy," says: " So expert and successful were these unlawful Whale-Boat Expeditions, that the same kind of vessels were finally used for purely Military purposes." (See, also, "Field Book," 2. 645, 646) The Whale-Boat Warfare, legitimate in the campaigns of that time, began early and lasted nearly through the War. The use of it was soon abused in the way of Predatory Excursions; and later, in the form of the Illicit Trade — as Chapters 22 and 23 have shown. In other words, the Excursions and the Trade were off -shoots of the Whale-Boat Warfare ; and perhaps produced by it, and the spirit of adventure which it developed. IN THE WAR OF l8l2 The Whale-Boat business along the Sound was resumed in the War of 1 8 1 2.

Tryon attacked Danbury and Ridgefield — both in Connecticut. On Apr. 25, 2,000 men landed at Compo, on the Eastern side of the Saugatuck River. They were under Tryon, in person, Gen. Agnew and Gen. Erskine. Marching a short distance inland, they camped for the night. Early the next morning they reached Redding, eight miles from Danbury. In the meantime, Gen. Silliman had gathered 500 Militia near Redding; where he was joined by Gen. Wooster and Gen. Arnold, who had hastened from New Haven. The Americans pursued the enemy to Bethel, within four miles of Dan bury, where they halted so that they might cut off his retreat. A large quantity of Military stores in Danbury was captured and de stroyed. The calamity might have ended there if several Americans had not fired upon the enemy from a house, in the earlier part of the day. The house was burned, and the Americans perished in it. This probably made the burning of the whole village an after thought, as the enemy was leaving on the morn ing of Apr. 27. Tryon, fearing that his escape would be impos sible by the ~^ Tkt-ontRaid, 1777'" C/^£ route taken to reach Danbury, made a feint toward New York; but, at Ridgeway, he turned South toward Ridgefield. Here Wooster disputed his progress, but the odds were too great. Wooster received a wound from which he died a few days later. Arnold threw up a barricade in the main street which temporarily iS 226 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut checked the progress of the enemy. He was flanked, his horse was shot, and the Americans were powerless. Col. Abraham Gould oi Fairfield, was among the slain. The enemy, after burning a part of Ridgefield, mar ched to Wil ton, and forded the River above the Saugatuck bridge in order to avoid the Militia which Arnold had concentrated there. The Americans kept up a run ning fire from the rear, caus ing the enemy HOUSE IN WHICH GEN. WOOSTER DIED -j , , considerable (Loaned by Mr. Alfred M. Wildman) 1 T , loss. It IS doubtful if so many would have escaped if Marines had not been landed from the boats of the enemy.* MEIGS TO SAG HARBOR In retaliation for Danbury, what was known as the Meigs Expedition to Sag Harbor, on Long Island, was undertaken. The object was to destroy the provisions which had been collected by the British gar rison stationed at that point. The possession of Sag-Harbor by the British was important. Their Fleet commanded the harbor of New York, the Sound and Gar diner's Bay, wherein their men-of- war often lay at anchor. Sag- Harbor was a convenient centre for collecting supplies; it was easy thence to distribute them, and the naval supremacy of Britain enabled it to take and hold this port at little cost. (Hedges " East Hampton") Gen. Parsons, who had suggested the plan, entrusted s<7) -j S <*• y^^Xi/ the execution of it to Lt. Col. 0/¦U^^*^/^??^>^, iy*t*€y> Return Jonathan Meigs. The latter, having made ample preparations embarked from .New Haven, on May 21, 1777, witr 234 men in 13 Whale-Boats. He went directly to Guilford, Con- ' Fairfield,' y / *See Schenck's "Fairfield," 2. 341. Thompson's " Long Island,' Field Book, 1. 401. Hall's "Life of Gen. S.H. Parsons," pp. 93, 94. 1. 203.

At one in the afternoon of that day he left Guil ford with 170 men, protected by two Armed Sloops, arriving at Southold, Long Island, about six o'clock. The Troops of the enemy, on that part of the Island, had left for New York two or three days before. Meigs ordered the Whale-Boats to. be carried over the land to Pecohic Bay. Having re-embarked, he arrived on the other side of the Bay, within four miles of Sag Harbor. It was now midnight. The boats were left in a wood, under a guard; and the remainder of the detachment marched to A BRITISH FORT near this sj-ctWss Matured h\ tbeA^ERICA'NSunder UieuT-.

While one "division attacked the Fort, and captured the garrison, the other division proceeded directly to the shipping at the wharf. An Armed Schooner fired upon them from a short distance ; but this did not prevent the Americans from executing their purpose. There were destroyed — 1 2 brigs and sloops, one of which was an Armed Vessel; 120 tons of hay; corn; oats; 10 hogsheads of rum, and a large quantity of merchandize. The Hospital, on Brick Hill, was taken; and a foraging party, from DeLancey 's Brigade, was captured. Of the enemy, six were killed and 90 were taken Prison ers. Meigs lost not a man, either in killed or wounded. He re turned to Guilford at two in the afternoon, having been absent but about 25 hours. 228 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Many of the Refugees to Connecticut were members of this Expedition; and one of them, Capt. John White of Sagg, acted as pilot. In the yard of the Presbyterian Church, at Sag Harbor, a boulder-monument records the date as May 23. On May 25, Parsons wrote to Gen. Washington, from New Haven, relating the success of the Expedition; and, on May 29, Washington replied, commending Col. Meigs. The Continental Congress voted a sword to Meigs as a tribute to his enterprise and valor.* There was a counter-retaliation against Guilford. A month later, three Ships of the enemy landed at Sachem's Head, and burned the house of Solomon Leete. In 1781, the enemy again attacked. They burned the house of Daniel Leete, on Leete's Island; but they were repulsed when they advanced toward Guilford. PARSONS TO SETAUKET Early in the same year, 1777, Col. Richard Hewlett, of the Tory Troops, had taken possession of the Presbyterian Church at Setauket on Long Island. He occupied the building as a barrack, and surrounded it with breastworks and a stockade. Several guns were mounted on the breastworks, and cannon were placed in the windows of the Church. (See Map on p. 223) The importance of dislodging the enemy was apparent to Gen. Putnam. Therefore, on Aug. 16, he ordered Gen. Parsons to attack the stockade; to capture the garrison; and to bring off, or destroy, all the Military stores. Parsons, on the same date, ordered Col. Samuel B. Webb to report with his Regiment. From Fairfield, Connecticut, on Aug. 21, Parsons issued orders that, private property must be respected on this Expedition. The attack was made early in the morning of Aug. 22. (" Hall's Life of Parsons," pp. 108-110. Also Onderdonk's " Suffolk Co.," pp. 65-67) Other accounts have given Aug. 14 as the date of the attack; but Aug. 22 is authentic. The Expedition consisted of about 500 men, and it was strength ened by several pieces of Artillery. With the Expedition were the Refugees Capt. Caleb Brewster and Zachariah Greene. The latter, 20 years later, was installed as Pastor of the Church which he attempted to take from the enemy on this occasion. Crane Neck Bend, about three miles from Setauket, was the place of landing. Leaving the boats with a guard, the Expedition marched quietly to the neighborhood of the garrison. A Flag of _ Truce was sent to Col. Hewlett, demanding surrender. This being refused, the attack commenced. Little injury was done to either side. It was then learned that several British Ships were in the Sound. Fearing that the retreat might be cut off, Parsons ordered the men back to the boats. The party returned to Connecticut with a few horses and a small quantity of Military stores. (Thompson's " Long Island," 1. 205, 206) * See Hall's "Life of Gen. S. H. Parsons," pp. 97-90. Thompson's " Long Island," I. 203-305. Chapter Twenty-Six — Raids 229 FAILURE OF PARSONS, MEIGS AND WEBB Not satisfied with the result of this Expedition, Gen. Parsons undertook a more ambitious one which he attempted to carry out on Dec. 10, 1777. The object was to destroy not only Military stores but also the timber prepared for barracks in New York City. The Expedition moved in three divisions. The Eastern division, under Parsons, left Norwalk, Connecticut, on the evening of Dec. 9 and crossed to Hookaback, near Southold, on Long Island. Parsons destroyed the timber, and took a number of Prisoners. The Western division, under Col. Meigs, was to have crossed from Saw Pits (now Port Chester), New York, to Hempstead, on Long Island; and thence to Jamacia, where an attack against a ^MMtyi PUTNAM RIDING DOWN THE HILL (From an old print) Regiment of the enemy had been planned. Meigs was unable to start on account of the heavy sea. Meantime, the third division, under Col. Samuel B. Webb, had already started from Norwalk. This division was to land at Huntington, on Long Island, and support either of the other divisions, as required. Unfortunately for Col. Webb, and Col. John Ely who was with him, a British Sloop of War was encoun tered, and many of the party were captured. (" Life of Parsons," pp. 134-136. Also Chap. 11. See Map on p. 221) The " Connecticut Gazette," of Dec. 24, 1777, contained the following account: N. London, Dec. 19. A plan having been formed to bring off or destroy a magazine of military stores which the enemy had at Setauket, on L. I., and to destroy some shipping loaded with timber at Southold, on Tuesday night of last week, part of 2 Battalions of Troops embarked from this State, under 230 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut convoy of the sloop " Schuyler," and " Spy " and " Mifflin," schooners. Unfortunately next morning, just before light, the " Falkland," a British Frigate, in her passage from N. Y. to Newport, came across the " Schuyler " and 2 smaller vessels, when the latter run ashore on the Island, but the former in attempting to get in with the land, run on a spit of same (Called Old Man's) and was taken with about 60 troops, on board, among them Cols. [John] Ely and Samuel Webb &c. TRYON TO GREENWICH AND NEW HAVEN Tryon came to Connecticut again, in 1779, in order to draw the American Troops from the Highlands of the Hudson. On Feb. 26, he made a small Raid on Rye, New York, and Greenwich, Connecticut, attended by the usual plundering of the inhabitants. It was at this time that Gen. Putnam rode down the steep rocks of " Put's Hill " and escaped capture. A suitable tablet records the incident. Putnam rallied the Militia toward the East. Tryon, by that time, had crossed the Mianus River on his way to Stamford. But he was turned back, and retreated in some disorder. (" Picturesque Stamford," p. 86. Also Chap. 21) On the morning of July 5, with three divisions, Tryon landed at New Haven. Townsend (" British Invasion of New Haven," p. 9) states that the only defenses were earthworks at the head of Bridge St., on Beacon Hill, at the West River and at Black Rock. After a stout resistance by Col. Sabin and Capts. Bradley and Hillhouse, Tryon took the City, and burned the shipping and buildings at Long Wharf. Among his Prisoners was Rev. Naph- tali Daggett. (Ap. I. 4) On the next day, he burned several dwellings at East Haven. The original plan was to burn the City ; but that was abandoned because the Militia began to arrive in large numbers. A Monument to the memory of the defenders was dedicated, in 19 11. TRYON TO FAIRFIELD AND NORWALK Tryon embarked for Fairfield, where he landed on the morning of July 8. His progress was not opposed. The village was with out Troops, and wholly defenceless. Whatever may be said of Tryon elsewhere, the plundering and burning of Fairfield cannot be defended; and the excuses given by him at the time were not worthy of a soldier. The Militia, indeed, came in force; but not until after the village had been destroyed. (Schenck's " Fair field," 2. 386) The heroine of Fairfield was Eunice Dennie, wife of Thaddeus Burr. Mr. Burr was away from home at the time of the Raid. He was one of the most prominent citizens of Connecticut. At his home, many well known men had been entertained; among them, Tryon and other British Officers. Mrs. Burr reminded Tryon of his_ former social visits, and demanded his protection. Tryon gave it, in writing; but his followers, disregarding the paper, burned the Burr mansion with all its valuable contents. The com plete story is told in " Chapter Sketches. Conn. D. A R 1901 " pp. 65-78.

Here the brutalities, fire, and pillage, shown at Fairfield were enacted on a larger scale. It is stated that Tryon enjoyed the spec tacle of destruction as he sat in a rocking chair at his headquarters. (Hall's " Life of Parsons," pp. 251-257; Lossing's " Field Book," 1. 422-431) The place from which he watched the conflagration is on East Avenue in the village of Norwalk. The spot is marked by a tablet, bearing this inscription : From the Summit of this Hill Maj. Gen. William Tryon witnessed the burning of Norwalk, by the British Troops under his command, July 11 and 12, 1779. Erected by the Norwalk Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, 1904. TALLMADGE TO FORT FRANKLIN We come, now, to the remarkable activities of Maj. Benjamin Tallmadge, who was recalled from the Highlands to retaliate upon the enemy on Long Island. In all of his Expeditions he made his headquarters at North Castle, just over the border, in the State of New York. He was then midway between Stamford and the Hudson River, and ready to strike in either direction. (See Tallmadge's Map, p. 237) His first Expedition was on Sept. 5, 1779. On that date, at 8 in the evening, he embarked from Shippan Point, in Stamford, with 130 dismounted men of his Light Dra goons. At 10 o'clock he had reached the stockade, on Lloyd's (From Tallmadge's " Memoir ") Chapter Twenty-Six — Raids 233 Neck, Long Island, called Fort Franklin. He attacked 500 Tories; captured the most of them ; and returned with them to Connect icut without the loss of a man. No attempt was made to take the Fort. ("Memoir of Tallmadge," p. 47. Lossing's "Field Book," 2. 627) TALLMADGE TO FORT ST. GEORGE Encouraged by this, Tallmadge undertook a larger enterprise, in 1780. In the Autumn, of that year, certain Tories from Rhode Island took possession of the mansion of Gen. John Smith, at Smith's Point, Mastic, Long Island. They built a triangular stockade and named it Fort St. George. A Fort had been built on the site, 1686-1690, by the grandfather of Gen. Smith, Col. William Smith — known as " Tangier " Smith. Thus protected, the Tories began to cut wood for the British Army in New York City. On the appeal of Gen. Smith, it was THE PRESENT APPEARANCE OF FORT ST. GEORGE (Furnished by Miss Martha T. Smith) decided to dislodge the enemy. In the afternoon of Nov. 2 1 , with about 80 of his men, Tallmadge crossed from Fairfield to Old Man's (now Mt. Sinai), on Long Island. The rain prevented any further progress that night. Early in the morning of Nov. 23 the march began. When two miles from the Fort, William Booth (Ap.I. 2) was taken as a guide. Tallmadge led his column through the Grand Parade; the ramparts on the other side were mounted by the smaller detachments; and with the watchword " Washington and Glory " the Fort was captured. A few of the garrison having fired from one of the houses after the capture, Tallmadge pleaded for, and saved, those who had forfeited their lives by such conduct. The Ships tried to escape; but the guns of the Fort being turned upon them, they were secured. The Ships, stores and the whole stockade were destroyed. The more valuable of the goods were strapped to the backs of the Prisoners; and the. return march began at 8 in the morning. On the way, Tallmadge mounted a dozen men on horses taken from the enemy, made a detour to Coram, and destroyed a large quantity of hay. By midnight, 234 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut the boats had returned to Fairfield without the loss of a man. The captives included the Commandant, a Lieutenant, a Surgeon, 50 rank and file, and many others of the garrison. For this exploit, Tallmadge received the thanks of Washington and the Con tinental Congress. (" Memoir of Tallmadge," pp. 58-63. Also Lossing's " Field Book," 2. 627, 628) The Refugees: Capt. Caleb Brewster, Capt. Benajah Strong and Heathcote Muirson, were members of this party. (Thompson's " Long Island," pp. 513-516. See also Brewster, Strong and Muirson in " The Refugees from L. I. to Conn.") FRENCH AND AMERICANS TO FORT FRANKLIN Before Tallmadge acted again, another attack was made upon Fort Franklin, on Lloyd's Neck. On Apr. 20, 1781, Gen. Parsons wrote to Washington advising such an attack. (" Life of Parsons," p. 354) On July 12, a small party of Americans and French, guided by Heathcote Muirson (mentioned above), attacked the Fort. They were repulsed. (Onderdonk's " Queens Co.", p. 221 et. seq. Onderdonk's "Scrap Book"— 1851, N. Y. City Pub. Lib'y., pp. 7, 8) Then followed, on Aug. 2 2 , a letter from Parsons to Gov. Trum bull and the Connecticut Council of Safety describing in detail the defences on Lloyd's Neck; on Oct. 18, a letter from Gen. Wil liam Heath to Parsons agreeing that the Fort should be reduced; and, on Nov. 8, a letter from Parsons to (Gov. Trumbull outlining his (Parson's) efforts to secure information as to the strength of the Fort, his preparation to embark on Oct. 27 and 28, his final preparation to make the attack on Nov. 6, and his disappoint ment on receiving a countermanding order. (" Life of Parsons," PP- 395. 396, 404, 407, 408) There was no further attack on Lloyd's Neck; and the enemy soon afterward abandoned it as too dangerous a place to hold. The Board of Associated Loyalists, which made its headquarters there, had been dissolved by reason of the injury it caused to the enemy. (Lossing's " Field Book," 2. 627) ARNOLD TO NEW LONDON We have now to record the final, and most shameful, Raid of the enemy. New London, Connecticut, had been the headquarters of the American Privateers (Chap. 24), and many prizes had been taken to that port and sold. With the double object of punish ing New London and diverting American Troops from the Southern campaigns, the enemy decided to attack that City. On the West side of the harbor stood Fort Trumbull ; on the East side, and fur ther up the River Thames, stood Fort Griswold. Gen. Benedict Arnold, once the friend of America, was selected by Sir Henry Clinton to make the attack. His land and marine forces, consist ing of about 1,500 men, appeared off the harbor of New London on Sept. 6, 1781. Fort Trumbull was speedily captured. New London was set on fire, and practically all of it was consumed. Chapter Twenty-Six — Raids 235 The garrison at Fort Griswold, reinforced by the garrison from the abandoned Fort Trumbull, numbered about 1^7. It was commanded by Col. William Ledyard. (See Ledyard in " The Refugees from L. I. to Conn.") The attacking force, under Col. Eyre, was far superior. The story of the capture; the unconditional surrender of Col. Ledyard; the reputed thrust of Ledyard's surrendered sword through his body by Maj. Bromfield; and the final massacre of nearly all of the sur rendered men — all this has been told so often that it needs no repetition here. If Tryon's conduct toward the unarmed and defenceless at Norwalk and Fairfield had no excuse, the conduct of Arnold at New London has no apologist. Thereafter he was shunned even by those for NEW LONDON whose friendship he attempted to betray West Point. Capt. Elias Henry Halsey, David Palmer, and perhaps others of the Refugees from Long Island, were among those who were slain at Fort Gris wold. A bright picture of the ministering angel is that of Fanny Ledyard, a niece of Col. Ledyard and herself a Refugee. On the morning after the attack she brought wine, water and chocolate to cheer the wounded who were still within the Fort. (See Led yard, in " The Refugees from L. I. to Conn.") A granite Monument, 135 feet high, was erected near the Fort, in 1826-1830. Thenames of those who were killed are on a tablet on the North side of the Monument. ("Conn. Men in the Rev'n," pp. 577, 578. Caulkins' "New London," pp. 545- 572. Allen's "Hist, of the Battle of Groton Heights.") Over the entrance to the Monument is the inscription : This Monument was erected under the patronage of the State of Connecticut, A. D. 1830, and in the 55th year of the Independence of the TJ. S. A., in Memory of the brave Patriots who fell in the Massacre at Fort Griswold, near this spot, on the 6th of September, A. D. 1 781, when the British under the command of the traitor Benedict Arnold, burned the towns of New London and Groton, and spread desolation and woe throughout this region.

Elias Henry Halsey, of Long Island.] TALLMADGE TO FORT SLONGO Returning to the exploits of Maj. Tallmadge — On Treadwell's Neck, eight miles east of Lloyd's Neck, and near Smithtown, Long Island, a party of Tory wood-cutters had built a square, stockaded Fort, with a ditch and abatis. They called it Fort Slongo, after a British Officer. Tallmadge assembled a de tachment of his Light Infantry at the mouth of the Saugatuck River, near Norwalk. By his order, Maj. Lemuel Trescott was placed in charge of the Expedition. Fort Slongo was reached early in the morning of Oct. 3, 1 78 1. A plan of the Fort had been furnished by Lt. Henry Scudder, of Hunting ton, who was a Refugee to Connecticut. (See Scudder, in " The Refugees from L. I. to Conn.") The Fort was cap tured without loss, and the block-house was burned. ("Memoir of Tallmadge," p. 68, 69. Lossing's " Field Book," 2. 628, 629. Onder donk's "Suffolk Co.," p. 105) On Oct. 6, Gen. Heath wrote from Continental Village to the monument at groton, conn. Gov. Clinton informing him Chapter Twenty-Six — Raids 237 that a detachment from his Army had captured Fort Slongo in the morning of the 3d inst. Of the enemy, two were killed; two, mortally wounded ; and 2 1 were made Prisoners — including two Captains and one Lieutenant. His command met with no loss. The amount of small arms, ammunition, clothing &c, that was taken was considerable. On Oct. 8, Gov. Clinton wrote to Heath, complimenting him for the result of the Expedition. (Clinton Pap., 7. 374, 375, 385) See Map on p. 221. TALLMADGE AND " THE BOAT FIGHT " The final effort of Maj. Tallmadge was in 1782. Having learned that a considerable body of British Light Horse and In fantry had gone to Huntington, Long Island, he " conceived the NEW YORK TALLMADGE S MAP OF HIS OPERATIONS (Reduced from the " Memoir ") plan of beating up their quarters." On the evening of Dec. 5, he had gathered on Shippan Point, near Stamford, a choice body of Infantry and dismounted Dragoons to the number of 700. A severe storm prevented the embarking that night, and all of the next day. On Dec. 7, three boats of the enemy were discovered, laying their course from Norwalk to Huntington. Tallmadge ordered several of his boats to pursue, under command of the intrepid Capt. Caleb Brewster. (See Brewster, in "The Refugees from L. I. to Conn.") By the time the boats of the enemy had reached the middle of the Sound, Brewster was upon them. Two of them were easily captured; but the third escaped. Brewster received a ball in the breast, which passed through his body. Although, apparently, Brewster had had his death wound, yet he recovered and lived to the age of about 80. This action has generally been called, by way of distinction, " The Boat Fight." At the time, it was considered, in connection 238 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut with its attendant circumstances, one of the most valorous and extraordinary engagements of that period. It was, indeed, a perilous adventure; and yet the contest lasted but twenty minutes. There was, now, no use of attempting an attack on Huntington, for the enemy was fully aware of Tallmadge's intentions. He returned to his camp, on Dec. 8, and reported his disappointment HOME OF THE SUFFOLK CO., ™. 1., HISTORICAL SOCIETY, RIVERHEAD, L. I. (Loaned by the Society) to Washington. The latter, having failed in a simultaneous movement down the Hudson River toward New York City was sympathetic and thankful. He thought that the failure of 'both Expeditions was " Providential," because the Preliminary Treaty ot Peace had been signed, and many lives would have been lost unnecessarily if both of the Expeditions had been carried out. ( Memoir of Tallmadge," pp. 70-75. Thompson's " Long Is land, 2. 513-516. Schenck's " Fairfield," 2. 398) PART TWO -BIOGRAPHICAL CAPTAINS AND MASTERS OF SHIPS Those parts of the Revolutionary MSS. (now in the New York State Library, at Albany, N. Y.) which are given in Appendix C. show that 129 Captains, or Masters, of Ships brought the Refugees and their effects from Long Island to Connecticut. Probably there were many more whose names do not appear in the MSS. Of the 129, there are 48 who also appear as Refugees. Bio graphical sketches of them will be found in " The Refugees from Long Island to Connecticut" — beginning on page 257. The 48 were: Barns, Nathaniel Bayley, Gamaliel Beebe, Samuel Cole, Ichabod Conkling, Benjamin John Joseph Cooper, Zebulon Cor win, James Timothy Dyer, Nathaniel Far nam, Onis Fordham, DanielEphraimNathan Griffing, Daniel Jasper Peter Hallock, Joseph Havens, Daniel Joseph Walter Horton, Barnabas Ingraham, John Ingraham, Samuel, Jr. Jagger, Jeremiah Jones, Ephraim King, Benjamin, Jr. Landon, David Latham, Hubbard Rogers, Jeremiah Russell, Hezekiah Salmon, Jonathan Sayre, David _ Nehemiah Schellinger, Isaac Sherrill, Recompence Topping, Stephen Vail, Benjamin Elisha John Jonathan Joseph Webb, James John White, William Wiggins, David James The remaining 81 Captains, or Masters, were from Connecticut, for the most part ; although some of them were from Long Island. Their Biographies begin on the following page. The 81 were: Bates, Isaac Benton, Edward Billings, Henry Bonticou, Peter Bradley, Joseph Budington, Eliphalet Card, William Collins, Daniel Davis, John Fellows, Elnathan Fitch, Josephus Fuller, Asa Gears, John Goldsmith, Wilmot Gray, Greenfield, Starr Gregory, Jabez Grirfeth, Joshua Hale, Daniel Haley, Banjamin Jeremiah Harris, James John Haton, Elias Howell, Peter Johnson, Nathan William Jones, James Knight, Robert Latimer, Peter Leavenworth, Jesse Leete, Thomas L'Hommedieu, Cons Lester, Andrew Noah Lockwood, Samuel McAlpin, Daniel Man waring, Peter Mason, Elijah Miller, Noah Miner, JohnJohn 2nd Morris, Elisha Pelton, Ithamar Pendleton, AmosEphraim Nathan Peleg Pettit, Redfield, Eliphalit Redpath, John Riley, Jacob Robinson, Thomas 'nt Rockwell, William Roland, Edward Ruggles, Ezekiel Russell, John Salsbury, J.

Giles Titus, John Truman, Clark Tuthill, Peter Warner, William Waterous, Eber Whitmore, Whittlesey, David Wilcox, David Hezekiah John Willard, Williams, Charles Wilson, John The Revolutionary MSS. which are given in Appendix C. mention these Ships: schooner " Elizabeth;" sloop " Polley " and schooner M King Prussia," Capt. David Landon; schooner " Ranger," Capt. Joshua Griffeth; sloop "Nancy," Capt. Isaac Bates; schooner "Peggy," Capt. Eliphalet Budington, owner; sloop " Martine," Capt. Jasper Griffing, owner; schooner " Molley," Capt. Jacob (239) 240 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Riley;sloop " Homberd," Capt. Thomas Leete; sloop " Humbrod," Capt. Joab Scranton; sloop " Dove," Capt. Elijah Mason, owned in part by Gov. Trumbull, and engaged in trading between Middletown and the W. Indies. Unfortunately, no other Ships are mentioned by name; but there were many more than the above. As Long Island Sound is very narrow toward the Western end, it is probable that whale- boats and small sloops, perhaps without names, were used by the Refugees from Huntington, Smithtown and Setauket. As a rule, the initiative in sending Ships, came from Long Island; but Capt. Richard Dickinson (Ap. I. 4) and Capt. John Cochran (Ap. I. 3) of the Army, had charge of sending Ships to Long Island, by order of the Committee of Saybrook, Connecticut. (Ap. C. 42, 43) Almost without exception, those who sailed the Ships were called by the title of ' 'Captain ' ' in the documents which are given in Appendix C. But some of them, notably the Pendletons, had no such title ; for they belonged to the Army, in Connecticut, and were Officers therein. In the following Biographies, a different form of reference is used. Hitherto, in this work, reference has been made, for instance to "Appendix B. 16," or "Ap. B. 16." In this Part Two — Biographical, the reference is simply " B. 16." BATES ISAAC, CAPT.— By the authority of the Prov'l Cong., he was employed by the Committee of Saybrook to use the sloop " Nancy " to bring the families and stock of certain Refugees from L. I. to Conn. His claim was paid to Capt. David Whittlesey. (C. 5 No. 113; C. 6, 10) He may have served in Conn. (G. 83) It is possible that he was from Haddam, Conn., his ancestors having re moved thither from Hingham, Mass.; and some of them going, later, to Clare- mont, N. H. (Mr. W. G. Bates) Or, he may have come from an ancestor who removed from L. I. to Conn, about 1750. (Mr. Albert C. Bates) BENTON — Edward 1 came from England to Guilford, Conn., where he d. in 1680. (Benton Gen.) Edward 2, supposed to have been a son of Edward 1, was on the Records of Wethersfield, Conn., about 1660. His son, Edward 3, m. Mary Hale. (Stiles' " Wethersfield," pp. 96, 97, 261, 334) BENTON EDWARD, CAPT.— (Perhaps son of Edward 3)— In 1776, he brought, for the most part from Southold to Guilford, some of the effects of these Refugees: Sept., Joshua Reeve (C. 129); Sept. and Oct., Daniel Booth (C. 166); Oct., Ezra L'Hommedieu (C. 180); same month, Abijah Windes (C. 181); same month, James Corwin (C. 35); Nov., Joshua Horton.

(G. 84) BILLINGS — This family is traced through 15 generations to John Bil lings of Rowell, who took his name from the place of his abode, about four miles from the borough of Northampton, England. William 1, the emi grant to Dorchester and Braintree, Mass., was in the 9th gen. from John. He removed to Stonington, Conn., where he owned much land. He m., in Dorchester, Feb. 12, 1657-8, Mary ; d.

When Tryon-invaded New Haven, in 1779 (Chap. 26) he was living at the house of his son, Capt. Peter 3. The invaders were disposed to hang him, although he was 86 years old. In the house were the wife and daughter of Capt. Peter. The invaders tried to kidnap the girl, but they were prevented. (Bontecou Gen.) Timothy 3, son of Timothy 2, m. (1) Susanna Prout; (2) Susan Gordon. Thomas 4, son of Timothy 3, was a Master Mariner, engaged in trade between New Haven and N. Y. City. He was captured during the War.

Council of Safety permitted the sloop " William," Peter Bonticou, Master, with eight men, to sail for Bordeaux with 270 casks of flax seed. In Sept., 1776, he moved from L. I. to Conn, the effects of the Refugees: Daniel Haines, Capt. Daniel Hedges, Matthew Osborn, James Jennings, Elisha Mulford, Lineus Dibble, Isa Franks, Capt. John Franks and Capt. Jonathan Tuthill. The Committee of New Haven approved his claim of £64.0.10 as reasonable; and it was paid to Samuel Thacher, Apr. 15, 1777. (A. 40. Also C. 14) He lived at New Haven where he built what is known as the " Wooster House." He was Capt. of the barque " Hawke," in the trade to Ireland and the W. Indies During the War he returned from a voyage to the W. Indies; was captured in the harbor of N. Y. City; and confined in the Prison ship " Jersey."

ANTHONY BENJAMIN, SURG.— On Apr. 17, 1776, Dr. John Jones certified that he had examined Dr. Anthony as to his qualifications for a Surg, and had found them satisfactory. (Page 180. Also Mil. Ret., 27. no) He was in the Privateer service. (" N. Y. in the Rev'n.— Spt.," p. 269) A letter from Gov. Clinton to Gen.

(Clinton Pap., 4. 582, 583) ARTHUR JESSE— From Smithtown. Hon. Henry C. Piatt (" Huntington Address "—1876) states that he was from Huntington. On Jan. 7, 1780, he petitioned the Gen.

Caulkins (" New London," pp. 67, 72, 331, 332) states that James 2, of Glou cester, son of Christopher 1, came to New London, Conn., in 1650; and that his numerous descendants in New London and Groton are from his sons James, Thomas, John and Samuel. Sixteen of the name were in Ft. Griswold when it fell, Sept. 6, 1781. Of these, nine were killed, and three were wounded. (Chap. 26) AVERY NATHAN— From Brookhaven to Saybrook. On Feb. 15, 1783, he was permitted to return to L. I. (F. 96) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 18) He may have served in Conn. ; and, if he was at Ft. Griswold, he was taken Prisoner. (G. 82) There was a Nathan Avery, son of Humphrey and Mary (Baldwin) Avery, b. Oct. 24, 1751, at Brookhaven, L. I. This Nathan d. after 1789. In his father's will, made Sept. 9, 1789, he is mentioned as being " in a state of lunacy." Provision is made for him to be cared for by his brothers, Thomas, Humphrey and Roger. He never married. I know of no other Nathan who could have been the one mentioned. (Hon. Elroy M. Avery) BAILEY see BAYLEY. BAILEY JONATHAN, SERJT.— He served in the 4th and 5th of the Line (G. 48, 49); and probably in Conn. (G. 83) In one of these enlist ments he was a private. He may have been Jonathan 6 (Adam 5, Joseph 4, John 3, 2, Thomas 1). See Bayley, below. There is doubt as to his being from L. I. It is more likely that he belonged to the Mass. Branch. He became a physician, and removed to New Windsor, N. Y., where he d. His. g. g. grandson, Joseph W. Gott, resides at Goshen, N. Y. BAILEY JOSEPH— He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 30); and probably in Conn. (G. 83) BAKER — The first of the name on L. I .was Thomas 1 , who came to South- old; and moved thence to East Hampton, where he appears in 1660. (Whit- aker's " Southold," pp. 45, 49. Also Hedges' " East Hampton," pp. 244-246) He appears as a witness, at Southold, in 1667. (Moore's " Index," p. 6) Joshua and William Baker were early settlers at New London, Conn. (Caulkins' " New London," pp. 362, 363) BAKER JOHN— From Queens Co. He served in Col. Smith's Regt. .. (G, 24); and probably in Conn., including service on a, Privateer. (G. 83. Also Page 218) BAKER THOMAS, LT.— From East Hampton. In Apr., 1782, he was permitted to go to L. I. (F. 55) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 28) He served in Col. Mulford's Regt. (G. 2); in the Art'y of Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 5); in Col. Drake's Provisional Regt. (G. 10); and probably in Conn. (G. 83) He may have served as Ens., also, in Col. Mulford's Regt. (G. 2) It is possible that he was a private in the 3d Line, Malcom's or Graham's Levies, the 2d Dutchess or the 2d Orange. (G. 46, 58. 60, 64, 73) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 2; under 16, 1. Females — above 16, 1 ; under 16, 2. (A. 52) He was probably Thomas 5 (Jonathan 4, 3, Nathaniel 2, Thomas 1).

(A. 51) BARNES, BARNS, BARNSES, BARENSE, BAREND— This Family, in East Hampton, is descended from William 1, whose parentage has not been ascertained with absolute certainty. Tradition stated that he was son of Charles and Mary (Hand) Barnes who have been traced at East Hampton in the period, 1655-1663. This tradition was, apparently, confirmed by Mr. Richard Wynkoop in an article in the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec. — 1906. Later investigation convinced Mr. Wynkoop that Charles was the father of Shamgar and Benjamin Barnes; and that the other Family of William, was of different parentage from that assumed in his first article. He, therefore, published a supplemental article in the Record — 1910, which is followed, herein, down to the biography of Capt. Eli Barnes. So far as known, the two Families in East Hampton, were not related. Charles I, the schoolmaster of East Hampton, was a son of William and his second wife, Thomasin, dau. of Owen Shepherd, of Kirby Bedon, in Nor folk, Eng. ; and a grandson of Edward and Dorothy (Drurye) Barnes, of Soham, Cambridgeshire. He m., about 1658, Mary, dau. of John and Alice (Stan- borough) Hand, of East Hampton. Among their children was, probably, Shamgar 2, of East Hampton, and Elizabethtown, N. J. Shamgar 2, b. in East Hampton, in 1670; d. at Middletown, Conn., Dec. 13, 1750; (Barnes Gen. — 1903, p. 194) His first wife d. Apr. 20, 1704. (East Hampton Town Rec, p. 555) He m. (2) Nov. 2, 1704, Elizabeth Flood. (Same Rec, p. 521) William 1, of East Hampton, d. Dec. 1, 1699. His wife, Elizabeth, d. Feb. 28, 1724, " aged near 80." He was a large land owner at East Hampton. Among his children were: Dea. Benjamin 2 ; Stephen 2 ; Isaac 2 ; and William 2. Dea. Benjamin 2, of Branford, Conn., b. about 1671 ; m. Abigail ¦; d. July 23, 1740. His children were: Eleanor 3, bapt. Dec, 1700, m. John, son of Richard and Amy Baldwin; Abigail 3, bapt., Aug., 1701, m. Joseph Dar win; Daniel 3, bapt. June, 1704, m.

Feb. 7, 1714; Thankful 3, bapt. May 27, 1716, m. Stephen Lee, of Litchfield. (Record, 41. pp. 275-278. Also 37. pp. 144, 145. Also 38. p. 38) Nathaniel 3, bapt. Oct., 1707; m. Nov. 16, 1732, Elizabeth, dau. of Isaac and Rebecca (Frisbie) Bartholomew. She was b. Apr. 12, 1704. (Bartholomew Gen. — 1885) In June, 1703, Dea. Benjamin sold to Nathaniel Barns of East Hampton " all that privilege both in the Town Plot [East Hampton] and also at Meantauke that was given me by the Last Will and Testament of William Barnes, deceased." The consideration was ^"20. On June 13, 1716, he conveyed to Isaac Bams, for ^"2.10 s., three acres of land in the Eastern plain, at East Hampton, " it being one half of a Close formerly in the improvement of our brother Nathaniel Barns, Deceased." (Deeds in possession of Mr. J. H. Barnes) Stephen 2, b. ; m. Mary Barnes; removed to Branford, Conn., 1701-2. He had a son, Stephen 3, b. Jan. 2, 1705; m., Jan. 5, 1725, in Branford, Martha, dau. of Thomas Wheadon; d. Mar. 27, 1777. She d. in Southington, Conn., Mar. 18, 1773, aged 66. (Barnes Year Book — 1907) Isaac 2, b. about 1675; m. Apr. 19, 1704, Anna, dau. of Noah and Eliza beth (Taintor) Rogers. She was b. Apr. 14, 1675; d. Aug. 27, 1749, "aged about 70 years."

Dec. 4, 1746, Jemima Sherrill, d. July 3, 1814; Martha 4, b. Mar. 4, 1725, the Refugee, below; and Joseph 4, bapt. Dec. 28, 1726. (Record, 41. pp. 275-278. Also 37. pp. 213, 262, 265.

(Miss Georgiana A. Kelsey) He was bapt. Feb. 24, 1754; m. Patience, dau. of Daniel Wilcox, one of the first settlers of E. Berlin, Conn.; d. June 15, 1815. He built a house on the present Main St. of that village, and opened a tavern. The house is occu pied by his descendants to-day. (Miss G. A. K.) His dau., Jemima 6, m. Samuel Kelsey.

(Miss G. A. K.) BARNES, ISAAC 4 (Isaac 3, 2, William 1; brother of Capt. Nathaniel, below) — From East Hampton to Litchfield, about Oct., 1780; and from that place, Feb. 22, 1781, he petitioned the Gen. Ass'y of Conn, for permission to bring from L. I. his wife, furniture, &c, stating that he had married about eight or nine months before. This was granted. (E. 142, 143) It is possible that he served in Conn. (G. 83) ; and that he was the Isaac, of New York, who sent a petition to the N. Y. Ass'y, Mar. 1, 1785. (Ass'y Jour.) He was b. at Amagansett, Feb. 5, 1758; m. Child. The dates of his marriage and death do not appear in the Ch. Rec; nor does his marriage appear in the Child's Gen. His sister Keziah, m. Jeremiah Sherrill. (See Sherrill) The first mention of him in the Town Rec. is in 1800, when he was elected to a Town Office; and the name of Isaac Barnes appears in the list of Town Officers from that time until 1828. His father and grandfather, both named Isaac, appear on the Town Rec. as men of affairs, being large landholders. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) 262 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Some confusion has arisen because an Isaac Barnes signed the Association, from Shelter Island, in May, 1775. (H. 31) Mr. Edwin Vincent thinks that this Isaac and Isaac 4, son of Isaac 3, were the same. Mr. Vincent further states: On May 20, 1781, Isaac Barns and his son were bapt. Two years later he had his son Nathaniel bapt. (East Hampton Town Rec, 5. 508, 510) The Isaac Barns, who was prominent in East Hampton affairs from 1800 to 1828, was undoubtedly the son of Matthew (1744-1802) and Charlotte Barns of Amagansett. He was b. Feb. 24, 1773; m. Nov. 27, 1795, Catharine (1777-1842), dau. of Nathaniel and Abigail (Conkling) Baker; d. Feb. 2, 1858. The above named rt . /fT^ was Matthew 4 (Isaac 3, 2, William 1), iyrJfC&JBi - /*y&/m*9 brother of Isaac 4, above; and of Capt. Nathaniel 4, below. BARNES JEREMIAH 5 (Brother of Capt. Eli, above)— From East Hampton, probably to Conn, first; and thence to Plattsburgh, N. Y. He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 31) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 28) He was b. in 1756; m. June 26, 1 781, Phebe, dau. of Jonathan and Elizabeth Schellinger, of Amagansett; d. at Plattsburgh, in 1840. He had: Jeremiah, Jr. 6, b. Oct. 19, 1785, m. Mary Farnsworth; Jonathan 6; Fannie 6; Maris 6; Hannah 6; Hormer 6; Henry 6; and Elizabeth 6. (N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 1906) BARNES JONATHAN 4 (Stephen 3, 2, William 1)— He served in Col, Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 31); and probably in Conn. (G. 83) He was b. Feb. 21, 1731; m. Aug. 4, 1757, Elizabeth Woodruff; d. Jan. 7, 1807. She d. Feb. 8, 1814. They had nine children, of whom these have been identified: Jonathan 5, bapt. Mar. 23, 1777; Talmage 5, bapt. Nov. 21, 1778; a dau. 5, bapt. Feb. 19, 1780; a son 5, bapt. Dec. 24, 1782. (East Hampton Town Rec, 5. N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 1906) Mr. Vincent states that the above named children were those of Jonathan 4 (Isaac 3, 2, William 1), a brother of Isaac, above, and Capt. Nathaniel, below. He was b. May 4, 1752; m. Mar. 26, 1776, Phebe, dau. of Nathaniel and Mary (Fithian) Talmage, of East Hampton; d. in 1822. She was b. Oct. 23, 1756; d. June 18, 1848. They had seven children: Jonathan 5, b. Dec. 23, 1776; Talmage 5, b. Oct. 20, d. Dec. 8, 1778; Mary 5, b. Jan. n, 1780; Talmage 5, b. July 6, 1782; Phebe 5, b. May 2, 1787; Jeannette 5, b. Mar. 25, 1790; David 5, b. May 21, 1794. (Family Bible, owned by Mr. J. H. Barnes, of East Hampton) The U. S. Census of 1790 showed that there was but one Jonathan Barns Family in East Hampton, in that year: Jonathan, Sr.; sons Jonathan and Talmage, under 16 years old; wife Phebe, and daughters Mary and Phebe. On June 23, 1786, Jonathan 4 was appointed Capt. of a Co. in a Regt. of which David Pierson, Esq., was the Lt. Col. As Capt. Barns, he had his dau. "Genette" bapt. May 2, 1790; and his son David, bapt. in July, 1794. Mr. Vincent also quotes Barnes Gen. (1903) and Barnes Family Year Book (1908) as to Jonathan 4 (Stephen 3, 2, William 1), first named above. His wife, Elizabeth, whom he m. Aug. 4. 1757, was a dau. of Hezekiah and Sarah (Mason) Woodruff. She d. Feb. 13, 1814; he d. Jan. 7, 1807.

