The Horse in Colonial New England (from a complete study on horses) http://www.imh.org/imh/kyhpl1b.html [homepage] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New England & the Horse is Chapter 3 http://www.imh.org/imh/kyhpl3a.html The Narragansett Pacer - the First Truly American Breed of Horse The Narragansett Pacer Began America's Fame as a Horse-Breeding Country. The name of the Narragansett Pacer comes from the area in which they were bred: the Narragansett Bay area of Rhode Island. George Washington owned a Narragansett pacer which he raced in 1768. In 1772, Edmund Burke, the famous English political philosopher, begged an American friend to send him a pair of these horses. A Narragansett Pacer is reputed to have served as Paul Revere's mount on his famous ride. The origin of the Narragansett Pacer has been argued for centuries. Its ancestors were probably among the English and Dutch horses which arrived in Massachusetts between 1629 and 1635. They were famous saddlehorses providing a comfortable gait, and were sure-footed, and long on endurance. The Narragansett Pacers carried people and goods through rutted and muddy paths. These horses were the only means to get to market or to the neighbor or to the doctor on most days of the year. More at site on Narragansett pace4r January 22, 1673 - The First Post Rider in America When the colonies in the Northeast were first settled in the early 1600s, the communities lying between Boston and New York were virtually isolated from one another. On January 22, 1673, Governor Francis Lovelace of New York dispatched the first post rider to effectively connect New York and Boston, and provide mail service for the settlements which lay on the way. The route taken by this first post rider carried him to New Haven, Hartford, and then Springfield, Massachusetts. The route then followed the "Bay Path," a former Indian trail, on to Boston. This route was known as the Upper Boston Post Road, and the total journey from New York to Boston was some 250 miles. The post rider remained the principle means of communication in colonial America, and his services were not replaced until improved roads permitted stagecoach travel in the late 1700's. 1674 - Plymouth Law Prohibits Running Horses in the Streets Many towns and cities in America have streets called "Race Street". Such streets gained their names from the habit of running horse races on them. In 1674, the citizens of Plymouth evidently grew tired or frightened of the races in their villages, and created an ordinance forbidding racing. However, the sting of the fine or the humiliation of the stocks did not seem to discourage the colonial racing enthusiasts. About a century later, Connecticut enacted a law which demanded the forfeit of a man's horse, in addition to a fine of forty shillings, if he was caught racing in the streets. Above excerpts is a sampling. The site is tremendous. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --

William Bond, MA - son of Jonas & Hannah Bond, Colonel 25th Reg. Rev War BIOGRAPHY William Bond lived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1768 and was probably the son of Jonas and Hannah Bond. He was a captain in the military in 1774. In July, 1775, he held the rank of lieutenant colonel, second-in-command, in the 37th Regiment of Foot (infantry) in General George Washington's Continental Army. After the death of the regiment's commander, Colonel Thomas Gardner, Bond was promoted to colonel and took over command. After November, 1775, Bond's regiment was renamed the 25th Regiment and remained camped at Prospect Hill, Massachusetts, during the winter of 1775-1776. William Bond and the 25th Regiment participated in the campaign to conquer Canada during 1776. Congress had requested that General Washington send four regiments to reinforce the army in Canada. On March 15, 1776, the 5th and 25th Regiments received orders from General Horatio Gates to march to Norwich, Connecticut. On March 30, the Massachusetts regiments led by William Bond, John Patterson and John Greaton, along with the New Hampshire regiment led by Enoch Poor, arrived in New York. On April 21, the four regiments sailed in sloops up the Hudson River to Albany under the command of General William Thompson. In early May, the 25th Regiment was preparing to cross into Canada by boat and reached Sorel by June 14, Chamblee by June 17, Isle aux Noix by June 18, and Crown Point by July 11. On August 10, the 25th Regiment was camped at Mount Independence, a hill near Fort Ticonderoga. The stagnant lakes and swamps around Mount Independence contributed to the diseases already suffered by the regiment, including smallpox. Desertions and discharges for medical reasons severly reduced troop strength. On August 31, 1776, Colonel William Bond died of illness at Mount Independence. Papers of William Bond (d.1776), Revolutionary Army officer and colonel in the 25th Regiment of Foot from Massachusetts. Bond led the regiment from July 1775 to August 31, 1776, when he died from an illness at Mount Independence near Fort Ticonderoga. http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/findaids/historical/bond

Dear Ann, As you can see in my message I was referring to snip < I am a direct line descendant of John Peter Bohrer b circa 1743 Frederick Co, MD - d circa 1798 Montgomery Co, MD; who according to NSDAR and other research was a Revolutionary War patriot.> end snip But in another of my lines I have another purported Revolutionary War patriot, Johannes Peter Uber who settled in PA after the war.

Cresap was a Marylander who recruited from there and from SW Pennsylvania which had a population some of whom claimed to be Virginians. His company was militia at first and only appear in the rolls in Washington after it was incorporated into the Continental Line after Cresap's death. Ann I can't remember the unit number right off but it was the one he recruited in June and marched to Massachusetts and was Captain of when he died. The link you sent me won't open for some reason. Any suggestions? One must be careful not to confuse this muster with another list dated 1775, the other one being a 1775 PAY list for Cresap and company's service in the Dunmore War of 1774. Some have confused the two. David Armstrong 201 Graham St. Elkins, WV 26241 Phone (304)-636-3964

Could SKS please tell me is there a list on-line of known Revolutionary War Veterans? Or a state by state or colony by colony listing? Deborah in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, USA

I would be interested if anybody knows about ANY muster rolls from the District of West Augusta, Virginia about 1776. Thanks. David Armstrong 201 Graham St. Elkins, WV 26241 Phone (304)-636-3964

Has anyone yet turned up a muster of Michael Cresap's Company that marched to Boston in 1775? Not the 1775 list for his company from the 1774 Dunmore War but the other one - the 1775 group? Thanks. David Armstrong 201 Graham St. Elkins, WV 26241 Phone (304)-636-3964

Hi, I reply to this message, the DAR Library Catalog does not provide information on whether or not someone has joined the DAR on a specific Revolutionary ancestor. The catalog is just the library's book, manuscript, microform, etc. holdings. While we have an internal database that lets us retrieve the ancestor information, this is not available for public use on the Internet. However, there is a free look-up service provided by DAR members. One may access this by going to the main DAR page at www.dar.org <http://www.dar.org> - on the FAR right-hand side is "Patriot Look-up Service." A volunteer will check for the requested information and get a response back quickly. It's been enormously popular. Eric G. Grundset Library Director DAR Library 1776 D St., N.W.