BARNES MARTHA 4 (William 3, 2, 1; aunt of Capt. Eli, above and Jeremiah, above)— From East Hampton to E. Berlin. (See Capt. Eli Barnes) BARNES NATHANIEL 4, CAPT. (Brother of Isaac, above)— From Amagansett, in East Hampton, to Stonington; and thence to Westerly R. I., probably late in the War. Hon. Henry P. Hedges stated that he settled in New London and left descendants there. Mr. Vincent states that Acors 6, Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Barnes — Bassett 263 grandson of Capt. Nathaniel, was the one who settled in New London. Nath aniel 4 was Capt. of a Ship; also of a Privateer. (Page 239) In Sept., Oct., and Nov. , 1 7 76, he brought over part of the effects of these Refugees ; Col. Abraham Gardiner (C. 52); Nathaniel Huntting, to Saybrook (C. 81); Burnet Miller, to Stonington (C. 101); Nathaniel Mulford, to Saybrook (C. in); Serjt. Maj. Patrick Sinnot, to Saybrook. (C. 142) His claim for expenses was paid to David Gelston, Dec. 3, 1777. (C. 203) He may have served in Harper's Levies (G. 56); and, as a Capt. in the Conn. Militia. (G. 83) He is called " Mariner " in all conveyances. A deed of Dec. 9, 1782, shows him to have been, at that time, still residing in East Hampton. On February 14, 1785, Nathaniel Barns, late of Stonington, Conn., now of Westerly, R. I., Mariner, bought of Hannah Stanton Park, for ^105, ten lots of land in Lottery Village, now Avondale. (Westerly Land Evidence 11. 238. Supplemented by Mr. Vincent) He d. before Nov. 14, 1817, when George and Sally (Barns) Brown of Putnam, N. Y., quit-claimed to Joshua Robinson of Stonington, Conn., for $60, all right, etc., in three lots of land — the same lots which were formerly owned by Nathaniel Barns, late of Westerly, deceased.

I. branch until about 1814. The Mass. branch, apparently, changed the spelling more than a century earlier. The latter branch originated with Thomas I, who came from England and was made Freeman in the Mass. Colony, in 1640. Among his sons was John 2, who had a son John 3. The line then runs: Joseph 4, Adam 5, Jonathan 6. (Bailey Gen., Hollis R. Bailey) The first of the name on L. I. was John 1, b. in England, in 1617. In 1654, he came to New Haven, and thence to Southold. Afterward he ap peared at Jamaica; and in Westchester Co., N. Y. He had sons: John 2, Stephen 2, and Joseph 2, who removed to Huntington where he appears in the Town Records, 1664-1694. (Moore's " Index," pp. 6, 54, 55) No proof that John 1 was the father of Stephen 2 is known to exist. (Miss Lucy D. Akerly) An Elias Bayley went from Stamford, Conn., to Newtown, L. I., where he was living in 1657. He was attorney to Rev. Richard Denton. (Hunting ton's " Stamford," p. 49) John 1, above, is said to have had a son, Benoni 2, b. at Danbury, Conn., in 1696; whose family Bible is owned by his descend ant, Mr. Joseph Trowbridge Bailey, of Philadelphia. (Mr. Hollis R. Bailey) Stephen 2, m. (1) Abigail , (2) Mary • ; d. Apr. 23, 1715. He appears in the Southold Town Rec, 1676-1711. (Moore, as above) He m.

(Liber D, or E, MS. Southold Town Rec. Also Salmon Rec.) Moore (as above) also gives to Stephen 2 a son, Dea. Benjamin 3, below; but the two records, quoted above, do not confirm this. They make him Dea. Benjamin 4 (Stephen 3, 2, John 1). As it cannot be determined, we follow Moore, as to the gen erations. Dea. Benjamin 3, b. in 1699; m. Nov. 19, 1723, Susanna Conklin; d. Nov. 10, 1770. She d. Nov. 1, 1769, aged 66. (Liber E, MS. Southold Town Rec. Salmon Rec. Tombstones at Southold) He had sons: Benjamin 4; Jonathan 4, d. y.; Stephen 4; Capt Gamaliel 4; Capt.

Benjamin 3 , Stephen 2 , John 1 )— From Southold. In Sept. and Oct., 1776, his effects were taken to Killing- worth and Guilford by Capts. Benjamin Conkling and David Landon — the latter reporting four passengers. (C. 20, 164) He was in Guilford, in 1777; as appears by the following, the original of which is in the possession of Mr. William Wirt Bailey, Middletown, N. Y — Guilford March ye 6th ye 1777. Received of [Capt.] Jonathan Bayley the sum of seventeen Pounds two [Shillings?] and Eleven pence New York currency for Ephram Sayer, Isaac Liskam, James Benjamin — Per me [Capt.] Jonathan Vail. Mr. Bailey has, also, a receipt given to Capt. Jonathan Bayley by Theo philus Morgan, on March 2, 1777, showing that Capt. Bayley was in Killing- worth on that date. It is evident that he remained but a short time in Conn.; for he had already lived in Goshen, Orange Co., N. Y., before he took title to a farm, in that Co., Mar. 4, 1777. He signed the Association in 1775. (H. 10, 12) He served as Capt. in Col. Terry's Regt. (G. 4, 8); in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 19, 38), by appoint ment of the Committee of Safety, May 3, 1776. In this latter service he marched his Co. the whole length of L. I. and took part in the Battle of Aug. 27, 1776. The following extracts are from the Note Book of Capt. Jonathan Bailey, as transcribed by his son, Jonathan 5. (See Page 41) The Note Book is owned by Miss Antoinette Elmer, of Waverly, N. Y. — My father [Capt. Jonathan Bayley] followed his trade until the Revolutionary War broke out. He then raised a company of volunteers and went into the army, under Washington, on Long Island. The Americans had thrown up an entrenchment across the island (Man hattan Island) from the north to the East River, in which our troops lay, the British being in sight, a little to the east. Here, I will mention a circumstance. A party from the British started out from their camp straight toward the American lines. It was supposed to recon noitre and try the strength of their works. Washington rode along in the rear and seeing them coming, said to his troops, " Lay still in your entrenchments till they come so near that you can count the buttons on their coats and can tell the color of their eyes; then, all rise at once and make sure of your aim, and I will warrant they will retreat." They did so. They all fired at once and they did retreat and ran back like a flock of sheep. He said their regiment had been on duty all day and all night. They were told the next day, they might go the next night upon the hill into an old, forsaken house there and get some rest and sleep. They did so. Early next morning they paraded down to the lines, when behold, the troops were all gone; nobody at all to be seen. What to do they did not know. They supposed they had marched down to Brooklyn in order to cross the river to New York. They concluded to follow on. They were not willing, a single regiment, to stay there in the face of the whole British army. There being a good many cedar rails in the place, they thought to deceive the enemy by heaping them in piles and setting them on fire, leading the enemy to suppose that all the troops were still there, then to walk off without any one giving any orders. They first walked on awhile.then raised a trot and finally got on a run ; did not get far away when they met Gen. Putnam riding back, saying, " Who gave you orders to leave the lines? " They had not a word to say; nobody had given them any orders to leave the lines. He said there were some tents left standing; they must wheel about, march back and strike the tents and bring them, which they did ; then march to Brooklyn. There the troops were huddled together at the ferry 266 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut like a flock of sheep for washing. Boats being busy in carrying them across, they fell in a little below the rest. Seeing some boats start from New York, their Colonel beckoned to them and they got over before a good many of the rest. After crossing they marched up to Harlem, or King's Bridge, where the Americans were stationed. They had to march in open sight of the British ships in the East River, which kept up a constant fire on them. The balls went mostly over their heads. In order to march at ease they marched at trailed arms. There came a ball which passed between their ranks and struck a soldier's gun and knocked it against his leg, which knocked him down and broke his gun to pieces. He jumped up saying: " Damn their blood, they spoiled my gun." Later, he served as Capt. in Col. Drake's Provisional Regt. (G. 10) After serving his term of enlistment he removed to Goshen, Orange Co., where he lost his first wife. He then removed to Stewart Town. He tookpart in the Battle of Minisink, and had many narrow escapes from the Indians. He purchased a tract of land of Judge Wickham, at Ridgebury, and d. there.

Caul kins (" New London," p. 298) states that Matthew Beckwith, one of the early settlers, d. in 1681; also, that his sons John and Benjamin remained at N.

Fox have found evidence that the wife of Matthew I was named Mary; and that if Buckland m. an Elizabeth, she may have been a dau. of Matthew 1 , and perhaps a Widow. They doubt if Matthew I had a son, Benjamin; as they are unable to find a Benjamin earlier than the fourth gen. BECKWITH PHEBE, MRS.— From Brookhaven to Guilford and Lyme.

Therefore, it will be followed here. The Family, in America, originated with John 1 who arrived in 1650, with his wife Rebecca.

Dr. John B. Lewis, of Hartford, Conn., gives this origin: — John I, with his son Richard 2, and dau. Mary 2, sailed from England in the ship " Lion," Capt. Mason, June 27, 1632; and arrived in Boston, Sept. 16, 1632. He settled in Watertown, Mass., and d. there. Among his eight children were: John 2; Richard 2, b. in England, m. Anna, d. about 1681; Mary 2, d. in 1642 leaving a will in which she mentions her " Aunt Wines." Richard 3, son of Richard 2 and Anna, b. in 1645. His father removed to Southold when Richard 3 was about eight years of age. He m. Elizabeth ; and settled in Cutchogue.

(Nathan 3, Richard, 2, 1)— From South- old to Saybrook, in 1777; and afterward to Guilford. (A. 43) On May 26, 1780, he petitioned for leave to return with his wife and children; which was granted. (E. 96, 97) He was a Lt. in Capt. Josiah Lupton's Co. of Colonial Militia, in 1775. He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 13) He was one of the pioneers who went into the western part of Southold Town (since 1792 Riverhead) known as the " Great Woods," or the " 3rd Survey " and there built his house, and reared his family. He probably settled there as early as 1750. Then, and many years later, there were no roads that any wagon could travel on, only stone-boats or ponderous ox-carts. Travel was all foot or mounted. There was little in that section to tempt soldier marauders, yet they came in small parties, levying on the inhabitants to supply their needs, getting milk and its products, flesh of course, sometimes killing it themselves, other times compelling the owner and his friends. Mr. B. was a large man, enterprising, and industrious, and when they attacked his store of hay and rye, his cider and meat barrel, and turned their horses in his grain field, he got wrathy, and defied " all the British this side of h ." But numbers count, and he got the worst end. He got away, but didn't stay long. There was no need. The troops soon left, no doubt to spoil some one else. He had a large farm. He owned the highest cliffs on the Sound shore, nearly half mile wide, from the Sound to the Manor Line, nearly, or quite four miles long. Some of his descendants still live on portions of the old place, but a dozen or more prosperous farmers also occupy its level acres. (Mr. James F. Young) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 2; under 16, 2. Females — above 16, 2; under 16, 2. (A. 55) He was b. in 1733; m. Feb. 13, 1775, Jemima Aldridge (Aldrich); d.

Clinton stating that Joseph Bowne desired to bring his wife and two children out from N. Y. City where they resided at that time. (Clinton Pap., 5. 402) He probably served in the 2nd Dutchess. (G. 64) He is on record as Clerk of the Committee of Flush ing, June 27, 1776. (Misc. Pap., 35. 645) Joseph Bowne, Clerk of the Sub-Committee for Flushing " to carry out the resolution of the Continental and Provincial Congresses," is believed to have been the son of Joseph, who d. before June 20, 1753.

In 1620 he came over on the first voyage of the " Mayflower," and was the fourth signer of the Mayflower Compact, Nov. II, 1620 (Old Style). He had children: Jonathan 2; Patience 2; Fear 2; a child, 2, sex not stated; Love 2; and Wrestling 2, d. y. Hon. Jonathan 2, b. Aug. 12, 1593, at Scrooby, Eng.; d.

Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, Apr. 1911) Benjamin 3, m. in 1659, Anna Dart. (Caulkins, as above, p. 277) From Elder William 1 and Hon. Jonathan 2 descended the only Refugee of the name — Capt. Caleb. It seems to be agreed that Capt. Caleb was a son of Rev. Nathaniel who was in Setauket, in 1655 ; was Minister of the Church at that place; and d. in 1690, said to have been aged 95. He is supposed to have m. Sarah, dau. of Gov. Roger Ludlow. (See Ludlow) Wood ("First Settlements on L. I.," p. 49) does not mention Caleb as a son of Rev. Nathaniel. Neither the pedigree quoted above nor the Brewster Gen. mentions Rev. Nathaniel; but it is not denied by those who are familiar with the history of this Family that he may have been a son of Jonathan 2. Indeed, it is positively so stated. (N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 27. 34) But Wood (as above, p. 47) doubts this. A tombstone at Seymour, Conn., records that Rev. Nathaniel was a son of Jonathan 2. If so, the Refugee was Capt. Caleb 4, as is claimed by his descendant Mr. Alfred Seelye Roe. Mr. Roe thinks that Thompson (" Long Island ") is wrong in making Rev. Nathaniel a nephew of Elder William; when he was either a son, or a grandson. Another descendant of Elder William 1, Capt. John Reynolds Totten, thinks that Rev. Nathaniel was the son of a son of Jonathan 2 ; thus making Rev. Nathaniel 4, and Capt. Caleb 5. Still another informant puts Capt. Caleb a generation later, thus: Capt. Caleb 6, Benjamin 5, Daniel 4, Rev. Nathaniel 3, Jonathan 2, William 1. Mr. Selah B. Strong thinks that Capt. Caleb was a son of Daniel 4; but he is positive that Rev. Nathaniel could not have been a son of Jonathan 2, because they seemed to be about the same age. If Capt. Caleb was a son of Benjamin 5, then he was probably one of the two sons over 16 years of age, by the Census of 1776. That Census gave this record to Benjamin, of Brook haven: Males — over 50 years, 1; over 16, 2. Females — over 16, 4; under 16, I. (A. 51) BREWSTER CALEB, CAPT.— From Setauket, in Brookhaven. He was in Norwalk, in 1780; and in Fairfield, Mar., 1781 ; at which time he was allowed to take Ebenezer Piatt to L. I. (F. 5) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 19, 21) He was 2d Lt. of Minute Men, in Brookhaven, Dec. 22, 1775 and Apr. 4, 1776, in Col. Smith's Regt. (jour. Prov'l Cong. Also G. 4, 6, 18, 35) He was Ens. in the 4th Line (G. 47, 48); and Capt.-Lt. in the 2d Art'y of the Line. (G. 50) He was in the Whale-Boat Expedition to Brookhaven, late in 1776 (Pages 220, 222); and he was prominent in Gen. Parsons' Raid on Setauket, in 1777, and in Maj. Tallmadge's attack on Fort St. George, in 1780. (Pages 83, 228, 234, 237, 238) In 1781, he reported that a raid on Miller's Place had been made (Pages 204, 205) ; and, in the same year, he captured an armed boat from the enemy, and brought both boat and crew to Black Rock Cove. (Page 219) In 1778, he was employed as a confidential and secret agent of Congress; and he devoted himself, through the remainder of the struggle, in procuring and transmitting the most minute, accurate and important intelligence relative to the movements and intentions of the enemy at different points, and, particularly in New York and on Long Island; for which he was un commonly well qualified. _[H. 35. Also Chap. 7] He was badly wounded in " The Boat Fight," on Dec. 7, 1782. [Chap. 26] During this short, but terrible, conflict, his shoulder was pierced by a rifle ball, which passed out at his back. His prudence and resolution enabled him to keep this occurrence a profound secret till the enemy surrendered ; when he found himself exhausted from the effusion of blood. After reaching the shore, he was confined, under the hands of a Surgeon, for some time. For the injury thus received he was placed upon the Pension Roll of the Army, and contin ued to receive a gratuity from his Country for the remainder of his life. On Mar. 9, 1783, he captured the British Ship " Fox.'.' [Chap. 24] He participated in several other important and hazardous engagements, while attached to the Line of the Army. On June 21, 1790, Gen. Henry Knox, U. S. Sec'y of War, reported to the House of Repre sentatives on the petition of Capt. Brewster [reciting his services, as above]. That he per formed this arduous and hazardous service with fidelity, judgment and bravery, and to the entire approbation of Gen. Washington, appears by his letter written to Captain Brewster, as well as by his certificate, bearing date June 10, 1784. (Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 513-516) He was a Pensioner, in 1790; and a Member of the Cincinnati. (" N. Y. State Soc'y of the Cincinnati ") He was Lt. and then Capt. of the Revenue Cutter for the district of New York from 1793 to 1816, excepting three years. He was Sheriff of " Suffolk Co.," 1810 and 1812-1814. Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Brewster — Brown 279 He was b. at Setauket, in 1747; m.

On Oct. 30, 1776, the Albany County Committee ordered that the Treasurer pay Mr. William Van Ness ,£30, to be delivered to the Committee appointed to furnish two of the Brower Family Refu gees from Long Island with such neccessaries as they may stand in need of. This was addressed to Mr. G. Lansing, Jr. Treas'r; and signed by Mat. Viss- cher, Sec'y. _ (Rev'y MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y, 40. 17) It is possible that the Refugees were Nicholas Brower and his children. He was a son of Nicholas who ran back to Annekje Jans and Dominie Bogar- dus. Nicholas, the son, b. Mar. 8, 1747; m. May 7, 1771, Mary, dau. of Benjamin Birdsall; d. • — , . At the beginning of the War he had three children; Nicholas B., b. Apr. 26, 1772; Martha, b. Jan. 15, 1774; Benjamin F., b.

(G. 42) It may be that the Refugees were the Family of Samuel Brower, consist ing of himself, wife and six children. They came from N. Y. City. On July 4, 1776, they were stopping with Thuris Du Bois, near Fishkill Landing. The comment, by D. Brinckerhoff, Jr., is: " This Family was not returned to me but applyed for Assistance as a Refugee from New York. I assisted them but expect they can do for themselves now." (Rev'y MSS., 49. 5) The line now represented in Utica, N. Y. is from William Hendrickse who settled in New Amsterdam about 1650. He, later, moved to Albany; and, after his death, his sons settled in Schenectady, N. Y., where our line resided until my father moved to Utica. (Mr. A. Vedder Brower) An interesting sketch of the Browers of Kings County may be found in the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 9. 126. BROWN — Griffin, who is usually unreliable as to generations, makes the following statements ("Journal," pp. 18, 19, 208-211, 241, 242): — Israel, Richard and Samuel were of the first six settlers in Oyster Ponds (now Orient) , 1645 to 1650.

In Sept., 1776, he was brought over, with four passengers and goods, by Capt, Jonathan Vail; and, in Oct., one passage and freight to Guilford, by Capt. John Ingraham. (C. 15) A Reuben signed the Association, from Brook haven, in 1775. (H. 20) He served, both as private and Serjt., in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 36, 37); perhaps in Weissenfels' Levies and the 4th Westchester (G. 57, 80); and prob ably in Conn. (G. 85) He was b. about 1734; m. Elinor Youngs, Sept. 26, 1765. The Census of 1776 gave him a son and a dau., both under 16 years old. A. (55) His son David, bapt. July 31, 1768; and his dau. Elizabeth, Aug. I, 1773. His wife d.

No. 87) BROWN SAMUEL— Probably from Oyster Ponds to Guilford. In Sept., 1776, with two in the family, he was moved over by Capt. Thomas Leete. (C. 94) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 15) Another Samuel, from Southampton, also signed. (H. 33) One of this name was a private and a Corp. in the 4th Line (G. 47, 48); and it is stated that he was from South ampton. Others served in the 3d Line; Weissenfels', Malcom's, Dubois' and Graham's Levies; and the 4th Westchester (G. 46, 57, 58, 59, 60, 80); and in Conn. (G. 85) The name occurs several times in the Rev'y MSS., State Lib'y, Albany, N. Y. — thus leading to confusion. It is certain that Samuel, the Refugee, was not the Jus. of the Peace, in Conn. (I. 2) Nor is it likely that he was the Samuel 4 (Joseph 3, Joseph 2, Israel 1), b. July 19, 1767, who went on the N. River boats, with Augustus Griffin, in 1788. (Griffin's " Journal ") It is still less probable that he was No. 52, in the Brown Gen., b. in 1734; or No. 54, b. in 1722; or the son of No. 54, b. in 1753.

(Mallmann's " Shelter Island," p. 307) In Sept. and Oct. 1777, he was moved from Shelter Island up the Conn. River by Capt. John Vail. (C. 177) He served in the 4th Line. (G. 48) There was a Capt. of this name in the 1st Line (G. 43); there were privates in the 3d line, Malcom's and WMlett's Levies, the 2d, 3d and 4th Westchester (G. 46, 58, 62, 78, 79, 80); and several of the name served in Conn. (G. 85) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 31) Another William, from Brookhaven, also signed. (H. 20) He was not of the Southold Browns; but from Rev. Chad who came from England to Providence, in 1638. He was one of the original proprietors; and, m 1648, he was ordained the first pastor of the Baptist Church. (Mall- mann, as above, p. 45) He was b.

He was with Gen. Nathaniel Woodhull, near Jamaica, Aug. 26-28, 1776; and advised that the Militia should not proceed. (Pages 41, 173. Also Wood's " First Settlements on L.

(H. 29) He was on the Committee of Huntington; and on the Committee of the 1st Regt., in 1775. (G. 1) On Nov. 20, 1778, he was paid ^"480 for apprehen ding Claudius Smith under a proclamation by Gov. Clinton. (Rev'y MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y. 31.3) On account of his activities he was especially the target of the British. (Pages 206, 222) He was driven from the Island, and his farm was seized. Afterward, he drove the then occupant from it; and, until lately, it has been held by his descendants. He was taken Prisoner in Oct., 1780 (Page 120. Also F. 124); and confined in the Provost, in N. Y. City. While there, his name was struck from the roll of Prisoners of War, and put on the criminal roll. (Clinton Pap., 6. 722. Also Onderdonk's " Suffolk Co.," p. 94; and " Scrap Book," 1866, p. 20.

Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 33, 34); and, possibly, in the 2d Orange. (G. 73) He served at the Danbury Raid; at Ridgefield; in an excursion to Peekskill; and in the Conn. Militia, a part of the time on coast guard duty. (N. Y. State Sons of Rev'n Year Book — 1909, p. 353) In Jan., 1780, he petitioned the Conn. Gen. Ass'y for relief from the poll tax. (E. 32) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 29) He was b. Oct. 14, 1751; m. Laura Starr; d. Oct. 29, 1835. (Miss Nettie E. Pearsall) The father of Robert was from Huntington; and, at one time, a civil officer, a supervisor perhaps, of that Town. I do not recall his Christian name; nor that of Robert's mother. The progenitors of Robert were the same as those of the late Conklin Brush, sometime Mayor of Brooklyn, and the late Prof. Geo. J. Brush of Vale University. After the Revolution, Robert settled at North Salem, Westchester Co., N. Y., where he owned land and a mill on the Titicus River which he operated. He was warden and vestryman of St. James' P. E. Church, at Salem. He went to Pine Plains shortly before his death. I am quite sure that he had brothers and sisters; but I have lost track of their names. Robert Brush b. at Huntington, L. I., in I-752; m. Laura Starr, of Bethel, Conn.; d. at Pine Plains, Oct. 29, 1835. His children were: Alfred, a resident of Pine Plains; Robert Starr; Laura, m. Charles Knox, of N. Y.

(B. 2) He was a Lt. in Col. Floyd's Regt.; and, also, in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 1, 6, 16, 33); and, probably, a Lt. in the 4th Line. (G. 48) In Nov., 1776, he was rewarded for bringing Prisoners from L. I. to Norwich, Conn. (A. 19) In Feb., 1779, he petitioned for relief from the Comm'rs of Sequestration. (B. 2) As Maj., he went over to L. I., in Oct., 1780, and was captured. (G. 10) He was one of the " Sons of Liberty." (Leake's " Life of John Lamb," p. 4) It is probable that he was the Thomas, Jr. mentioned in Thompson's " Long Island." (1. 199) Also in Hon. Henry C. Piatt's " Huntington Address " — 1876. Both Thomas and Thomas, Jr., signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 29) Thomas, Jr., was on the Committee of Huntington. BRYANT GILBERT 5 (Augustine 4, Alexander 3, Richard 2, Alexan der 1) — From Huntington to Conn. (Hon. Henry C. Piatt's " Huntington Address" — 1876) He signed the Association, in 1775.

Joseph, Jr. 3 had sons: Isaac 4; Rev. Piatt 4, Pastor of a Church in Greenwich, Conn. ; and Josiah 4, d. y. Isaac 4 had a son, Judge William Piatt 5, b. in 1793, d. in 1874; whose son, William Theodore 6 now (1912), at the age of 83, lives in Jersey City, N. J. (Mrs. Gilbert Scudder. Mr. William T. Buffett) BUFFETT JOSIAH 3 (Joseph 2, John 1)— From Huntington. In Jan., 1780, he petitioned the Conn. Gen. Ass'y for relief from the poll tax. (E. 32) It is a Family tradition that Josiah Buffett was taken Prisoner during the Rev'n by the British — but managed to escape and to remain in hiding, visiting his family at night, until the Sound freezing over he escaped to Conn. (Josiah 6 Buffett) Hon. Henry C. Piatt (" Old Times in Huntington ") includes Josiah Buf fett in a list of Refugees from Huntington " who at various times crossed the Sound to Conn, on service in the Patriot Cause." In Huntington Town Rec. (Vol. 3. p. 62) is an incomplete list of Huntington men who never sur rendered, or took the Oath of Allegiance to the Crown, and had their farms confiscated: " The farm of Josiah Buffett by Stanton & Burdseye," Record dated. Apr. 13, 1780. In 1782, Josiah Buffett is listed as a taxpayer. But it would appear that he never retrieved his fortunes; for, June I, 1786, having died, his property is disposed of under letters of Administration granted to John Brush, creditor. In letters of Administration he is described " Josiah Buffett mariner, of Huntington." The name appears, in Islip, in the Census of 1 776 : Males — above 16 years, 1 ; Females — above 16, 1. (A. 47) It is evident that this was not the Refugee. 286 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut He was bapt. Mar. 28, 1736; m. Rachel Wicks; d. in 1786. It is probable that the Wid.

His children were: Theodorus, Jacob, John, Joseph, Sarah Ann and Grace Catherine. (Mr. Theodore Burroughs) CARL— CARLE— CARLEY— CARLL— The name is spelled in these several ways. Sometimes it is of Quaker origin. (Griffin's " Journal ") The first of the name was Ananias 1 Carle, of Hempstead, who settled in Huntington about 1698. His son, Ananias 2, m. Hannah Piatt who survived him and m. (2) Rev. Ebenezer Prime as his third wife. (See Prime) Ananias 2 had: Phebe 3 who m. Lt. Henry Scudder (See Scudder); Mary 3 who m. Obadiah Piatt; and Capt. Timothy 3, of the Rev'y Army, whose g. grandson David now lives at Huntington. Another statement is that Timothy I was the father of Ananias 2 ; and that the latter, beside Phebe 3, Mary 3 and Capt. Timothy 3, had several other children including Piatt 3 and John 3. If this is true, John 3 may have been the Refugee, below. Still another state ment is that Thomas, who first appears in Hempstead in 1658, m. Sarah, dau. of Jonas Halstead, and was the father of Ananias 1. (Mr. George W. Cocks) The name is also said to be of Scotch origin. Thomas 1 , of Hempstead, m. about 1656, Sarah, dau. of Jonas Halstead. He d. in 1675. He had: John 2; Elizabeth 2, m.

Cocks) CONCLIN— CONCKLIN— CONCKLYN — CONKLIN — CONKLINE— CONKLING — The name was spelled in these several ways in the Parish Registers, by the Town Clerks, and by the individuals themselves. Even members of the same family spelled the name differently — a husband, Conk ling; and his wife, Conklin. It is proper, and less confusing, to reduce all to the more modern, and generally accepted, spelling — Conkling. The Hunt ington branch, however, consistently spells the name — Conklin. Ananias Conkling was made a freeman at Salem, May 18, 1642. He re moved to East Hampton, in 1650: and his brother John, to Southold, where he d. in 1694, aged 64. (Savage's " Gen'l Diet.," 1.441) It is probable that this Ananias was the one who m. Feb. 23, 1630 — 1, Mary Launder. (Register of St. Peter's, Nottingham, Eng.) Ananias 1 removed to East Hampton, in 1650. Probably he did not tarry long in Southold. _ We follow, for the most part, the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 27. 152; which is condensed in Hedges " East Hampton," pp. 251-253. Ananias I.d.in 1657, had: Jeremiah 2, b. in 1634, m.

Cornelius 2, had: Cornelius, Jr., 3, m. in 1715, Deborah Mulford; William 3, m. Nov. 26, 1718, Ruth Hedges. Benjamin 2, had: John 3, d. in 1746; and Ananias 3, m. Hannah .

Nov. 5, 1724, Mary Jones; Nathan 4, b. in 1705, m. Phebe Parsons; and Lemuel 4, b. in 17 13. The first of the name known in Huntington appears to have been John 1 , probably brother of Ananias 1, above, who was b. about 1600; and had a son John 2, b. in England, in 1630. John 1 came from England, having m. Eliza beth Allseabrook, Jan. 24, 1625, at St. Peter's, Nottingham; and lived in Salem, Mass., in 1649. Hem. (2) Mary . John Conclin, Sr., with his son Timothy 2, came from Southold and settled in Huntington. His other sons, John, Jr. 2, Jacob 2, Benjamin 2, and Joseph 2, settled at Southold. Miss Lucy D. Akerly thinks that he did not have sons, Benjamin 2 and Joseph 2. John, Sr. and his son Timothy 2 owned land at West Neck. They were both freeholders, and their names appear in the Records and Rate Bills. Timothy 2 was one of the purchasers from the Indians under Gov. Fletcher's Patent of 1694. He had four sons, Timothy, Jr. 3, John 3, Jacob 3 and Cor nelius 3, all residing on West Neck during early life. Cornelius 3 went to Cold Spring; John 3 moved to Clay Pitts; Timothy 3 remained on West Neck, and the Conklins of Huntington are mostly his descendants. (Hon. Henry C. Piatt's " Huntington address " — -1876) Timothy 2 and his sons probably lived at Hashamomock for a time. (Miss Lucy D. Akerly) It has been stated that John 1 was one of the original settlers at Southold; and one of those who constituted the Church of Rev. John Youngs thereat. (Griffin's " Journal." " Hauock Ancestry " &c) Moore (" Index," pp. 12, 13, 67-71) shows that he was in the Southold TownRec, 1655-1683; and gives him sons, Capt. John 2, Benjamin 2 and Timothy 2. Mr. J. Wickham Case, in a note on John Conklin, speaks of Benjamin 2 and Joseph 2 as sons assigned to John 1 (in Moore's " Index;" but he thinks they were grandsons. (Southold Town Rec, 1. 90) Mr. Case is probably right — as the will of John 1 does not mention sons, Benjamin and Joseph. (Session Book 1. Riverhead, L. I.) The statement of Savage as to the death of John has been followed by many, including Griffin; but it refers to John 2, son of John 1. John 1 d., at Huntington, Feb. 23, 1684. The tombstone, at Southold, is that of John 2, who d. Apr. 6, 1694. (N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 29. 117) Previous to 1683, he [John 1] had removed to Huntington.

(Mallmann's " Shelter Island," p. 300. Also Moore, as above) Thomas 5 bought land at Aquebogue, Jan. 30, 1754. (South- old Town Rec.) The Southold Conklins lived originally in Hashamomock (E. of Southold Village); and then many of them settled in Aquebogue. The Aquebogue Conklins are the ones most frequent (John, Benjamin, Joseph, Thomas, Nathaniel, Henry, David, Samuel &c) in the Church Register. It looks to me as if the Conklings, who were Refugees from Southold, were mostly of Aquebogue. Since 1792, their region has been in Riverhead Town; but in Revolutionary days it was in Southold. (Rev. Charles E. Craven) Miss Lucy D. Akerly thinks that they removed from Southold to Huntington. Timothy 2 was at Huntington, in 1666.

(A. 48) CONKLING JOHN 5, CAPT. (Capt. John 4, John 3, Timothy 2, John 1 ; father of Capt. Cornelius, above) — From Huntington. On Jan. 7, 1780, he petitioned the Gen. Ass'y of Conn, for relief from the poll tax. (E. 32) On April 18, 1780, he was allowed to go to L. I., and to bring back leather and cloth belonging to John Sloss Hobart. (E. 42, 43) On June 13, 1780, he had a pass to cross L. I. Sound in the Illicit Trade. (Page 212. Also F. 117) He was Capt. of a ship. (Page 239. Also references, above) In Oct., 1780, he was taken Prisoner. (Page 120. Also F. 124) On land, he may have been a private in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 34) He signed the Association, in 1775.

On Jan. 15, 1777, with his family and goods, he was moved over by Capt. Richard Spink. (C. 178) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 10, 12) Another John, from Brookhaven, also signed. (H. 20) The name appears in the 2d, 3d and 5th of the Line (G. 44, 46, 49) ; Additional Corps and Artificers of the Line (G. 54, 67); Col. Drake's Provisional Regt. (G. 10); Harper's, Weissenfels', Malcom's and Pawling's Levies (G. 56, 57, 58, 61); the 2d, 3d, 6th and 7th Dutchess (G. 64, 65, 68, 69); the 1st and 2d Orange (G. 72, 73); and the 3d Westchester. (G. 79) John of the 5th Line was taken Prisoner at Ft. Montgomery in Oct. ,1777. (" Archives of the State of N. Y. — The Rev'n," p. 223) One was a Serjt. in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 37) The Census of 1776 showed two of the name in Southold. The first: Males — above 50 years, 1; above 16 years, 1. Females — above 16, 4. The second: Males — above 16 years, 1; under 16, 1. Females — above 16, 3; under 16, 3. (A. 55) If the line given above is not correct, the diffi culty of identifying John, the Refugee from Southold, is not solved by a study of the Mattituck Ch. Rec. — for we find therein Johns: m. to Desire ; to Elizabeth ; to Sarah Hubbard; and to Hannah Petty; also the baptisms of several children. The Smithtown Ch. Rec. also shows Johns: m. to Martha Smith; and to Ruth Barto. CONKLING JONATHAN ( )— From Southold to Guilford. After Sept. 5, 1776, with four passengers and effects, he was brought over by Capt. Benjamin Conkling. (C. 18) In Sept. and Oct. 1776, with two passengers, he was brought over by Capt. David Landon. (C. 164) In 1779, he petitoned for leave to purchase bread in N. Y. (B. 3) In April, 1780, he petitioned for leave to return with his family and his effects; which was granted. (E. 34-36) In May, 1780, he was permitted to take some stock with him. (E. 60, 61) Census of 1776: Males — above 50 years, 1; above 16 years, 2. Females — above 16, 2; under 16, 1. (A. 55) There is a mystery about this Jonathan, who was over 50 years of age in 1776.

CONKLING JONATHAN Jr., 5 (Cineus 4, Lewis 3, Jeremiah 2, Ananias 1; brother of Benjamin, above, Joseph, Two, below, and Lt. Nathaniel, 304 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut below — see the latter for explanation)— From Southold to Saybrook and Chester. In Sept., 1776, his effects were brought to Saybrook by Capt. Zebulon Stow (C. 144); and, same month, with eight passengers to Saybrook, West Parish (now Westbrook) , by Capts. James Wiggins and James Harris. (C. 26) On Sept. 13, and Oct. 8-12, 1776, his effects, with those of Joseph, Two, below, were brought to Saybrook and Chester by Capts. Samuel Sanford and Joseph Hallock. (C. 27) On Mar. 28, 1780, he was allowed to go to L. I. for his effects, being recommended by the Authorities of Middletown. (D. 47) On May 16, 1780, he petitioned for leave to return to L. I. with his family, furniture and stock. In the petition he mentioned that his father had returned to L. I. " last Spring;" but he did not give the name of his father. He was recommended by the Authorities of Saybrook ; and the peti tion was granted. (E. 62, 63) He signed the Association in 1775. (H. 10, 12) Evidently, he was the younger of the Jonathans; and possibly the one (b. about 1754) who served in Col. Smith's /'at,**"^*. £? y/?' Regt. (G. 38) He also served in the 3d miUfc&ix. fcryt0es*q Lilfe (G. 46); in Col. Drake's Provisional ^* jy Regt. (G. 10); and possibly in the 3d " and 4th Westchester. (G. 79, 80) The Census of 1776 gave a Jonathan, of Southampton, E. Dist.: Males — ¦ above 16 years, 1; under 16, 2. Females — above 16, 1; under 16, 3. (A. 54) Another Jonathan, b. at Essex, Conn., in 1742; m. Jan. 25, 1780, Elizabeth Conkling (Mattituck Ch. Rec); d. at Southold, Mar. 12, 1832. She was b. about 1760; d. at Southold, about 1830. (" L. I. Traveler " — No. 2256) Still another Jonathan, b. Sept. 29, 1743; m. Parnel Booth (1752-1799); d. May 22, 1815. His children were: Parnel, b. Feb. 16, 1772 ; Samuel, b. Sept. 1, 1776; Hester, b. March 7, 1779; William, b. Feb. 18, 1783; Polly, b. April 17. 1785; Repsey, b. April 9, 1787; Charity, b. Dec. 10, 1789; Bradley, b. Dec. 12, 1791; Fanny, b. April 1, 1796. (Same ref., No. 2510) Moore (" Index/') gives only Jonathan 5, of Southold, b. in 1728 — (Henry 4, John 3, Capt. John 2, John 1). He was probably too old to have been Jonathan, Jr. The indications are that Jonathan, Jr., was: Jonathan, b. in 1743, m. Parnel Booth; or, as is most probable, Jonathan, of Col. Smiths' Regt., b. in 1754 — which seems to confirm his line from Cineus 4. A Jonathan, m. Deborah Titus, Wid. of Jesse Piatt. (See Piatt and Titus) CONKLING JOSEPH 5, CAPT. (Joseph, One, 4, below, Ananias 3,. Jere miah 2, Ananias 1; brother of Ananias, above, and Capt. Edward, above) — From Sag Harbor, in East Hampton, to Stonington and Groton. In Sept., 1776, his effects were brought over by Capt. David Sayre (C. 138); and, same month, his effects, and those of his brother, Capt. Edward, were brought over by Capt. Jeremiah Haley. (C. 23) In Nov., 1776, with his family and freight, he was brought over by Capts. Jeremiah Haley and William Warner. (C. 25) He had returned to East Hampton by 1790 (Mr. H. B. Alexander); and he owned property at Sag Harbor, in 1800. (Hon. Henry P. Hedges) Like his brother, Capt. Edward, he was active as a Privateersman. He commanded the " Whim," the " Revenge " and the "Venus;" and he was bondsman for the " Jay " and the " Game Cock." (Pages 216,217,218,239. Also G. 87) He was bapt. May 6, 1739. (East Hamp ton Ch.

Alexander) He was a large land-owner at Sag Harbor; and, in 1775, conveyed 12 acres to his son Edward, mariner. (East Hampton Town Rec.) He may have signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 10, 12) Census of 1776: Males— above 50 years, 1; above 16, 1; under 16, 2. Females— above 16,2; under 16, 4. (A. 52) He was bapt. Nov. 13, 1709; m., Jan. 14, 1730-1, Esther Jones; d.

He came over with his brother, Jonathan Jr., above. It was stated that Joseph remained at Saybrook with his family. (C. 27) He may have signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 10, 12) He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 37) Census of 1776: Males — above 50 years, 1. Females — above 16, 5; under 16, 1. (A. 55) A Joseph, in Aquebogue, had Ananias, bapt. in 1755; Joseph and Mary had Joseph, bapt. in 1758; John and Elizabeth had Joseph, bapt. in 1759; Benjamin and Bethiah had Joseph, bapt. in 1774. (Rev. Charles E. Craven) A Joseph, of St. George's Manor, over 50 years old, had no family. (A. 50) He probably signed the Association in 1775. (H. 20) A Joseph, from Huntington, also signed. (H. 29) Men of this name served as follows: Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 33); 2d Line, as private and Corp. (G. 44); 3d Line (G. 46); Malcom's Levies (G. 58); ist Orange, as private, Lt. and Capt. (G. 72); 2d Orange (G. 73); 4th Orange, as Ens. (G. 75); ist Westchester. (G. 77) In the Pay Roll of Capt. Daniel Roe's Co. there is a Joseph Lonkling, which may have been intended for Conkling. (G. 48) CONKLING NATHANIEL 5, LT. (Cineus 4, Lewis 3, Jeremiah 2, Ananias 1; brother of Benjamin, above, Jonathan, Jr., above, and Joseph, Two, above) — From Southold to Guilford, in Sept., 1776, by Capt. Thomas Leete. (C. 94) On June 12, 1777, from Saybrook, he asked leave to go to L. I. for provisions. (A. 43) He may have signed the Association, from Brookhaven, in 1775. (H. 20) He served as a private and a Lt. in the 4th Line. (G. 46) He is called Capt. in the Family Rec. (Mrs. Ellen C. Beckwith) He was b. about 1757; m. Jemima (1765-1833), dau. of Chris tian Higgins (see Higgins); d. Mar. 23, 1817, aged 60. (Tombstones at Lyme, Conn.) He removed from Guilford to Hartford; and thence to Lyme, where he d. His children were : William Higgins 6, below; James 6; Libbie 6; Elizabeth H. 6, below; Capt. Nathaniel R. 6, below; Benjamin 6, below, Gordon Bailey 6, b. about 1803, d. in 1 83 1 ; John A. 6; Joseph Henry 6, below; Dolly 6; Edmund F. 6; and Mary Anne 6. (Higgins Family Bible) William Higgins 6, b. at Hartford, Conn., in 1788; m. Eliza Gardner; d. in 1867. He was a ship-master; removed to Baltimore, Md., and was owner of several ships in the foreign trade. His son, William Higgins, Jr., 7, has been President of the Savings Bank of Baltimore for many years. Capt. Nathaniel R. 6, b. about 1794; m. Miner, of Lyme; d. in 1888. His dau., Mrs. Ellen C. Beckwith, now (1912) lives at Lyme, Conn. Ben jamin 6, m. Bailey; lived at Middletown, Conn.; and had no children. Joseph Henry 6, b. about 1801 ; m. Avery, of Stonington; d. in 1878. His daughters, Harriet 7 and Jane 7 now live in the old homestead, at Lyme. Elizabeth (Betsy) 6, m. Edward H. Sumner, of Middletown, Conn.; where her dau. Mrs. Robert A. Pease, now lives. (Higgins Family Bible. Also Mrs. Ellen C. Beckwith and Mr. William Higgins Conkling) Recent information enables us to clear up these mysteries: (1) Cineus 4 had Isaac 5, Benjamin 5 (the Refugee) " and possibly others " — as stated in the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec; (2) the absence, in the Rec, of the names and lineages of Jonathan, Jr., Joseph, Two, and Lt. Nathaniel — all of whom were Refugees; (3) the incomplete state of the Family Records relating to these three Refugees. I have always understood there were four brothers who came from England and settled at Conklingville, L. I.; from which place they were driven by the English in 1776, or thereabouts. * * * My father William Higgins 6 had five uncles [brothers of Lt. Nathaniel 5] in the Revolutionary war; one of whom was a Col., who equipped a Regiment at his own expense. (Mr. William Higgins 7 Conkling) Two Conkling brothers, known to have been from L. I., settled in Lyme, Conn., in the latter part of the 18th Century, where their descendants may still be found. One m. a Miner, of Stonington; the other, an Avery, of Groton. (Mrs. Ellen E. Salisbury) Hon. Roscoe Conkling was my cousin. (W. H. C, as above) The latter statement is important. It identifies Lt. Nathaniel 5 as son of Cineus 4, and brother of Benjamin 5. From Lyme, we learn that Joseph, 20 306 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Two, was a brother of Lt. Nathaniel; and as he came over with Jonathan, Jr. (C. 27) he was evidently his brother. Hence we have the sons of Cineus 4: Benjamin 5, Jonathan, Jr., 5, Joseph, Two, 5 and Israel 5 (who had a Rev'y War record, although not a Refugee) — four of the " five uncles," brothers of Lt. Nathaniel 5. As Benjamin m. a Hand, and Lt. Nathaniel m. a Higgins, Mrs. Salisbury's notes relative to marriages, may refer to Jonathan, Jr., or Joseph, Two. CONKLING NATHANIEL, SERJT. ( )— From South- old. He served in Col. Smith's Regt., as private and as Serjt. (G. 7, 20, 37) He probably served on L. I before he went to Orange Co., N. Y.

(Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 454. See also Smith) CONKLING PETER ( )— It is claimed, by his descend ants, that he removed from L. I. to what is now Washingtonville, Orange Co., N. Y. They state that Peter was in the Rev'y War, although the Official Records do not show any service; also that he had a wife and sons, Frank, William and Ananias. (Mrs. Ananias Conklin, Bridgeport, Conn.) CONKLING RICHARD 6 (Richard 5, Thomas 4, Cornelius 3, Timothy 2, John 1 ; brother of Capt. Titus, below) — From Huntington. He was a seaman in the Privateer service. (" N. Y. in the Rev'n," p. 269) As Richard, Jr., he signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 29) He was among those who took refuge from the British in New England. He skirmished with the British at the time they took Danvers and was wounded in the hand. He was a Prisoner in the British Fleet, and as such was confined in the Barbadoes jail. At one time he was a Prisoner on the Admiral's ship in N. Y. Harbor; he escaped and made his way to his home at Cold Spring Harbor. His return was reported and the British attacked the house, firing through the barred door, where he stood until the rest of the family had escaped to a neighbor's. He then retreated through a swamp and the woods to the shore where his vessel lay. During the War of 1812 he captured a vessel loaded with grain and flour for the British.

May 13, 1739; m., Jan. 8, 1761, Mary Bennett, who was bapt. June 23, 1739. (Rear Adm'l E. S. Prime) He was an outspoken Rebel. The British tried to take his team away from him, but he resisted so energetically, with his stout axe, that they were glad to desist. He knocked a British officer down with his fist. The soldiers put chase for him. He ran to his house through the hall way, and out the back door, just as his pursuers came in the front. He escaped across the fields into the woods, and hid in a barn at Cold Spring. The British searched every house and barn in Cold Spring, and came in the barn, where he was secreted under a mow of hay y^' Mar- l6- I752' Mary- dau- of S) ^/-isoryVAUtil ~7%tf>%yftUA%& Capt.

Matthias 1 came from England to Ipswich, Mass., before 1634. He appears in the Records of that Town, 1635-1639. In 1639-1640, he removed to Southold, L. I. (Corwin Gen. Also Thompson's " Long Island." Also Whitaker's " Southold ") Griffin (" Journal," pp. 15, 16) states that he was one of the 13 original settlers there, in 1641. His name appears, in 1652, in the Printed Records of the Town, 1. 12; and, on Dec. 11, 1656, he was one of five appointed to order the Town's affairs. (Town Rec, 1. 330) He d. in 1658. His will, dated Aug. 31, 1658, names wife, Margaret; dau., Martha; and sons, John 2 and Theophilus 2. (Town Rec, 1. 442, 443) The Records do not mention a son, Daniel 2, who is named by Moore. (" Index," pp. 14, 74-76) Moore and the Corwin Gen. make so many conflicting statements that (unless otherwise noted) the later researches of Prof. Robert N.

As he favored the Prov'l Cong., the Tories soon compelled him to seek refuge in Conn. On Apr. 11, 1780, he was permitted to go to L. I. for grain, salt, &c. (Page 115. Also F. 115) He served in Conn. (G. 87) An Amaziah was a pensioner, in 1833. (" N. Y. Pension Roll," Page 428) Prof. Corwin thinks it possible that he was Amaziah 5 (John 4, Theophilus 3, 2, Matthias 1), own cousin to Amaziah, son of Timothy, above. If there were two Amaziahs, the elder must have been the Refugee and the soldier. The younger Amaziah, bapt. Jan. 31, 1762; m. Joanna Brown, Apr. 3, 1785. (Mattituck Ch. Rec.) He d.

On May 30, 1780, he petitioned the Gen. Ass'y. of Conn, for permission to return with his family and property that he might aid his infirm parents; negatived (E. 81) — although he was well recommended by prominent men of Norwich who stated that he had married in Conn., while a Refugee. (E. 82. 83) He then, Feb. 21, 1781, petitioned again, stating that he had a father on L. I.; that his own family consisted of his wife and two small chil dren ; and that, beginning in 1777, he had served for two campaigns in the Conn. Line. (E. 84) This petition was granted. (E. 85) The name of Jonathan appears several times in the records of the War: Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 37) ; 3d Line (G. 46) ; and in Conn. (G. 87) One of the name signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 15) Two Jonathans, from Southold, appear in the Census of 1776: Males — above 50 years, 1; above 16, 2. Females — above 16, 2; under 16, 1. Also: Males — above 16 years, 1. Females — above 16, 2; under 16, 1. (A. 55) There were several Jonathans who descended from the emigrant, Matthias, through both sons, John and Theophilus. Taking the line of Theophilus as the probable one, we have Jonathan 4, Theophilus 3, 2, Matthias 1, as given above. (Craven's " Mattituck," p. 75. Also Corwin Gen.)

While on this duty, he was captured at Sag Harbor, Nov. 3, 1 78 1. (Page 217. Also Clinton Pap., 7. 528, 529. Also Onderdonk's " Suffolk Co.," p. 106) In I78i,he wrote to Gov.

(G. 10) DAYTON — This family descends from Ralph I Dayton, Bedfordshire to Boston and New Haven, in 1639. He went thence to Southampton, and thence to East Hampton. He was a Representative, at Hartford, Conn. His son, Samuel 2, remained in Southampton; but afterward removed to Brookhaven, where he d. in 1690. (Howell's " Southampton," p. 229) His decendants are quite numerous in that Town, particularly in the villages of Patchogue and Port Jefferson. There are also some in the town of River head; and others in the village of Speonk, in the town of Southampton. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) Samuel 2 had a son Isaac 3, who removed to Setauket, and afterward to New Haven. From him are descended nearly all of the name in Conn. (Howell's " Southampton," p. 232. Also Hedges' " East Hampton," pp. 253-257) Moore (" Index," p. 14) states that Ralph I was in the Southold Rec, 1650. About 1655, he m. the Wid. of James Haines, of Southold. (Howell, as above) According to his will, his children were: Robert 2; Samuel 2; Alice 2 (m. Thomas Baker); and 2 (m. Brinley). (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) Robert 2 had a son Beriah 3. The East Hampton brunch decends from Robert 2. (Howell, as above) DAYTON CHARLES R. 8 (Josiah C. 7, Josiah 6, Capt. John 5, John 4, Beriah 3, Robert 2, Ralph 1) — of East Hampton. While he was not a descen dant of a Refugee in a direct line; yet his ancestry was connected closely with the ancestry of the Refugees. For this reason, and because of his service in preparing this work, it seems proper to record in this place the estimate of a personal friend. He was b. at East Hampton, Dec. 25, 1828; m. Dec. 16, 1858, Sarah F. Sherrill; d. at East Hampton, May 9, 1911. In 1852, 1853, and 1856-1857, he was Engrossing Clerk of the N. Y. State Senatt. His father had been a Member of the N. Y. State Assembly. In 1858 he was elected County Clerk of Suffolk Co., but he declined a renomination. From 1862 to 1865, he was Journal Clerk of the Assembly. In the latter year he became Journal Clerk of the Senate; and he was con tinued in that office by his political opponents through the exciting days of 1870 and 18 71. In speaking of those days, he told the writer that, before he accepted the place, he had made two conditions: — first that he should not change his political faith; second, that he should be absolute master of the desk, so that no crooked work therein might be charged to his account. In 1872, he became the Clerk of the Senate; from 1874 to 1877, he was the Assistant Clerk; and, later, he once more be came the Journal Clerk. His service in the Senate covered about 30 years; after which he entered the insurance business, in N. Y. City; and then retired to East Hampton to spend the remainder of his days. His wife was a dau. of Hiram L. Sherrill. (Hedges' " East Hamp ton," p. 335. See also Sherrill) He left an only son, Charles S. Dayton, of East Hampton. Those who knew Charles R. Dayton can bear witness to his kind disposition. In closing his tribute, the late Judge Henry P. Hedges wrote: " The Town of East Hampton may_ well exult in the honesty, the honorable career, the moral victory, the industrial public and private achievement of this one of her citizens."

(Howell's " Southampton," pp. 238, 239) Griffin (" Journal," p. 238) mentions William I as one of the first settlers at East Hampton, in 1648. Moore (" Index," p. 77) mentions John, of Southold, who had three males and four females in his family, in 1 686 ; and d. about 1 730. Whitaker (" South- old," p. 46) mentions Matthias among the early settlers at Southold. Mr. David M.

Dist., 1776: Males — above 50 years, 1; above 16, 2; under 16, 1. Females — above 16, 5; under 16, 2. (A. 54) This prob ably refers to his father, John 4. He was b. in 1749; m. Mercy Van Scoy (probably a Wid.); d. in 1829. He had: Russell 6; Isaac 6; John 6; Abraham 6; Patience 6; and Matsie 6. (Hedges, as above, pp. 260, 342) Mercy 4 (Josiah 3, John 2, William 1) was a cousin to John, above; whom she m., although she was older. (Howell, as above) She was a dau. of Josiah Edwards whose wife was a Churchhill, of Wethersfield, Conn. After the death of the parents, the children lived with their mother's family, at Wethersfield. (Hedges, as above, p. 258) Another John, b. in Amagansett, in 1739; d. in Sayville, in 1826. He was in the French and Indian War, in Northern N. Y., in 1758-9. Returning to L.

(H. 30) If so, he was in the Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 1; under 16, 2. Females — above 16, 1; under 16, 3. (A. 47) The Military service, noted above, may have belonged to this John. He was the ancestor of the late David M. Edwards, of Sayville, L. I. ELLIS JOSEPH — From East Hampton to Stonington. He was moved over by Capt. Hubbard Latham, with his family — probably in Sept., 1776. (C. 46) In the same month, his effects were brought to Stonington by Capt. David Sayre (C. 138); and, same month, he was charged with nine passengers by Capt. Isaac Sheffield. (C. 212) He served in the 5th Line (G. 49); and probably in Conn. (G. 89) In the Town Rec. of East Hampton, a deed, given by Conkling, in 1775, describes a tract of land, bounded " by a highway that parts the two towns and Joseph Ellis' land;" which shows that a man of that name lived in East Hampton at that time. In the Ch. Rec. of East Hampton, among the deaths, are these entries: " 1766, Capt. Ellis child;" " 1776, Capt. Ellis wife." (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) EVERETT , Mrs.— On Nov. 10, 1780, Henry Wisner wrote from Goshen, N. Y., to Gov. Clinton asking permission for Mrs. Everett to go to N. Y. City; and thence to L. I.

By tradition, this Family is traced back to Dominicus Fanning who was Mayor of a City in Ireland, under Charles 1. He was 336 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut taken Prisoner at the battle of Drogheda, in 1649; and was beheaded by Cromwell. His son, Edmund, b., in Kilkenny, Ireland; m. Catherine Hays, dau. of the Earl of Connaught; emigrated to America, and settled in Ston ington, Conn., about 1649. (Griffin's "Journal," p. 206. Also Tombstone at Riverhead, L. I.) The foregoing assertions are disproved, and many of the statements on the elaborate tombstone, at Riverhead, are questioned, by Mr. Walter F. Brooks, in the Fanning Gen. — wherein it is recorded that Edmund I was in Stonington, about 1653; and that he was also on Fisher's Island and in New London. The name 'of his wife was Ellen. He had five sons; one of whom, Thomas 2, m. Frances Ellis, of Stonington. The Fanning Family is closely related to the Benjamin Family. The members of both were large land owners in Stonington and Groton, Conn. Thomas 2 had a son, James 3, who served as a Capt. in the French and Indian War. He settled on L. I. before 1718, being the progenitor of all of the name there. He first settled in Smithtown, where he m. Hannah, dau. of Justice Richard Smith, granddau. of the Patentee of Smithtown.

James Fanning had nine children, among whom were: Col. Phineas 4, below; Gilbert 4; James 4; Thomas 4; and Col. Edmund 4. The latter graduated at Yale College, in 1757. He was a prominent lawyer in N. Caro lina during the rule of Gen. Tryon; and, later, he accompanied Tryon to N. Y. as his Private Sec'y. He was Col. of a Loyalist Regt. during the War; and afterward, he was Lt. Gov. of Nova Scotia. He d. in London, in 1818, aged 79 years. (Fanning Gen.) FANNING DAVID 5, LT. (Thomas 4, Capt. James 3, Thomas 2, Ed mund 1) — From Brookhaven. He served in Col. Floyd's Regt. (G. 1); and in Conn. (G. 89) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 18) He gradu ated at Yale College, in 1769. The property of his father, Thomas, was confiscated. Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 1; under 16, 2. Females — above 16, 2; under 16, 1. (A. 51) He was b. in 1752; m. in 1773, Jane 5 Smith.

James 3, Thomas 2, Edmund 1) — From Brookhaven to Stonington. On Apr. 24, 1780, he asked permission to return to L. I. on business relating to certain lands, in Stonington. (F. 43) He was b. at Stonington, where his father lived. Jan. 30, 1757; d. on the Walkabout Prison Ship " Jersey," in 1782. He was a nephew of Col. Phineas Fanning, below. (Fanning Gen. 1. 157) FANNING JAMES 5 (James 4, Capt. James 3, Thomas 2, Edmund 1— known as James, 3d.)— From Southold. On Mar. 4, 1783, he was described as a Whig, lately from N. Carolina, who wants to go to L. I. to bring off flax, &c. (F. 43) He probably served in Conn. (G. 89) James Fanning was a blacksmith; and, for many years, a store-keeper. He had a family of ten children; was a man of character, and a good Congregational Church man. Though more than a century has passed, a forge is still in use where he set it up, also the store where he did business. The memory of few men is so well kept. It is said that when the British troopers came, with horses, to his forge for shoeing, he would not beat iron for an enemy, not for money, and would not be compelled. And it is easy to believe that he had need of refuge, though tradition says it was short owing to the intercession of his uncle, Col. Phineas, in his favor. (Mr. James F. Young) In the Southold Census of 1776 two of the name appear. One was over 50 years old, and had no family. The other was under 50 years old, and had a son and a dau. both under 16, and one female (probably his wife) over 16. (A. 55) He was b. in Aquebogue, Dec. 1, 1742; m. Apr. 13, 1775, Mary, dau. of Pumer Reeve. (Mattituck Ch. Rec. See also Reeve) She was b. in Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Fanning — Fanning 337 1755; d. Nov. 20, 1822.

He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 20) He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 21); and in Conn. (G. 89) In 1781, his goods, which had been brought to Conn, from L. I., were seized for irregularities. (Page 210. Also Clinton Pap., 8. 31) On May 3, 1781, Ezra L'Hommedieu wrote to Gov. Clinton, from Middletown, that some of the clothing intended for the Troops had been taken from Nathaniel Fanning who was friendly to America. He asked a permit from Gov. Clinton (so that one would follow from Gov. Trumbull) allowing him to remove his goods to Conn. (Page 96. Also Clinton Pap., 6. 831) He was b. Mar. 22, 1755; m. Dec. 22, 1780, Anna, dau. of David Wells; d. Oct. 10, 1826. His wife d. Mar. 20, 1810. They had 10 children. He lived at Aquebogue and FranklinviUe. (Fanning Gen.) A Nathaniel, was with Paul Jones in the Privateer Service. (Caulkins' " New London," p. 307) FANNING PHINEAS 4, COL. (Capt. James 3, Thomas 2, Edmund 1) — From Aquebogue, in Southold. On July 8, 1775, he wrote from Southold to the Prov'l Cong, asking for more powder; but it was refused on the ground that there was none to send. (Mil. Com., 25. 129) On July 8, 1775, he was appointed Muster Master of the Troops to be raised in Suffolk Co.; and, on Aug. 7, 1775, he was directed to take command of the Militia, sent by Gen. Wooster to prevent the seizure of cattle on the East end of L. I. for the British Army in Boston. (Jour. Prov'l Cong.) Aug. 7th, 177s — Col. Phineas Fanning was sent to the East end of L. I., to take command of the Troops raised there, to prevent cattle being taken off by the enemy. On the next day, he informs Congress that on his way, he met an express, saying that the Ministerial Fleet, of thirteen sail of square rigged vessels, had come to anchor off Gardiner's Island. That an enemy's boat had attacked Rufus Tuthill, while landing fifty sheep from Plumb Island, drove him away, took his boat and 20 of his sheep, which they carried off. (Thompson's " Long Island," 1. 197) On Oct. 16, 1776, Col. Henry B. Livingston wrote, from Saybrook, that Col. Fanning, and others, had been thought disaffected; but professed them selves to be friendly. (A. 18) It seems that he had been apprehended for driving cattle to Howe's Army. (Onderdonk's " Suffolk Co.," p. 56) As a sequel to this, on Oct. 17, 1776, Col. Fanning, at Guilford, signed a parole not to assist the subjects of Great Britain as against the United States; to return to Suffolk Co.; and to remain there until required to appear before the Convention or Gen. Washington. (Pages 118, 119) After the Battle of L. I. he reported to Gen. Oliver Delancey. (Page 176) On Aug. 11, 1778, Gov. Trumbull wrote to Capts. Peter Hallock and Jona than Salmon that they must make good the loss of six oxen which they had taken from Col. Fanning. (D. 15) On Sept. 5, 1781, the Conn. Council of Safety gave permission to Col. Fanning to return to L. I. with his daughter. (F. 43) . A Phineas Fanning signed the Association, from Brookhaven, in 1775 (H. 20) ; but it does not appear whether he was Col. Phineas, or Serjt. Phineas, below. Phineas Fanning came to Aquebogue with his parents; but, later, lived at Laurel, and passed his days there. He served in the French and Indian Wars, in 1746-47. In his young manhood he was a shipmaster in the European trade. His name appears on the County Co. roster of Capt. James Fanning, his father, for an Expedition against Canada, in 1746, which failed to start. Also, as a Lt. in Capt. James Fanning's Co., ist Battalion of Foot, in Oct., 1747. A Justice of the Peace, in Suffolk Co., in 1763. He held a Colonel's Commission from George III., in 1775. _ Yet he was popularly rated as a Federalist; and was, with his brother-in-law, Maj.

They both openly opposed such an election; and, being in the minority, both withdrew. He was, later, allied with the Royalists; was arrested, and was sent to N. Y. a prisoner; but was soon released. He took no active part in the contest afterward. His estate, large and valuable, reaching from Sound to Bay, was not attainted; and he remained popular with his neighbors. Tory that he undoubtedly was, his very friendliness disarmed criticism. His farm, nearly one-half a mile wide, is still partially in the possession of his descendants. (Mr. James F. Young.

(C. 4) From the fact that his name does not appear in the Gardiner Gen., the Ch. Rec. or the Town Rec. of Easthampton, it is probable that he belonged to the Southold branch. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) He is unknown to me. (Mr. Jonathan T. Gardiner) GARDINER MARTHA, MRS.— From Plum Island. On Feb. 15, 1785, she was allowed to return to the Island with cattle.

On Oct. 25, 1782, he petitioned to return to East Hampton. (F. 130) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 11) He was a Surg. in the ist New Hampshire Infantry during a part of the War. (Mr. Jonathan T. Gardiner) He was Surg. Mate in the Hospital Service (Page 180. Also " N. Y. in the Rev'n — Spt.," p. 44); he also served in Conn. (G. 90) He was a Member of the N. Y. Ass'y, 1786, 1788-90. (Civil List) After the War, he returned to East Hampton (Hon. Henry P. Hedges); and occupied the house which had been built by his father, Col. Abraham. See pages 351 and 352. An interesting story is related by Hon. Henry P. Hedges in his Bi-Cen- tennial Address, at East Hampton: The unfortunate Major Andre was, for several weeks, quartered at the house of Col. Abra ham Gardiner; and his gentlemanly deportment, and generous feelings won the esteem of the family. Dr. Nathaniel Gardiner, son of Col. Gardiner, was on a visit to his father at this period.^ Having come within the British lines, he was liable to be seized as a spy, and though the family took every precaution to conceal his presence, it was soon perceived that Andre was not without knowledge of it. He forbore, however, any allusion to it, and subsequently ex pressed his regret that their relative situation had prevented him from soliciting an interview. Andre afterwards repaired to New York, and his unfortunate fate is well known. During the night preceding his untimely death, the young Surgeon, whom he had thus encountered, enjoyed by a strange coincidence, and in the capacity of an enemy, the melancholy pleasure of his society. He left with the family several memorials of friendship. Dr. Gardiner was b. Jan. 11, 1759; d. Mar. 25, 1804. He m. Jan. 27, 1784, Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas Dering, of Shelter Island. (See Dering. Also Mallmann's " Shelter Island, ' p. 177) She was b. Apr. 21, 1762; d. Mar. 18, 1801. Their children were: Maria Sylvester, 7, b. in 1784, d. Nov. 9, 1804; Robert Smith 7, b. Sept. 10, 1786, d. Jan. 19, 1824; Elizabeth Packer 7, b. June 4, 1788, m. Reuben Bromley. GARDINER THOMAS, COL.— From Plum Island. In May, 1780, a permit to remove his produce from the Island was asked by his son-in-law, David Palmer. (F. 116) His wife was Martha Gardiner, above. On Aug. 22, 1775, it was stated to the Suffolk Co. Committee, that an officer of the " Ministerial Fleet," had informed Col. Gardiner that they would come again with a force sufficient to take the stock from L. I. (Thomp son's " Long Island," 1. 197) The Jour, of the Prov'l Cong, states that, in Oct. or Nov., 1776, he was on a whale-boat expedition to Brookhaven. It is possible that, later, he served in the ist Line and in the Art'y of the Line. (G. 43, 5i) GATES WILLIAM — From Huntington. He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 29) He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 32) One of the name served in Mass. (Gates Gen.) He m., Feb. 24, 1781, Margaret McRaa. (Fairfield, Conn., Ch. Rec.) GELSTON — The following notes, (unless otherwise stated) are taken from the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, July, 1871. There are, also, some statements from the Patterson MSS. — East Haddam Families. The brothers, Rev. Samuel Gelston and Hugh Gelston, came from Belfast, Ireland. Rev._ Samuel, fifth Minister in Southampton, b. in 1692; came to New England in 1715; and, going to Maryland, was engaged to preach, being licensed by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, Sept. 21, 1715. He labored a short time in Kent County; and, Sept. 17, 17 16, accepted a call to South ampton, where his brother, Hugh Gelston, Esq., had preceded him. He was the colleague of Mr. Whiting, and was ordained Apr. 17, 1717. Remain ing here about ten years, he was dismissed, and returned to the South. He d. Oct. 22, 1782, aged 90 years. (Thompson's " Long Island," 1. 339, 340) He returned to Ireland, and probably was never married. (Miss Lucy Gelston) The name is often spelled and pronounced Gillson. In fact, when the Refugees went to East Haddam, Conn., the natives persisted in calling the name Gilson. The name takes the form of Jillson in the State of N. Y., near Lake Champlain. Efforts have been made to show that those who use these variants descended from Rev. Samuel; but, as he had no family, that descent is impossible. It is more likely that the descent is from Dr. Samuel 2, son of Judge Hugh 1, and brother of Dea. Maltby 2, the Refugee, Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Gelston — Gelston 355 below. From Dr. Samuel 2 probably descend certain others of the name, Gelston. Prominent among them was Capt. Cotton Gelston, of Hudson, N. Y., a shipmaster who suffered much at the hands of the French; and whose descendants finally secured redress through the French Spoliation Claims. The N. Y. Ass'y, Jour., Feb. 23, 1788, records a petition from him relative to the omission (at the custom house) of an entry of coals imported in the ship " Hudson;" and the Senate Jour., Feb. 28, 1798, states that he, with others, had protested against obstructing the Hudson River with fishing nets. Judge Hugh 1, b. in 1697, came to Southampton in 1717, where he became a merchant. In 1752, he was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Suffolk Co., L. I. This postiton he held for 21 years, under the Colonial Govern ment, being re-appointed in 1764 and 1771. Baylis (" Suffolk Co.") and Thompson (" Long Island," I. 339) make the appointment end in 1764. He d. Dec. 8, 1775, aged 78 years. (Thompson, as above) Hem. (1) in 1717, Mary (b. in 1664), dau. of John Maltby, Jr., and Susannah Clark, of Southampton. John, Jr., was a son of John Maltby, of New Haven, who was lost at sea, in 1676. The Wid. of John then m.

(See Pelle treau) He had 1 1 children by his first marriage; and three, by his second — of whom: Susannah 2, m. Col. Josiah Smith (See Smith); Dea. Maltby 2, below; Sarah 2, m., as second wife, Elias Pelletreau. (See Pelletreau) GELSTON DAVID 3 (Maltby 2, Hugh 1) — From Bridge Hampton to East Haddam. Capt. Joshua Griffieth brought his goods thither, Sept. 13; and his cattle, Sept. 20, 1776. (C. 57) Other of his goods were brought to Saybrook, Sept. to Nov., 1776, by Capts. James Harris, Samuel Shaler, William Warner, Robert Knight, David Sayre, Joshua Griffieth, Pettit and Elijah Mason. He paid for the removal of the goods of Maltby Gelston, David Sayre, John Gelston and Mehitable Mitchell. He also collected the claims of Daniel Haines, Elias Halsey, Silvanus Pierson, John Miller, Sylvanus Jennings, James King, Capt. Nathaniel Barns and Capt. Eliphalet Budington. (C. 196-204) In Dec, 1777, he receipted for the account of Silvanus Pierson. (C. 199) In the N. Y. Convention, Aug. 28, 1776, the Governor of Conn, was requested to send 1,000 Troops for the protection of the inhabitants, and the security of the stock on Nassau Island. Letters were written asking assistance in removing the stock, &c. ; and David Gelston was ordered to proceed to Conn, with the letters. (A. 12) As Chairman of the Committee of Safety of Suffolk Co., it became the duty of Maltby 2 to send a delegate, which he did in the person of his son, David 3, to Governor Trumbull of Conn., asking for a part of the Conn. Militia to defend L. I.; stating in his letter to the Governor that unless said Troops were furnished, the loyal people would be obliged to become Refugees. (Miss Marie A. Gelston) In Sept. 1776, he wrote to the Prov'l Cong, as to the distress on L. I. (Page 177) In 1770, he was one of the petitioners for a Wharf at Sag Harbor. (Page 166) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 33) He was a Member of the 2d, 3d, and 4th Prov'l Congresses, 1 775-1 777, the latter being empowered 356 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut to establish a new form of government. (A. 57-59. Also Civil List) On Oct. 14, 1776, he reported to the Committee of Safety that 1,000 pounds of powder had been removed from Suffolk Co. to Saybrook. (Jour. Prov'l Cong.) On the same date, he was appointed one of a Committee to have saltpetre made in Suffolk Co. and sent to Conn. (Misc. Pap., 35. 343 and 38. 248) ; and, on Dec. 28, 1776, the Committee of Safety voted money to pay the expenses of making the same. (Page no. Also A. 26) On Jan. 17, 1777, he was appointed by the Committee of Safety one of a Committee to procure accounts of the disposition of vessels, effects, etc., brought from L. I. to Conn.; and to inquire why certain arms and ammunition had not been delivered at Fishkill. (A. 30) On Jan. 27, same year, he was similarly appointed to report a method of reimbursing the State for its expenses in transporting the effects of the Refugees from L. I., and of accounting for the same in the State of Conn. (Page 33. Also A. 33) On Oct. 4, he receipted for the claims of 185 Refugees — a total of £1,797.14.8 Lawful, or £2,396.19.5 York. (C. 4) On Jan. 7, 1778, he paid the claim of the Wid. and children of Thomas Filer. (C. 5, No. 104) On Nov. 3, 1778, he and Ezra L'Hommedieu received from Gerard Bancker, Treas'r, £693.3.2 to pay additional claims. (C. 6) In May, 1778, he and Col. John Hurlbut asked of the Gen. Ass'y of Conn, permission to bring certain goods from Boston; which was allowed in the Upper House, but negatived in the Lower House. (Page 209. Also E. 3) In 1780, he was one of the Comm'rs to raise specie for redeeming a part of the bills emitted. (Page 136. Also Rev'y MSS, N. Y. State Lib'y, 42. 113) He was Member of the Consti tutional Convention of 1777; Member of the N. Y. Ass'y from Suffolk Co., 1777-1785 (B. 43-48.

(Maltby 2, Hugh 1)— From Southampton to East Haddam (probably). In Nov., 1779, he petitioned to winter his horses on L. I. (F. 112) On Dec. 3, 1779, he was allowed to go to L. I. for 300 bushels of salt. (Page 115. Also F. 114) This comment was made by Hon. Henry P. Hedges: I think Gelston was going to get this salt from the old salt works on Hog Neck, located on or near the old Mitchell farm, lately owned by Samuel L. Gardiner, deceased, and probably operated in-the Revolutionary time or before. The salt was produced by evaporation of salt water. He served as private and Serjt. in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 12, 29, 30) He may have been the Gelston who was Qr. Mr. in the 4th Line. (G. 48) . He was b. Nov. 19, 1754; m.

(H. 33) His efforts to secure protection from Gov.

On Nov. 1, 1782, she was permitted to return to L. I. with her children, goods &c. (F. 82) There is nothing to show who she was. Possibly she was the wife or the Wid. of Grover, above. GOLDSMITH— Moore (" Index," pp. 18, 80-82, 140) mentions a Ralph, in Mass., in 1661 ; and in Southold, 1664-5. Also a Thomas, in Southampton, in 1653; d. in 1703. As Moore is not reliable in these statements, and others relating to the descendants of the above-named, we turn to other sources of information. Howell (" Southampton," p. 427) states that Thomas had land granted in Southampton, in 1651 ; and that he was a farmer. He removed to Killing- worth, Conn., in 1678. He is called a great-uncle of John, of Southold. Thomas is first mentioned as an inhabitant of the Town of Southampton, in Apr., 1 651, when a £100 allotment was granted to him.

He was chosen freeman, Oct. 6, 1652. He removed to Killingworth, Conn., in 1678, where he d. in 1684, without issue. His nephew, John 1, remained in Southampton, but soon went to Southold, and was the ancestor of a numerous family. His son, John 2, was in Southold, 1680-1725. (Mr. William S.

Still later information was given in an article on " Jasper Griffin " &c, by Edmund J. Cleveland, in the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 22. 191, Oct., 1891; from which the follow ing is condensed — Maj.

From ¦" Stephen Griffing, his Ancestry and Descendants " — 191 1 — we learn that Maj. Jasper 1 and his wife, Hannah, are buried at Southold (See Page 397); and that they had 14 children. John 2 had at least three children: John 3, the Refugee, below; Deborah 3; and Phebe 3. Robert 2, m. in 1709, had seven children. He succeeded to the property of his brother, Edward 2.

(Samuel 3, below, Robert 2, Jasper 1; brother of James, below, Capt. Moses, below and Capt. Peter, below; father of David, below) — From Southold to Guilford. In Sept., 1776, he was moved over, with six in his family, by Capt. Jasper Griffing. (C. 59) Same month, a horse and cow were brought over by Capt. Peter Griffing. (C. 58) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 10, 12) He was a Lt. in the French War, in 1760; and Capt. of a Co. two years later. . He marched to Ticon deroga, in 1775. (Jour. Prov'l Cong.) In May, 1775, he became Capt. of the ist Suffolk County Company, afterward in the 3d Line. (G. 45,46) His commission was dated June 29, 1775. (G. 1) On Feb. 26, 1776, he was nomi nated for Maj., but evidently was not appointed; as, in Dec. of the same year, he asked to have his rank raised. (Jour, and Proceedings Prov'l Cong.) He was at Ft. Montgomery, Jan. 4, 1777 (A. 29); but left in the same month. (Jour. Prov'l Cong.) He served in the 4th Line; but resigned. (G. 48) He may have served in Conn. (G. 90) Evidently he tired of the Army; for in the Proceedings of Feb. 26, 1778, he is described as Capt. of the " Revenge." (Pages 218, 239. Also, " N. Y. in the Rev'n.," p. 269; and " Supplement " to same, p. 98) About 1780, in company with Capt. Augustus Peck, he fitted out the Privateer sloop " Randolph," and made New London, Conn., the home port. (Page 218) Their operations were confined to the waters back of Long Island, up toward New York. They captured numerous prizes and carried them into New London. In company with another small craft, they attacked and captured a British Sloop of War — quite an achievement for crafts of that size. They came into New London with prizes two days before Arnold captured it; and, of course, suffered the fate of all the shipping in that port. (Mr. Robert A. Griffing) He was b. May 12, 1736; m. in 1758, Martha Case (b. June 13, 1737); d. June 22, 1822, aged 87. After living at Guilford he removed to Clinton, Conn., and d. there. His children were: David 5, below, Daniel 5, Micajah 5, Robert 5 and Parnel 5. So far as I am able to trace, the only descendants who bear the family name are those of his son Robert 5, whose son Daniel 6, a sea captain, has as descendants: William J. Griffing, Frances P. Griffing, Robert A. Griffing and his daughter Jessie. Robert's son, Richard 6, was a Home Missionary to what is now Wisconsin. Hefounded what is now the First Baptist Church of Milwaukee. His descendants are: Emma G. Smith and dau. Winifred, of Pewaukee, Wis.; and Sherman B. Griffing, of Bryant, S. Dak., whose children are, Pearl, Lester, Elmer, Vena, Julia, Edith, Gladys, and Robert A. The descendants of Robert's dau., Emma 6, are, David and Hattie Austin, of Brooklyn, N. Y. (R. A. G.) GRIFFING DAVID 5 (Son of Capt. Daniel, above)— From Southold to Guilford, with his father, Capt. Daniel, above. When only a lad, he was in the Army with his father. He was afterward captured by the British and confined in one of the hulks, (Prison ships) in N. Y. harbor. (R. A. G.) His enlistment must have been irregular, as his name does not appear in the official records. GRIFFING EDWARD 3 (Edward 2, Jasper 1)— Before the War began he removed from L. I. to White Plains, N. Y.; and thence to Dutchess Co., N. Y. Many of his descendants live along the Hudson River, and in Nova Scotia and Canada. He served in Conn. (G. 90) He was b. in 1708; m. Taylor; d. in 1785. GRIFFING JAMES 4 (Samuel 3, below, Robert 2, Jasper 1; brother of Capt. Daniel, above, Moses, below, and Capt. Peter, below; father of Augustus, above)— From Oyster Ponds to Middletown.

(G. 90) A James Gnffis served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 32) He resigned, and returned to Southold to care for the houses of his father and Ezra L'Homme dieu. He suffered much at the hands of the British and the Tories, often Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Griffing — Griffing 369 remaining in hiding for days at a time. (R. A. G.) He returned to L.

He went over in 1776, and he bought the " old Stone House " which the State of Conn, bought about the year 1900. His descendants spelled their name " Griffin." No descendants of his name remain. The house was in the possession of his descendants until purchased by the State. It was inherited by Mrs. Sarah B. Cone, g. granddau. of Jasper, Sr. of Stockbridge, Mass., lately deceased, who is the only one I am able to trace. (R. A. G.)

GRIFFING JOHN, SR. 3 (John 2, Jasper 1; father of John, Jr., below, Joseph, below, Nathaniel, below, and Stephen, below. He is known as John, Jr., in the S. G. A.) — From Riverhead to Guilford. He was called "John, of Riverhead." He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 20) In Sept., 1776, with his family, 15 passengers, and goods he was brought up the Conn. River by Capt. Wilmot Goldsmith. (C. 60) He probably resided at Middletown. (S. G. A., p. 12) He was a prominent Whig. At the request of his neighbors he became a " tea-spy," as they called a man whose business it was to detect and prevent the use of tea and other imported articles upon which the English Government had levied duties to the inhabitants. As he died without will his property descended to his son and namesake, John, Jr. The mother of the late Charles and Gamaliel Vail was [Thankful] one of his daughters, and I well remember hearing them comment on the injustice of the English law of promogeniture.

(G. 57, 59, 61) He may, also, have served in the 2d, 6th or 7th Dutchess (G. 64, 68, 69) ; and in Conn. (G. 90) He was on the " Confederacy " in the Privateer service. (Page 218) He was b.

David Whittlesey, it being stated that he was a son of John, Sr. (C. 60) His name appears in a list of Prisoners in the Provost, N. Y. City, Feb. 6, 1778. It is stated that he was taken July 2, 1777, a dangerous person; and having a permit from John Shipman, of Conn.^ (Onderdonk's ' Scrap Book,"— 1866, p. 19) Probably he did not serve in Conn. He was b. Jan. 13, 1750. (S. G. A., p. 12) He m. July 10, 1783, Mary Albertson. (Mattituck Ch. Rec.) Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Griffing — Griffing 371 GRIFFING PETER 4, CAPT. (Samuel 3, below, Robert 2, Jasper 1; brother of Capt. Daniel, above, James, above, and Capt. Moses above) — ¦ From Oyster Ponds to Guilford. He was at Oyster Ponds in 1775 (Griffin's "Journal"); and he signed the Association, in that year. (H. 10) He was Capt. of a ship. (Page 239) In Sept., 1776, he brought the freight of Capt. Daniel Griffing from L. I. to Guilford. (C. 58) In Oct. , 1 776, he transported as follows: — part of Stephen Bayley's goods to Guilford (C. 12) ; part of Selah Reeve's goods from L. I. (C. 130); part of Col. Thomas Terry's goods L.I. to Saybrook. (C. 147) On Sept. 22, 1777, the Conn. Council of Safety commissioned him as Capt. of a Co. of Rangers to guard the sea coast, Sound and Islands of that State. On Aug. 4, 1778, he was summoned before Gov. Trumbull and Council to explain his conduct as Capt.; and, on Aug. 25, same year, action was taken in regard to one of the Prisoners taken by Capt. Griffing on L. I. (Pages 202, 222. Also D. 8, 12, 18) He was Capt. of an armed boat. (Page 218. Also Rec. of the State of Conn., 2. 107, 115) He was master of a fine sailing craft which was captured by the British sloop-of-war " Swan." (Griffin's " Jour nal ") It is possible that he was the Peter Griffing who served in Col. Terry's Regt. (G. 8); also in the 2d and 6th Dutchess (G. 64, 68); also, as a Serjt., in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 38) Evidently he returned to L. I., as I find that two of his sons afterward moved to Guilford, Conn. I do not think that any of his descendants bear ing his name live there now. One from the female side married Edward M. Leete of that place. (R. A. G.) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 1; under 16, 3. Females — above 16 years, 1; under 16, 2. (A. 55) He ^ was b.

With three in his family he was brought over by Capt. Jasper Griffing, in Sept., 1776. (C. 59) He signed the Association, in 1775 (H. 10, 12); and he may have served in Conn., al though this service was more likely that of his son, Samuel. (G. 90) He went to Middletown, Conn., and afterward bought a farm in Branford, and d. there. (R. A. G.) Griffin (" Journal ") describes a visit that he made to his grandfather, Samuel, at Branford, in 1 787.

On Feb. 5, 1781, he petitioned to return to L. I. to recover some debts. (F. 125) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 29) On June 28, 1775, he was appointed Capt. of the 5th Suffolk County Company, after ward in the 3d Line. (G. 45, 46) The first commission was issued by the Prov'l Cong., on June 29. (G. 1) On Dec. 6, 1775, he was recommended as Capt. of a Co. of Matrosses; and, on Jan. 22, 1776, he was appointed Capt. of a Co. of Artillery. The latter office he declined, Mar. 27, 1776; and, owing to complications, he resigned three days later. (Proceedings Prov'l Cong.) On Nov. 3, 1781, in an enterprise with Capt. Thomas Wickham and Maj. John Davis, at Sag Harbor, he was taken Prisoner. (Page 217. Also Clinton Pap., 7. 528, 529) In 1781, he expected that Capt. Caleb Brewster would convey him across L. I. Sound. (Page 192) He was kept in the Provost, in N. Y. City, until Mar. 26, 1782. (Onderdonk's "Suffolk Co.," p. 106) In the same year, Nov. 22, Gov. Clinton sent word that he wished Capt. Grinnell to spy out the British forces on L. I. (Onderdonk's " Queens Co., 2d Series," p. 17; also " Scrap Book — 1866," p. 23) The legality of his commission on L. I. was questioned. (Clinton Pap., 7. 584, 585) On Mar. 7, 1781, the Commissioners to procure Monies on Loan, and Clothing for the Line, employed him to negotiate the said business on L. I. (Rev'y MSS., N. Y. State Lib'y., 52. 67A. Also Chap. 8) It seems that he had procured a quantity of Money and Clothing; and had contracted for more to be delivered to him at Southold, whither he repaired. Then came his capture. The Assembly took the ground that his captivity arose from an enterprise outside of the work on which he had been employed; and refused his pay for the time he was in captivity. (Ass'y Jour., Apr. 23, 1784; Mar. 5, 1785) On Apr. 2, 1785, he prayed for a settlement of his accounts. (Sen. Jour.) George Howell seemed to have a grudge against him. (Clinton Pap 7. 336, 337, 384, 584, 585) He m. Catherine . His son, William Henry, bapt., Aug. 14, 1774, at Oyster Bay. His son, John Lloyd, bapt. Jan. 25, 1775. (St. Johns' P. E. Ch.

John Grinnell, on Nov. 3, 1781, as stated above, he was appointed to continue their work of procuring Money on Loan, and Clothing for the Line. Thomas McFarren was associated with him. (Page 96. Also Clinton Pap., 7. 528, 529) He was Capt. of the Frigate " Congress." (Page 96. Also "N. Y. in the Rev'n — Spt.," p. 269) He was probably related to Capt. John, above. HAINES— HAINS— HAYNES— HINDS— The name is spelled in these several ways. The Refugees, Daniel 5 and David 5, signed the name, Hains; and one signed both Hains and Haines. James I came from England to Salem, Mass., about 1637; m. Mary ; removed to Southold, L. I., and d. there, Mar., 1652-3. He had Benjamin 2, b. about 1643; m. Joana ; d. in 1687. Benjamin 2 had James 3,b. in 1673; m. (1) Sarah , (2) Temperance ; d. about 1732. He lived in Bridge Hampton, L. I. He had Dea. James 4, b. in 1702; m. Martha ; d., about 1782. His son, James 5, was probably the ancestor of the New Jersey branch, including the late Gov. Haines. (Howell's " Southampton," pp. 284-5. Also Moore's "Index," p. 19) Benjamin 2 also had Samuel 3; whose dau., Ruth 4, m. Lt. Abraham Rose. (See Rose) 11 James and John were among the early settlers at Southold.

The claim for expenses was paid to David Gelston. (C. 197) Still other effects were brought over by Capt. Daniel Fordham. (C. 48) In Feb., 1777, from East Haddam, he petitioned to go to L. I. (D. 44) ; which was granted, Apr. 5, 1782. (F. 54) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 33) It is possible that he served as Lt. in the 3d Westchester.

(G. 43) Howell (" Southampton," pp. 76, 77) relates the following — David Hand of this township, residing in Sag Harbor, was a sailor both in privateers and vessels of the navy during the Revolution. He experienced, with many others, the horrors of the Jersey prison ship. On one occasion a small frigate of the navy was captured after a short action by a British vessel of superior armament, off the harbor of Charleston. Being a carpenter he was detailed to make repairs on the prize with promise of pay by the English commander. After the repairs were completed, he was taken in a boat to the British frigate. When about half way between the two vessels, at a signal from the coxswain, the oars were hove up, and after a fruitless struggle on his part, his clothes were taken by the sailors and divided among them. On their arrival at the British vessel, he marched up to the commander and demanded restitution of his clothing, but gained no further satisfaction than a surly, " Go and find them — I have got nothing to do about that." He then asked for his promised pay for repairs of the American frigate, and he was equally unsuccessful. Completely dis gusted with the " perfidious Albion," he said to the captain: " All I ask now is, to begin at your taffrail rail, and fight the whole ship's crew forward, and die like a man." The captain, of course, paid no attention to this, and he was ordered forward among the other prisoners. Having survived all the dangers of the war, he lived long, a man of note and respectability honored by his fellow citizens for his bravery and manly virtues. He signed the Association, in 1775 (H. 11); also ^he Agreement with Rev. Aaron Woolworth, in 1787. (H. 34) The Census of 1776 has a David, with this record: — Three males over 16, and three males under 16; four females over 16. (A. 54) This could not have been Capt. David's family; but it might have been that of his father, David 6, who d. in 1767. Capt. David was b. — 1759", d. Feb. 29, 1840.

(G. 7, 29) His father, John 5, had numerous children; and the Census of 1776 probably records his family thus: — Above 16 years old, males 3, females 2; under 16, males 4, females 3. (A. 52) John, Jr., 6, b. Sept. 31, 1754; m. Mar. 6, 1778, Mary Jones; d. May 29, 1809. He was the grandfather of Hon. Alfred Hand, of Scranton, Pa. (Hand Gen.

I find no record of his birth. He does not appear to have been a son of John 5, but I think was a nephew. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) Hon. Alfred Hand gives more information of John, Jr., 6; and names his descendants down to date — ¦ After the War, John, Jr., 6, removed to Athens, Greene Co., N. Y. He carried on a trade between that place and Cuba. During one of these trips he d., May 30, 1809, in Cuba. As he was a Protestant, the burial was not 25 386 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut allowed on the Island; but on account of his popularity, burial was given on the shore between low and high water-mark.

Also Howell's " Southampton," p. 281) HARLEY— HARLOW— It is probable that the latter is the correct way to spell this name. Rev. Jacob E. Mallmann states that the original form was Harley; that Capt. Robert, below, after clearing from some foreign port, discovered that his name had been spelled Harlow — hence Harlow was adopted. HARLEY ROBERT, CAPT.— From Southold to Saybrook; where he was, in 1777. (A. 43) Griffin (" Journal," p. 224) states that Robert Harlow was from Oyster Ponds; commanded a ship from Philadelphia; and had been dead for some years, in 1857. He served in the 3d Line. (G. 46) The Census of 1776 showed that, in his family, there were: one male and three females over 16 years old; and one male and three females under that age. (A. 55) _ He m. Phebe Brown. (Mallmann's " Shelter Island," p. 248; wherein are given the children of his son, Robert, b. in 1772) HARLEY THOMAS— From Shelter Island. With others, he petitioned Gov.

(Howell's " Southampton," p. 282) Henry 3 was probably the one recorded in the Census of 1776 as being over 50 years old; with no family beside his wife. (A. 53) He m. Lydia, dau. of Benjamin Haines.

McCartney) See also Harris, in " Capts. and Masters of Ships." HART — Moore ("Index," p. 20) mentions a Jonathan 1, or John 1, who m. Hannah Budd. He had a grandson, John 3. John 1 was in the Southold Records, 1663-1667. One by the name of Hart was at Newtown, L. I., in 1666. Dea. Stephen 1 came from England to Cambridge, Mass., about 1632; and was in Hartford, with Rev. Thomas Hooker, in 1635. Later, he settled at Farmington. (" Chapter Sketches, Conn. D. A. R." — 1901, p. 195) Cornelius 1 was of Huntington, L. I. It is said that he was a son of Dennis and Mary (Smith) Hartt. He m. Elizabeth Wicks. His will was proved May 9, 1774. (N. Y.

(See Moore) A Mary Hart was a pensioner in the Military Rec. of Conn. (G. 91) HART WILLIAM— From Huntington to Saybrook (probably). He was engaged in the Illicit Trade. (Page 212. Also F. 128) One of the name served in the Art'y of the Line (G. 51); in Pawling's Levies, (G. 61); and, perhaps, as Maj. or Serjt. in Conn. (G. 91) HARTT JOSHUA 2, REV. (Cornelius 1)— From Smithtown. He suffered many indignities from the enemy, and was a Prisoner in N. Y. City. On one occasion being chained to a negro Prisoner, a British officer inquired, " How do you like your company?" To which, he retorted, Better than yours!" At another time, when preaching at Smithtown Branch, a bullet was fired at him, lodging in the wall just above his head, where the mark remained for many years. (Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, in N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, Apr., 1911) On May 28, 1777, Col. Josiah Smith and Rev. Mr. Hartt, were brought to the Provost, in N. Y. City where Hartt fell sick, and lay at death's door. Col. Ethan Allen kneeled down and made so fervent a prayer by his side, and otherwise cheered him up, that he recovered and was admitted on parole. (Prime's " Rev'y In cidents of L. I.," p. 632) , He was b. at Huntington, Sept. 17, 1738; graduated at Princeton College, in 1770; ordained by the Suffolk Presbytery, in 1772; and installed as Pastor at Hempstead, in 1772; and at Smithtown, in 1773. (H. 39) To preaching the Lrospel he added farming, teaching school and land surveying; his diary containing many entries covering these activities. After 1783, with others he surveyed the State lands in Oneida Co., N. Y.; and, in 1790, he visited ttte Indians of that vicinity, as a Missionary. He preached many sermons justifying the War of 1812. He d. at Fresh Pond, L. I., Oct. 3 1820 (Baldwin, as above. Also Woods' " First Settlements on L. I.," p 33) Census of Smithtown, in 1776: Males— above 16 years, 1.

(Mrs. Gilbert Scudder) HAVENS— Moore's " Index " (pp. 140, 141), and Howell's " South hampton " (p. 428) are fragmentary, relative to this Family. The Havens' Gen. is incomplete. The authority on the earlier generations is Austin's " Rhode Island Dictionary." The chief authority on all the generations is Mallmann's " Shelter Island," which is followed closely in this sketch, unless otherwise noted. The members of this Family descend from William I, who was b. in Eng land; was an inhabitant of the Island of Aquidneck, in 1638; d. in 1683. His son, George 2, b. in 1653; m. Eleanor Thurston, in 1674; was a freeman, in Kingston, R. I., in 1687; d. Feb. 21, 1706-7. In 1695 he bought 1,000 acres on Shelter Island of the proprietor, Nathaniel Sylvester. His son, George 3, lived on Fisher's Island. George 2, had, also, sons: John 3, and Jonathan 3. John 3, m. Sarah, dau. of John and Sarah (Horton) Conkline, and had seven children, among whom: William 4, Lt., the Refugee; and John 4. The latter, b. in 1711, d. in 1797, m. Patience, dau. of Daniel Tuthill (See Tuthill), and had eight children. Among the eight were: Mehitable 5, m. John Moore (See Moore); Bethiah 5, m. Daniel Rackett (See Rackett); and Jeremiah 5, m. Bethiah Conkling and was the grandfather of the late Joseph Conkling Havens, of Moriches. Jonathan 3, b. in 1681, m. Hannah Brown, d. in 1748. His will was dated, Sept. 22, 1746, proved Aug. 13, 1748. (N. Y.Wills. Lib. 16. p. 324) He had ten children. Among them were: Sarah 4, m. Alexander 4 King (See King); George 4, d. in 1733-4, wn0 had a son, George 5, d. in 1770; Jona than 4, b. in 1709, m.

Pelletreau) He was Capt. of the ship " Beaver." (Hon. Henry P. Hedges) As Capt. of a ship (Page 239), in Sept., 1776, he transported a part of Capt. Daniel Hedges' effects from Sag Harbor to Pochog (C. 183); same month, part of Nathaniel Huntting's effects from L.I. to Saybrook (C.81); and, in Nov., 1776, part of Lt. Obadiah Havens' effects from Shelter Island to Saybrook. (C. 69) It is possible that he served in the 3d Line (G. 46); and in Conn. (G. 91) He fitted out the brig "America," and made a very successful whaling voyage. (Caulkins' " New London," p. 640) Census of 1776: Males— above 16 years, 1 ; under 16, 2. Females — above 16,1.

Jeremiah Haley, Thomas Robinson and James Wiggins. (C. 66) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 10) Having been plundered by Lt. Jacob White and Samuel Combs, he petitioned for relief, Feb. 12, 1778; which was granted, in May, 1778. (Page 203. Also E. 4-9) On Mar. 20, 1780, he was one of several Refugees living at East Haddam who were permitted to go to L. I. for provisions, flax &c (D. 44) On Apr. 11, 1780, he petitioned to return, stating that he had come to East Haddam with his wife, seven children, his sister's dau. and two servants ; and that two children had been born since. The petition was granted. (Page 185. Also E. 39-41) His sister was Abigail 5, Wid. of Col. Thomas Terry (See Terry) ; and the dau., Elizabeth 6. (Mall mann, p. 242) In Oct., same year (somewhat contradictory to the above), Capt. Jabez Gregory was permitted to bring a part of Dr. Havens' effects from L. I. to Conn. (F. 21) He was a Surgeon, connected with the Hos pital Service. (Page 179. Also " N.

Pelletreau states that he was from Shelter Island. On Sept. 26, 1776, he, apparently, transported his own goods from L. I. to Conn.; and his honesty was vouched for by the Auditors. (C. 67) In the same month, his effects, with six passengers, were moved over to Saybrook by Capt. Zebulon Stow. (C. 144) The goods moved over may have belonged to Joseph, Sr., below. As Capt. of a ship (Page 239), in the same month, he brought from L. I. to Conn, part of the effects of Sam'l L'Hommedieu; and, from East Hampton to Haddam, part of the effects of Aaron Isaaca. (C. 175, 207) In 1781, he suffered from a raid on Shelter Island. (Page 205. Also Clinton Pap., 7. 343-346). If he served in the Army, he was in the 1st and 3d of the Line (G. 43, 46); and in Conn.

(Mallmann pp. 44, 239, 240) His sister, Sarah 4, m. Alexander King. (See King. Also Mallmann, as above) She was buried at Middletown, Conn., May 13, 1790. (Tombstone at Middletown) This was evidently the Joseph, later of Bridge Hampton, who wills, Oct. 12, 1771, to his wife Jemima, and to his brothers and sisters. A codicil, Apr. 29, 1775, states that his wife d. in giving birth to a son, Joseph. The will was proved, May 31, 1775. (Howell's "Southampton," p. 428) The second named Joseph could not have been a Refugee, as he d. in 1775, a few days after signing the Association, on Shelter Island. (H. 31) Joseph, Jr. signed from the Island, and also from Suffolk County. (H. 10, 31) Joseph, Jr., was evidently Capt. Joseph the Refugee.

(C. 69) He was in Saybrook with William Havens, in 1777. (A. 43) It is stated that he was in Saybrook from Nov. 1, 1776, until Oct. 1, 1778.

(B. 3) On June 9, 1780, he petitioned the Gen. Ass'y of Conn, for permission to return with his wife and three children. He was well recommended by the Authority and Selectmen of Saybrook; and permission was given. (E. 76-77) On Mar. 28, 1782, Gov. Trumbull was authorized to permit him to go to L.

Her three sisters were allowed to go with her (A. 28) She was a dau. of Judge Abraham Schenck (See Schenck) ; and the wife of Morris Hazard, below. (A. 28) HAZARD MORRIS 5 (William 4, Judge James 3, Jonathan 2, Thomas 1) — He was a voter in Newtown. (Onderdonk's " Queens Co.") He was the husband of Catharine, above. He was in the Continental service (A. 28); but he was not in that service from the State of New York. In Apr., 1777, he had leave, from the British, to remove his three children from Newtown to Peekskill, N. Y. (Onderdonk's " Queens Co., Olden Times," p. 53) In 1779, his child was in the care of his father-in-law, Judge Abraham Schenck, on L. I. ; and Gov. Clinton gave permission to his wife to " come out into the country," under certain conditions of an exchange. (Clinton Pap., 5. 222, 223) In Oct., 1781, it was reported that he had been seen in consultation with Mayor Matthews of N. Y. City; and, while he was suspected, in accordance with the custom of the time, it is evident that nothing was done. (Clinton Pap., 7- 453-456) HEDGES— HODGES— The ancestor of the Families of this name in Southampton, Bridge Hampton and East Hampton was William 1 who came from England and was listed among the inhabitants of Southampton, in 1644. When the settlement of another Town to the Eastward was pro jected, in 1649, he was one of the first to join it. (Howell's " Southampton," p. 287) He was probably in Taunton, Mass., in 1643. (Hedges' " East Hampton," p. 290) He had sons: Isaac 2 and Stephen 2. Isaac 2 had a son, Isaac 3; and grand sons, Samuel 4 and David 4.

(C. 14) In the same month, other of his effects were brought from Sag Harbor to Chester by Capts. Elijah Mason, Jacob Riley, Robert Knight, David Sayre, Daniel Havens and James Webb — his claim being receipted for by Col. John Hulbert. (C. 98, 183) On a date not given, still other effects were brought over to Saybrook by Capt. Zebulon Stow (C. 144); and, in Sept. and Oct., 1776, five passengers to Guilford by Capt. David Landon. (C. 164) He was Lt. in Col. Mulford's Regt. (G. 2, 9); and Capt. in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 6) On July 26, 1776, he responded with one- fourth of his Co. to guard the stock.

The figures from the Census of 1776, given to David the Refugee, above, may have belonged to Dea. David. There was a tradition that the Refugee was Dea. David himself. A note of inquiry to his grandson, Hon. Henry P. Hedges, brought this characteristic answer:— I believe my grandfather, Dea., David Hedges, did pay his passage to Conn, as a Refugee, and was reimbursed therefor; and that he did not go, and for the following named reasons: — 1. Thereis a tradition, in our family, that he and his brother Daniel started to go together; and at a hill one-half a mile north on the road to Sag Harbor, Daniel went on; and David returned home with his ox cart load of goods. 394 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut 2. My father, born in 1768, must have known if they went; and it is incredible that he would not have told me. He did tell me that he and his father carted hay grown in Sag Harbor to Meigs' Expedition, May 23d, 1777. 3. My aunt Sally, when over 90, told me she was born in Sagg, May 6th, 1777. 4. Old men, 70 years ago, told me that Dea. Hedges led the meetings all through the Revolutionary War; the Minister having resigned and left, in 1775, and the church having no Minister until 1787, when Woolworth came. The illustration on Page 393 shows the house which was built and occupied by Dea. David, in 1810. Hon Henry P. 7 (Zephanah 6, Dea. David 5, Daniel 4, 3, Stephen 2, Wil liam 1) was b. Oct. 13, 1817; m. (1) Gloriana Osborn, (2) Mary G. Hildreth; d. Sept. 26, 19 1 1, aged nearly 94. Other statements relative to his family and his descendants are given in his " History of East Hampton," p. 295. Judge Hedges was for many years, the oldest living graduate of Yale. He had held many im portant offices in Church and State. As the "grand old man" of Suffolk County, he was well-beloved. His Historical books and Addresses are well known to the student. When this work on " The Refugees" was begun, he took a lively interest in it — helping much with his advice and with valuable information. Much of what he gave in this way, now preserved in these pages, might never have been made public. I wish to record, in this form, my appreciation of his assistance. On this page appears one of many kind letters that came from him. As far as practicable, he revised those biographies, in Part Two of this work, in which he was most interested ; and I re gret that he was called away before the publica tion of the book.

It has also been stated that Edmund may have been a son of Lord Chief Justice, Sir Henry Hobart; but there is no proof of this. (Miss Grace Agnes Hobart) HOBART JOHN SLOSS 4 (Rev.

The story of his life is recorded in the Ass'y Jour. of Jan. 19, 1798; wherein is given his letter to the Speaker, dated, Albany, £276. o. o 404 The Refugees of if 7 6 from Long Island to Connecticut Jan. 18. After referring to his recent election as a U. S. Senator from N. Y., he reviews his public life and shows that he is embarassed by a large debt contracted in buying a farm. He then concludes: In this situation of my private affairs, I might, perhaps, hesitate between the honor of serv ing in the Senate of the U. S., and the inevitable danger of thereby increasing my pecuniary embarassments ; but when I have said that my support for many years past, and the greater part of the little property I at present possess, have been derived from the bounty of the Legis lature, I ought to have no will of my own on the subject ; my Country has the right to determine whether my poor abilities can be of any further use to the Community, and to point out the way in which they shall be employed. I therefore go without hesitation, in obedience to the commands of the Senate and Assembly, to take a seat in the Senate of the Congress of the U. S.F relying firmly on the experience I have already had, that the Legislature of my own State will not suffer an old servant to drink of the bitter cup of poverty and distress in the evening of life. After serving a few months in the Senate, he was appointed a Judge of the XJ. S. Dist. Court for N. Y.; which office he held until his death, in 1805. He lived at Eaton Manor during the War. (Civil List) In 1800, he was living at Westchester Co., N. Y. (Griffin's " Journal," p. 202) His excellent record is set forth by Thompson. (" Long Island " 1. 474-5) His friend, Judge Egbert Benson, caused a plain marble slab to be affixed in the wall of the chamber of the Supreme Court in the "City Hall, N. Y. City, to the memory of Judge Hobart, with the following inscription: John Sloss Hobart was born at Fairfield, Connecticut. His father was a minister of that place. He was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court in 1777. and left it in 1798, having attained sixty years of age. The same year he was appointed a judge of the United States District Court for New York, and held it till his death in 1805. As a man, firm — as a citizen, zealous — as a judge, distinguished — as a Christian, sincere. This tablet is erected to his memory by one to whom he was as a friend — close as a brother. HOBART JOSHUA ( )— Prom Brookhaven to Conn. He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 20) He was in the Illicit Trade (Page 210. Also E. 192); but that fact should not always be held against a man.

Rec. is a Henry Hopping who was bapt. in 1710, and m. in 1753; and a man of that name who d. in 1777. The name does not appear anywhere else in the Rec. In the Town Rec. the name does not appear. A man of that name was one of the signers of the Association, in 1775; and, of course, a resident of East Hampton at that time. Either the date of his flight to Connecticut, in 1780, or the date of his death, in 1777, must be an error. There is no Genealogy of the Family; and the date of their coming to East Hampton is not known. The first name upon the Rec. is John Hoppin who drew some land in Wainscott, in 1700. Henry was the son of Matthias, who must have also come to East Hampton at an early date, although his name does not appear in the Town Rec. till 1736. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) HORTON — The ancestor of this name, on L. I. was Barnabas 1, who was b. at Mowsley, Leicestershire, Eng., about 1600.

(Griffin's " Journal," p. 229. See Page 406) Moore (pp. 22-24, 88-92) has been pains-taking in regard to this Family; but later, and more accurate, information is found in the Horton Gen. (G. F. Horton, Phila., 1876), which is followed, below. " The Early Hortons, of Westchester Co., N. Y.," may be found in the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, Jan. and Apr., 1905. Barnabas 1, b. July 13 (O.

Itisnot likely that he was Jonathan 5 (Jonathan 4, 3, Caleb 2, Barnabas 1), b. about 1730; m., about 1752, Bethia Horton; and removed to Orange Co., N. Y. He may have been Jonathan 4 (William 3, Capt. Jonathan 2, Barnabas 1 ; brother of Dea. William, below). If so, he was b. in 1710; m. about 1730, Abigail Horton. His children were: David 5; William 5; Joshua 5; Mehe- tabel 5 ; Abigail 5 ; Phebe 5 ; and Hannah 5. It is probable that he was a son of Dea.

(C. 94) As Capt. of a ship (Page 239), in Oct., 1776, he made two trips to L. I. for Refugees, by order of the Committee of Saybrook through Capts. Richard Dickinson and John Cochran. (Page 169.

He was at Saybrook, Apr. io, 1777, as Moderator of a meeting of 170 Refugees, asking to be repre sented in the N. Y. Convention. (A. 39) On May 3, he wrote a letter to Gov.

(A. 43) On June 27, 1777, the Council of Safety of Conn, authorized him, together with Thomas Dering and Col. John Hulbert, to permit such of the Refugees as they thought best to return to L. I. for their effects; and to remove from Conn, to Dutchess Co. those Refugees who were willing to go; and, on July 28, permits were given. (Page 172. Also A. 44) On July 3, 1777, this was confirmed, and the powers of the Committee were enlarged. (Page 172. Also D. 7) In 1779, probably, he was among a number of Refugees who petitioned Gov. Clinton for permission to buy bread in the State of N. Y. (B. 3) On Sept. 21, 1779, he was allowed to bring salt and farm produce from L. I. (Page 115. Also D. 34) On Mar. 13, 1780, he petitioned, and on Mar. 28, he was permitted, to go to L. I. for provisions and effects. (F. 1. D. 47) In 1770, he petitioned for a wharf at Sag Harbor.

(Tombstone, Old Cemetery, Huntington) A dau. of " Isaac and Hannah " is also buried there. Thus it is possible that what has been stated, above, of Carll really belongs to Lt. Carll Isaac; and that they were one and the same. KETCHAM SOLOMON, 2d, 5 (Solomon, ist, 4, Philip 3, John 2, Edward 1, of Ipswich) — From Huntington. He served as a Privateersman (" N. Y. in the Rev'n," p. 269) ; also on the Frigate " Congress," and was afterward a pen sioner. (Rear Adm'l E. S. Prime) He was a pensioner in 1833, aged 77. (" N. Y.

In Feb., 1784, he described his removal, and asked the N. Y. Ass'y for relief. (B. 14) He was a Member of the 3d and 4th Prov'l Congresses, from Queens Co. (A. 58, 59) When, on June 30, 1776, he attended the former, with credentials from the Queens Co. Com mittee, it was ordered that, as he was a Minister, he be allowed to attend at such times as he thought proper. He was a Member of the Convention of 1777 which framed the N. Y. State Constitution. He must have been living, at least temporarily, in N. Y. City, in July, 1776; for at that time, the window leads were removed from his house in a general effort to secure material for bullets for the American Army. (Page 112) His sister, Jane, m.

Catharine Bedlow Beekman. Rev. Abraham was probably related to Peter Keteltas a Refugee from N. Y. City. (q. v.) He was the son of Abraham Keteltas, a merchant of N. Y. City, who came from Holland, in 1720. He was b. in that City, Dec. 26, 1732; graduated at Yale, in 1752; and settled soon after in the borough of Elizabeth, where he continued till his removal to Jamaica, where he spent the residue of his life, except during the Revolutionary period, devoting himself to the Churches on Long Island and in Conn. The Commander-in-Chief, knowing his ability to advise, frequently consulted him. He possessed a large and valuable library which occupied much of his leisure. He published some excellent discourses, and wrote an eulogy upon Rev. Mr. Whitefield, the original of which is in the Library of the N. Y. Hist'l Soc'y. His wife, Sarah, was a dau. of Hon. William Smith, Judge of the Supreme Court of the Colony, and sister to William Smith, the Historian of New York, afterward Chief Justice of Canada. She was b. in 1732; and d. Oct. 12, 1815, having issue eleven children. (Thompson's " Long Island," 1. 111,113) The following is inscribed upon his monument, in Jamaica: — Sacred to the memory of Rev. Abraham Kettletas, obiit 30 Sept., 1798, aged 65. He pos sessed unusual talents, which were improved by profound erudition, and a heart firmly attached to the interests of his country. It may not, perhaps, be unworthy of record, that he had frequently officiated in three different languages, having preached in the Dutch and French languages in his native City of New York. KING— Much of what follows, is from the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, Apr., 1901, by Mr. Rufus King; also 1902, pp. 71-75 and 145-149, by Miss Lucy D. Akerly. Thompson's "Long Island" and Griffin's "Journal" (pp. 103, 216) are very inaccurate in regard to this Family. Moore (" Index," pp. 25, 95, 96, 97, 141, 142) is not reliable. The ancestor was William 1 Kinge, who came from the South of England to Salem, Mass., in 1635, with his wife, Dorothy, and several children. He was b. about 1595; d., intestate, about 1650-1. His Wid. and several children removed to Southold, L. I. Papers on file at Salem mention among his children: William 2, Samuel 2, and John 2. Samuel 2, b. in Eng. about 1633; m.

John 4, Samuel 3, 2, William 1; brother of John, above) — From Oyster Ponds to Saybrook, with cattle, etc., in Sept., 1776, by Capt. Zebulon Stow. There were II passengers between him and Daniel Tuthill. (C. 144) From Saybrook, on June 12, 1777, he petitioned for relief. (A. 43) In 1779, he petitioned Gov.

Also D. 34) On Mar. 28, Apr. n, and in May, 1780, he was permitted to bring wool, flax, &c. (D. 47. F. n.

(G. 65, 67) It is probable that he received his title either before, or after, the Revolutionary War. Census of 1776: Males — above 50 years, 1 ; above 16, 1 ; under 16, 2.

(Griffin, p. 281) It will be noted that the Census does not tally with this record of his birth. Another discrepancy is shown in his petition (E. 91, 93) where he states that he had aged parents with him in Saybrook, in 1780. The Ch. Rec. states 438 The.

Among them were Capt. Jonathan Fish Latham and his sons, Joseph, Elias, Daniel and Moses. This is doubted by Mr. Herbert L. Fordham, who states that the father of Jonathan Fish came directly from Conn, to the vicinity of Orient, L. I. The Hempstead branch of the Family comes from Joseph, who came directly from England, and was at Manhasset, in 1718.

Family of this name claims a distinguished ances try in England, as set forth in the several printed pedigrees of Lawrence. ihis claim was disputed by the late William H. Whitmore, of Boston; who asserted that the brothers, John, William and Thomas Lawrence, who came t°New York, m 1635, had no known ancestor of the name in England. Mr. Whitmore's statement was promptly criticized by Mr. Watson Effingham Lawrence, whose death brought the discussion to an end. (See the early Vols of the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Record) John 1 was one of the original patentees of Hempstead, in 1644; and one of the patentees of Flushing, m 1645. Soon afterward, he removed to New Amsterdam (now N. Y.

Daniel, above, and Thomas, below) — From Newtown to Rhinebeck, Dutchess Co., N. Y. Through commercial pursuits and inheritances from his brothers John and Nathaniel he was enabled to retire from business, in 1772, when about 35 years old. In that year he received the commission of Capt. in the Prov'l Militia from the Royal Government. (Thompson, 2. 369, 370) On the organization of the Militia by the Prov'l Cong., in 1775, he was appointed Maj. of the Brigade, composed of the Militia of Queens and Suffolk, of which Nathaniel Woodhull was at the same time appointed Gen. (Jour. Prov'l Cong. Also Johnston's "Campaign of 1776, etc., "p. 131) In 1776, he was pro moted from Capt. of one of the Newtown Companies to Brig. Maj. (G. 40) He accompanied Gen. Woodhull on his Expedition to prevent supplies from falling into the hands of the enemy. After the Battle of L. I., he was cut off from his family; but they managed to escape, and joined him near Fishkill, N. Y. With Mrs. Lawrence were five children, the eldest being nine years old, and the youngest about one year. (Thompson, 2. 370, 371) On Aug. 29, 1776, directly after the Battle, the N. Y. Committee of Safety directed him to give orders to Col. Smith's Regt. as to its transportation to N. Y. City. (A. 13) In 1775, he was a Commissioner for the erection of Fortifications at the Highlands. (N. Y. Sons of Rev'n. Year Book — 1909, p. 516) In 1778, he joined the Expedition against Rhode Island, and served on board the man- of-war " L'Hector," of Count d'Estaing's Fleet. He probably served as Aide to Gen. _S. H. Parsons. In Oct., 1781, he went from Middletown, Conn., to Gov. Clinton with a request that he might bring certain goods from L. I. to Conn. (Hall's " Life of Parsons," pp. 430, 431) In 1780, he was appointed one of the Comm'rs of Forfeitures for the Southern Dist. ; and also one of the Comm'rs of Sequestration for Dutchess Co. (Thomp son, 2. 372) He was a Delegate to the ist, 3d and 4th Prov'l Congresses. (A. 56, 58, 59) He was appointed Senator from the Southern Dist., and served 1777-1783. (B. 43-48) He was a Member of the Council of Appoint ment during the greater part of the War. (Sons of Rev'n Year Book, p. 516) In 1 776, he was one of the Comm'rs to procure salt from sea water.

(Same ref., 17. 3 and 42. 112-114) From 1777 to 1779, he was one of the Comm'rs to explore mines cf lead and sulphur, and to erect factories of salt and sulphur; and during this work he explored the salt springs in the Mohawk valley. (Pages 108, 1 10. Also Rev'y MSS., 51. 71 and 52. 136) In 1780, he was one of the Comm'rs to raise specie for redeeming a part of the bills emitted (Page 136. Also Rev'y MSS., 42. 113); and, in 1786, he was one of a Committee to number bills of credit. (Law of Apr. 18) After the War he retrieved his lost fortune by Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Lawrence ¦ — -Lawrence 443 investments in Land Bounty Rights and in public lands. (Thompson, 2. 374) He was the first Port Warden of N. Y. City, in 1800. (Civil List) He was a Member of the N. Y. State Cincinnati. He was b. Oct. 4, 1737; d. Sept. 4, 1812, aged 75. He m.

(Thompson, 2. 374) LAWRENCE THOMAS 4 (John 3, 2, Thomas 1 ; brother of Col. Daniel, above, and Maj. Jonathan, above) — From Newtown. On Oct. 10, 1776, he appeared before the Prov'l Convention with a letter from Gen. Scott asking permission to visit his family on L. I. (A. 16. Also Onderdonk's " Queens Co., Olden Times," p. 53) A Thomas Lawrence, served in the ist Westchester (G. 77); also in Conn. (G. 93) One of the name was a Lt. in the ist and 2d Vol. Regts. of the Militia, 1775-6 (" Archives of the State of N. Y. — the Rev'n ", p. 542); also in Col. John Lasher's Regt. (" N.

(Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 375) Onderdonk (" Queens Co., Olden Times," p. 57) mentions a Thomas, nephew of Col. Jonathan, who was at West Point, and wanted a Flag to visit his wife. It may be that the Military service, noted above, belongs to the nephew. LAWRENCE WILLIAM 5, DR. (Dr. William 4, Obediah 3, Maj. William 2, William 1) — From Oyster Bay to Southampton, late in 1776; and thence, in 1779, to Saybrook and Killingworth. (B. 30, 31. E. 48) At first, he was sus pected of being a Tory, was imprisoned and certain of his property was con fiscated; but, afterward, some of it was restored. (B. 30, 31. Also " N. Y. in the Rev'n. — Spt.," pp. 240, 256) The story of his troubles, in 1776, is pathetic. (Page 178. Also B. 31) Evidently he made good his claim to be a loyal American; for, on Nov. 22, 1779, Col. William Worthington wrote to Gov. Clinton, from Saybrook, that the bearer of the letter was Dr. William Lawrence, from L. L, who had resided at Southampton about three years: He has been very Serviceable in procuring intelligence from the Enemy while he lived there, which has been Regularly Conveyed to Gov. Trumbull by me. He left the Island last week, fearing to stay longer. I sent him to Gov. Trumbull who gave him a permit to take his effects off the Island, some of which are merchants' goods. I hope that you will favor him. (Clinton Pap., 5. 368, 569) Not long after this, Dr. Lawrence, under a permit dated Nov. 11, 1779, moved his goods to Saybrook; where, on Nov. 27, 1779, they were seized by Ephraim Kelsey, Serjt. of the Guard. On Dec. 18, Kelsey was ordered to return the goods on payment of reasonable expenses. (Page 210. Also D. 42 ) In May, 1780, a Committee of the Conn. Gen. Ass'y investigated the conduct of Col. William Worthington, Supt. of the Guard at Saybrook, as to the goods of Dr. Lawrence and Richard Seaman, also a Refugee. In these proceedings Dr. Lawrence was called a spy. (Page 93. Also E. 48, 120, 121) On May 16, 1780, he asked permission to go to L. I. to care for his family; which was nega tived. On June 30, 1780, he requested a pass for his wife and Elizabeth Sim mons, or Seaman, to go to L. I. and remain there — he to return after settling his mother's estate. (E. 48) On the latter date, permission was granted to his wife and sister to go to L. I. (F. 14) From this it would appear that his sister might have been the wife of Richard Seaman, the Refugee. (S;e Seaman) On Mar. 30, 1781, he asked permission to bring his furniture from L. I.; which was negatived. (F. 7) Although he belonged to the Flushing branch of the Family, he settled at Oyster Bay. (Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 365) He evidently returned from Southampton occasionally; for the "N. Y. Journal", Feb. 10, 1778, described an accident to Dr. Lawrence ' ' of Mosquito Cove ' ' (now Glen Cove) . During a part of his exile he was a Surg, in the Hospital service. (Page 179. Also " N.

He removed to Groton, Conn., about 1727; and thence to Hartford, where he was elected Mayor. Among his 10 children were: Col. William 2, below; Capt. John 2; and Capt. Youngs 2. Both of the latter were sea-faring men, and both died abroad. (Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 522-523) Capt. Youngs 2 was the father of Dr. Isaac 3 and Maj. Benjamin 3, the latter a Refugee from N. Y. City. (See " The Refugees from N. Y. City ") Col. William 2 Ledyard was b. at Groton, Conn., about 1750; m. Anna, dau. of Nathaniel Williams. He had nine children. His Military service is recorded in " Conn. Men in the Rev'n." He gave permission to the Refugees to return to L. I. (Page 201. Also D. 46. E. 83, 130. F. 4) He commanded Ft. Griswold, at Groton, when it fell by the Raid of Arnold, Sept. 6, 1781. His tragic death is described on Page 235. More complete accounts of his death, and the tablets erected to his memory appear in Allen's " History of Groton Heights;" in Caulkins' " New London;" and in " Chapter Sketches, Conn. D. A.

On Mar. 26 and on Apr. 13, 1781, she stated that she had a small shop at Southold, and asked permission to remove to Conn, with her effects; which was granted. (F. 34, 38) She was visiting with her uncle, Col. William 2, on that fateful Sept. 6, 1781, when Ft. Griswold fell. On entering the Fort, the first sight she beheld was the body of her dead uncle. She ministered to the wounded and dying long after the enemy had left. (Page235. Also Griffin's "Journal," p. 140. Also " Chapter Sketches, Conn. D. A.

" I charge you my dear children that you fear God and keep his commandments, and that you uphold his public worship with as great diligence and constancy as you can, and that you be constant in the duty of secret prayer twice every day, and all the days of your life, and all of you that come to be heads of families that you be constant in family worship evening and morn ing with your families, besides your prayers at meat, and that in your prayers you pray for ¦converting grace for yourselves and others, and that God would show you the excellency of Christ, and cause you to love and believe in him, and show you the evil of sin and make you hate it and forever flee from it, and that you may never give over until you have obtained con verting grace from God. Furthermore I charge you to choose death rather than deny Christ in any degree. Also I charge you that you never turn Papist or Heretic, but serve God in the way that you have been brought up, and avoid all evil companions lest you be led into temptation and a snare. Also be very careful to avoid all excess in drinking, also to avoid profaneness and all other sins. Also I charge you always to be dutiful to your mother and kind to one another. This I leave in charge to all my posterity to the end of the world, charging every person of them to keep a copy of this my dying charge to my children. This is my dying charge to my children.

(See Sylvester, in Dering) In his will, her friend, Latimer Sampson, left to her one-half of his estate of 3,000 acres on what is now Lloyd's Neck. All of the parties interested in the estate of Nathaniel Sylvester united in a quit-claim deed, to James Lloyd, of the Latimer Sampson property, on Lloyd's Neck — a facsimile of which appears in the " Mag. of Amer. Hist.," Nov., 1887. James 1 secured the other half by purchase; and, by becoming the proprietor, gave his name to the peninsula. (Whitaker's " Southold," p. 293) James 1 had eleven children. (Mallmann's " Shelter Island," p. 177) Moore (" Index," p. 26) mentions Thomas 2, b. about 1673, as one of them. James I had a son, Henry 2, b. Nov. 28, 1685; m. (1) Nov. 23, 1708, Rebecca (b.

Also E. 137, 138) From Danbury, on Jan. 12, 1782, he asked permission to go to L. I. to collect debts due to him, and to bring back 1,000 bushels of salt; which was granted. (E. 139) He was a Regent of the N. Y. University, 1784-1787. (Civil List) About 1786, he sued the estate of Benjamin Conkling for trespass. (B. 25) He was about 30 years old when the Revolution began; and having, in 1780, become entitled to a part of the Neck, by devise from his uncle Joseph, he suffered much in his property by the enemy, who kept possession of the Neck during the War. He received an appointment in the Commissariat, the very responsible duties of which he discharged with a fidelity which met the appro bation of the Commander-in-Chief. On his return to his farm, in 1783, he m. Amelia, dau. of Rev. Ebenezer White, of Danbury, Conn. The office of Judge of Queens Co. was tendered to him by Gov.

Drake's Provisional Regt. which contained many Refugees. (G. 10) He probably served, also, in Conn. (G. 93); and may have served as Capt. in the 3d and 4th Westchester.

His son, Reuben 6, b. in Western Conn., Apr. 17, 1762. (Lockwood Gen.) LOPER — Those of this name in America are said to have descended from Lyon, or Leon, de Lopez, a Spaniard who came from the W. Indies. He had a son, Samuel Loper, who served in the French War; and a grandson, Samuel ¦ Fyler Loper, who served in the Rev'y War. They settled at Guilford, Conn., before the latter War; but there is a family tradition that Samuel and two of his brothers came from L. I. Samuel, the first, had a son David. Samuel Fyler Loper had two daughters, and sons: Henry, Horace, Edward and Samuel. Henry was my father. (Prof. S. Ward Loper) Lion Loper moved to North Guilford, Conn., from East Hampton, L. I., about 1745. From him are descended, James Douglas Loper, of Guilford, Conn., and his son, Charles D. Loper, of Chicago. (Mr. John H. Loper) Samuel Fyler Loper was probably not of Spanish origin. The East Hamp ton Ch. Recs. give, Nov. 19, 1718, marriage of Samuel Filer to Joanna Loper. She was probably a dau. of Lion Loper; but might have been Joanna, dau. of James and Elizabeth Loper, b. Feb. 6, 1688. (Boston City Recs.) James seems to have been in Boston, and at Cape Cod, after 1684. (J. H. L.) Isaac Loper, of Bridge Hampton (b. in 1743, d. in 1812), mentions in his will sons: Jason, Jared, David and Luther. He gives land to Jared; " also my great Bible." Jason and Jared, lived near him, and inherited the Farms. David moved to Noyac; and Luther, to Islip. My father, Isaac, b. Oct. 25, 1810, was son of Luther; son of Isaac, of Bridge Hampton. A grand dau. of Jared, Mrs. Mary Frances Osborn, lives at Derby, Conn. (J. H. L.) Capt. Jacob I was from Holland, and a Member of the Council of New Amsterdam. In 1646, he m. Cornelia, dau. of Cornelius Melyn, and had: Jacob 2, Janneken 2, and perhaps others. In 1653, his Wid. m. Jacob Schel- linger. (Col. Hist. N. Y. Also N. Amsterdam Dutch Ref. Ch. Rec.) James 2 (probably the Jacob 2, above, as the names are used interchangeably in the East Hampton Town Rec), m. in 1674, Elizabeth, dau. of Arthur Howell, and grand dau. of Lyon Gardiner. He had: Lyon 3, who is in the East Hamp ton Town Rec, 1696-1736; Arthur 3; and perhaps others. At this point a generation has probably been omitted; so that we have — James 5, of East Hampton, b. about 1717, d. in 1790. He had: Daniel 6; William 6; Amos 6; James 6, below; and Abraham 6, below. Daniel 6 signed the Association, in 1775 (H. 28); and he was in the Census of 1776, with two males over 16 years old, one of whom was probably David 7, below. (Dr. Arthur C. Loper) Dr. Loper states, further, that Capt. Jacob 1 came from Stockholm, Sweden; that, at one time, he was stationed at Caracoa Islands, W. I.; that he came to New Amsterdam, before 1642; and that he was a Lt. Capt. in the service of the Dutch W. I. Co. Arthur 4 [See the next paragraph, below], had sons: John 5, James 5 and Isaac 5. Isaac 5 hadsons: Luther 6, David 6, Jared 6 and Jason 6. Arthur 3, son of James 2, of East Hampton, m. Patience, dau. of George Havens and Elinor Thurston. He removed to N. J. The fact that he had relatives living there may have influenced his moving. He was in Elizabeth- Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Lockwood — Ludlam 457 town, in 1700. (N. J. Recs.) The will of Arthur, of Salem Co., mentions, wife Patience; children, David 4, Arthur 4, Thurston 4, John 4, James 4, William 4, Jonathan 4 and Phebe 4. All except David were under age. The land was in Piles Grove Precinct. The will proved, June 13, 1720. This gives us the fourth gen., through Arthur. I know of no record to establish the tradition that Arthur returned to L. I.; m. Sally Rogers; moved onto land North of Bridge Hampton, and probably established the branch of the Family there. The Bridge Hampton Ch. Recs. give brothers and sisters: John, James, Isaac, Patience and Mary. We assume them to be children of Arthur 4 and Sally Rogers. (J. H. L.) LOPER ABRAHAM 6, SERJT.

(G. 31) LOPER DAVID 7 (Son of David 6, above)— Probably from East Hampton to Stonington. He is mentioned as a soldier who was brought over, in Sept., 1776, by Capt. Eliphalet Budington. (C. 204) He served in the 3d Line. (G. 46) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 28) He returned to L. I. (Dr. A. C. L.) LOPER JAMES 6 (Son of James 5; brother of Serjt. Abraham, above) — From East Hampton. He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 31) ; also in the 4th Line. (G. 48) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 10, 28) He was b. about 1737. (G. 31) LUDLAM— LUDLOW— LUDLUM— The name was spelled Ludlam until about the time of the Revolution; but since that time it has been spelled Ludlow. (Howell's " Southampton," p. 339) I am satisfied that Ludlam is the only name they can rightfully claim. Lud low is a Family of an altogether different origin. It is well understood, in Bridge Hampton, when and why they changed Ludlam into Ludlow. It was simply the freak of a schoolmaster, who had better have been in other business. (Mr. Addison M. Cook) In the Western part of L. I., the name is still Ludlam ; except that, in Jamaica and Hempstead, the name is spelled Ludlum. See Riker's " Newtown," p. 20; also Liber A., p. 166, County Clerk's Office, Jamaica — for early instances. (Mr. George W. Cocks) The Family of Ludlow should be considered briefly before passing on to Lud lam; especially as Ludlow will be found in " The Refugees from N. Y. City." I think that Roger Ludlow, Dep'y Gov. of Mass. and Conn., must have been a brother of Edmund the Regicide; and when Goffe and his companion were about to enter Fairfield to escape arrest, Roger thought best to escape as " It is said Goffe saw a face in church that he thought he knew" (seeing a resemblance to his fellow Regicide Edmund). As Roger wished to change his name, I think it was quite natural for him to take Williams, or William,, and Ludlam in place of Ludlow. Edmund's father was Sir Henry; and William's son was Henry, and grandson also, which looks as though Roger's father's name may have been Henry.. I do not know that Roger Ludlow's place of hiding^ was ever known unless this is the solution. It has been stated that William i repeatedly urged his eldest son, William 2 , to return to England and claim inheritance. But nothing ever came of it. William I was evidently afraid to return; and William 2 may have been afraid, also. (Dr. Charles L. Squire. See also Russell) Roger Ludlow was a son of Thomas, of Wiltshire, Eng.

His name is not on the list of 1649; but his sons are on the list of 1657. (Howell's " South ampton," p. 339) William 1 had a wife, Clemence, sister of Rev. Robert Fordham. He d. in 1665, at Southampton. Of his sons: William 2, b. in 1628; d. in 1667-8.. 458 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut He lived in Huntington at the time of his father's death. He had a son, John 3. (N. Y. Gen'l & Biog'l Rec, 15. 93) Joseph 2, lived at Watermill, in 1665; thence to Oyster Bay, in 1675; and thence to N. J.

(F. 122) LUDLAM ANTHONY 5 (Anthony 4, 3, 2, William 1)— From Bridge Hampton to Stonington. In Sept., 1776, he was brought over by Capt. Isaac Sheffield. (C. 212) It is stated, in the East Hampton Town Rec, that Anthony Ludlam, of Southampton, entered his cattle for pasturing on Montauk; also that, in 1740, Samuel Ludlam did the same thing. The East Hampton Ch. Rec. has this entry: " 1713 — Old Mrs. Ludlam died." Samuel was a brother of Anthony; and the death recorded may have been that of their mother, Wid. of Anthony 4. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) Anthony 5 signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 11) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 1. Females — above 16, 1; under 16, 3. (A. 54) He was b. — — ¦ ¦ — ; m.

I. to assist his father in removing his family to Blooming Grove, Orange Co., N. Y., by way of Conn. (F. 60) He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 30); also in the 4th Line. (G. 46) LUDLAM STEPHEN 5 (Henry 4, 3, 2, William 1)— From Bridge Hampton. His father was known as ' ' Henry, of Bridgehampton." Stephen was ^^V^^^-s. a Refugee. (Hon. Henry P.

If the latter, he was a brother of Rachel 4, who m. Thomas Squier) — From Jamaica. He was in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 4, 6, 21, 27, 36); and was at Brooklyn before the Battle of L. I. (Page 41) A private of this name served in the Line, Canadian Regt. (G. 52); and in the Ass'd Exempts of Orange. (G. 76) On Dec. 2, 1776, he was given a Com mission, as Capt. (Jour. Committee of Safety); and, on Dec. 31, by the Con vention. (Jour. Prov'l Cong.) On Dec. 16, 1776, the Committee of Safety ordered that he should be paid for his services. (A. 23) If he belonged to Bridge Hampton, as was claimed by Hon. Henry P. Hedges, the Census of 1776 showed: Males — above 50 years, 1. Females- above 16, 4. (A. 54) He signed the Association, in 1775, and 1776. (H. 9, 12) He was probably William 6 (William 5, 4, John 3, William 2, 1) Ludlum, known as William, Jr., of Jamaica. He was b. Oct. 5, 1746; d. Nov. 22, 1816. He was appointed Capt. after a letter to the N. Y. Prov'l Cong., dated July 26, 1 776, from Joseph Robinson and Noah Smith of the Queens Co. Committee of Safety. He succeeded John J. Skidmore, who had been promoted to Maj. His Company was made up of men from Jamaica, and vicinity. It originally belonged to Col. John Sand's Regt. of Militia; but, later, was trans ferred to Col. Josiah Smith's Regt. What service this Company rendered, I cannot tell; though I thmk it acted as a patrol on the beaches. In his Com pany was Nehemiah Ludlum, perhaps a younger brother of Capt. William, b. m July, 1751, d. June 18, 1827; also Nicholas Ludlum, who evidently d. before the pay roll was completed. (Dr. Charles H. Ludlum. See also G. 27) Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Ludlam — • McFarren 459 LYON HENRY, CORP. ( )— Probably from Brook haven. He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 18, 35) ; and possibly in Conn. (G. 93) He was probably a descendant of Richard, of Fairfield, Conn. (Dr. A. B. Lyons. Mr. Sidney E. Lyon) He may have been a descendant of Thomas, brother of Richard. Henry, another brother of Richard, was of Newark, N. J. (Dr. A. B. L.) A Henry Lyons, from Brookhaven, refused to sign the Association, in 1775. (H. 22) McCALLUM DUNCAN— From Bridge Hampton to Chester. In Sept., 1776, with six passengers, he was taken from Sag Harbor to Chester by Capt. Elijah Mason. (C. 98) He may have been a brother of Mallom, or Malcom, Maccolum, of Southampton, who served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 30) He may have been the Duncan McConnelly who stated that he had deserted from the enemy, and was confined as a disaffected person. He petitioned for a hearing. (Jour. Prov'l Cong.) He served in Conn. (G. 94) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 3; under 16, 3. Females — above 16, 2; under 16, I. (A. 54) On May 19, 1779, Capt. Nehemiah Seelye complained to the Comm'rs of Conspiracies of Albany Co., that Duncan McConelly had spoken disrespect fully of the Cong, of the U. S. His testimony was confirmed. (Minutes of the Comm'rs, pp. 344, 345, 348) McCLOSKY — The members of this Family came to America from County Derry, Ireland. Henry McClosky was champion of the Ribbonmen as against the Orangemen. For the sake of peace, nearly all of his children emigrated. One of them, a farrier, was on Washington's Body Guard. Two others settled in Brooklyn — one, the father of Cardinal McClosky; the other, the father of Henry, the first editor of the present " Brooklyn Eagle." Two others settled in Philadelphia and Pittsburg, respectively, where they have descendants now. Still another, my ancestor, settled in N. Y. City where all of his children were born. It is possible that the L. I. branch came from Thomas, father of the Cardinal. (Mr. J. J. McClosky) McCLOSKY, or McCLOSSEY, BETTY, MRS.— From L. I. to Ridge field. On Nov. 2, 1780, she was allowed to go to L. I. with five children, clothing &c.

See also Hazard) It is possible that he served in the ist Line. (G. 43) McFARREN THOMAS— From L. I. to Norwich. After the capture of Maj. John Davis and Capt. John Grinnell, on Nov. 3, 1781, he was appointed to continue their work of procuring money on loan, and clothing for the Line. Capt. Thomas Grinnell was associated with him. (Pages 94, 96.

I. which met to confer with the Dutch Commanders. He is probably the one mentioned by Moore (" Index," pp. 101, 102) who m. Margaret ; removed to Miller's Place; d. before 1720. His tomb stone states that he d. in 1725, aged 85. (Mr. Elihu S.

(Onderdonk's " Suffolk Co.," p. 79) These statements contradict the assertion that he did not go to Conn., but retired within the American Lines. He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 28) He was Supervisor of the Town of East Hampton, 1 746-1 777; Justice of the Peace, in 1763; Town Clerk, 1 746-1 777; and acted as such, in 1774, when he was appointed on the Committee of Correspondence for the Town.

(G. 95) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 32) There was a Benjamin on Shelter Island after the War. (Mallmann's " Shelter Island," pp. 74, 80, 96) _ I have no record of a Benjamin having lived in Conn. (Mr. William G. Nicoll) NICOLL ROBERT ( )— From Smithtown, or Hun- tington._ He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 32); and probably, as Robert Nicols, in Col. Drake's Provisional Regt. (G. 10) There was no Robert in the Nicoll Family, above mentioned. (W. G. N.) NORRIS — It is stated that Robert had been in Southampton, since 1667. In 1683, Peter and Robert were both tax payers, and lived to the East, probably at Sagg. Peter had a wife, or dau. Sarah; and daughters, Hannah and Elizabeth. Robert had a wife, Hannah, and children: Robert, Oliver Hannah, Mary and Sarah. In 1683, Oliver was taxed in East Hampton. (Howell's " Southampton," p. 434) Probably Oliver and Silas, the Refugees, were in the 2d or 3d, generation, below. Nicholas, b. about 1640, settled at Hampton, N. H., about 1663; and has many descendants there. (Norris Gen.) 31 482 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut NORRIS OLIVER ( ) — From Shelter Island; where he signed the Association, in 1775.

(E. in, 112) He was an Ens. and a Lt.; and served in N. Y. City, in 1775 and 1776. (G. 40. Also " Archives of the State of N. Y. — The Rev'n.," p. 542) He also served as Lt. in Col. Lasher's Regt. (" N. Y. in the Rev'n," p. 218) He m. Sarah 5, dau. of Ezekiel Wickes. (See Wickes) NORTH GABRIEL— From Queens Co. to Norwalk. In Feb., 1780, his petition to return to L. I. was granted. (E. m, 112) Evidently he after ward removed to Delaware Co., N. Y.; for, on Jan. 5, 1799, he was one of the petitioners from that Co. to the N. Y. Ass'y praying that a part of the Town of Colchester be annexed to the Town of Walton. (Ass'y Jour.) NORTON — This Family descends from Rev. John I, who came from England and was the second Minister of Ipswich, Mass., in 1636. His son, George 2, came to Brookhaven, in 1660. (Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 495) Thomas Norton, 17th " Signer " at Guilford, in 1639, was probably son of William Norton of Ockley, Eng., who was one of Mr. Whitfield's Church Wardens in that place. In May, or June, 1639, he was at New Haven, Conn.; and went from that Town to Guilford with the first inhabitants. He may have been the ancestor of the Long Island Nortons. See Smith's and Steiner's " History of Guilford, Conn." (Miss Lucy D. Akerly) Whitaker (" Southold," p. 46) mentions Humphrey Norton among the early settlers at Southold. NORTON GEORGE (Perhaps a grandson of George 2)— He may have been from Huntington, as he served in Capt. Thomas Wickes Co., in Col. Smith's Regt., which was from that Town. (G. 34) He served in Conn., also. (G. 95) One of the name signed the Association, in 1775, from Brook haven (H. 24); and another, from Huntington. (H. 29) His dau., Temperance, b. June 19, 1749; m. in 1772, Israel Titus; d. Oct. 26, 1789, and is buried at Huntington. He was b. Feb. 16, 1744; d. Aug. 15, 181 1. (Mr. Edmund D. Titus. Also Titus Gen.)

Aug. 11, 1836. He lived at North Salem, N. Y. (E. D. T. Also Titus Gen.) NORTON NATHANIEL, CAPT. (Son of Nathaniel, son of John— Family Tree, owned by Miss Emma L. Norton) — From Brookhaven to Guilford. On Feb. 26, 1780, he petitioned the Gen. Ass'y of Conn., stating that his family had returned to L. I., and asking leave to go there after clothing, &c; which was granted, under certain restrictions. (E. 30, 31) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 26, 27) He was a Lt., at Brookhaven, Aug. 7, 1775 (Jour. Prov'l Cong.), by a Com mission issued by the Cong., June 29, previous (G. 1); in the 3d Line (G. 45, Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Norris — Osborn 483 46); in the 4th Line. (G. 47. Also Clinton Pap., 6. 5) He was a Capt. in the 4th Line (G. 47, 48) ; and served until the end of 178 1 , when the five Regi ments of the N. Y. Line were consolidated. He was then appointed to a more important work, noted below; but his pay as Capt. was continued to the end of the War, and he became entitled to his due succession of rank, by a reso lution of Cong. He took part in the Battle of Monmouth, and he was a mem ber of Gen. Sullivan's Expedition against the Six Nations. (" N. Y. State Cincinnati." Also Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 494) He also served in Conn. (G. 95) In 1776, he went to L. I. after money for bounties. (Page 100) On Aug. 15, 1780, he wrote to Gov. Clinton, from Camp Tappen, that he had enlisted a number of men on the Frontiers, and that he could have done better with hard cash. He proposed that Maj. John Davis and himself should procure such cash from the inhabitants of Suffolk Co. who are " our stanch friends and who have a considerable quantity of hard cash. ' ' The Gov. replied that the plan was practicable; but he would not engage in it unless it was adopted by the Legislature. (Clinton Pap., 7. 103, 122) On May 2, 1781, Ezra L'Hommedieu wrote from Middletown asking the Gov. for a commis sion for Capt. Norton to cruise in L. I. Sound in an armed boat, as he might bring a number of families from L. I. to the interior of the State of N. Y. (Clinton Pap., 6. 824) Then followed, still in 1781, a secret commission by Gov. Clinton to Capt. Norton to obtain the money on L. I. ; and, to conceal the object in view, he was appointed to the command of a small armed vessel, the " Suffolk," in which he cruised between Sands Point and New Haven. (Page 218.

(A. 51) He was b., at Brookhaven, in 1742. [Miss Emma L. Norton says, 1743] He served in the French War, 1756-1760; and was at Oswego in the latter year. After the Rev'y War he became a Member of the Cincinnati, and returned to his farm. In 1790, he became an Elder, and later a Minister, in the Baptist Church. He had pastorates in Conn, and at Herkimer, N. Y. This work he relinquished, in 1805. _ He d. Oct. J, 1837, being at that time the oldest member of the Cincinnati. He is buried near the Baptist Church, at Coram, L. I. One of his children was Dr. Samuel Norton, of Coram, who / yf /j 0 I / -/— d. in 1840.

This was before he went to Herkimer. He preached in New York quite a while when very old ; and he was keeping house there, with his third wife, when he d. (Miss E. L. N.) Prof. Robert N. Corwin quotes from the Manual of the Congregational Church in Baiting Hollow: It [The Cong. Ch. in B. H.] arose in part from the faithful labors of Capt. Nathaniel Norton, who, during the Revolutionary War, commanded some sailing craft, and as early as 1781 was the leader of religious meetings in this place. NUGENT ARTHUR B— On Feb. Of ,y yp . _ ~ 28, 1781, he petitioned for leave to y7?iS&&t4t. /J yt£y9-&>yr return to his business on L. I.; which was not allowed. (E. 144) He may have m. Wid. Anna Hinchman. (See Hinchman) OSBORN — OSMAN — No such name as Osman appears in the Southampton Records. Others following Thompson, who gives it, have been perplexed at finding no traces of the name. (Howell's " Southampton," p. 435) In the latter part of the eighteenth century the Osman and Osborn names became singularly confused. This confusion misled for a time even such a careful writer as the late J. Wickham Case. In a note in Southold Printed Records, Vol. I, p. 98, on 1st Thomas Osman, Mr. Case identifies the families, saying, " They changed their family name Osman to Osburn in 1778 (See Vol. D. 136)." This he corrected in a later note. Vol. 2, p. 536, where he explains, "These two names became confounded on the Town Records in 1778, the name being written Osman by the Town Clerk when he should have written it Osborn." * * * The confusion of / 484 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut the names Osman and Osborn must have been general. * * * It was not so impossible to the ear as it appears to the eye. One was pronounced " Osm'n," and the other " Osb'n." (Craven's " Mattituck," p. 74) On the other hand, many authorities are of the opinion that Osborn and Osman are the names of wholly distinct Families. Whitaker (" Southold," p. 46) mentions Thomas Osborn among the early settlers at Southold. Hon. Henry P. Hedges (" East Hampton," pp. 317-326) gives a history of the Osborns of East Hampton. Thomas 1 had a son, Thomas 2, who d. at East Hampton, in 1712. Thomas 2 had sons: Joseph 3, b. about 1671 , m. Mary Hedges, d. Oct. , 1743 ; and Daniel 3, m. Elizabeth Hedges, d. in 1 713. Joseph 3 had a son, Joseph 4, who had sons: Joseph 5, and Lewis 5, the Refugees, below. Daniel 3 had a son, Daniel 4, m. Elizabeth Austin; d. in 1757. Daniel 4 had sons: Daniel 5, and Jonathan 5, the Refugees, below. Hedges (pp. 324-326) states that the Osborns of Wainscott, L. I., were from John 2 (son of Thomas 1), who had a son Thomas 3, b. about 1660, d. in 1745. OSBORN ABRAHAM ( )— From East Hampton. He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 28) He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 31); and in the 4th Line. (G. 48) The Gen. gives the name of no man who could have been a Refugee; but I find in the East Hampton Ch. Rec. there was an Abraham Osborn, b. in 1736; and one who d. in 1772. Whether they were the same, it is impossible to tell. There is no record in East Hampton of any Abraham who was 19 years old, in 1776. There was one in East Hampton, in 1775, who was one of the signers to the Association. I think he must have been the one b. in 1736. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) He was b. about 1757 (G. 31); m., Jan. n, 1782, Dorothy Booge. (East Haddam, Conn., Ch. Rec.) OSBORN DANIEL 5 (Daniel 4, 3, Thomas 2, 1; brother of Jonathan, below) — From East Hampton up the Conn. River, with six in the family, in Sept. and Oct., 1776, by Capt. John Vail. (C. 177) If he was the one named in the Census of 1776 as being over 50 years old and having no family (A. 52), the acquirement of the family of six within a few months is a mystery. Another mystery is that, while he was b. in 1720 and d. in 1792, and while as a resident of East Hampton he became a Refugee, yet his name does not appear among the signers of the Association — that document stating that it had been signed by every male in East Hampton capable of bearing arms. (H. 28) He may, however, have signed in Brookhaven. (H. 20) He was b. May 11, 1720; d. Dec. 4, 1792. He had a sister, Rebecca 5, b. in 1722, probably notm., d. in 1804. (Hedges, p. 322) He may have m. Mary Huntting; and, if so, he had a dau., Rebecca 6, b. May 4, 1768; m. Dec. 8, 1796, Solomon Moon, of Queensbury, Warren Co., N. Y. Their dau., Mary 7, was the mother of Mrs. Cooley. (Dr. James S. Cooley) Dr. Cooley continues: This Osborn family were Patriots. They were surrounded by Tory neighbors. The feeling was so strong against the Patriots that Mr. Osborn abandoned his farm in East Hampton and crossed to Conn., in the night, taking his family and his household furniture with them. The daughter, Rebecca, was then 14 years old, and the crossing to Conn, was made the night after the surrender of Cornwallis, which surrender was not known for many days thereafter. The same Census showed another Daniel, in Southold, who was also over 50 years old ; and who had a wife, but no children. (A. 55) He was probably Capt. Daniel, mentioned by Hedges (p. 318); who in his will, proved in 1782, named a son Daniel; and who was probably the Daniel, Member of the N. Y. Ass'y from Suffolk Co., in 1787, 1788. He was the father of the late Hull Osborn and Dr. Thomas Osborn, of Riverhead. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) Men of this name served in the 5th Line (G. 49) ; in the 4th Orange (G. 75) ; and in Conn. (G. 95) There was a Dr. Osborn in the Hospital service. (" N. Y. in the Rev'n. — Spt.," p. 45) OSBORN ELISHA 5 (Elisha 4, Thomas 3, John 2, Thomas 1)— From East Hampton to E.

There seems to be no evidence to show that he ever came to Southold. In fact, some branches of the Family pronounce the tradition to be absolute fiction. John Elton appears in the Southold Rec, 1652-1683. In 1654, he m. Anna, dau. of Barnabas Wines, Sr. (See Wines), of Southold, and Wid. of Francis Nichols of Stratford, Conn. John Elton d. in 1675, leaving the bulk of his estate to his nephew, Isaac 1 Overton, son of his sister Hannah Elton Overton. His will was proved June 3, 1675. (Dr. John B. Lewis. Also Moore's " Index," p. 16. Also Southold Town Rec, 1. 123 — Notes of J. Wickham Case) Dr. Lewis gives this complication, which would annoy even an expert genealogist: About 1645 Anna, daughter of first Barnabas Wines, married Francis Nichols of Stratford, Conn. Nichols died in 1650; his Wid. returned to Southold; married John Elton, and under date of April 30, 1654, she, as the wife of Elton, obtained from him a release of certain properties in accordance with an ante-nuptial agreement or marriage settlement duly recorded in Liber A. p. 61, Southold Records. Elton died in 1675; and, in 1686, his Widow married John Tooker, first obtaining from him a bond or marriage contract — Liber C. p. 106. Tooker died; and under date of September 9, 1693, we find record of bond in the sum of £300 — Liber C. p. 197 — given by Col. John Youngs, eldest son of Pastor Youngs, to fulfill and keep a speci fied agreement of marriage with the Widow, Anna Nichols, Elton, Tooker, nee Wines. Isaac 1 Overton, b. in England, and emigrated to this country prior to 1652. He was then in his early childhood, and under the care or guardian ship of his widowed mother Hannah (Elton) Overton; and, of his uncle John Elton. About 1670, he m. Sarah ¦ , whose family name is -unknown. He d. in 1688. (Dr. John B. Lewis) He appears in the Southold Recs., 1675-1688. (Moore, as above, p. 30. Also Whitaker's "Southold," p. 46) His children were: a dau. 2, unnamed, b. about 1671 ; Isaac 2, below; John 2, below; and Thomas 2, d. Oct. 24, 1706. (Salmon Rec Also Moore, as above, p. 106) Isaac 2, b. in May, 1673 (Dr. John B. Lewis), b. in 1683 (Moore, p. 106); m. Abigail, dau. of Nathaniel Moore (Southold Town Recs., p. 123. See also Moore); d. Nov. 4, 1723 (Moore, p. 106), d. Nov. 7, 1723, aged 40I. (Salmon Rec.) His children were: Nathaniel 3; John 3 and James 3, the Refugees, below; and Elton 3, d. July 17, 1769. (Salmon Rec. Also Moore, p. 106) He probably had other children. Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Osborn — Overton 487 John 2, d. Dec 28, 1706. (Salmon Rec. Also Moore, p. 106) Isaac, " The Strong Man," was probably a son of John 2 or Thomas 2. The prevailing opinion is that he was a son of John 2. He d. Mar. 4, 1740. (Salmon Rec.) Griffin ("Journal," p. 153) relates stories showing his great strength; and states that he d. in 1744, aged 60. If so, he was b. about 1684. It has been stated, further, that John 2 had sons: Thomas 3, Maj. William 3, and perhaps others. Also that Isaac 3, the " Strong Man," removed to Coram, L. I. ; and Maj. Wil liam 3, to East Patchogue, then known as " Jew Street." (Mrs. Charles W. Parks) Maj. William I is unknown to me. (Dr. Frank Overton) Many tales are told of the " Giant's " Strength. At a Town Meeting he offered to lie on his back and allow any six men to hold him down by his hands and feet. When all were ready, the Giant gave one spring and brushed them off like so many flies. _ He was of so great stature that a large iron bed had been provided for him. Shortly before his death, he became involved in a discussion with a man of ordinary size. It was at meal time. The man spat upon the Giant's plate. He was enraged at the insult; and, reaching across the table, picked up his opponent and threw him out of the window with such force that the frame was broken. A short time after this, the Giant suddenly died. It was supposed that he had been poisoned by the man whom he threw out of the window. In his death struggle, he grasped the top posts of his iron bed and crushed, or broke, them in pieces, saying " I've been a strong man, but Death is stronger than I." Placing, tentatively, Isaac " the Strong Man " as Isaac 3, we find the tradition that he had 12 children. The name of but one, David 4, is apparent. He was b. in 1712 (Mrs. Yetta Overton West); m. (1) Anna Hulse, m. (2) Susannah, dau. of Nehemiah 4 Palmer, of Conn. Mrs. D. R. Davis, of Coram, has the Bible of David 4, in which these entries are found. The first six children, are by his first wife; the other six, by his second wife: David 5, b. Aug. 29, 1739; Maj. Isaac 5, below; Anna 5, b. Jan. 30, 1743; Abigail 5, b.

The Official Records do not contain their names, as of Col. Floyd's Regt. In regard to ser vice elsewhere, the Records are silent as to Justus. There was a Nathaniel in Col. Smith's Regt.

In the citations from Appendix C., given in Nathaniel, Sr., above, the original documents make no distinction between Nathaniel, Sr., and Nathaniel, Jr. It is probable that the citations which mention Guilford as the point of arrival relate to Nathaniel, Jr.; so that it can reasonably be stated that he went from Southold to Guilford. He served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7, 37) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 12) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 1; under 16, 3. Females — above 16, 1.

But the documents noted above (E. 10, 11) mention his name as Parsons; and his autograph convinces that he was not identical with Capt. Pierson. It may be that he was Corp. David Pierson.

He set up his trade of a Gold Smith in this town, and has performed his business to universal satisfaction, and is esteemed a judicious Gentleman and a friend of this and all the American States ; and being now determined to remove with his family into the Town of Saybrook in this State, allpersons are desired to per mit the said Capt.

(See Smith) It was probably his father, William 4, who, as " Esq.," signed the Asso ciation, from Smithtown, in 1775 (H. 23, 32) ; and who appeared in the Smith- ^jlli^yrA. ftiUMy^ 504 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut town Census of 1776 as being over 50 years old.

PIERSON — During the War this name was frequently spelled Peirson (See Ap. C.) ; and not only that way, but also Parson, Parsons, Person and Persons. Many of the Family spell it Peirson, to-day — notably in Western Mass. It will also be observed that all the autographs in the following biographies give the name as Peirson. On the other hand, we have the authority of the Pierson Gen. and of Howell's " Southampton " for writing it Pierson; and Hon. James H. Pierson, of Southampton, who has made a careful inquiry, declares to the same effect. It is certain that nearly all the descendants of the Refugees, of this name, have adopted the form, Pierson. The founder of the Family on L. I. was Henry 1, who came from Lynn, Mass., to Southampton, in 1640. He m. Mary Cooper, of Lynn; d. in 1680-1. His sons were: Lt. Joseph 2; Col. Henry 2; Benjamin 2, who removed to N. J.; and Theodore 2. From Lt. Joseph 2, Henry 3, Samuel 4, Timothy 5, James 6, Capt. Philetus 7, descends Hon. James Henry 8, of Southampton. (Howell's " Southampton," pp. 348-352) Henry 1, was at Stamford, Conn., about 1640; and at Hempstead, L. I., by 1647. He had: John 2, Daniel 2, Joseph 2, Henry 2, Benjamin 2 and Sarah 2. (N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 10. 12) He went from Stamford to Hempstead, in 1644. _ (Chap. 16. Also Huntington's " Stamford," p. 39) The Family tradition is that Henry 1 d. at Southampton; and that his Wid. and son, Benjamin 2, removed to Elizabeth, N. J. (Hon. James H. Pierson) Rev. Abraham was probably a brother of Henry 1. (Whitaker's " Southold," p. 69. Also " Sage, Slocum and Allied Families ") He settled at Southampton in 1640 (Page 150). He removed to Branford, Conn., in 1644; and to Newark, N. J., in 1667. His son, Rev. Abraham, was the first President of Yale College. (Page 150. Also H. 39. Also Wood's " First Settlements on L.

(C. 123) He signed the Association, in 1775 (H. 11); also the Woolworth Agreement, in 1787. (H. 34) In 1803, he was elected an Elder in the Church at Bridge Hampton. (Hon. Henry P. Hedges) It is evident that he was the Lemuel who had the Military record; although he is not named therein as Lemuel, Jr. His age, 36, in 1776, would denote that he was b. in 1740; whereas it is stated that the date is 1744. Clerical errors may account for this discrepancy. At any rate, Lemuel, Jr. is the only one bearing that given name who could have served in Col. Mulford's Regt. (G. 2); and in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7,23,31) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, I. Females — above 16, 1; under 16, 1. (A. 54) He was b. in 1744; m. (1) Sarah , (2) Mary ; d.

(Howell, as above, p. 352) This would have made him 53 at the time of the Census; a discrepancy that has yet to be explained. It is evident, nowever, that he was Lemuel 3rd; as Lemuel, Jr. was naturally the son of Lemuel, Sr. (See Lemuel and Lemuel, Jr., above) Lemuel 3rd, m. Elizabeth, dau. of Abraham Pierson, probably not the Refugee, above. His children were: Samuel 5, below; William 5, b. in 1762 ; and perhaps others.

In 1639, he removed to Milford, Conn., where he lived until his death, in 1684. His sons, Isaac 2 and Epenetus 2, were prominently identified with the early history of Huntington, L. I., and both were patentees of the Town. Isaac 2, b. in Eng., was in Huntington by 1666; d. July 31, 1691, As he was not the ancestor of Judge Ebenezer and Capt.

(Thompson, as above) About 1770 Eliphalet Piatt, went from Huntington to Dutchess County,. N. Y., by way of Stamford and Sharon, Conn. Who his father was is not definitely determined. At about the same time that he went to that County, a John Piatt and an Israel Piatt were there also ; the last of whom was a Captain in the Revolution. They, also, came from Huntington, as did Zephaniah Piatt. What relation they were to each other is not determined. Possibly John, Eliphalet and Israel were brothers and cousins of Zephaniah; who, with his brothers, Charles, Nathaniel and Daniel, founded Plattsburgh, N. Y. His son, Zephaniah 2nd, as he was called, lived near Poughkeepsie for some time later. (Hon. Edmund Piatt, Poughkeepsie, N, Y.) Lt. Charles 5 evidently removed to Dutchess Co., N. Y., before the War. He was a private in the 5th Militia (G. 67) ; a Lt. in the Regt. of Minute Men (G. 70); and a Capt. (" N. Y. in the Rev'n — Spt.," pp. 205, 213, 215) He signed the Association, in 1775; was Qr.

I., owing to his advanced age. His son, Zephaniah 5, was probably the one known as "Zephaniah, of Dutchess Co.;" Col. of the Ass'd Exempts ("N. Y. in the Rev'n," p. 152); Delegate to the Prov'l Cong.; Member of the Dutchess Co. Committee, the Secret Committee to defend the Highlands and the Committee to remove the Prisoners from Kingston; and 2d Judge of the County. (See Index to " Calendar &c, above ") After- ward, he removed to Plattsburgh. Probably it was his son, Zephaniah 6, who served in the 2d Dutchess (" N.

(Civil List) Midshipman Hardy, during the Revolutionary War, was afflicted with the small pox, while on board of a British man-of-war in Huntington Bay. He was taken ashore and placed in the small pox Hospital, in the Eastern part of the village of Huntington. Dr. Gilbert Potter, being an active and zealous rebel, had fled to Connecticut with others, and joined the Patriots on the main shore. He left everything in Huntington in charge of his wife, Elizabeth Williams Potter, a dau. of Nathaniel Williams, an educated and remarkable woman, who not only took charge of all of his affairs during his absence, but assumed the doctor's medical practice; and, if tradition be true, she was as good a Doctor as her husband. In the course of her medical practice, she attended the young. British Naval Officer, Midshipman Hardy, at the Hospital; and, taking a fancy to him, had him removed to her dwelling house where she doctored, nursed and attended him so faithfully that he recovered, arid returned to his ship in the Bay. At this time, her son, (afterward Judge) Nathaniel Potter, was a young man in his teens, and living at home with his mother; although he, afterward, by his father's aid, fitted out a. Privateer at Greenport; and, with a crew, captured several British prizes. . The sequel to this incident is rather novel. In the War with Great Britain, in 1812, Midshipman Hardy of the Revolu tion had risen in rank, and was a British Commodore. He had command of a British Fleet, that sailed through Long Island Sound, and at one time, anchored in Huntington Bay. No British forces landed there, but they destroyed and captured all the American vessels within reach. Capt. Nathan Conklin was sailing a fast sloop, the " Amazon," owned by Judge Potter, from Huntington to Albany, when she was captured by Com. Hardy's fleet in the Bay. On board of the " Amazon " was a nephew of Judge Potter, a young man named Henry Williams [See Dr. Gilbert Potter, abovel; or, as he was afterward more familiarly known in this village, " Uncle Harry Williams." He did not surrender very gracefully; in fact, he d d the British, their Flag and their Commodore, in no very measured terms. The consequence was that Com. Hardy put him in irons, kept him a prisoner on board of his ship, and threatened to send him to Halifax. Judge Potter, on hearing of the capture of his sloop, ransomed her and went on board of Hardy's ship to iook after young Williams. His astonishment may be imagined when he recognized Com. Hardy as the young midshipman of the Revolution, whom his mother had nursed and doctored years before in Huntington. A mutual recognition took place; and, upon learning that Henry Williams was the nephew of Judge Potter, he was at once released. The next day Hardy gave a grand dinner on his flag-ship in Huntington Bay; when Judge Potter, under a flag of truce, was dined with all the honors, and a glowing tribute to the memory of his mother, who had passed away.

Mary, dau. of William Punier; and had children, James, Thomas, William, John, Isaac, Joseph, and perhaps Jonathan. But when Moore, later on, gives the record of these sons, he uses the word :: probably " so often that doubt is cast as to James being the father. Howell (as above), writing 15 years later than Moore, makes the original James the ancestor of the Southold branch only; while he asserts that James had a brother, Thomas, who was the ancestor of the Southampton branch. Griffin (" Journal," p. 195) agrees as to the two brothers; but he is mixed as to the generations. Miss Lucy D. Akerly also thinks that James and Thomas were probably brothers. A William Reeve, aged 22, came in the " Elizabeth & Ann " 29 April, 1635, from London to New England and was of Salem, Mass., in 166S; but if, as conjectured by Savage, he was brother of John of Salem, he could not have been the William of the will, as his brother John had already sailed in the "Christian" for Boston in 1635, (aged 19) three years before the date of the will, which evidently refers to him as then still in England. Thos. Reeve, aged 24, who came in the " Mathew," 21. May, 1635, to St. Christopher's may have been the other brother. (N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec, 42. 174) REEVE— WOODRUFF— LITCHFIELD, CONN. (From " Historic Litchfield") Still later research, as shown in Whitaker's " Southold " and Craven's " Mattituck," seems to prove that Thomas was the father of the James I, of Moore; and that it was Thomas, and not James I (of Moore), who m. Mary Purrier. Also that Thomas was the father of the James 1 and the Thomas 1 , of Howell. This was also the opinion of the late Theodore M. Banta. Thomas I, m. Mary, dau. of William Purrier; d. before 1666. His chil dren were: Thomas 2, James 2, William 2, John 2, Isaac 2, Jonathan 2, Joseph 2, Mary 2 and Hannah 2.

The will mentions children: James 3, Daniel 3, Isaac 3, Thomas 3, (eldest dau.) 3; Hannah 3 and Deborah 3. (Mr. Robert M. Reevs) Howell (as above) gives Bethuel, in 4th gen. from James 2; but he does not give the intermediate ancestors of Bethuel who was probably the father of Daniel, the Refugee, below. Mrs. Ruth A. Silk states that she cannot prove Bethuel to be in the 4th gen. from James 2. She makes him Bethuel 4 (James or William, 3, 2, Thomas 1). Mrs. Silk then proceeds: He bought at North Sea, near Southampton, land in 1758; lived and d. there in 1782. He m. Mary Haines about 1752-3. His children: The eldest, Joel, b. in 1755; Daniel; Silas; Keturah; Jeremiah; Zebulon; and Bethiah. I do not know the order of birth. I know not what became of Silas, Jeremiah and Zebulon — the latter no doubt named for Zebulon Haines. The names Jeremiah and Daniel seemed, at that period, to be exclusive for the families of James 2 or William 2. It is quite, noticeable that while these brothers settled at Mattituck, all descend ants appear to be credited to James. The names Jeremiah and Daniel followed down in the families of Bethuel's sons, Joel and Daniel. Where the record has not been kept in the early Churches I cannot make it sure. Hon.

The will of his Wid., Deborah, dated Feb. 9, 1736-7, mentions sons, James and Daniel; daughters, Han nah, Deborah, Mary and Sarah; and grandson, Joshua Wells.

He was bapt. Nov. 14, 1756. (Mattituck Ch. Rec.) The name Daniel is common among the descendants of Dea. Thomas. (Rev. Charles E. Craven) There was a Daniel 4 (Hon.

Apr. 13, 1807. In June, 1775, he enlisted under Capt. Griffin; and also, from Westhampton, L. I., en listed in the same Company, Oliver Russell, of the family in which Daniel 5 later married. Daniel 5 enlisted for a short term and served in Capt. Griffin's JAMES WICKHAM REEVE MATTITUCK, L. I. (From Craven's "Mattituck") Co. in the 3d N. Y. Line, commanded by Col. James Clinton, in the Revolu tionary War. His name last appeared on a roll dated, Camp at Fort George, October 15, 1775, with remark, " On Command." His eldest son Jeremiah (my grandfather), I remember, said his father served in the Army under Col. James Clinton. Daniel 5 may have later served with the Levies. Daniel, the Refugee, was not m. He may have been Daniel 5, and may have been related to Selah, the Refugee, below. Bethuel 4 made his will naming 7 children and wife, Mary, showing the family to consist of 9 persons; and the Census of 1776 names the family of Bethuel Reeve: Males — 2, under 50 and over 16; and 3, under 16 years; and Females — 2 over, and I under, 16 — in all 8 persons, and showing Bethuel 4 to be less than 50 years old. Who was missing in 1776? Daniel 5, we have seen, was in the Army in 1775. The British occupation of L. I. made it difficult to return home, and probably he continued in the Army ; so that he may have been the Daniel drawn in the Weissenfels' Levies. Rev. Benjamin Goldsmith records the marriage of Daniel 5 Reeve, of Southampton, to Martha Russell, of Westhampton, on Feb. 14, 1782. He d. at Westhampton, and left 9 children and a second wife.

He was father of Ben jamin, above, Israel, Jr., below, Luther, below, and Rumsey, below) — From Southold to Lyme. In Sept., 1776, with eight passengers, he was moved over by Capts. William Johnson and James Webb. (C. 187) On June 19, 1778, he requested that his claim be paid to James Wells; which was done, Jan. 6, 1779. (C. 185) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 3; under 16, 1. Females — above 16, 3; under 16, 1. (A. 55) He was b. in 1730; m. June 17, 1753, Theodosia, dau. of Benjamin Case (see Case) ; d. June 6, 1813, and is buried on his farm, at Lyme, Conn. He was a Representative from that Town in the Conn. Leg islature, 1793, 1795-1797. The Salmon Rec. states that his wife d. Apr. 2, 1808; and his dau., Sarah, Aug. 8, 1798. His four sons, Benjamin, Rumsey, Israel, Jr., and Luther, were Refugees and Rev'y soldiers. (Mrs. H. A. R. C.) It is possible that Joseph was the emigrant who came over with Benj. L'Hommedieu. We may have an ancestor in Solomon Reeve, son of Joseph, who (Solomon) m., in 1724, Sarah Rumsey, dau. of Simon Rumsey. We have been unable to find the record of their children. The name, Rumsey Reeve, is found among the descendants of Bethuel; and frequently among Israel's descendants, his second son being Rumsey. Records of other Rumsey Reeve's are found. However, as Solomon Reeve and his wife Sarah d. in Southold, in 1784 and 1783, at an advanced age, it does not seem probable that Israel fled to Conn., leaving his aged parents at Southold. (Mrs. H. A. R. C.) The name Israel, in Southold, points to the Parshall family. Rumsey is another form for the family name Ramsey. Simon Ramsey, mariner, is a large landowner about 1711. . Second Theophilus Corwin m. Hannah Ramsey, after 1698. I know of no early Reeve-Corwin marri age from which Israel could spring. Israel Parshall (d. 1738) left a dau., Experience, wife of Daniel Reeve. This may be the father of Israel Reeve. Experience (Parshall) Reeve was b. before 1725, when her mother died, and was m. before 1738, when her father died. Her husband, Daniel, was perhaps Daniel, the second son of Hon. James and Deborah. . I imagine, though, that this latter Daniel went to Goshen, N. Y. At any rate, his son, Daniel, in 1762, his father being dead, lived in Goshen and deeded Mattituck land left to his father by his grandfather. (Rev. Charles E. Craven) The Salmon Rec. states that Daniel m. Experience Parshall Nov. 11, 1736. They could not have been the parents of Israel, as the latter was b. in 1730. (Mrs. H. A. R. C.) The family tradition is that Israel was French. We have always been told stories of our old French grandfather, Israel the weaver; that he was one of four, or more, brothers who came from France; that the spelling of the name was changed; it was supposed the spelling was Revee, or was pronounced as if spelled Revee; that the family was of noble birth, which was not impossible among the Huguenots. Our g. grandfather, Luther, used to be very proud of his. French blood, which he called " royal blood." He said he was one-eighth French blood, which was worth more than all the rest. The " one-eighth " which he claimed makes me look farther than his father for his French blood. As I count it, the Frenchman should be his g. grandfather. However, as our grandfather told us of his grandfather, the Frenchman, we had always supposed he was indeed the immigrant. We have so far failed to find either the parents of Israel Reeve, or record of his coming to this country. As others theorize, and do not hesitate to publish his parentage as they see it, I feel that our family tradition as to his nationality should receive as much consideration as their theories; especially the one which calls him son of Daniel and Experience who were m. six years after he was born 1 Of the year of his birth we are positive. Arnong the decendants of Bethuel we find, practically, the same traditions as our own. That of four, or more, brothers from France; the change in the spelling or pronunciation of the name; and they add that one of the brothers went South and his name is Rive or Rives. They also. have the name Rumsey in their family. . As we knew nothing of this family except an occasional rumor of a Rumsey Reeve who lived in Willoughby , O. , and had a prominent nose (as had my grand father Rumsey) the tradition has not been handed from one to the other. After 10 years of research, we have not found the ancestors of Israel; nor they, the ances tors of Bethuel. (Mrs. H. A. R. C.) REEVE ISRAEL, JR.

(H. 16) He graduated at Yale; became a preacher for a time; and then took possession of his father's farm. He was also a Magistrate, and a useful man.

(G. 8); in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 4, 7, 37, 38); and probably in Conn. (G. 97) As James, Jr., he signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 15) The James, Jr., who applied for a Pension (" N. Y. in the Rev'n," p. 273) was not this James; but James, eldest son of James who went to Orange Co., N. Y., before 1727. (Mrs. R. A. S.) Ens. James was bapt. Oct. 30, 1756; d. Mar. 4, 1830. He m.

Alice 8, Was the mother of Anna Reeve Aldrich, the gifted writer, whose untimely death at the age of 26 years occurred June 28, 1892. (H. D. R.) REEVE JOSHUA (ONE) 5 (Joshua 4, Benjamin 3, Joseph 2, Thomas 1)— From L. I. to Conn., and to Orange Co., N. Y. Moore (" Index," p. 113) names a Joshua 4 (Ens. Benjamin 3, Joseph 2, James 1 — who may have been Thomas 1), who was probably the father of the Refugee. Mr. Robert M. Reevs, g. grandson of the Refugee, states that Joshua 4 had a brother, Daniel. Mr. Reevs states, that he had always thought his g. grandfather was not the Joshua (son of Benjamin) of Moore, but a grandson of Benjamin and a son of that Joshua; that Hezekiah, son of Joseph, had a son Joshua, also; and that Joshua (b. in 1746, d. in 1812), m. in 1771-2, Hetty Howell, and, in 1786, Mrs. Abigail Huff, and had: Joshua (b. in 1772), Lydia (b. in 1775), Howell (b. in 1777), Kitsey (b. in 1787) and James (d. before Nov., 1812). Joshua 4 is not given by Howell ("Southampton," p. 359) among the sons of Bethuel. The view that Joshua 4 could not have been son of Ens. Benjamin is taken by Rev. Charles E. Craven who shows from " Deeds of Partition " (County Clerk's Office, Riverhead, Liber A. p. 35), a partition of the estate y0^t^f tflTZZ^yf™* Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Reeve — Reeve 523 of Joshua Reeve, in 1788, to Joshua Reeve, Mehitable Reeve, Mary Reeve and Joseph Reeve, minors and heirs; to Ezra Woodhull, minor; and to Jared Landon, Esq. Jared Landon m. Dec 21, 1778, Deborah Reeve (Craven's " Mattituck," p. 324); and Nathaniel Landon m. Apr. 17, 1757, Mehitable Reeve (Salmon Rec.) — both of them sisters of the decedent, Joshua. On the other hand, there is to be considered a possible ancestor in David 3 (Joseph 2, Thomas 1) who settled in Deerfield, N. J., in 1684. His son, David 4, m. Mar. I, 1716, Seruah (or " Zerriah ") Hunter (See Moore and Salmon), and had sons: David 5; Joshua 5; James 5, g. grandfather of Miss Frances S. Locke; and Benjamin 5. His son, Joshua 4, had a son, Joshua 5 (1720-1749); and a grandson, Joshua 6 (1746-1812) who might have been Joshua, (One) g. grandfather of Robert M. Reevs. (Miss F. S. L.) The line of Joshua (One) — (Joshua 4 &c), as given above, is considered -correct. He served in Capt. Griffin's Company, Suffolk Co. Militia. (R. M. 524 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut R.) During the War he removed to Orange Co., N. Y.; where his name appears in the Land Bounty Rights of the ist Regt. (G. 72) Joshua Reeve was one of the Committee of Safety and Observation in the Blooming Grove Dist. of Orange Co., N. Y. A Joshua, also signed the Asso ciation in Goshen; but this was in 1775. Joshua (One) the Refugee, was a shoemaker, and owned land on the Otterkill, between Goshen and Craigville, where were numerous industries and a mill. His first wife was related to the Howells of Blooming Grove. In 1782, he sold his share of the Land Bounty Rights, and 18 acres bes'.des. Some time after his 2d m., and the birth of his daughter Kitsey, in 1787 (Goshen Ch. Rec), he removed to Oak Orchard, passing, with other settlers, through the Great Beech Woods; and finally, bought land in the Town of Romulus, Seneca Co., N. Y.

Oct. 2, 1840, d. in the Civil War, July 24, 1862. It is possible that the Refugee was Luther 6 (Israel 5, Daniel 4, Hon. Jame3 3, James 2, Thomas 1). Another Luther, b. in 1779, d. in 1842, was too young to have been the Refugee. He was Luther 6 (Thomas 5, 4, Dea. Thomas 3, James 2, Thomas 1) — (Rev. Charles E. Craven).

On Mar. 10, 1780, it was stated that he was at school at Chelsea, Conn.; and evidently in the care of his uncle Ebenezer, above. (F. 121) He served in the 4th Line (G. 48); and in Malcom's Levies. (G. 58) At the beginning of the War he was a student at Yale. He removed to Woodbridge, N. J., and taught school. Soon afterward he joined the Army, and participated in the Battle of Monmouth. Of this period in Nathaniel's life, his son Samuel afterward wrote: " My father used to say he was very happy in the army, although he was nearly barefoot half the time. Father never thought of applying for a pension, and could not have gotten one if he had, as no care was taken to preserve any papers, discharge, etc. He always regarded it as a romantic episode of his youthful life, and was happy and thankful he had been permitted to render a little service to his country." After the War he re-entered Yale, studied Medicine and Theology, and was licensed to preach, Nov. 9, 1791. He removed to Bedford Co., Va., and became a Medicial Missionary. On Nov. 10, 1795, he m. Miriam Erwin, of Va. He returned to L. I.; and, on Sept. 19 1804, was ordained to the Ministry, and installed as Pastor of the Church at Westhampton.

He moved over with his wife, three sons and two daughters, and his stock — as appears in his petition, Apr. 20, 1780, to be allowed to return with his family and effects. The petition was negatived, although Capt. Reeve had the recommendation of the Authorities of Say brook and the personal tribute of Rev. John Devotion. (E. 88-90) On Nov. 23, 1780, and on June 9, 1781, he was permitted to remove, with his family and furniture, to L. I. and to return at his convenience. (F. 30, 31, 40, 41) Previous to this, on June 12, 1777, he petitioned for leave to go to L. I. for Provisions. (A. 43) It is probable that he was the Paul who signed the Association, from Brookhaven, in 1775 (H. 20); although there is said to have been another Paul who, later, removed to Newark, N. Y. The Refugee, Capt. Paul, served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 4, 6, 20); and the (ft Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Reeve — Reeve 527 Muster Roll of his Co. is preserved.

Also Mr. Charles Cafferty) Nathaniel 3 has many descendants along the Hudson River, and in the Counties of Cortland and Tompkins, in the State of N. Y. Hon. Alfred Seelye Roe thinks that the Roes of Brookhaven and Flushing, L. I., belong to the same line. Mr. Charles Cafferty states that David was in Flushing, in 1660; and that he may have been a brother of John, of Drowned Meadows. William, came from Eng. to New London, Conn., about 1720.

(Mr. Charles Cafferty) It is stated, in a local diary, that in 1782, he and Wright Thorneycraft arrived at Oak Neck under a Flag; so I presume Thorneycraft, who had been Serjt. of the Mosquito Cove Militia Co., had likewise been hunted away. (Mr. George W. Cocks) He was a cordwainer, and lived in Lattingtown, in Oyster Bay. He ren dered substantial service to the American cause during the Revolution. He was informed against; and was obliged to flee for his life, going to Stamford, Conn. In 1782, he was taken a Prisoner, but was afterward released. On Feb. 10, 1791, he bought land on the North Fork of the Licking Riv., in Mason Co., Ky. It is probable that he lived in Md. or Va., a few years before he settled in Ky.

It has been stated that she was the step-mother of Hon. Thomas Corwin, of Ohio; but this is probably a mistake. (C. A. T.) ROGERS — It seems to be authenticated that the members of this Family on L. I. descend from John Rogers, the Martyr. He had a son, Noah, of Exeter, Eng. ; a grandson, John, of Dedham, Eng. ; and a g. grandson, Thomas, who came over in the " Mayflower." Tne latter was the father of William 1 , the progenitor on L. I. (Mrs. Metta Horton Cook) There is no proof that William 1, of L. I., was a son of Thomas of the " Mayflower." (Miss Lucy D. Akerly) Many people have tried to prove the truth of this assertion, but I think without success. I believe the record is that Thomas Rogers came over in the " Mayflower," bringing his son Joseph with him; and other children came afterward. I believe that no one has been able to prove that William 1, the progenitor of the L. I. Family, was one of those others. I also believe that the ancestry of Thomas of the " Mayflower " has never been authentically traced back to John the Martyr. (Miss Emily A. Lee) Another line is given: John, the Martyr; Noah, of Exeter, Eng.; John, of Durham, Eng.; Josiah, who came to America with his brother Nathaniel; Isaiah; Thomas; Josiah; William; William. This is the direct line of the L. I. branch of the Rogers Family. Thomas, the ancestor of the line in the Susquehanna valley, was a brother of Dominie William Rogers, mentioned in the Sullivan Expedition. Thomas had five children: Solomon; Rachel, who m.

Phineas, and his sister Amelia Hart, came to the Susquehanna Valley about 1817. Phineas was the father of a very large family, and many of his descendants now reside in that vicinity. Among them is Hawley B. Rogers, of Waverly, N. Y. (Mr. Charles L. Albertson) Dominie William Rogers was b. at Newport, R. I., July 22, 1751; d. Apr. 7, 1824. He was Brig. Chaplain in the Penn. Line, 1776-1781; and Prof. in the University of Penn., 1792-1812. His "Journal," June 15-Aug. 29, 1779, was first published in " R. I. Hist'l Tracts;" and reprinted in " Gen. John Sullivan's Indian Expedition, of 1779." It has been claimed that the Dominie was called so because he was a teacher; and that he might not have been a Minister. If so, he may have been one of the several Williams, named below. The Thomas, mentioned above, was half-brother of William who is men tioned in the Sullivan Expedition; but not of the " Dominie William " who was born at Newport, R. I. See note on Qr. Mr. Serjt.

(See note, below, by Samuel Orlando Lee) After that William I disappears; but his eldest son, Obadiah 2, resided in the homestead of William 1 ; and, apparently, remained in Southampton. It is possible that, about 1655, William I gave the homestead to Obadiah 2, and removed with his wife, Ann, and younger children to Huntington. His Wid. made a will in Huntington, in 1669. The sons, Noah 2 and John 2, removed to Branford, Conn.; and Branford Recs. show that they received a large inheritance from their father. John 2 left no issue.

(Saybrook, Conn., Ch. Rec.) A Sarah Scott, with Thomas Fenn, was admx. of the estate of Gershom Scott, Jr., of Waterbury, in Jan., 1779. (Records of the State of Conn., 2. 199) It is not probable that she claimed descent from the ubiquitous Capt. John Scott who lived at Ashford (now Setauket) the century before. (Moore's " Index," p. 36. Also Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 320-323) She may have been a dau. of Capt.

Clinton, in 1778, as " a brave and honest man," the Capt. of an armed boat on L. I. Sound. (Clinton Pap., as above) Complaint against him was made by Dr. Benjamin Anthony, the Refugee. (Page 258.

Robert 1 who came over with Gov. Winthrop, about 1630. He went to Conn.; and was at Hunt ington, L. I., in 1662. He was in the Indian War in New England, in 1675; and is said to have m. Mary, sister of Capt. John Manning. His son, Nathaniel 2, of New Haven, m. Mary Turney, in 1646. He was killed in the War with the Narragansetts. John 3, son of Nathaniel 2, d. at New Milford, Conn., in 1740. His son, Benjamin 4, from Fairfield Co., Conn., was one of the early patentees of Northern N. Y. — as appears on a parch ment indenture owned by Mr. Roe. Nathaniel 2 had a son, Lt. Nathaniel 3. The line then continues: James 4; Nathan 5; Seth 6; Samuel 7; Seth 8; William 9. The latter had: Frank Earle 10, and other children. (Mr Frank Earle Seeley) SEELYE NEHEMIAH 5, CAPT. (Benjamin 4, John 3, Nathaniel 2, Capt. Robert 1) — From Queensbury, Charlotte (now Warren) Co., N. Y., to New Fairfield, Conn., about July 15, 1777. He removed on account of the raids by Burgoyne's Army. On Oct. 12, 1779, he petitioned the Gen. Ass'y of Conn, for the same pay and allowance that he had in the service in the State of N. Y. He stated his service in Conn, and was recommended to the favor of the Ass'y. (E. 23, 24) Previously, he had served in the Charlotte Co. Militia. (" N. Y. in the Rev'n," p. 133. Also " Archives of the State of New York — the Rev'n," pp. 275, 276) On May 19, 1779, he appeared before the Albany County Comm'rs of Conspiracies, and accused Duncan McConelly of having spoken disrespectfully of the Cong, of the U. S. ; and his testimony was confirmed. (Minutes of the Comm'rs, pp. 344. 345. 348) It may be that the accused was Duncan McCallum, the Refugee. (See McCallum) Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Seaman — Sheffield 559 Capt. Nehemiah Seelye, my ancestor, was an Officer in the last French War, as well as in the Revolution. He was one of the original patentees of the Town of Queensbury, in which I am residing. He was a Town officer there continuously; except in 1777, when he was driven out by Burgoyne's Army. His ancestors probably came from Dutchess Co., N. Y.; and origi nally from Conn. (Mr. Elwyn Seelye) Capt. Nehemiah also had a son David 6, who served in the 16th Albany. (" N. Y. in the Rev'n," p. 132; also " Archives of the State of N. Y— The Rev'n," p. 545) The "Archives" also state that he was ordered out to Skensborough (now Whitehall, N.

Nehemiah was bapt. at New Milford, Conn., Sept. 18, 1743; d. at Kingsbury, Charlotte (now Washington) Co., N. Y., June 17, 1802. His farm lay on Burgoyne's route from Canada; and traces of the corduroy road, built by him across the farm, are still visible. His home was destroyed by the enemy; and with it, all family records, in cluding the Bible. He was a bridge-builder by occupation, along with his farming; and it is said that he lost his life in connection with the building of a bridge. This statement is derived from family tradition. The wife of Capt. Nehemiah was Mary Hopkins, who d. at Kingsbury, in 1834, aged 84. He had a son, Joseph 6, b. at Kingsbury, in 1776; d. at Rose, Wayne Co., N. Y., in 1854. Col. George 7, son of Joseph 6, b. in Chenango Co., N.Y.,in 1806; d.in 1885. Col. George 7 had a dau., Polly Catharine 8, b. at Rose, N. Y., in 1827; m. Rev. Austin M. Roe (See Roe); d. June 16, 1908. Her son is Hon. Alfred Seeyle 9 Roe. SERVICE JEFFRY JAMES— From L. I. to Conn.

Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Sheffield — Sherrill 561 Dwight, of Boston, a grandson of Rev. Edwin Welles Dwight and a g. grandson of Henry Sherrill — ¦ . The advent of the Sherrill family into Richmond came through the mother of Henry Sher rill, Jane Conkling, of whom it is said that during the Revolutionary war, the British attempted to search her house at East Hampton, Long Island, but the spirited old lady, then a widow, seized a fire shovel which lay on the hearth, and bade the red coated soldiers to cross her thres hold at their peril. The old lady's pluck gained her her point, and the house was not searched. By reason of her sympathy with the American cause she thought East Hampton no fit place to live, as it was then under British control, so in 1782 or 1783, she, together with her two sons, (Henry and Samuel) imigrated to Richmond. Henry Sherrill kept the country store in the old house at the junction of the Canaan and State roads. It was perhaps one of the largest in the country, and strange as it may seem now, Richmond in those days was of as great importance as a business centre as was Pittsfield. In the " Minister's Tax List " of 1800, Henry Shernll is given as the second largest con tributor to the support of the gospel, religion being at that time a subject of taxation. He erected the splendid house, now the home of Mr. Huntington, and sometimes called " Kenmore." My grandfather came to Richmond in the year 1819. Three years afterward he m. Mary Sherrill, dau. of Henry Sherrill and Lois Chitsey. They lived in the house now occupied by Mrs. March and called " Goodwood," where all his children, including my father, the oldest child, were born. This house was presented to the bride by her father at the time of their marriage. The only children of my grandparents now living are Mrs. Henry M. Field of Stockbridge and Mrs. Alexander D. Napier of Brooklyn. SHERRILL JEREMIAH 4 (Either Jeremiah 3, or Jacob 3, Recompence 2, Samuel 1) — From East Hampton to Haddam. In Sept., 1776, with two passengers and goods, he was brought over by Capt. Benjamin King, Jr. (C. 141) He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 28) He served in the 3d Line. (G. 46) He enlisted March, 1775, in Capt. John Hulburt's Co. of Col. Henry B. Livingston's Regt. of N. Y. Troops. When his time expired he re-enlisted in the same Regt., but at this time in Capt. John Davis' Co. In Oct. , 1 832 , he was awarded a pension for gallant services during the Revolu tion. (Sherrill Gen.) Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 1; under 16, 1. Females — above 16, 1; under 16, 1. (A. 52) There is doubt as to which of the two Jeremiahs was the Refugee. Jeremiah 4, son of Jeremiah 3, bapt. Dec. 10, 1750; m.

(Recompence 3, 2, Samuel 1; brother of Sarah, below) — From East Hampton to Chester. He was brought over, in Sept., 1776, by Capt. Elijah Mason. (C. 98) As Capt. of a ship, in Oct., 1776, he brought a part of Abraham Miller's goods to Hartford. (Page 239. Also C. 100) His father, Recompence 3, appears in the Census of 1776: Males — above 50 years, 1; above 16, 2. Females — above 16, 2. (A. 52) He may have been the one who signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 28) It is certain that Capt. Recompence was again living at East Hampton, in 1787. (Onder donk's " Scrap Book " — 1866, p. 26) 36 562 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Capt. Recompence had a son David, who had a son Hiram, who had sons Hiram and David, now living at East Hampton. While David knows nothing about any of the family having been Refugees, he has recently informed me that he recollects hearing his grandfather (David) say that when he was a small boy he went to Hartford in a vessel, with his father (Recompence) after the battle of Long Island. As he (David) was born in 1773, he must have been very young, and probably went over with his father, at the time he took some Refugees over. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) What the small boy saw, and remarked upon, is of importance in this inquiry; for the voyage to Hartford must have been the one noted above (C. 100); while the other voyage (C. 98) seems to prove that Capt. Recompence was himself a Refugee. On the other hand, his g. grandson Mr. Hiram Sherrill thinks that Capt. Recompence was not a Refugee: At the time the British were in East Hampton, he was arrested for giving food to a soldier. He was immediately discharged. This he told my mother, who told me. It also shows that he was residing in East Hampton at the time, probably with his family. Judging from the character of the man, as represented to me by my mother, it would take something more than a British soldier to cause him to abandon his home. He was a large hearted, generous and liberal man. He was one of the largest contributors to the building fund of Clinton Acade my, in 1784. He was b. May 11, 1741; m. Sept. 22, 1768, Naomi Burnham; d. June 7, 1839. His children were: Naomi 5, b. Aug. 14, 1769, m. Jesse Hedges; Seth 5, b. Jan. 6, 1771, removed to Swanton, Vt.; David 5, below; Nathaniel 5, b.

(H. 18, 25) A private of the name, from Brookhaven, served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 35); and the Military record given to Lt. John, below, may have belonged to Gen. John. It is probable that he was not a Refugee. In 1780, the enemy had taken possession of his house; and had erected thereabout a stockaded fort, known as Fort St. George. Gen. Smith appealed to Maj. Tallmadge to dislodge the enemy; which Tallmadge did by one of his celebrated Raids, on Nov. 11. (Pages 232-234) The house is described in Col. William 1 , Page 566. He was a Member of the N. Y.

I., con tained a man of this name (G. 10); and many of the name served in Conn. (G. 98) The name appeared in the ist, 2d, 4th, 5th and Art'y of the Line. (G. 43, 44, 48, 49, 51) Those who thus served, outside of L. I., may have been two or more, of the following : Joseph, of Queens Co. He signed the Association, in 1776 (H. 6); wherein it is stated that he belonged to Capt. Stephen Thome's Co. He was in the one-fourth part of Capt. Philip Valentine's Co., drafted, July 25, 1776.

(H. 29) He served in the Huntington Co., Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 34) He, instead of the Joseph next above, may have served in the Smithtown and Huntington Co., same Regt. (G. 32) Joseph, not identified as to residence, served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 7) A Joseph, was in the Privateer service. (Page 218) A Joseph, " Late of Huntington, L. I.," m.

Rec) SMITH JOSHUA 4 (Daniel 3,2, Maj. Richard 1— Bull)— From Brook haven to Middletown, where he was on Apr. 27, 1780. (F. 124) No Military service, under this name, appears on L. I.; but there was considerable from the vicinity of Middletown, Conn. (G. 98) Men of this name served in the 2d, 6th and Minute Men of Dutchess (G. 64, 68, 70); and in the 4th Westchester. (G. 80) As Abner, the Refugee above, also served in several of these Regts. along with Joshua, it is possible that they were related. Abner being from Smith- town, it is probable that the crediting of Joshua to Brookhaven was a mistake; and that he should have been credited to Smithtown. This theory is con firmed by the fact that no Joshua appears among the Associators, or in the Census, of Brookhaven; while both of these items appear as to Joshua, of Smithtown. Assuming, then, that he was from Smithtown, he signed the Association, in T775. (H. 32) Smithtown Census of 1776: Males — above 16 years, 1; under 16, 2. Females — above 16, 1; under 16, 2.

(F. no) His papers were in my father's house when I was a boy; and they showed that his place was overrun by the British and Tory marauders, and he and his family went to Conn. (Mr. Robert S. Pelletreau) He was on the Committee of Moriches to raise the ist Regt., in 1775. (G. 1) On Feb. 20, 1776, he was appointed Col. of a Regiment of Minute Men; and, on July 20, he was appointed Col. of Troops to be raised by draft on Nassau (Long) Island. (Jour. Prov'l Cong. Also A. 4) Parts of three Regts. were merged into his Regt. (Pages 88-90) His activity before the Battle of L. I., Aug. 27, 1776, is shown in his Diary, July 23-Sept. 7, 1776. (G. 39. Also A. 1, 5) He was efficient during the Battle. (Pages 40-42. Also H. 36) Nor was he less active after the Battle. (A. n, 13, 14, 23) On Aug. 28, he was ordered to help Gen. Woodhull destroy the grain and thi stock. (Page 30. Also A. n, 12) On Aug. 29, he wrote to the Prov'l Cong. that he had orders to march his Regt. to N. Y. City; but the Regt. was scat tered. On Sept. 3, the N. Y. Committee of Safety ordered Gen. George Clin ton to detain as many as possible of the Regt.; but, on Sept. 18, Gen. Clinton reported that none of the men had joined him. On Sept. 6, Lt. Col. Benja- Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Smith ¦ — Smith 573 min Birdsall wrote to the Prov'l Cong, that Col. Smith had not discharged any of his men because he hoped to make a stand on the E. end of L. I. ; and that his men awaited further orders. (Page 173) On Oct. 5, the N. Y. Prov'l Convention had already ordered Col. Smith's Regt. to join Gen. Clinton at Kings Bridge; but only a few had reported, as Col. Smith was on L. I., and his men were dispersed. _ Gen. Clinton then ordered Col. Henry B. Livingston to gather all such men into his detachment, and to rendezvous at New Haven, Conn. (Pages 90, 174) On Nov. 8, the N. Y. Committee of Safety provided pay for those of Col. Smith's Regt. who were outside the territory possessed by the enemy. (Pages 90, 174. Also A. 19) On Jan. 22, 1777, the same Committee authorized Oaths for those on the pay rolls of the Regt. (Page 90) Many men of his Regt. joined the 3d and 4th of the Line. (G. 45-48) The complete Muster Rolls of his Regt. will be found in Ap. G. 4-6, 1 1-38. He was taken from his house, at Moriches, and put in the Provost Prison, in N. Y. City. An interesting incident is told in the biography of Rev. Joshua Hartt.

Also A. 50, 51); and also Chairman of the Com mittee to form the ist Regt., Oct. 24, 1775. (G. 1) As Chairman of the Co. Committee, on Aug. 22, 1775, he wrote to the Prov'l Cong, that his Committee had met for the purpose of .protecting the stock on Gardiner's Island and Plum Island; that the Ministerial Fleet had threatened to take the stock from L. I. ; and that great danger to property would follow if Gen. Wooster's Troops were taken away. (Page 28. Also proceedings Prov'l Cong. Also Thompson's " Long Island," 1. 197) In Jan., 1776, also as Chairman, he certified to the organization of an Art'y Company in Col. Smith's Regt. (Page 90. Also G. 4) On May 15, he wrote to the Prov'l Cong, that the Tories supplied the British ships with water and provisions. (Jour. Prov'l Cong.) On Aug. 27, 1776, he was appointed on a Committee of the Cong. to sell the cattle on L. I. and Shelter Island. (A. 10) He was a witness to the signing of the Associations, in 1775. (H. 26) During the War he was a frequent, and valued, correspondent of Gov. Clinton. (Clinton Pap.) While a Delegate to the 4th Prov'l Cong., or Convention, on May 3, 1777, he was elected to the Council of Safety; but he was excused on the ground that his family would be annoyed, and his estate confiscated, if he served. (Jour. Prov'l Cong.) Onderdonk, in one of his " Scrap Books," states that Judge Smith was at Lloyd's Neck; but had left just before Maj. Tallmadge attacked it. He was a Delegate to the 3d and 4th Prov'l Congresses — 1776-7 (A. 58, 59); Senator, in the N. Y. State Legislature, from the Southern Dist., 1777-1783 (B. 43-48); and Treas'r of Suffolk Co. 1802-1803. (Civil List) He was also County Judge and County Clerk for several years. Judge William was not a Refugee. During the War, what time he was not at his home he spent at Esopus, or Kingston, with his friend Judge Zephaniah Piatt; whose daughter, Hannah, was the second wife of his son Gen. John Smith. Tradition states that Judge William had 100 slaves, and that there was work enough for all on his great estate. It was his custom to plant an orchard in the corner of every lot, as soon as it was cleared. He kept a large quan tity of land under cultivation. His surplus stock was sold. We have his account books; which give interesting information as to the prices of grain, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry and eggs — the latter, 3d. a dozen. (Miss Martha T.

SQUIRE — Howell (" Southampton," pp. 387, 388) mentions a John 1 Squires who was quite early in East Hampton; who «n. Anna, dau. of William 1 Edwards. He assumes that George 2, m. Jane Edwards, was son of John 1. On this theory he gives, among others, these children to George 2: Recompence 3, m. Elizabeth Parsons, and had John 4, bapt. in 1739; John 3, whose son John 4, bapt. in 1715, and another John, bapt. in 1739; Thomas 3, bapt. in 1705, m. May 26, 1726, Rachel Ludlam, and removed to Elizabethtown, N.'J. Hedges (" East Hampton," p. 335) out lines Howell, as above. Another origin of the Family is advanced by Dr. Charles L. Squire, of Elmira, N. Y., who is preparing a Gen. He states that George, who d. at Fairfield, Conn., in 1691, speaks .of his grandson, the above George 2, in his will, (John 1) " as for four years formerly, very weakly; agueally; very much more troublesome and chargable than otherwise he might have been to me, yet etc." Thomas 3, above, was a son of George 2 who m. Jane, a niece of Ann Edwards, in 1701. He also states that Thomas 3 d. Feb. 14, 1778; m. Rachel Ludlum, who was b. about 1700. Her line was Henry 3, Henry 2, William 1. (See Ludlum) Dr. Squire then proceeds: She was without doubt a grand dau. of the Dept. Gov. of Conn. Colony, in 1635, and compiler of the first Conn. Code, which was republished in Cambridge, in 1692. Lud low being of the same name as the Regicide, and having some enemies in Conn., he was forced to leave Fairfield, removing with his family to Virginia and the family name changed to Ludlum. They afterward resided near E. Hampton, L. I., as early as 1660. In his Pedigree Chart, Dr. Squire makes George, of Concord, Mass., and John, of Cambridge, Mass., the emigrant ancestors. George was b. in 1618; and had sons : George 1 ; Philip 1 ; and Serjt. Thomas 1 . George 1 , of Fairfield, Conn., b. about 1640; m. Ellen ; d. Aug. 9, 1691. His son, John 2, of East Hampton, L. I., b. about 1660, m. Ann Edwards. John 2 had a son, George 3, of East Hampton, b. about 1680; m. Jane Edwards. George 3 had: Recompence 4, of East Hampton, b. about 1705, m. Elizabeth Parsons; and Thomas 4, also of East Hampton, b. about 1705, m. Rachel Ludlum. Serjt. Thomas 1, b. in 1643, d. in 1712, had a son, Thomas, Jr., 2; and a grandson, David 3, the father of David, Jr., 4, below. John 2, of East Hampton, L. I. (John 1, of Cambridge), was the ancestor of the L. I. branch. He was b. about 1659; m. Harriet Baker; d. before 1708. He had a son, John 3,pf East Hampton, b. about 1694; a grandson, John 4, of East Hamp ton, b. about 1715, d. in 1758, and was father of John 5, of Sag Harbor, hus band of Mrs. Margery Squire, below. Jonathan 5, brother of John. 5, signed the Association, in 1775 (H. 28); but John 5 did not. It is probable .that John 5 belonged in Squire Town, six miles from Southampton village. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) SQUIRE DAVID, JR., 4 (David 3, Thomas 2, Serjt. Thomas 1)— His name appears among the Refugees in the General Accounts of the Auditors (C. 4, No. 122) ; but there is no itemized claim.

He removed to Oyster Bay; and d. about 1668. His son, John 2, had a son, James 3, whose son, Samuel 4, was b. in 1717, m. Sarah, dau. of .William Stoddard. Samuel 4, had large shipping interests at Oyster Bay. (Thompson's " Long Island," 2. 343-353) I believe no record has yet been found showing date and place of the first appearance of the three brothers, John, Henry and Richard Townsend in America. The " Memorial of Townsend Brothers," (p. 84 et seq.) shows that although John was in Flushing in 1645 he had been previously in the use and occupation of certain land at the " Fresh Water," Manhattan, for divers years; but, on account of the troubles with the Indians, was obliged to abandon it, and some time during the term of Gov. Andros petitioned for reclaim. This occupancy must have been in Kieft's or Stuyvesant's time. John Townsend's son, Thomas, was bapt. in the Dutch Church in 1642; but that does not locate his (then) local habitation. John Townsend m., as per " Townsend Memorial," Elizabeth Montgomery, ancestry undeter mined. Robert Coles did not have any dau., Elizabeth. John 1, had des cendants: Son John 2; James 3; Jacob 4, whose son, Samuel 5, b. in 1717, m. Sarah, dau. of William and Mary (Hicks) Stoddard. Samuel 5 had large shipping interests at Oyster Bay. (Mr. George W. Cocks) John Townsend m. Jean Reddough, or Reddock, and had: Daniel 2, m. Freelove Dickinson; and. John 2, b. in 1712, removed in 1738, to East Chester, Westchester Co., N.

He was a Friend ; but, his wife being an Episcopalian, he was disowned "yTucrms** ^W^f 604 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut by the Meeting. He continued a Friend in principle ; but contributed to the building of the Episcopal Church, in East Chester. He was a large man, being full six feet two, with a form in proportion. He had a double row of teeth all around. He d. in 1787, and was buried in the graveyard belonging to St. Pauls Church, East Chester. Issue: Freelove, John, James, Elijah, Daniel, Mary, Margaret and Martha. John joined the American Army of the Revolution; and, afterward, settled in Herkimer, in which County and Montgomery we have been told his descendants still reside. James went on board an armed vessel, and was never heard of afterward. (" Townsend Memorial," p. 137) Henry Townsend I, second of the three brothers, m.

He was b. at Oyster Bay, in 1746. In his twentieth year he commanded a brig belonging to his father, Captain Samuel; was also commissioned by Dr. Franklin as a vol unteer midshipman in the Cont'l Navy, and for this purpose he procured his necessary equipments in Paris. Being unable to visit his family at Oyster Bay, he went to the home of his cousin, Peter Townsend, at Chester. Peter Townsend was the proprietor of the celebrated Iron Works and estate of Stirling, a few miles from Chester. Steel was first made by him at the Stirling Works, and in the German manner, in 1776. He also made the first anchor manufactured in the State of New York, in 1773; and, at Stirling, was con structed, in Mar. and Apr., 1778, the immense chain which extended across the Hudson River to. prevent the British ships from passing above West Point. The links of the chain weighed about 140 pounds each; and the whole, 160 tons. The chain was made and delivered in six weeks. (Pages 76, 77) Captain Solomon Townsend, at the outbreak of the Revolution, found himself with his ship in Europe, unable to return to America. He sold his ship and obtained from Benjamin Franklin, our Minister in Paris, a commission as volunteer midshipman, and thus returned to the United States on a man-of-war. (Mr. Howard Townsend) After an absence of seven years, Captain Townsend was enabled, by pre concert, to meet some of his family upon Shelter Island; but they soon separated under the apprehension they might never meet again. _ Returning to Chester, he m. Anne, eldest dau. of the said Peter, whom, in 1783, he brought with him to Oyster Bay, where the different members of his family were again assembled under his roof. He continued, nevertheless, to reside in N. Y. City, where he owned and superintended an extensive iron store. He also established a factory of bar iron on the Peconic River near Riverhead, L. I.

(Mr. James Wickham) WICKHAM JOHN 3 (Col. Joseph 2, Joseph 1; brother of Capt. Thomas, below) — From East Hampton to Stonington. On Dec. 8, 1776, he paid Capt. Peleg Pendleton for bringing freight from Sag Harbor to Stonington. (C. 9) See Parnel, below. He signed the Association, in 1775. (H. 15) WICKHAM PARNEL 4 (Maj. Parker 3, Col. Joseph 2, Joseph 1)— From Southold. While other evidence that she was a Refugee is lacking; yet she may have been one, as she complained to the Conn. Authorities that she had been robbed of a sorrel mare by Capt. Jesse Leavenworth. The Authori ties, thereupon, advised the Capt. to settle for the mare. (D. 12) She was b. about 1757; m.

His family, my brother and myself are the only male descendants of John 3 and his wife, Hannah Fanning, bearing the name of Wickham. (Mr. James Wickham) WICKHAM THOMAS 3, CAPT. (Col. Joseph 2, Joseph 1; brother of John, above) — From East Hampton to Stonington. On Sept. 7, 1776, with 1 1 passengers, stock, grain and leather, he was brought over by Capts. William Warner, William Card, Samuel Beebe, Hubbard Latham, Thomas Robinson and Amos Pendleton. (C. 9) As a Refugee, and in company with the Refugees Thomas Dering and John Foster, he was, on Dec. 31, 1 776, appointed by the Committee of Safety an Auditor of the claims of all the Refugees (A. 21); and reports were made thereon, Mar. 17 and Aug. 7, 1777. (Pages 189, 190, 192. Also A. 37, 45) Appendix C. contains the claims in full. The lack of his signature, in many of the certificates, was owing to his absence at sea. For a description of this work, see Thomas Dering, Pages 329, 330. He was on the Committee of East Hampton, in 1774. (H. 1) He was in charge of Gardiner's Island and the stock thereon. (Jour. Prov'l Cong., Aug. 9, 1775) He was a Delegate to the 1st, 2d and 3d Prov'l Congresses, 1775-6 (Page 130. Also A. 56-58); and a Member of the N. Y. Ass'y, in 1791. (Civil List) While a Member of the Prov'l Cong., July 22, 1775, he produced a certificate from John Chatfield, of East Hampton, showing that every male inhabitant of the Town, including himself, capable of bearing arms, had joined an Association for resisting the measures of Great Britain. (Page 142. Also H. 28) Previous to this, he had acknowledged the receipt of Warrants issued by the Prov'l Cong., on June 29, to nine Capts. and Lts. in the L. I. Militia. (G. 1) On June 28, 1776, the Prov'l Cong, appointed him one of a Committee to confer with Gen. Washington as to the removal or protection of the stock on Nassau and Staten Islands. (A. 2) After the Battle of L. I., and his removal to Stonington, he made that place his headquarters as Capt. of a Privateer, a sloop of eight guns, with which he took several prizes. (Page 217) At one time, together with Capt. John Grinnell and Maj. John Davis, he attempted to surprise the enemy at Sag Harbor. The boats were driven on shore; but Capt. Wickham brought them off before the enemy could fire them. (Page 217) One of his relics was a weight at his front gate made from grape shots fired by the British in their attack on Stonington. Census of 1776: Males — above 50 years, 1; above 16, 1; under 16, 3. Females — above 16, 1; under 16, 2. (A. 52) He was b. Jan. 13, 1733. His dau., Sarah 4, m. Judge John P. Osborn, of Noyack. (Hon. Henry P. Hedges) It is probable that he d. at East Hampton; but the Ch. Recs. do not mention it. He has no descendants in the Town. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) He was not the Capt. Thomas who d. at Mattituck, in 1846. (Griffin's *' Journal," p. 223) The above as to the ancestry of Capt. Thomas 3 differs from our Family Record — which says that Thomas 3 was a. graduate of Yale, a physician; and that he removed to Orange Co., N. Y., where others of the Family had settled. He may have had descendants; but this has not been proved. Might not Capt. Thomas 3 have been the son of a brother of Col. Joseph 2 ; and thus cotemporary with our Thomas 3? (Mr. James Wickham) It is probable that Capt. Thomas 3 and Dr. Thomas 3 were cousins. The citation from the N. Y. Gen'l and Biog'l Rec. seems to give the ancestry of r__ _ Capt. Thomas 3 as indicated, above. As /fs^tM at (Viy /¦ fl the date of birth, given in the Rec, does jrKTPrUW FVbCfo'fUXeWV not agree with the Census, two of the name, Thomas, may be involved. WIGGINS — The first of the name, in Southold, was John 1, b. in 1641; m. Hannah Rider. He came to R. I. from Eng., in 1656. He is on the Records of Southold down to 1686.

He served in the French and Indian War, in 1754; also as a Maj. under Abercrombie at Crown Point and Ticonderoga. He took a prominent part J$$e. ts* >J)&af^ Refugees Long Island to Connecticut — Woodhull — Woodhull 643 in the capture of Fort Frontenac, in June, 1758; and was Col. in the 3d Regt. of N. Y. Provincials, under Amherst, in the campaign against Montreal. On June 29, 1775, he received the warrants for certain officers of the Militia (G. 1) ; and in June, July and August, of the same year, he received lists of the signers of the Association, in Brookhaven. (H. 20) He was a Brig. Gen. in Suffolk Co., in 1755; having been unanimously elected such at a meeting of the several Committees of Huntington, Smithtown, Brookhaven, Manor of St. George and Patentship of Moriches. The meeting was held at Smithtown, on Sept. 7. (G. 1) In the Colonial Ass'y he represented Suffolk Co. He was a Delegate, from that Co., to all four of the Prov'l Congresses, 1775-6. He was President pro tem., of the ist Cong.; President of the 2d and 3d Congresses; and one of ^ SleUyTe TABLET TO THE MEMORY OF BRIG.-GEN. NATHANIEL WOODHULL — HOLLIS, (Furnished by the Sons of the Revolution in the State of N. Y.) the Presidents of the 4th Cong., or Convention. (Page 130. Also A. 56- 59. Also Civil List) His autograph, as President, is on Page 130. It has never been explained why a man of his Military and Civil promi nence was not given an important command during the events that preceded the Battle of L. I. Instead of that, he was assigned to the duty of driving the cattle out of the reach of the enemy. However undignified he might have considered this duty, he did it as effectively as possible with the small number of Troops assigned to him. His activities in this line are described on pages 29, 30, 41, 42, 48; and also in Ap. A., I, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-12. The later references, above, show that the Convention, on Aug. 28, 1776, had ordered reinforce ments to be sent to him. But it was too late; for he was captured on that 644 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut date, the day after the Battle of L. I. (Pages 173, 174) While he was await ing orders from Gen. Washington, at the Inn of Lt. Increase Carpenter (See Page 288), about two miles East of the present R. R. station at Jamaica, he was surprised by about 700 of the enemy, under Sir William Erskine. Commanded to say " God save the King," he said " God save us all." He would have been killed on the spot had not Capt. Oliver DeLancey inter vened. Being badly wounded, he was taken to the Prison in the Church at New Utrecht. Thence, in turn, he was removed to the Prison Ships " Pacific " and " Mentor; " and, finally, to the house opposite the octagonal Church, known as De Sille house, at New Utrecht. Amputation of his wounded arm was followed by his death, on Sept. 20. (Pages 288, 642. Also Wood's " First Settlements on L. I.," pp. 121-135. Also Lossing's " Field Book," 2. 605) His record, in a more enduring form, may be found in Luther R. Marsh's " Gen. Woodhull and His Monuments." The locality of the capture is known as Hollis, today. On May 23, 1912, there was presented to the City of New York by the Sons of the Revolution a bronze tablet to the memory of Gen. Woodhull, who was wounded near the spot where the tablet had been erected. The tablet (Page 643) shows Gen. Wood- hull standing beside his horse, his sword in his right hand.

He occupied a place on what is now the West side of South St., in Oyster Bay Village, on which spot Richard Holbrook erected the first house in the Village, which was built in 1670. John Youngs was a staunch Whig; and, after the British took possession of L. I., he left Oyster Bay, by order of General Delancey, and went to Stamford, Conn. Application was made to his relatives at Oyster Bay to intercede for his return; and Captain Daniel Youngs, of Oyster Bay, who was a Captain in the Royal Militia, and a kinsman of John Youngs, sent his friend Thomas Smith, of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for Queens County, to see General Delancey about allowing John to return to L. I. On March 5, 1782, Thomas Smith wrote to Captain Daniel Youngs as follows: SIR: When I was last at New York I waited on General Delancey, in behalf of John Youngs and his wife. From him I waited on the Governor likewise in their behalf. The Governor said he knew nothing about them. I soon found the matter, in my opinion, would be referred to General Delancey, as he sent them off, and now had the command of Long Island. I went back to General Delancey again and he, in a good humored way, swore at me and damned me for plagueing him so much in behalf of Youngs and his wife, and then told me he cared nothing about them, and I might, if I desired it, let them come back to Oyster Bay, and if John Youngs behaved himself quietly and peaceably no notice shall be taken of it. I, yesterday, acquainted Colonel Upham of it, so you may go and acquaint John Youngs' daughter that her father and mother may, if they choose it, and can get back to Oyster Bay without a flag being sent for them, they may come as soon as they please, and they shall not be molested. You may show this letter to them, but you must keep it in your hands, for if any person molests them, if they are quiet and peaceable according as cited in the letter, you will receive further orders from me. I dare say you can conceive that I would not presume to do anything of this nature without having the General's permission. Oyster Bay, Hog Island, March 5th, 1782.

Like his father, he was of an adventurous disposition. He gained notoriety in whale-boat Expeditions, fitted out from Stamford, Conn., for the purpose of capturing prominent Tories on L. I. to be exchanged for Prisoners held by the British Army. (Page 120) An incident is related in Onderdonk's " Queens Co.," p. 217: — July 31st, 1779. Last Tuesday morning, 2 o'clock, John Townsend, Esq., of Oyster Bay, was carried off by the rebels, led by Jonas Youngs, who robbed the house of many valuable articles, silver tankard, linen, etc., and partly demolished it. At the same time W. Sutton, of Maroneck, and a young man named Arnold Fleet were carried off to Stamford and paroled. The men carried their boat over the beach. Their sentinel, not hearing the signal, was left behind and wandered about on Mill Neck till starvation forced him to give up. In 1776, his goods were removed from L. I. by Capt Jacob Riley. (C. 131) He may have served in the 6th Dutchess. (G. 68) He was b. about 1754. (Youngs Gen.) The lack of further information is probably due to the fact that he never returned to L. I. (Hon.

He was a Federalist, and strict in his religious views. He seems to have never returned to the Island. (Mr. James F. Young) As he was younger than Joseph (One), above, it is probable that he served in Col. Smith's Regt. (G. 38) ; in Col. Terry's Regt. (G. 8) ; and perhaps in the Add'l Corps of the Line. (G. 55) One of his name was a Prisoner. (" N. Y. in the Rev'n-Spt.," p. 44) Those of the name who served in the ist, 2d and Ass'd Exempts of Westchester were probably related to him.

THE REFUGEES FROM NEW YORK CITY These Refugees fled to other parts of the State of New York, or to Connecticut. An exodus of the less prosperous began, in 1775. By October, of that year, several thousand had left the City. (Wilson's " Mem'l Hist.," 2. 486) The exodus continued in 1776. (Ap. A. 6. Also " N. Y. in the Rev'n— Spt.," pp. 118- 1 2 5) The more prominent citizens did not leave until just before, or just after, the Battle of Long Island, August 27, 1776. No effort has been made to secure a complete list of the Refugees from the City. We have to do with those only who appear in the original documents (Appendixes A. — H.), along with the Refugees from Long Island to Connecticut. And even the few, who are noticed below, are treated with brevity if their printed biographies can be found elsewhere — the plan being to give information which other biographies do not contain. The story of the Refugees from New York City is an inviting field. It is to be hoped that some one, who is well versed in the history of the City, may make that story the subject of a special research. It cannot be undertaken in this work.

He stated that he was a printer, and that his outfit had been captured by the enemy.

(Page 32) Several of this name served the Army: Lamb's Art'y (G. 50); the Levies of Weissenfels, Malcom, Graham and Pawling (G. 57, 58, 60, 61); and in Conn.

He prepared the map of the post, which Arnold delivered to Andre and which was found on the capture of the latter. He was present at the surrender of Cornwallis ; and made a map of the siege of Yorktown. He succeeded Gen. Knox, as Chief of Art'y, in 1784. He was breveted Lt. Col., in 1787; and was Col. of the State Regt. of Art'y, 1785-1803. In 1786, he was appointed as the first Federal Post Master of N. Y. City. From 1788 to 1793, he was Dy. Post- Master Gen. of the U. S. He was a Member of the Cincinnati. (" N. Y. State Society of the Cincinnati ") An other autograph appears on Page 1 1 1 . In 1786, he was appointed Lt. Col. of the Art'y Regt., under Brig. Gen. William Malcolm; and, in 1796, he was succeeded by Col. Ebenezer Stevens. (See Stevens)— (WUson's " Mem'l Hist. N. Y. City," 4. 274, 276) He was Post Master from 1790 to 1803. (Booth's " New York," p. 655. Also Lossing's " Field Book," 2. 310. Also " N. Y. State Sons of Rev'n, Year Book— 1909," p. 325) He was Comm'y of Military Stores at the Battery, 1788-1798; his salary for a year being £40. (Original documents, owned by his g. grandson, Mr. George A. Brennan, of Chicago) Mr. Brennan, who is the Historian of the IUinois Soc'y, Sons of Amn. Rev'n, gives the following, in addition: Col. Bauman was b. in Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, Apr. 6, 1739. His father was a high official of the court of Maria Theresa, Empress of Germany; his mother was a Spanish lady. He was educated at Heidelberg. He was famous as a swordsman, and killed an officer of high rank in a duel. As, at that time, the survivor of a duel between Officers was executed by both the Austrian and Prussian Governments, Col. Bauman was forced to flee, coming to New York about 1760. Here he joined the English Army as an Officer. (Mrs. Quincy's " Memoirs ") He disapproved of the treatment of the Americans by the English Commanders, and resigned. He became one of the organizers of the " Sons of Liberty," in 1765. In that year, he m. Anna Wetzell. He was one of Alexander Hamilton's most intimate friends, and was his instructor in Artillery. In May, 1775, he organized the German Fusileers as a sep ¦ arate Company. Later, he was appointed Maj. in Col. John Lasher's First Regt., N. Y. Vols. He was Commandant of Artillery at West Point 1778-17S4, at times having entire charge of the Fort. He was one of the Commanders of Artillery at Yorktown; and was mentioned by the French and English Generals as one of the American artillerists whose skill won their astonishment and admiration, as they considered it equal to anything in Europe. (Johnston's " Siege of Yorktown ") Johnston also declares Col. Bauman's map of Yorktown to be superior to any other. He was the originator of the Society of the Cincinnati. This honor is often given to Maj. Shaw; but this is a mistake. Maj. Shaw was engaged to Col. Bauman's daughter, and was often at his house. Col. Bauman often spoke of the advantages of having a Society composed of the Officers of the_ Revolutionary War. Maj. Shaw broached it to Gen. Knox, and so the Society was organized. Custis, Washington's nephew, and adopted son, speaks of Bauman as a favorite Officer of the Revolutionary Army. He took care of his artillery at Valley Forge, at his own expense. Due de Chastelleux, who visited West Point during the Revolution, speaks, in his memoirs, of his amazement at finding in the American wilderness such a cultured family as that of Col. Bauman, and with such refined surroundings. Col. Bauman was the only American Artillery Officer to bring back all of his guns to New York after the Battle of L. I. He also had charge of the evacuation of New York, in 1776; and was the last man to leave, narrowly escaping capture by the British as they took possession of the City. He was, likewise, the first American soldier to enter the City when they took possession of it on Nov. 25, 1783, as the British marched out. He d. Oct. 19, 1803. BECK JOSEPH— To New Haven, Conn.

[See B. 31.] [Note.— By the Law of Apr. 6, 1792, the sum of £92.15.4 was paid to Dr. Lawrence and Richard Seaman.] 31 Petition of William Lawrence to the Senate of New York. [Date not given; but probably 1789, and a duplicate of the Petition noted in B. 30. Rev'y MSS., 40. 100.] At the first commencement of trouble with Britain there were provincial Congresses for redress of grievances; but, not obtaining any, money was wanted. We lent them, I think Mr. [Isaac] Roosevelt was present, which was afterward paid to us again. Then arms, etc., were wanted; we ex changed for continental bills hard money, to send to Estatia [St. Eustatia, or Eustatius, of the Dutch West Indies] for them. We also contributed to the relief of the distressed in Boston. When the British troops came to Staten Island I was at Albany and arrived at this place the afternoon before the evacuation of Long Island by our troops. Of course all com munication being cut off could not return to my family at Musketo Cove on Long Island. In consequence of which was obliged to go to West chester and from thence to Northcastle where my wife came to see me sollicting me to return, as my aged mother herself and children were insulted very much by the Tories and my property destroyed by [several words missing] the first visit putting confidence in the United efforts of the Continet that the British troops would be obliged to abandon the attempt of subjugating the Colonies. She made the second visit request ing that I would go over with her, for without me they could not have any peace or get anything to subsist upon. In consequence of this natural feeling for my aged mother & family I complied with her request and went with her without any permission from any quarter, as there were no flags at that time, to my home, or, rather, return from my journey from Albany. Can this be called going to the enemy and joining, when I was threatened by the people there if they could catch me they would hang me to the first tree they came to? And what was the consequence of my return? Why, as soon as I had got to my house, a messenger was sent off to Oyster Bay to Cruger who commanded there, & file of men with bayonets fixt were sent off & conducted hie to Oyster Bay &. there put in the guard house & kept there for some time without any hearing, which one of your honourable members very well knows, Mr. Townsend, & after that I was obliged, by the captain of the company where I liverl to go on guard along the shore, & instead of a gun I carried a stick, and as soon as I could, which was in about three or four months, I moved my family to Southampton & from thence to killingsworth, in Connecticut & there remained until peace took place; & can make it appear that I have been as good a friend as any man to the American cause. While I was at Southampton I came to this place & got intelligence of the number of British troops that had arrived, & sent the information to Governor Trumble; also that I have suffered as much as any one according to the property I had. The Still house I was concerned in, verry much dam aged, the repair of which did not cost less than three hundred pounds, as the British made a store house of it. When Congress applied to the Citizens of the United States for to lend them money, I let them have what I had, & some of it was the very money I received for the hard money in exchange, as I mentioned above, for the purpose of sending for arms &c All this for the common defense, & that same money so received in exchange Congress have reduced to 10 & 15 for one. Well, notwithstanding all this, Charles Duryea paid into the treasury £93.15.4. Documentary — Appendix B — 30-36 jig during my absence which has been made use of also for the common de fence, the Senate have not allowed me anything for it. After the petition I sent in had been referred to a committee which committee reported in favor of it & the lower house of Assembly approved of said report still the Senate would not allow it. Now, after stating all those facts which are not to be denied, I pray that the Honorable Senate will reconsider their report & grant petitioner's reasonable request. William Lawrence. The money I lent Congress was £1200 good money which is reduced to the scale to £217. 32 Assembly, Jan. 16, 1790 — Petition of James and Job Sayre, Executors of James Sayre, of Orange Co., relative to money paid to the State Treas ury for debts due to an enemy of the State.

By those losses and by supporting a large family in Conn, during the war, found himself unable to pay his debts and prays that the Treasurer of the State may by law be enabled to sign as a creditor for the discharge of a certain bond. Senate, Mar. 24, 1787 — Petition of the same John Foster, dated N. Y, Mar. 22, 1787. (Leg. Pap. 2174.)

Octr. 1777." 41 [Note. — Original in the possession of the John Carter Brown Library, Providence, R. I.] To His Excellency George Clinton, Esquire, Governor, and the other the Honorable Members composing the Board, constituted by Law for the temporary Government of the Southern District of the State : The Memorial of the Subscribers, in Behalf of themselves and others, the Refugee Citizens of New-York : Humbly Sheweth : That your Memorialists were, among the first of the citizens of America, who in the early stages of British usurpation, asserted their rights as became freemen; and who openly contended against the unconstitutional and arbitrary measures which were adopted and pursued by the King and Parliament of Britain, to reduce the inhabitants of this continent to the abject state of unconditional submission, to such exercises of power as their avarice or ambition might dictate. And your Memorialists, after a series of unavailing applications to the British Court for redress, can also ascribe to themselves the honor of making the first overtures to their then sister colonies for establishing that union among themselves, which, under the protection of Divine Providence, has proved the happv means of their common preservation; and which has enabled them, with such unparralleled success, to repel the powerful exertions of an exasperated enemy, and to close the hazardous contest by compelling even that haughty enemy to acknowledge these United States as a free, sovereign and independent nation. That your Memorialists, conscious of the rectitude of their intentions, the justice and importance of the cause in which they were engaged, stimulated by the most sacred regard for the civil and religious liberties of Documentary — Appendix B — 37-41 721 their country, and possessing the fullest dependence upon the honour, the exertions, and support of their fellow sufferers, citizens and countrymen, so solemnly promised and pledged by voluntary associations, declaring to the world, that at every hazard, expence and danger, they would defend and maintain their freedom against every invader. Governed by such motives, and confiding in such assurances, your Memorialists, in demonstration of the sincerity of their professions, most cheerfully aband oned their comfortable habitations, their property, and many of them every means of support, upon the approach of the British armament to this State in the year 1776. Perhaps too sanguinely reasoning from the dictates of their own hearts, that a people on whose generosity and grati tude they were thus confidentially depending, and for whose safety, interest and cause they were thus fully devoting themselves, would receive them with the most cordial expressions of friendship, favour and esteem. At this period, and in the most destitute and dispersed circumstances, commenced the various, aggravated and severe hardships, which, in the course of a seven years' exile, your Memorialists have experienced ; and, notwithstanding of which, animated by the hope of being eventually suc cessful in the great cause in which they were embarked ; they have on all occasions, with fortitude and firmness, continued to manifest their zeal and perseverance, by contributing according to their power and opportunity, whatever has been required from them in common with othersj» for public use or service; Patiently, though anxiously waiting for that happy day, which would relieve them from such mortifying scenes of misery, by restoring them triumphantly to their native city with liberty and peace. Such having been the conduct, the sacrifices, and the sufferings of your Memorialists, through the tedious periods of the war, there can be but few among all the citizens of America who have more real cause of rejoicing at the auspicious prospect of an honourable peace. — But when they reflect upon the present circumstances of the city, and compare them with their own :— When they remember that a very considerable part of it is reduced to ashes, and the residue in the occupation of adherents to the British government, and followers of the British army, possessed, not only of all the advantages derived from trade and business of every kind, but also of wealth and influence to secure those advantages to themselves. — Your Memorialists would be filled with the most painful and alarming apprehensions for their future means of subsistence and support, were they not comforted by the confidence and truth which they repose in the justice and wisdom of that government, which they have done so much to establish. Your Memorialists have derived great satisfaction and encouragement from the provident measures adopted by the Legislature, which under prudent limitations, constitutes a temporary government for the southern district of the state, especially as they flatter themselves that a generous attention to the case and circumstances of the dispersed and unfortunate citizens of New- York, as a principal end, dictated the expediency and propriety of this judicious and necessary act. And your Memorialists, possessing the same confidence in the justice, generostiy and wisdom of your Honorable Board, entertain no doubt but that you will be equally disposed to take your Memorialists under your immediate protection and favour, and to exert the powers with which you are invested' for the pur pose of promoting their speedy and effectual re-establishment, as far as may be practicable, in their former habitations, or in as comfortable a manner as the reduced conditions of the city will permit. Reduced in property, and destitute as many of your Memorialists are, and notwithstanding they have devoted so many years of the most valuable part of their lives to the common cause of their country, yet they never would think themselves warranted to solicit the interposition of your Honourable Board for their interest or accommodation in any in stance where their application or claims would operate against the true interest of the State at large, or with the rights of those who were entitled to the favour of government; but your Memorialists are fully 46 722 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut persuaded that when the merits of their present requests are dispassion ately and impartially investigated, it will be abundantly evident, that on the one hand, they have given the most ample demonstrations of attach ment, perseverance and zeal, through all the vicisitudes of the ardous con test; and that on the other hand, those who are in possession of the city have perhaps, with equal perseverance, exerted themselves to support our enemy and to defeat the measures which have been pursued for the preservation of our lives, liberty, and the establishment of our freedom and independence; nor can there be a doubt, but that exasperated by their disappointment and disgrace, they will retain the same vindictive rage and enmity against our happy constitution and government; and instigated by their unconquerable prejudices, will exert every means in their power to attempt their subversion. And when it is considered how far the influence, principles and examples of the citizens of the metropolis prevail through the remote parts of the state, there can be as litle doubt about the policy of guarding against the dangerous effects which reasonably might be apprehended from excluding the whig inhabitants and suffering the capital of the state to remain an asylum for the disaffected, and a nursery of tory principles. Having thus freely, but they hope, with becoming respect, stated to your Honorable Board the peculiar embarrassments and distresses of their present situation; and also taken the liberty to suggest such arguments as they trust, will sufficiently vindicate the justice and propriety of their claims; your Memorialists take leave to represent, that many of them were tenants, and rented houses either by the year, or upon lease for a term of years, which they abandoned, and with the American army retired from the city in the fall of the year 1776. That others of your Memorial ists occupied houses their own property, which, since the enemy have had possession of the city, are consumed by fire, and that comparatively, there are but very few of those citizens who withdrew from New- York upon the approach of the enemy, who have either the means or prospect of being able to procure a covering for their families upon their return, especially as in their present circumstances, they cannot afford to pay such extravagant rents as are demanded by the proprietors, particularly by those who have adhered to the enemy or remained within their power and protection during the war, and which are frequently given by dis affected and strangers, as your Memorialists apprehend, thereby to gain a residence and establishment in the state. Under such a complication of difficulties, your Memorialists are con strained to present their case and claims to your Honorable Board : — They again declare that they wish for nothing incompatible with the rights of whig citizens, or which would embarrass government in their decisions; and they flatter themselves, that while they only claim to be provided for, as faithful and zealous citizens and subjects, in preference to those who have been open and avowed enemies, their applications will neither be deemed unreasonable, nor rejected by a government convinced of the truth of the facts which they assert, and friendly to the principles of our glorious revolution. Your Memorialists do therefore most earnestly request, that your Honorable Board will be pleased to take their case into consideration, and as soon as conveniently may be, to make an ordinance, authorizing such of your Memorialists who either occupied, rented or leased houses in the year 1776, from persons who have either remained, or removed within the enemy's lines, to repossess the same upon their return to the city. Also directing that such houses as are part of confiscated estates be appro priated, until the legislature shall otherwise determine for the further accommodation of your Memorialists; and prescribing such other methods and means of providing houses for the Refugee Citizens as a due sense of their merits, their necessity and your wisdom may suggest. And in order to prevent as much as possible those irregularities and con fusion, which, on such an occasion may be apprehended, as well as for the convenience of the citizens, your Memorialists beg leave further to request, Documentary — Appendix B — 41 723 724 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut that a competent number of prudent persons may be appointed by your Honorable Board for the purpose of distributing the houses, agreable to such ordinance as your Honorable Board shall be pleased to pass in favour of your Memorialists, who as in duty bound, shall ever pray, &c.

Gilbert Henry Kip Reply of Governor Clinton. Gentlemen, Accept my most sincere Thanks for your very affectionate and respectful, address. Citizens who, like you, to indicate the sacred Cause of Freedom, have quitted their native City, their Fortunes and pos sessions & sustained with manly Fortitude the Rigors of a long and painful exile, superseded to the grevious Calamities of a vengeful war, merit, in an eminent degree, the title of Patriots and the Esteem of mankind ; and your Confidence and approbation are Honors which cannot be received without the utmost sensibility, contemplated without gratitude and satis faction. To your sufferings and to the invincible spirit with which they were surmounted, I have been witness ; and while I sympathized in your Distresses I have deeply lamented that I had not means to alleviate them equal to my Inclination : The asurances of your firm support in the administration of Govern ment give me similar Pleasure. A Reverence for the Law is peculiarly essential to publick safety & Prosperity under our free Constitution; and should we suffer the Authority of the Magistrate to be violated, for the sake of private Vengeance, we should be unworthy of the numberless Blessings which an indulgent Providence hath placed within our Reach. I shall endeavor steadily to discharge my Duty, and I flatter myself that this State will become no less distinguished for Justice and publick Tran quility in Peace than it has hitherto been marked in War for Vigor, Forti tude and Perseverance. Gentlemen, Your kind Congratulations on my arrival at this metropolis, after so long an absence, are highly acceptable, and I most cordially felici tate with you on the Joyful Event which have restored us to the free & uncontrollable Enjoyment of our Right. While we regard with inviolable gratitude and assertion all who have aided us by their Council or their arms let us not be unmindful of that Almighty Being whose gracious Providence has been manifestly Interposed for Deliverance and Protection : and let us prove by our Virtues that we desire to partake of the Freedom soverignty & Independence which are so happily established throughout these United States. 726 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut The Exiles from New York City Adopt Resolutions (Clinton Pap. 8. 294-297) At a meeting of a large and respectful number of Inhabitants (lately returned from a seven years' exile) at Mr. Cape's Tavern, Broad-Way, on Tuesday evening the 18th of November [1783], the following Resolu tions were unanimously agreed to.

[Jabez] Gregory, an Inhabitant of Norwalk, to go Master of the Flag that I should grant for that purpose. I told them I did not choose to let any person to take the command of a Flag granted by me, except an officer belonging to the Troops under my Command, as I could not call any Inhabitant to an Account if they should be found to carry on a clandestine trade with the enemy (which I have reason to believe has been too much practised by Flags of Truce that have been sent from this shore to L. I.) ; they answered that they supposed the expense would be greater, if one of my Officers took the command of the Flag than what it would if the person should go whom they had propos'd, as they had already agreed with him for that purpose ; I replied that could be no Objection to my proposal as neither myself nor the Officer Commanding the Flag should take anything for setting them across. I accordingly ordered my Major of Brigade to prepare a Boat and granted a Flag for the purpose of carrying them to L. I. agreeable to the permission granted them by your Excellency; they left my Quarters and agreed to return the second day following; but I have neither heard nor seen anything of them since.

H3 20.87 — To the Honorable General Assembly of the State of Con necticut now sitting at Hartford in said State, the Memorial of Abraham Herring [Haring] late of the City and State of New York now resident in Stratford in the County of Fairfield humbly Sheweth — That your Honours Memorialist is, and ever has been sincerely and warmly At tached to the Cause of American Liberty. That he took an early and Documentary — Appendix E — 111-114 931 decided part in the present important Controversy with Great Britain, and has ever acted the Part of a steady uniform Friend to the Liberty and Independence of these States. That in Consequence of such his Attachment to the Cause of America, in Sept 1776 he found himself under a Necessity of leaving New York with such Personal property as he could hastily bring off with him, and has ever since resided at Strat ford aforesaid in anxious expectation and hope of seeing a happy period put to the Calamities of our Country, so that he might again return to his Property and employments in New York aforesaid — That he has an increasing and already expensive Family, and having been able to transact very little or no profitable Business since his residence in this State, he has unavoidably and totally expended all the Property he was able to bring out with him, when he fled from New York and placed himself under the protection of this State. So that he is in danger of finding himself soon destitute of all the resources of subsistence, unless' releived by the kind interposition of this Honorable Assembly — That he has a considerable real Estate, in, and about, the said City of New York, which descended to him from his Father Elbert Herring [Haring] late of said New York deceased; and which he has now an happy Op portunity secretely to dispose of to the amount of about fifteen hundred Pounds lawful Money, for such Goods and Merchandise as are much wanted at this time by the Good People of this State — That he wishes extremely to avail himself of this Offer, which would be so highly ben eficial to him in' his present destitute and disagreeable state of Exile, and to obtain the permission of this Honourable Assembly to Import such Goods and Merchandise into this State ; if it be consistent with the public Weal, which he would by no means sacrifice in any degree, to his private Necessities or Emolument, how great soever — That he Conceived, however, that such a transaction under your Honours direc tion and permission, would, so far from being injurious, be highly bene ficial to the Public, as it would be a transfer of Property from the Enemy, in effect without any Consideration whatsoever, since his real Estate is already in their Hands and under their absolute dominion. And consequently to obtain from them fifteen hundred Pounds in British Manufacters for real Estate so already in their Power, would to the United States of America, be essentially the same thing as for him to Capture Goods to that amount from their Merchants. Whereupon your Memorialist humbly prays your Honours, in tender Consideration of his unfortunate situation, and the Circumstances aforesaid, to enable him to avail himself of this Opportunity for some degree of relief in his un happy Exile, and to grant him Liberty and permission to Import into this State from New York aforesaid, or from within the Enemies Lines Bretish Goods to the amount aforesaid, the avails of his said real Estate so by him to be disposed of as aforesaid under such regulations and re strictions as your Honours shall think proper, or in some way to grant releif to your Memorialist as your Honours in your Wisdom shall think best and he as in Duty bound shall ever pray &c Dated in Hartford this 18th Day of October A. D. 1780 Abraham Herring [Haring] 114 20.88 — We the Subscribers Authority and Select Men of the Town of Stratford in Fairfield County, do hereby Certifie that we have been well Acquainted with Mr. Abraham Herring [Haring] ever since September 1776, when he retired from New York into this State for Protection, and has resided at Stratford, and do Esteem him a Gentleman of Repu tation, and good Character, who, as far as we know, has ever acted the part of a Sincere and warm Friend to the Liberties and Independence of the United States of America.

William Worthington, commander of the State guards at Saybrook. did, contrary to his duty, sometime since the 17th day of May last, permit Richard Seaman, a refugee from Long Island, to import and land at Saybrook a considerable quantity of British goods, which the said Colo. 934 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Worthington then knew were illegally imported and landed as afore said, and that they were voluntarily brought by the said Seaman from the possession of the enemy to said Saybrook, and that they were after wards disposed of by him in this State; that the said Colo. Worthington being fully acquainted, as aforesaid, with the said illegal conduct of the said Seaman, and having it entirely in his power to have seized said goods, totally failed in performing his dutv therein; and that he did not inform the Governor of this State of the said illegal conduct of the said Seaman, although he well knew that said Seaman pretended to have imported said goods by virtue of an authority derived from his Excellency the Governor, which pretentions of the said Seaman the said Colo. Worthington knew were false ; Resolved by this assembly, that Brigadier General [Andrew] Ward, Colo. Dyer Throop, and Ltd. Colo. Marshfield Parsons repair to Saybrook and, having notyfied the said Colo. Worthington to attend, that they proceed fully to investigate what truth there may be in said information by bringing any witnesses be fore them which can testify anything concerning the premises, and re port what they shall find, upon the result of their enquiry, to the General Assembly to be held in May next. 21.215 — To the Honorable General Assembly of the State of Con necticut to be holden at Hartford on the second Thursday of May Inst — ¦ We the Subscribers being appointed by the Honorable General As sembly at their Session by adjournment at Hartford the 6th day of January last, a Committee, and being ordered to repair to Say Brook and there examine into certain matters aledged against Colo.

Worthington who attended accordingly. — We also caused all such Witnesses (as we could find, that knew anything about the matter aledged) at attend and testify. — And after a full hearing and examina tion into the matter, we find the following to be the true state of the matter as far as we were able to collect, — that said Colo. Worthington had the superintendency and command of the' Guards that were sta tioned on the Shore in said Say Brook from some time in June last, through the Summer and fall, as long as the Guards were kept up ; — and that he frequently gave spirited orders to said Guards to keep a good look out, in order to prevent the illicit trade with Long Island if possible. We also find that one Richard Seaman, a Refugee from Long Island, on the 17th day of May last, and for some considerable time be fore,- and yet does live and board at said Colo. Worthington's house, and by the advice of the Governor and his council of safety Colo. Worth ington employed said Seaman to obtain intelligence from the Enemy, and for that purpose has been sent to said Island sundry times ; — and he has obtained some intelligence of importance; — which said Seaman obtained a permit last Spring of the Governor and his Council, in" the words following viz. — "At a meeting of the Governor and Council of safety holden in Hartford the 17th day of May A. D. 1779 Voted that Richard Seaman a Refugee from Long Island be permitted to pass with a Boat to Long Island and to bring off his family with his household furniture, provisions and money, provided said Seaman first apply to Capt. Shipman, Commandant of the Fort at Say Brook, to search said Boat and see that no goods, provisions or money are on board at the time of his departure; and that on his return he shall exhibit to some Naval Officer a true Manifesto on oath, of all such articles, as he shall have brought from said Long Island on board said Boat"' Which said permit was attested by the Clerk of the Council, and counter-signed by the Governor ; — And that the said Seaman in August and September Documentary — Appendix E — 120 935 following at two several times brought a quantity of European Goods from said Long Island; — of which he soon after made a manifesto on oath at the Port of Middletown to the Naval Officer there, which man ifesto and the certificate thereof are in the words following viz — " The following is a true Invoice and Manifesto of household furniture of Goods and articles brought from Long Island by the Subscriber, by virtue of a permit from his Excellency the Governor and Council of Safety, which were the property of the Subscriber long before the first day of May last on Long Island aforesaid Viz, 3 pieces of Broadcloth 6 Doz.

D. 1779 — The most of which goods are since sold to some persons in the State, and are all the goods that said Seaman has brought that we could learn; — All which Colo. Worthington knew but had no concern or privity in the trade himself, as we could find. We also find that one Doctr. William Lawrance a Refugee from Long Island, last fall lived at said Colo. Worthington's house and by advice from the Governor was im ployed by said Colo. Worthington to gain intelligence from the Enemy and proved serviceable that way: — Which said Lawrance obtained a permit of the Governor on the nth of November last in the words fol lowing viz. " State of Connecticut. — By the Governor To all concerned. Doctr. Willm. Lawrence, belonging to Long Island, is permitted to go from Say Brook to said Island and bring off his family household goods, medicines, and some other small effects, that he hath belonging to him there,— and is excused for bringing with him at his late coming over, some articles of furniture of Silver plate. — He 936 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut with the Vessel he goes in to be under the inspection of the Comandant of the Fort at Say Brook both on his going and returning, to prevent illicit trade, and dangerous intercourse with the Enemy."

Worthington's house ; and were soon after seised by one Ephraim Kelsey the Sergt. of the Guard; and were finally all carried to said Colo. Worthington's house that night, and that Colo. Worthington on that, and the next succeeding night used some arguments to persuade the Sergt. of the Guard to deliver the goods up to the Doctr. supposing his permit covered them: And we also find that said Sergt. Kelsey was not convinced that said permit did cover them, and still held the goods ; and pretty soon after made a report to the Governor and his Council of Safety of all his conduct relative to his seising and detaining said goods, and dso of all Colo. Worthington's conduct relative to the same And on or about the 18th of December last Colo. Worthington and said Serjt. Kelsey attended before the Gov ernor and his Council, where all the matters before mentioned were laid open and fully heard : Whereupon said Co mcil proceeded to give the following directions or advice, viz. "At a meeting of the Governor and Council of Safety holden in Lebanon the 18th day of December 1779." " Whereas Ephraim Kelsey Serjt. of the Guard, st doned at the West Society in Say Brook on the 27th day of November last, seised one trunk and three Sacks, containing a quantity of Goods and remnants belonging to Doctr. Willm. Lawrence a friendly Refugee from Long Is land, which he had brought from said Island by permission;— yet not strictly conforming to the directions in the permit. — And the said Kelsey having made report thereof to his Excellency the Governor for advice — Resolved that his Excellency the Governor be desired to ad vise the said Serjt. Kelsey to deliver the said Trunk, Sacks & Goods to the Said Doctr. Lawrance on his paying the said Kelsey his reasonable expenses on the premisses." Documentary — Appendix E — 120-121 937 Which resolve was attested by the Clerk of the Council And Shewn to said Serjt. Kelsey; — whereupon he immediately delivered up said Goods to said Doctr.

D. 1779 to ist of January following I was Sargeant of the Gards Stationed at Saybrook West Society on the Sea Shore under the Com mand of Coll. William Worthington and that on the 27th of November Last at abot Twelve of the Clock in the Night as I was Patroling the Shore I Passed Three persons Viz Mr Richard Seaman Doct Wm. Lawrence and A Servan Boy to Coll. Wm. Worthington with A Quan tity of Europian Goods about 3/4 of A mile Easterly of Coll. Worth ington's Dwelling House and that Sd Seamans, Rode one Horse & Led another, on which Horses there was Three Sacks of Goods and A Large Trunk Slung on a pole between the Doctor and the Servant Boy Con taining goods the Led Horse I took from Mr. Seamans and gave it to One of the gard & ordered Mr. Seamans off from his Horse he Re quested the favour of Riding as he had a Large Sack before him to Coll. Worthington, where I told him I should Carry the goods which was agreable to my Orders from Coll. Worthington in Case of Any Seisure and while I was A little behind taking Care of the trunk it being Very Dark Mr. Seamans Rode of and made his Escape not with standing his promise to keep with the gard immediately on which I Left the Remaining of the goods with the gard and persued on after Sd Seamans to Coll. Worthington's and when I Came there found the Horse standing at the Dore Striped of Loding and going into the House I found Coll. Worthington Siting by the fire I asked where Mr. Seaman was he Said he was gone up Stairs I Said Mr. Seaman has shamefully Abused me for I took him under gard and he Contrary to his promise has made his Escape with part of the goods and the Coll. Replyed Set Down they Shall all Come out. I Said perhaps they may and perhaps they may not one half. I Said to the Coll. I wonder that you Should Let So Large A bundle pass without Examining it he Replyed I Set here in a Drouse almost A Sleep and did not take much notice abot this time One of the gard brought in to the Coll. One Daniel Foster and at the Same time the gard Came up with the Trunk and the rest of the goods Coll. Worthington Asked Doct. Lawrence for his permit which the Doct. gave him which the Coll. Red in my hearing and that it did appear that the Doct. had a permit from his Excellency to go on to the Island and bring of his Family Household furniture and Some other Small Effects belonging to him there and as the Coll. Red the per mit to me Sd Lawrence was to go and Return under the Inspection of 938 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut the Commandant of the Fort at Saybrook or the gards Since which I have Seen the permit and find that the permit Confined him to the In spection of the Commandent of the fort only and not the gards — at this time the Coll. asked me into another Room in private and told me that Doct. Lawrence was A worthy gentleman and that he had improved him to get Intelligence from the Enemy and that he Supposed the Doct. had goods but that the permit covered them I told him I did not Know but the permit Did but had not Seen them Coll. Replyed he was willing that I and One more Should See the goods but not any more of the gard and advised me to take A Slight Look over the goods and then inform the gard that the permit is prety general and that it Covers the goods and To Let it pass om which I Examined the Trunk & Sacks a-nd found that they Contained A Variety of English goods two or Three Book & A Small bunch of what he Said was medisons and upon Examining the Sack that Mr. Seamans Caried up Stairs it Did not Ap pear to have So much in it as when I first Saw it on the Horse — it now being' Late in the Night we Defered any further Examination to the next Evening after he requesting the matter to be kept private un till the Next Evening, at which time I went to the Colls.

Said further that he had proposed to the Doctor that the Doctor Should make me and those that was with me when the goods were taken A- handsome reward as we had been fatuiged in the Night. & as we had been in private Some time I told the Coll. I did not Like to be in private any Longer as he Knew he was Suspected of favouring the Illisset Trade on which One of the gard was Called in the Coll. Still went on with many Insinuations to Convince us that it was best to hush the matter I then told him I believed in my Soul you will and are Your self in trying to Secret Such matters and that I Could not See that the permit in any wise Covered the goods and Insisted of an Inventory of the goods and Obtained A Partial One — the above mentioned Foster on being Examined Said he Came from the Island in the boat which brought the goods and that in Coming from the Island fell in with the Land about Two miles westerly of the Coll.

At the period of their service the Regiments of the N. Y. Line had not been formed. Later, the most of them appeared in those Regiments; and several of them enlisted in more than one Regiment. As a larger number enlisted in the 4th Line than in any other, it seems proper to place them here — especially for the reason that Capt. Daniel Roe and Lt. Jonathan Tit-us were of the 4th Line. The beginnings of service bear various dates, from Mar. 1. 1776, on. The periods of service also varied, the extremes being 13 days, and two months and one day. The beginnings of service, the periods of service and the amounts paid are omitted. The total amount paid was £313.3.4, York Currency — £234.17.6, Lawful Money — 782 66-72 Dollars. The original gives very plainly the names, Joseph Lonklin and Ananias Longdon. It is possible that they should be Conklin and Congdon.

FORMS OF ASSOCIATION At the suggestion of the Continental Congress, the following Form of Association to support Congress and the Provincial Convention was adopted, by the Freemen, Freeholders, and inhabitants of the city and county of New York, on Saturday, the 29th of April, 1775, and transmitted for signing to all the Counties in the Province : — 1050 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut Persuaded, that the Salvation of the Rights and Liberties of America, depends, under GOD, on the firm Union of its Inhabitants, in a vigorous Prosecution of the Measures necessary for its Safety; and convinced of the Necessity of preventing the Anarchy and Confusion, which attend a Dissolution of the Powers of Government; We, the Freeholders, and Inhabitants, of , being greatly alarnfed at the avowed Design of the Ministry, to raise a Revenue in America ; .and, shocked, by the bloody Scene, now acting in the Massachusetts Bay, DO, in the most solemn Manner resolve, never to become Slaves; and do Associate under all the Ties of Religion, Honour, and Love to our Country, to adopt and endeavour to carry into Execution, whatever Measures may be rec ommended by the Continental Congress; or resolved upon by our Pro vincial Convention, for the Purpose of preserving our Constitution, and opposing the Execution of the several arbitrary, and oppressive Acts of the British Parliament; until a Reconciliation between Great-Britain and America, on Constitutional Principles, (which we most ardently Desire) can be obtained ; And that we will, in all Things follow the Advice of our General Committee, respecting the Purposes aforesaid, the Preserva tion of Peace and good Order, and the Safety of Individuals, and private proDerty. Dated in May, 1775. [See Page 141 for a reduced fac-simile of this Form.] THE ATTITUDE OF KINGS COUNTY In Gaine's "New York Gazette,'' of Dec. 9, 1776, will be found the following Memorial, signed by 470 of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Kings County, who may be supposed to comprise most, if not all, those then resident in the County; and what makes it the more extraordinary, is the fact of its adoption some months after the Declaration of American Independence, and the Battle of Long Island. (Thompson's " Long Island," 1. 285) " To his Excellency, William Tryon, Governor, &c. " We, the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Kings County, in the Prov ince of New York, beg leave to congratulate your Excellency on your return to the Capital of your Government, and assure you that we feel the sincerest emotion of pleasure in this happy event, which opens a pros pect that we shall once more experience the blessings of peace and security, under His Majesty's auspicious Government and protection. Blessings which we formerly enjoyed under Your Excellency's just and mild Admin istration ; and which we ardently wish to have renewed ; persevering in our loyalty and unshaken attachment to our Gracious Sovereign in this time of distress and trial; and anxious to testify our affections for Him, we have embraced the earliest opportunity to petition the King's Commis sioners, that they would restore this Country to His Majesty's peace. " From the well known humanity, benevolence, and enlarged sentiments of His Majesty's Commissioners, we have the most flattering expectation that they will be pleased to restore this District to His Majesty's peace. " To Your Excellency we naturally look for assistance, and we there fore request that you would be pleased to present our petition to the Commissioners, and desire your utmost influence, that the prayer of it may be granted; as it is our fervent desire, and what we esteem the greatest earthly felicity, to remain subjects of the British Government in union with the present state."

We, freeholders and inhabitants of Queens County, seeing, in com mon with our fellow-subjects, the deepest anxiety and distress from the most unhappy state of affairs between Great Britain and the American Colonies, and beholding with horror, every appearance of being involved in any the least unfriendly contention with our neighbors, countrymen and fellow subjects, have resolved to take every step in our power to prevent so destructive an event — an event which, if permitted to take place, will introduce misery and distress, and open wounds that many years cannot heal. Impressed with these ideas, and the most friendly disposition towards all our fellow-subjects, we make this public declaration of our sentiments and intentions, by which we hope to obtain the appro bation of every real friend of liberty. We declare that we have not the most distant design or inclination to injure or offend any of our fellow-subjects; but if, in exe'rcising the essential privileges of freemen, we unfortunately differed with our breth ren as to the mode of bringing the present troubles to a happy conclusion, we have carefully avoided every ostentatious display of that difference 'in sentiment and every irritating measure. We wish only to remain in peace, nor have we done aught to interrupt the quiet of others. So far have we been from harbouring a wish to offer violence to any, that we remained a long time destitute of the ordinary means of self-defence. We trusted that as we meant not to injure any man, so none would • attempt to injure us. At length, however, we found too much reason to be apprehensive for the safety of ourselves, our families and property. Reports have been circulated, and messages delivered to us, importing that we are to be disarmed, and some of our principal people taken in custody; that we are, in short, to be treated as enemies to our country. We call upon every man who values himself upon the inheritance of an Englishman, to say what he would do in such a case. Would he suffer himself to be disarmed, and tamely confess himself an abject slave? Cer tainly no. Can any one, then, who feels the spirit of liberty, impose that on us which he had rather die than submit to himself? Can he blame us for doing that which he most surely would do was he in our situation? Impelled by the most powerful arguments of self-defence, we 1052 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut have at last been driven to procure a supply of those means for pro tecting ourselves, of which we have been, till now, almost totally destitute; but we solemnly declare we procured them for the sole purpose of defend ing ourselves from insults and injuries. And as 'many reports have been propagated, tending to excite the resent ment of our countrymen against us, and to represent us as entirely in imical to them, we take this opportunity to declare that all such reports are wicked inventions and void of truth. To remain peaceable and quiet, we again repeat, is our earnest desire; and breathing the most friendly disposition towards our neighbours, countrymen, and fellow subjects, we entreat them to behold in us those endearing connections, and not suffer a difference in opinion, or mis chievous and groundless reports, to hurry them into acts of violence against us, which the laws of God and man will justify us in resisting. The above declarations are published as containing the sentiments and intentions of a large majority of the inhabitants of the County. Declaration Signed by Sundry Inhabitants of Queens- County, New York. (American Archives, 4th Series. 4. 858) January 19, 1776 Whereas we, the subscribers, inhabitants of Queens County, on Long Island, in the Province of New York, have given great uneasiness to the good people of the neighboring Provinces and the Continent in general, by our not choosing a Committee, agreeable to the orders of the Contin ental Congress, by our not paying that attention to the directions of our Provincial Congress, which we ought to have done, and by our opposing the General Instructions of the Continental Congress in almost all of our conduct and actions. Therefore, (In order to relieve the minds of the virtuous inhabitants of America, and those of this County in par ticular, engaged in the common cause.) we, the subscribers, do most solemnly and sincerely promise, that we will, hereafter, in all cases, im plicitly obey all orders and instructions enjoined on us by our Provin cial and Continental Congresses, — that we will act in conjunction with the inhabitants of this and the neighboring Provinces, in the defence of American liberty, — that^ we never will take up arms against the Ameri cans, — and that we will not, directy or indirectly, CQuntenance, aid, assist, or by any means join with, any of his Majesty's troops in the pres ent contest between Great Britain and America.

If they reconsidered and signed, their names are given only as signers, below. While all the other towns have their Lists, it may seem strange that Southold has none. The Southold names may be found in Nos. 10-12, the " County Hall " being in that Town. The " Q " stands for Quaker; the " R" for Refugee.

There is no proof, therein, of Military Service during the War. The documents (Associations. 30: 178, 179, 192, 194) were signed, apparently, without the care that is evident in the other lists. Some of the signers had already refused to sign — thus leading to confusion. Those who finally signed have been given credit therefor in the lists as they appear, below. The lists do not include those who were marked " absent." The first part of Nos. 13-17 is simply recorded "Suffolk County"; but the latter part is dated " Southold, June 23, 1775.

The "Record" was not found until about 100 years after the close of the War; and, even then, but a small por tion was recovered. That portion — embracing only the period. Jan. 20, 1781. to July 18, 1781 — was published in "The Magazine of American History." beginning in Oct., 1883, and ending in Aug., 1884. The extract, below, is all of the series that directly concerns Long Island and Conn. It appeared in Mar., 1884.] 8th June 1781. Ebenezer Hathaway (a), who has been for some time a prisoner in Cimberry Mines, says that one Nathaniel Ruggles (b.) who lives at Setal- ket sends over intelligence once every fortnight by Brewster (c.) who comes from Connecticut and lands at the Old Man's, (d.) Ruggles comes to New York frequently. One Clark (e.), who used to trade to Long Island and who has frequently come over with Brewster told him this. Clarke is now a prisoner in the mines. Hathaway landed at Oyster Ponds and on his way to this place met Major Talmadge and another officer belonging to the rebels at South- hold — he stop'd at a publick house there and was told by a widow woman who keeps it, that Talmadge came over to purchase clothing for the rebel army. Three waggons had sett off. that morning for Brooklyn to carry down goods for Talmadge (f.), and the day before three boats loaded had been sent over to Connecticut. There is a man whose name is Johnson (g.), who passes for a Refugee, and lives at Lloyd's Neck. He is employed by Congress to get intelli gence. A Captain Fitch who commands all the rebel whale boats sends over to Johnston and receives the intelligence required. The informant says the day he was taken by seven rebel whale-boats, one boat went ashore at a place called the Ships Garden and received in- Documentary — Appendix H — 35-36 1 06 7 telligence from some person who met them. He supposed it to be Johnson. A Mrs. Sacket whose husband is now in the Mines, told the informant that Capn Fitch (h.) told her that he could have any intelligence he wanted from Johnson — That some time ago one Baldwin who was sent out from there on private business was taken up on suspicion of being a spy and that the rebels sent over to Johnson to know whether he was so or not. That Johnson said that he had been employed/ for that purpose, upon which Baldwin was immediately sent to the mines, where the in formant saw him and heard the above from himself also — Mrs. Sackett is daughter to Colo. Palmer who lives with Gen'l. Waterbury at Stamford. She is intimately acquainted with Fitch and has often heard him speak of Johnson. FOOT-NOTES IN THE MAGAZINE a. Ebenezer Hathaway was the captain of the privateer ADVENTURE, captured on the 7th of April, 1781, who, with his crew, was imprisoned in the terrible sub terranean prison of Connecticut, " Cimberry. meaning " Simsbury " Mines, or " Newgate of Connecticut," as it was often styled. b. Nathaniel Ruggles, of " Setalkat," was one of Col. Talmadge's agents to get secret intelligence from New York for the American Commander-in-Chief. c. Letter from Connecticut, ante, Feb. 4, 1781. d. " Old Man's," where Brewster usually landed to meet Talmadge's agents, later known as Woodville, and now called by the strange Old Testament name " Mt. Sinai," is on the north shore of Long Island, about three miles east of " Setauket," as that place is now spelled. e. Clarke was one of the many Connecticut and Long Island people, whose only idea was to make money from both sides. f. From Brooklyn to Setauket, or " Old Man's," whence they were sent over the Sound to Talmadge. g. Johnson was one of Col. Talmadge's conduits of infdrmation. h. Capt. Fitch was John Fitch, a Connecticut man, commissioned by Gov. Trum bull, long engaged in the whaleboat plunder and intelligence business — bold, brave, and very successful. ADDITIONAL FOOT-NOTES b. Nath'l Ruggles may have been the one of that name who was chairman of the Committee of Guilford, and a Jus. Peace there. c. Capt. Caleb Brewster was a Refugee to Conn. See Page 278. e. Clarke. There is nothing to indicate his given name. g. Johnson. This may have been Samuel, a Refugee from Queens Co. to Conn. See Page 430. 36 EXTRACTS FROM GEN.

If the Commissarys should apply to the Command ing Officers of Regiments for any Bakers, they are to furnish them with out waiting, for a special order. The Gen'l was Sorry, Yesterday, to find when some Troops were or dered to March, they had no Provisions, notwithstanding the orders that have been Issued, the Men must March if the Service requires it, and will Suffer very much if not Provided, the Gen'l therefore directs all the Troops to have two Days hard Bread & Pork ready by them, and desires the Officers will go through the Incampment and Quarters, and see that it be got & kept. . The Gen'l would be obliged to any Officer, to recommend to him a care- full Sober Person, who understands taking care of Horses, and waiting 1070 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut occasionally, such Person being a Soldier will have his pay continued and receive additional Wages of 20/s. pr.

Capt'n Felton will assist them in the Business, and unless in Case of an Alarm they are desired not to draw for every small number of Men who may be coming in. The Enemy have now landed on long Island, and the Hour is fast ap proaching, in which the Honour and Success of this Army, and the Safety of our Blessing Country depends, remember, Officers and Soldiers, that you are Freemen fighting for the Blessing of Liberty, that Slavery will be your Portion, and that of your Posterity, if you do not acquit your selves like Men. Remember how your Courage and Spirits have been de spised and traduced by your cruel Invasion, tho' they have found by Dear Experience, at Boston, Charlestown, and other Places, what a few Brave Men contending on their own Land, in the best of Causes, can do ag't base Hirelings and Mercenaries. Be cool, but determined, don't fire at a distance, but wait for orders from your Officers. It is the Gen'ls express Orders, that if any Man attempt to skulk, lie down or Retreat without orders, he be Instantly Shot down as an example, he hopes no such Scoundrel will be found in this Army, but on the con trary, every one for himself resolving to conquer or Die, and trust in the Smiles of Heaven upon so just a Cause, will behave with bravery and Resolution, those who are distinguished for their Gallantry and good Con duct may depend upon being honourably noticed and Suitably rewarded, and if the Army will but emulate and Imrnitate their brave Countrymen in other parts of America, he has no doubt but they will, by a Glorious Victory, save their Country, and acquire to themselves Immortal Honour. Brigade Maj'rs are Immediately to Relieve the Guards out of the Reg't ordered to Long Island from other Reg'ts of the Brigades, and forward such Guards to the Reg'ts. Maj'r Newberries, Coll.

No argument can be necessary, at such a time as this, to induce all Officers to Strict attention to their Duty. The Constant firing in the .Camp, (notwithstanding repeated orders to the Contrary), is very Scandulous, and Seldom a Day Passes, but some Persons are Shot by their Friends, once more, therefore, the Gen'l In- treats the Officers to prevent it and call upon the Soldiers to forbear this Practice. Pieces that can not be drawn are to be discharged in a Volley at Retreat Beating, and not otherwise, and then by Command of their Officer. The loss of two Gen'l Officers by the late Action having occasioned a necessary change in the Brigades, the Brigade Maj'rs are to attend at 10 o'clock tomorrow, to receive a New arrangement.

Those not supplied with Barracks to apply to Mr. Bow- back, Barrack Master, Officers & Men are charged to see as little damage as possible done to Horses where they are Quartered. Gen'l Wadsworth to send 2 Reg'ts from his Brigade to Reinforce Coll. Sergeant at Horse's Head as soon as possible.

Sterling's Brigade, and the whole to Parade on the Parade lately assigned by him to them, then they are to Act under Gen'l Mifflin, as a Reserve Corps. The Reg'ts of Gen'l Nixon's Brigade are to Join Gen'l Spencer's Divi sion, who will assign them their Alarm Posts, The Jersey Troops to Join McDougal's Brigade, and Parade at or near s'd Gen'ls.

Maj'r Lord will supply from Gen'l Woolcot's Brigade an Officer and 6 Men to each Boat, to bring Boats Back, except those that are ordered to stay. The Gen'l acquaints the Army that ye Removal from Long Island was made by the Unanimous advice of all the Gen'l Officers, not from any Doubt of the Spirit of the Troops, but because they found the Troops were very much Fatigued with hard Duty, and Divided into many De tachments, while the Enemy had their Main Body on the Island, and cap able of receiving assistance from their Shiping, in these Circumstances it was thought unsafe to Transport the whole_ or our Army on an Island, or to Engage them with a part, and therefore unequal numbers, Whereas now our whole Army is Collected together, without intervening Water, the Enemy can receive little Assistance from their Ships, their Army is and must be divided into many Bodies and Fatigued with keeping up a Communication with their Ships, whereas ours is Connected, and can Act together and they must Effect a landing under so many Disadvantages that if Officers and Soldiers are Vigilent & Alert to Prevent Surprise, and Act with Spirit when they approach, there is no doubt of our Success.

WASHINGTON TO THE N. Y. COMMITTEE OF SAFETY. (Wood's " First Settlements on Long Island," p. 136) Three days after the Battle of Long Island Abraham Yates, Jr., of the New York Committee of Safety, wrote to Washington from King's Bridge stating that the Committee had ordered out the Militia in all the Counties near New York City. On the same day Washington sent this reply : August 30th, 1776. Sir — Your favor of this date is just come to hand. Circumstanced as this army was, in respect to situation, strength, &c. it was the unanimous advice of a council of general officers, to give up Long Island, and not by dividing our force, be unable to resist the enemy in any one point of attack. This reason, added to some others, particularly the fear of having our communication cut off from the main of which there seemed to be no small probability, and the extreme fatigue our troops were laid under in guarding such extensive lines without proper shelter from the weather, induced the above resolution. It is the most intricate thing in the world, sir, to know in what manner to con duct one's self with respect to the militia. If you do not begin many days before they are wanted to raise them, you cannot have them in time. If you do, they get tired and return, besides being under very little order or government whilst in service. However, if the enemy have a design of serving us at this place, as we apprehend they meant to do on Long Island, it might not be improper to have a body in readiness, to prevent or retard a landing of them east of Harlaem river, if need be. In haste, and not a little fatigued, I remain, with great respect and esteem, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, George Washington. The hon. Abraham Yates, Esq. 38 GEN. WASHINGTON TO MAJ.

D., Pastor Emeritus of the Presbyterian Church at Southold, L. I. ; Williston Walker D. D., Professor of Church History at the Divinity School, Yale University; and Charles E. Craven, D. D., Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Mattituck, L. I. Frederic G. Mather, Esq., Southold, N. Y., Jan. :i, 1912. My dear Friend. — Your statement sent to me in relation to Presbyterians and Congregationalists on Long Island seems to me fair, and sufficient for all who have any considerable knowledge of the early history of the Puritan Churches of New England and Long Island. All these early Churches were neither Presbyterian nor Congregational in the general meaning of those words in their present use. They were Town Churches; i. e. Civil Government Churches. The Civil Government gave to the Pastors a settlement. Southold, for instance, .gave to the Rev. Joshua Hobart, its second Pastor, a costly dwelling house, and land enough to make him a prominent man among its more wealthy citizens. This settlement was to enable him to give his time, thought and work to the moral and religious education and culture of the people. The Town collected a tax from the citizens and paid the Pastor his salary. The bond of union of these Churches was the Civil Govern ment of the Colony over all the Towns. With grateful acknowledgment of your courtesy, believe me, Yours truly, Epher Whitaker. My dear Mr. Mather: — New Haven, Conn., January 17, 1912. I have glanced over with interest the section of Chapter 16 which you enclosed. I am not very familiar with Long Island history; but I have always supposed that the change of the Congregational Churches of Long Island to Presbyterian affilia tions was largely due to the cordiality and nearness of Presbyterian associations in Colonial days, and after the establishment of the United States. The possession of elders was not peculiar to Presbyterians. All the early Con gregational Churches had ruling elders, as they were called; though the difference between Presbyterianism and Congregationalism was that Congregationalism was uncertain whether these elders were ministers or laymen, whereas Presbyterianism was quite convinced that they were laymen. In the case of Congregationalism, as in that of Presbyterianism, their primary work was that of discipline. In the Congregational Churches they died out, in most instances, with the passing away of the first, or at most with the second, generation; though, in a few instances, they continued much longer. But all the Congregational Churches had ruling elders at the beginning. Their normal officers were Pastor, teacher, ruling elder or elders, and deacons. So that I do not think that that can be made the ground of distinction. On the other hand, after the formatioc of the Saybrook Platform in Connecticut, in 1708, the Churches of Connecticut felt more sympathy in some respects with the Presbyterian Churches of the Middle States than they did with the Congregationalism of Massachusetts. The chief distinction between them and the Presbyterianism of the Middle States was that Presbyterianism had a more elaborate system of courts. For instance, the Presbyterian scheme included a Session in the local congregation, a Presbytery higher than that, and a Svnod above that, with ultimately, though not at first in this country, a General Assembly. The Saybrook system had no Session in the local congregation ; but it had what roughly corresponded to the Presbytery, in an organization that did not exist in Massachusetts, viz., that Documentary — Appendix H — 40 1 07 7 called a Consociation. That is, the Churches and Ministers of the County, or a part of a County (e. g., Fairfield, East and West), were united for disciplinary pur poses in a Consociation, including the Pastor of each Church and a representative from each Church in the district. To this body, and to no other, were cases of discipline appealed from particular Churches, referred. So far did this sympathy with Presbyterianism go that, in 1766, an annual Joint Convention of representatives of the Synod of New York and Philadelphia and the Associations of Connecticut was formed which met regularly until 1775. This was designed to oppose possible attack from Episcopal sources in England; and necessity for it passed away with the Revolution. Its Minutes were published in 1843, at Hartford, by the Rev. David D. Field, as " Minutes of the Convention of Delegates from the Synod of New York and Philadelphia and the Associations of Connecticut." In 1799, the Hartford North Association voted formally " That the Constitution of the Churches of the State of Connecticut . . . . is not Congregational, but contains the essentials of the Church _ of Scotland or Presbyterian Church in America, par ticularly as it gives a decisive power to Ecclesiastical Councils; and a Consociation consisting of Ministers and messengers, or a lay representaton from the Churches is possessed of substantially the same authority as a Presbytery." In 1790, the General Association of Connecticut voted that a further degree of union with the Presbyterians was desirable; and, in 1792 and 1793, the General Association of Connecticut and the Presbyterian General Assembly began an exchange of delegates. The Congregational Churches of Connecticut were popularly known as Presbyterian; and in the first Hartford Directory, for instance, which, as I recollect it, is of 1826, the Churches appear as North Presbyterian, Brick Presbyterian, etc. So far as I am aware, a good many of the Churches of Long Island retained their Congre gationalism down into the nineteenth century. The best account that I know of these Churches, which is a brief one, is in George Punchard's " History of Con gregationalism," Boston 1880. Vol. 4, pp. 441—468. Yours sincerely, Williston Walker. My dear Mr. Mather: Mattituck, N. Y., Jan. ioth, 1912. On Long Island the apparent readiness to adopt the Presbyterian form was true as to some Churches: Southampton, Setauket, Hempstead, Jamaica and Mattituck. But it was not true in Southold, which did not join the Presbytery until 1832; or Orient, which is still Congregational; or Cutchogue, Cong'l until 1848; or Shelter Island, Cong'l until 181,2; or Sag Harbor, Cong'l until 1811; or Huntington, Cong'l until 1748, 30 years after its first opportunity. The fact seems to be that all these Churches had both elements in them; in some pretty evenly divided, in some one or "the other element preponderating. In the Hamptons and Setauket, the Presby terians evidently preponderated. In Southold, the Congregationalists did. My sup position as to Southold Town is that the people who came from the old village to settle Mattituck^ in 1661, were the Presbyterian part of the Church. They joined the Presbytery at the first opportunity; while the old Church and its other daughters held to their Independency for years, although they were generally served by Presbyterian Ministers who tried to carry them into the Presbytery. Some years ago, I prepared for the Manual of our Presbytery this historical sketch : — The Presbytery of Long Island was one of the four bodies into which the original Presbytery of Philadelphia resolved itself in 1 7 1 6 to form the Synod of Philadelphia. The Rev. George McNish, of Jamaica, the Rev. Samuel Pumry, of Newtown, and the Rev. George Phillips, of Setauket, constituted the Presbytery, and ordained and installed Samuel Gelston in Southampton and Joseph Lamb in Mattituck within the first year. The Presbytery was further increased in 1717 by the settlement of the Rev, James Anderson in New York City. The records of the Presbytery were reviewed by the Synod year after year, but are lost. In 1738 the Presbytery of Long Island, " being reduced so that a quorum cannot statedly meet about business," was united with the Presbytery of East Jersey to form the Presbytery of New York. There were many churches on the Island but most of them were independent. On April 8th, 1747, six ministers of Suffolk County met at Southampton and constituted the Suffolk Presbytery. From that date we have continuous presbyterial records. In 1749 the Suffolk Presbytery joined the Synod of New York. In 1789, by action of the Synod of New York and New Jersey, the Suffolk Presbytery became the Presbytery of Long Island. The Presbytery of Long Island at its organization in 1790 consisted of twelve ministers and the following thirteen churches: Newtown, Huntington, Hempstead, Jamaica, Smithtown, Brookhaven (Setauket), South Haven, Bridgehampton, West Hampton, Southampton, East Hampton, Aquebogue (Jamesport), and Mattituck. The ministers of Southold, Oyster Ponds (Orient), and Cutchogue were members, but their churches were independent though affiliated with the Presbytery. In 1832 the Presbytery was divided, the western churches being set apart as the Second Presbytery of Long Island. At the rending of the church in 1837 the Presbytery of Long Island adhered to the New School Assembly. In 1839 the five churches south of Peconic Bay with their ministers became the Presbytery of Long Island (O. S.), and, two years later, were united with the Second Presbytery, forming the Presbytery of Long Island (O. S.). The ministers and churches north of Peconic Bay continued as the Presbytery of Long Island (N. S.). At the Re union of 1870 the Western part of the Old School Presbytery became the Presbytery of Nassau; the eastern part, witja the new school body, formed the present Presbytery of Long Island. Sincerely yours, Charles E. Craven. APPENDIX I Civil and Military Biographies — Addenda — Errata. CIVIL AND MILITARY BIOGRAPHIES The following brief Biographical Sketches bring together, in one place, nearly all the activities of those named therein — activities in various lines, as described in the preceding pages of this work. The Sketches are limited, almost exclusively, to such activities. Therefore, but little is related which can be found in Biographies already published. In these Sketches, references to the several Appendixes are not made as in Part One — (Appendix A. 16, or Ap. A. 16); but simply — (A. 1 6). [Note. — The consecutive numbers are for convenience, in reference.] ALLEN ETHAN, COL.— He was b. at Litchfield, Conn., Jan. io, 1737. In early life, he removed to Bennington, Vt., then in territory claimed by both N. Y. and N. H. He took sides against N. Y., and he was really an outlaw in N. Y. when he captured Ticonderoga, in 1775. (Pages 22, 23) His " Green Mountain Boys " then became a part of the Militia of N. Y. (G. 55) He operated in the Northern Dept. (Pages 25, 26) In Sept., 1775, he was captured, and sent, as a Prisoner, to England, Halifax and New York. In May, 1778, he was a Prisoner on L. I. (" Conn. Men in the Rev'n."); but he was soon exchanged. The Cont'l Cong, made him a Lt. Col. in the Cont'l Army. After the peace, while a Member of the U. S. Cong., he secured the recognition of Vt. as an independent State. See Lossing's "• Field Book," 1. 161, 180. Also " N. Y. State Sons of Rev'n, Year Book — 1909 ," p. 307. He d. Feb. 13, 1785. His portrait and autograph are on Page 22. The portrait is taken from his statue in Montpelier, Vt. Always a picturesque figure, he was never more so than when he was a Prisoner. (Pages 126, 387) Soon after the Evacuation of N. Y. City, he visited Rivington, the Tory printer, " for the purpose of administering a licking." Rivington described the interview thus: I was sitting alone after a good dinner, with a bottle of Madeira before me, when I heard an unusual noise in the street and a huzza from the boys. # I was in the second story, and stepping to the window, I saw a tall figure in tarnished regimentals, with a large cocked hat and an enormous long sword, followed by a crowd of boys, who occasionally cheered him with huzzas of which he seemed insensible. He came up to my door and stopped. I could see no more; my heart told me it was Ethan Allen; I shut my window and retired behind my table and bottle. I was certain that the hour of reckoning had come. There was no retreat. Mr. Staples, my clerk, came in paler than ever, and claspinghis hands, said: " Master, he has come." " I know it." " He entered the store and asked if James Rivington lived there. I answered, * Yes sir.' ' Is he at home ? ' 'I will go and see, sir,' I said; and now, Master what is to be done? There he is at this very moment in the store, and the boys are peeping at him from the street." I had made up my_ mind. I looked at the Madeira — -possibly took a glass. " Show him up." I said. " and if such Madeira cannot mollify him, he must be harder than adamant." There was a fearful moment of suspense. I heard him on the stairs, his long sword clanking at every step. In he stalked. " Is your name James Riving ton ? " " It is, sir, and no man can be more happyto see Colonel Ethan Allen." " Sir I have come " " Not another word. Colonel, until you have taken a seat and a glass of old Madeira." "But, sir, I don't think it proper ¦ " " Not another word. Colonel; taste this wine; I have had it in glass ten years. Old wine, you know, unless it is originally sound, never improves by age." He took the glass, swallowed the wine, smacked his lips and shook his head approvingly. " Sir, I come " " Not another word, until you have taken another glass, and then, my dear Colonel, we will talk of the old affairs; and I have some queer events to detail "; in short, we finished two bottles of Madeira, and parted as good friends as if we never had cause to be otherwise.

Many relics of tho.se days are in the New London Co., Conn., Hist'l. Soc'y. (Page 198) As Capt. of a Company, he marched to Cambridge after the Lexington Alarm. (Page 22) He was with Allen at Ticonderoga (Pages 22, 24, 26); and with Montgomery before Quebec. (Page 25) In Oct., 1776, his Fleet checked Carleton, on Lake Champlain. (Page 60) In the next year, he did splendid service at Ft. Schuyler and Saratoga. (Pages 66, 73) He was Military Gov. of Philadelphia, in 1778. (Page 78) He was made a Brig. Gen. in the Cont'l Army, Jan. 10, 1776; and a Maj. Gen., Feb. 17, 1777. He held the latter office until his desertion, at West Point, in 1780. (Pages 80, 87) His action is said to have been caused by neglect on the part of the Cont'l Cong. (Hall's " Life of Gen. S. H. Parsons," p. 139. Also Sparks' "Life and Treason of Arnold") Early in 1781, as a Brig. Gen. in the British Army, he made several raids along the Chesapeake Bay (Page 81); and, later in the year, he made the more notable raid on New London, Conn. (Pages 198, 199, 218, 234, 235, 236, 256) He d. in Eng., June 14, 1801. (Lossing's "Field Book," 1. 421, 710) His portrait and autograph are on Page 71. At the time they were friends, Washington gave a pair of gold cuff-links to him. After his desertion, he gave the links to a friend; and they are now the property of Gen. James Grant Wilson, of N. Y. City. It is said to have been his last request that the epaulettes and sword-knot which Washington had given him might be brought. " Let me die," said he, " in my old American uniform, in which I fought my battles. God forgive me for ever having put on any other." (Montgomery's " American Hist.," p. 180) 2 BANCKER GERARD, TREAS'R — He was Treas'r of the Province of N. Y., and the first Treas'r of the State of N. Y., an office which he held, 1777-1798. After being properly audited, he paid many of the claims of the Refugees. (C. 4, 14, 17. 95. 180, 217, 218) In 1779, he paid money, from the Saybrook Committee, to Selah Strong, Treas'r of Suffolk Co., N. Y. (Page 170) An outline of his work, and a second autograph, are on Pages 134, 136. He was a son of Gerardus (fl / e^l / /2/> ft, Bancker. He was b.

(Page 202); and, same year, he tried to have Gov. Tryon modify the Oath of Allegiance. (Page 117) He was executor of the estate of his father. (See Capt. Elias, above) He practised as a physician. (Page 180) It is a well known fact that, after the Battle of L. I., he did more to mitigate the sufferings of the people in East Hampton than anybody else ; and that, while very many left he decided to remain. He was a remarkable man; and he wielded a power, in East Hampton, unequalled by any other. (Mr. Charles R. Dayton) Census of 1776: Males — above 50 years, 1; under 16, 2.

GEN.— He was at Cambridge, in 1775 (Page 24); and at the North, in 1776. (Page 26) The events which led up to his unfortunate Expedition from Canada, in 1777, and the surrender at Saratoga are narrated on Pages 20, 23, 38, 65, 66, 68, 72-75. The powder that was used against him was sent from Albany (Page no); and the bullets were made from the statue of George III. (Page 113) The news of the surrender was received by the American Prisoners in N. Y. City. (Page 126) Lossing (" Field Book," 1. 37) gives an interesting story of his life. He was b. Feb. 24, 1723; d. Aug. 4, 1792. His portrait and autograph are on Page 71. BURR AARON, COL.— For his Military career, consult " N. Y. State Cincinnati."

He was a Minister at Ridgebury, Conn. During his captivity, he certified to the kindness shown to the Prisoners in N. Y. City by William Irving, father of Washington Irving. Afterward, he was a Minister in Westchester Co., N. Y. ; in Vt.; and at Duanesburgh, N. Y. (Fairfield Co., Conn., Hist'l Soc'y Report. 1891-1892. pp. 3-45) 3 CARLETON, SIR GUY, LT. GEN.— In 1775, he was the English Gov. of Canada. (Page 25) His operations at the North were checked by Arnold, in 1776. (Pages 38, 60) He was refused the command of the Burgoyne Expedition, in 1777. (Page 68) In 1782, he was called from Canada to take the place of Sir Henry Clinton in N. Y. City. (Page 83) On Nov. 16, 1783, he met Washington at Dobb's Ferry, N. Y., to arrange for the Evacuation of N. Y. City. (Pages 83, 184) In the same month, he gave notice to Gov. CHnton that he intended to evacuate the Eastern end of L. I. (Pages 178, 192) He signed a return of the Loyalists who had left the country. (Page 148) His Board for the Adjustment of Claims against the British Army sailed away, in 1783, without paying them.

Feb. 3, 1869. Her portrait and autograph are on Page 191. CLINTON GEORGE, BRIG. GEN and GOV.— He was a Delegate to the Cont'l Cong., in 1775. (A. 60) On Aug. 8, 1776, he was appointed to command all the Levies raised in the Counties of Ulster, Orange and West chester, which he resigned, May 9, 1777, having been appointed to the Cont'l Army. (Proceedings Prov'l Conv'n. Also Clinton Pap.) He was appointed a Cont'l Brig. Gen. Mar. 25, 1777; and his term of service expired, Nov. 3, 1783. (Page 87) While he was in Westchester Co., window leads for bullets were sent to him from N. Y. City. (Page 112) He took part in the Battle of L. I., Aug. 27, 1776 (Pages 38, 40); and his name appears frequently in Gen. Washington's Order Book. (H. 36) In Sept., after the Battle, he was asked by Washington, to plan an Expedition from Conn, to L. I. to attack the enemy; and John Sloss Hobart complained to him that it had been abandoned. (Page 220) On Sept. 3, the N. Y. Committee of Safety ordered him to detain the scattered men of the L. I. Regts. of Cols. Smith and Remsen; and, on Sept. 18, he replied that none of the men had joined him. (Pages 173, 572, 1082 The Refugees of .1776 from Long Island to Connecticut ,573) In Oct., John Sloss Hobart wrote him that the scattered men were to meet at New Haven; whereupon, he ordered Col. Henry B. Livingston to take them in charge. (Page 90) He had other dealings with Hobart. (Pages 402, 403) His defensive work in the Highlands was interrupted, July 30, 1777, by his taking the oath as first Gov. of the newly organized State of N. Y. This office he held until 1804, with the exception of the intervening term of- John Jay, 1795-1801. One of his first duties was to issue commissions to officers in the State Militia. (Page 89) Returning to the Highlands, he took part in the defence of Forts Clinton and Montgomery; and barely escaped capture when they fell, in Oct., 1777. (Pages 64, 65) In 1778, he advised Washing ton to fortify West Point. (Page 76) Same year, he commissioned Capt. David Landon to take the effects of the enemy on L. I. Sound. (Page 222) In 1780, he helped to drive Brant and Johnson away from the Mohawk Valley. (Page 80) Same year, the American officers who were Prisoners on L. I. petitioned him for relief; which he gave by pledging the faith of the State for moneys advanced. (Pages 123, 124, 126) In 1781, Gen. Heath reported the capture of Ft. Slongo, L. I. (Pages 236, 237) He often asked the advice of Judge William Smith, of L. I. (Page 576) In Nov., 1783, Sir Guy Carleton wrote to him that the enemy would soon evacute the Eastern end of L. I. (Page 178) Anticipating the evac uation of N. Y. City, several congratulatory addresses were sent to him. (B. 41, 42) -He took a prominent part in the public exercises on Evacuation Day, Nov. 25, 1783 (Page 185); and in the festivities which followed. (C. 219, 220, 221) His work relating to the Refugees from L. I. to Conn, was complicated. In 1779, many of them petitioned for leave to buy bread in the State of N. Y. (B. 3) He voluntarily assisted, or was asked to assist, the following: Col. Benjaniin Birdsall (Page 270); Qr. Mr. Nehemiah Carpenter (Page 288); Dr. Joseph Crane (Page 319); Mrs. Everett (Page 335); Lt. Heathcote Muir son (Page 476); Dr. Joseph Sackett and Adj't. Peter Sackett (Page 544); and Mrs. Abigail T. Woolsey. (Pages 648, 649) He arranged exchanges of land, in Dutchess Co., between the Refugees and the disaffected. (Page 398) Capt. John Grinnell was asked to act as a spy. (Page 373) He employed Capt. Nathaniel Norton, in various ways (Page 483); and recom mended Lt. Henry Scudder. (Page 556) In 1778, Gen. Parsons wrote to him, opposing the predatory excursions to L. I.; and, in 1779, Gov. CUnton was asked, by the N. Y. Legislature, to forbid them. (Page 207) In 1781, he corresponded with Gov. Trumbull, of Conn., as to stopping them (Page 208); and he complained of George Howell. (Page 412) In 1781, Lt. Caleb Brewster wrote him as to the raids on Miller's Place, Oyster Bay and Great Neck — all on L. I. Protests against the plunderers also came from Shelter Island, Southampton and Southold, L. I. (Pages 204, 205) Same year, Maj. John Davis and Capt. John Grinnell wrote as to the removals from L. I. to Conn. (Page 192) It is evident that both he and Gov. Trumbull used the Illicit Trade to secure clothing for the Army. (Page 212) See " N. Y. State Sons of Rev'n Year Book — 1909," p. 377. His " Public Papers " were printed by the State of N. Y., in 1899, under the direction of Hon. Hugh Hastings, the State Historian. Vol. 1 of the "Papers " gives an outline of his ancestry. His portrait, as Brig. Gen. is on Page 63; and his portrait, as Gov., on Page 133. His autographs are on Pages 63, 89, 123 and 133. It is probable that Mrs. Clinton was a Refugee to Sharon, Conn. (Page 295) He was b. in Ulster Co., now a part of Orange Co., N. Y., July 26, 1739. He served in the French War. The statement that he was appointed Maj. Gen. by brevet in the Cont'l Army, Sept. 30, 1783, is not confirmed by the official records. He was a Member of the N. Y. State Cincinnati. While Gov., he held the somewhat inconsistent office of Clerk of Ulster Co. It is to the credit of Gov. Clinton that a careful estimate of his services to the State makes it appear that if the offices he held had been held consecutively, instead of overlapping, his term of office-holding was about 90 years. (Page 448. Also " N. Y. in the Rev'n — Spt.", pp. 161, 162) In 1805, he was Documentary — Appendix I ¦ — 3 1 083 elected Vice-Pres't of the U. S.; and re-elected, in 1808. He d. in office, Apr. 20, 1 81 2; and was buried in the old Congressional Cemetery, at Wash ington. In 1908, the monument and his remains were removed to the old Dutch Churchyard, in Kingston, N. Y. The monument bears this inscription: To the Memory of George Clinton. He was born in the State of New York, on the 26th July, 1739, and died at the city of "Washington on the 20th April, 1812, in the 73d year of his age. He was a soldier and statesman of the Revolution, eminent in council, distinguished in war, he filled with unexampled usefulness, purity and ability, among many other high offices, those of Governor of his native State, and of Vice-President of the United States. _ While he lived, his virtue, wisdom, and valor, were the pride, the ornament and security of his country, and when he died, he left an illustrious example of a well spent life, worthy of all imitation. This monument is affectionately dedicated by his children. CLINTON, SIR HENRY, LT. GEN.— He assisted Gen. Gage in opposing the Americans at Cambridge, in 1775. (Page 24) Early in 1776, he attacked Charleston, S. C. ; but, being repulsed, he returned to N. Y. City. (Pages 30, 38) He took part in the Battles of L. I. and White Plains. (Pages 38, 44, 58) Being now in command of the British forces in, and about, N. Y. City, he made his headquarters at the Beekman House. (Page 181) As a part of his plan to meet Burgoyne at Albany, in 1777, he advanced to the Highlands, captured Forts Clinton and Montgomery, and burned Kings ton. (Pages 64, 65, 76); but he returned to N. Y. after the disaster to Burgoyne. (Pages 66, 72, 73, 74) In 1778, he took command at Philadelphia until it was evacuated. (Pages 77, 78) Same year, he was in the Battle of Monmouth; and he threatened Newport, R. I. (Page 78) In 1779, he took certain troops to Suffolk Co., L. I., and ordered the cutting of wood (Pages 176, 330) ; he sent a party to Conn, to capture Gen. Silliman (Page 205) ; and his schooner was commanded by Capt. Daniel Rice. (B. 24) Same year, he captured Stony Point, N. Y.; but soon abandoned it. (Pages 79, 80) He captured Charleston, in 1780 (Page 80); and, same year, conferred with Arnold as to the surrender of West Point. (Pages 80, 87) Early in 1781, he was deceived by false dispatches, and thus allowed Washington and his Army to escape to the South for the final campaign in Va. (Page 82) Per haps to offset this, he selected Arnold for the raid on New London, Conn. (Page 234) He had a " Secret Record," relative to spies. (Page 92. Also H. 35) Owing to his humane disposition, he was often appealed to in favor of American Prisoners of War — as in the case of Gen. Parsons for Col. Benjamin Birdsall. (Page 270) It may have been this very humanity that caused him, in 1782, to be superseded by Sir Guy Carleton, at N. Y. (Page 83) He was b. in 1738; d. Dec. 23, 1795. His portrait and auto graph are on Page 63. CLINTON JAMES, MAJ. GEN.— He was Col. of the 3d N. Y. Line, 1775-1776. (G. 45) He was appointed Brig.

(Page 87) While Col., his Regt. was supplied with arms taken from the Tories. (Page 104) In 1776, he took part in the Battle of L. I. and in the operations in, and near, N. Y. City. (Pages 38, 56) I In 1777, he was prominent in the defence of the Highlands. (Pages 64, 65) 'He recommended Nehemiah Carpenter as Qr. Mr. (Page 288) In 1779, he joined Sullivan's Expedition against the hostile Iroquois. (Page 80. Also " Sullivan's Expedition," p. 387) See " N. Y. State Sons of Rev'n.

GENERAL INDEX Explanation — As a matter of convenience to the reader (See Pages 7 and 8), this Index does not contain references, to the several Appendixes in the case of the Refugees and those, not Refugees, who appear in Appendix I. For example — the Index has: " Haines DANIEL (bi. 374 a. 374)" and " Haines Daniel 373 375." The capitals indicate the Refugee; and the figures show that his biography and autograph are on Page 374. Turning to that Page, we find therein all references to him in the Appendixes; and all references to him elsewhere, unless something has been discovered later. In such instances, other references follow the parentheses. Thus the biography serves as an individual Index for the man. The second quotation, above, " Haines Daniel 373 375 " probably refers to some other Daniel; although Daniel, the Refugee, may appear also — no name being indexed more than once on a Page. Therefore, both the biography and Pages 373 and 375 should be consulted. Aside from those who have biographies, all others are named in the Index. The value of this is seen, more particularly, in the Military Service on Long Island (Appendix G.) and in the Associations (Appendix H.). When all the names in this Index had been assembled, it was found that some of the women had been married. It was then too late to make the additional statement in the biographies. This has been corrected by double- indexing — both maiden and married names being given. A middle initial often stands for the maiden name; but the maiden name is given, also. With few exceptions, the Civil and Military titles are given as they stood during the Revolutionary War; even if higher titles were held, later. Civil titles precede Military titles, according to the custom of that time. As reference to a book is not to a Page in that book, but to a Page in this book. A Genealogy ("Gen.") indicates the generally accepted Genealogy of a Family. Historical compilations, issued by the United States, or by a State, are indexed under the name of the editor — as, Fernow, O'Callaghan, etc. The names of the Refugees are in capital letters. Full lists of the Refugees are on Pages 1201-1204. Abbreviations — The general list of Abbreviations is on Page 11 10. The following are used in this Index, only: a. Autograph bi. Biography h.

Y., J. E. LYON COMPANY, PRINTERS, 1913 THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS WORK The Refugees sympathized with the American side during the Revolutionary War. They were safe at their homes on Long Island aj long as the operations of the War were confined to the vicinity of Boston; and, being safe, they persecuted the Tories who opposed them. After the evacuation of Boston, the British Army fought the Battle of Long Island, on August 27, 1776; and, later, they captured Fort Washington. These victories gave them the control of Long Island and New York City throughout the War. The people on the Island were obliged to take the Oath of Allegiance to the Crown, or to flee. This work is the story of those who fled. Little concerning the Refugees was known until Henry Onderdonk, Jr., made numerous Notes in his " Revolutionary Incidents of Suffolk Co., N. Y." These Notes were often quoted by the several historians of Long Island; but the source of the Notes was a mystery. Indeed, it seemed as if no further information would be found. About the year 1900, Mr. Mather was preparing for publication the book known as "New York in the Revolution — •Supplement." The Original Documents on which it was based were in charge of the Comptroller of the State of New York, at Albany.

They were safe at their homes on Long Island a., long as the operations of the War were confined to the vicinity of Boston; and, being safe, they persecuted the Tories who opposed them. After the evacuation of Boston, the British Army fought the Battle of Long Island, on August 27, 1776; and, later, they captured Fort Washington. These victories gave them the control of Long Island and New York City throughout the War. The people on the Island were obliged to take the Oath of Allegiance to the Crown, or to flee. This work is the story of those who fled. Little concerning the Refugees was known until Henry Onderdonk, Jr., made numerous Notes in his " Revolutionary Incidents of Suffolk Co., N. Y." These Notes were often quoted by the several historians of Long Island; but the source of the Notes was a mystery. Indeed, it seemed as if no further information would be found. About the year 1900 , Mr. Mather was preparing for publication the book known as "New York in the Revolution — Supplement." The Original Documents on which it was based were in charge of the Comptroller of the State of New York, at Albany. Among the Documents were many bundles marked " Refugees from Long Island." These papers were claims against the State for the expenses of removal to Connecticut. But few of them were printed in the " Supplement." All of them, however, were copied; and the copies were compared with the originals. The copies appear in Appendix C of this work. It was fortunate that they were made, for nearly all of the originals were destroyed by the fire which swept the State Library, in 191 1. 2 The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Conn. — (Prospectus) The source of nearly all of Onderdonk's Notes was found in Original Docu ments owned by the Connecticut State Library and the Connecticut Historical Society, both at Hartford. Copies of them appear in Appendixes D., E. and F. Appendixes A. and B. give all the information, as to the Refugees, that could be found in the Records of New York. Appendix G. gives the Military service of all the soldiers on Long Island; and the service of the Refugees elsewhere. Appendix H. contains important Miscellaneous Documents, in cluding the Associators and the Non-Associators on Long Island. Appendix I. (Page 9 of this Prospectus) gives brief Civil and Military biographies of those not Refugees, who appear prominently in this work. Appendix J. is a cata logue of the illustrations; from which it appears that there are nearly 900 — including 115 portraits, 559 autographs, 77 houses, &c. The several Appen dixes known as Part 3 — -Documentary, cover Pages 691-1110. They are the foundation of the book — ¦ the proof of many statements that are made in the text. Pages 1111-1200 carry the General Index of nearly 20,000 names. Part 2 — Biographical occupies Pages 239-690. Here we have condensed biographies of the 81 Captains of Ships and nearly all of the 1274 Refugees (Pages 5-8 of this Prospectus). The biographies aim to give the descent of the Refugees from the emigrant ancestor to America, incidents of their lives and the names of many of their living descendants. Part 2, therefore, is a biographical cyclopedia of those families on Long Island which had repre sentatives among the Refugees. As the heads of families were usually named, the number (1274) does not indicate all of the Refugees. There were between 5000 and 6000 of them, or nearly half the population of Suffolk County at that time. Of the 1274, 150 (a partial list only) were from New York City. The time spent upon Part 3 — Biographical was more than half of the five years which were required to complete the work. The correspondence included thousands of letters. It is believed that the biographies are as accurate as it has been possible to make them. Part 1 — Historical gives a History of the War, in outline (Chapters 1-6), to show the relative importance of the Battle of Long Island and the Loss of New York City which were re sponsible for the fact that there were Refugees. Certain little known phases of the War are describedinChapters7-i2. In Chapters 13-20 the history of the Refugees is given. Finally, Chapters 21-26, we trace the local conduct of the War on Long Island, in Connecticut and in Westchester County, N. Y. — wherein many of the Refugees took a, prominent part. Many maps are printed; of which the most interesting (Page 161) shows Long Island and Connecticut as they were in 1774. As a whole, the material used in this work is original. Nearly all of the Documents in the Appendixes have not been printed before. All of the resources in sight have been exhausted. It may be that, in the future, the con tents of somebody's attic will shed more light on the sub ject.
