PRESCOTT, DAWES AND PAUL REVERE p.66 - Prescott Memorial - John Prescott Line, Lancaster, MA Dr. Samuel Prescott b. Aug l9, l75l. On his return from Lexington in the night previous to the l9th of April, l775, where he had spent the evening in paying his addresses to the daughter of a Mr. Mulli- ken, he soon overtook Paul Revere and William Dawes on their way to Concord to alarm the people and apprise them of the intended expedition of the British soldiers upon Concord. When the three had arrived near Hart- well's tavern in the lower bounds of Lincoln they were attacked by four British officers of a scouting party sent out the preceding evening. Revere and Dawes were taken prisoners, Prescott was also attacked and had the reins of his horse's bridle cut, but he succeeded in making his escape by jumping his horse over the wall; and, taking a circuitous route through Lincoln, he push- ed on with the utmost speed to Concord and gave the alarm of the approach of the British. He was subsequently taken prisoner on board a privateer and carried to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he died in prison. __________________________________________________ PRESCOTT, DAWES AND REVERE - Another source Source: New England Editors of Time-Life Books, Time, Inc., New York. 1967 p.70 Plunging through the night, Paul Revere ended up in Lexington, arriving ahead of William Dawes. At the home of the Reverend Jonas Clarke, where Adams and Hancock were in hiding, he confirmed rumors that the British had taken the field. He and Dawes, joined by another rider, Dr. Samuel Prescott, then continued together toward Concord, only to encounter a British patrol. In the confusion, Prescott and Dawes escaped but Revere was taken to Lexington and - inexplicably - released. While Minutemen hurried to Buckman Tavern to await the British, Revere fled with Hancock and Adams. Painting shows Prescott escaping alone to Concord as Dawes and Revere are stopped by the British Patrol. Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth

It's > Rhonda: I've come across the explanation in researching Connecticut history. Was a long time ago, though, so can't be exact; doubt that I have notes-at least that I could find! Young, unmarried men without property seem to have been in a slightly different, lesser category than men who were made "freemen." As I recall, a freeman could vote in town meeting. He may have been entitled to other privileges as well. Now I'm looking in Conn Hist cards. In Early American Rooms, Russell Hawes Kettell, ed., p 65: "The franchise, as applied to colonial officials, was very limited. Only those who could meet a property qualification and who would take the freeman's oath, which declared a belief in the doctrine of the Trinity, were qualified to become freemen; and only freemen could hold colonial office and vote for colonial officials. Thus it is evident that colonial Connecticut was not a democracy, but a religious oligarchy ruled by a small group composed of the ablest men in the community, members of the Congregational church." Connecticut, by Albert E. Van Dusen, p 23-4: Colonial CT never a dmocracy its leaders strongly oposed to rule by masses Calvinistic concept of man as evil rule by "elect" Rigorous religious and property requirements 1702-Rev, a voter in a town or country must be an admitted inhabitant and of legal age, a householder, a man "of sober conversation," possessor of a freehold estate rated at 50 shillings a year also had to be a freeman (40 shillings a year freehold estate or 40 pound personal estate, and a certificate from the town selectmen attesting "quiet and peaceable behaviour and civil conversation" in 1766, probably about 1/9 of population were freemen. Connecticut's Years of Controversy, Oscar Zeichner: p 6-8 (Why no democracy in pre-Rev CT): Man was evil and corrupt only the elect fit to rule political rights rested on property and religion distinctions between "admitted inhabitants" and freemen rights of admitted inhabitants limited Town authorities were careful not to let undesirable newcomers acquire political rights participation in town affairs was privilege of a few 20-25% of adult males, 1761, in New Haven town meeting in 1740, only 4,000 votes (of freemen) when male population was 15,000.

Well I own the two volume set printed 1850 and there is no ISBN listed.

For the rest of us who might love to take a look, what could the ISBN # of those volumes be pray tell?? Jan, Hope you had a wonderful holiday.

Hi Rhonda, Perhaps someone else can answer that:-) See end for an aid. I was picking up on Anne's portion of her msg on the Lossing Field Book Bibliography where she points out the 'importance' of Bibliographies. However, these particular Lossing books have been a topic of discussion in recent times. I have copied here the msg posted by John Robertson (jrshelby11/16/01) which triggered our remarks about Bibliographies: [quote] 1. A few weeks back I posted finding online Benjamin J. Lossing's 1850 "THE PICTORIAL FIELD-BOOK OF THE REVOLUTION" and 1869 "THE PICTORIAL FIELD BOOK OF THE WAR OF 1812 " (the latter "in progress") at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~wcarr1/lossing.htm 2. A major difficulty with the original version of this huge work is that of finding something in particular. It has a voluminous table of contents, but no index. I have been kibitzing with the website owner to add a means of searching the online version. We have a workable (albeit not perfect) one at http://jrshelby.com/lossingsearch.htm which I would suggest as an entry point to the main site. 3. I tried 3 different freebie online search engines before selecting this one. The site map feature is provided by a different service, and while you can search from there, I don't recommend doing so. 4. You will be told on the search link (2, above) that a search will take you to the beginning of the chapter(s) (webpages) containing the desired material. When you arrive at a chapter, you can find the material at its location in the chapter by using your browser's built-in search function (Control-F or Edit/Find), then find additional locations of the same text by using your browser's "Find next" feature. 5. I have added a few instructions on the search page (2, above) but plan to add an expanded "search tips" section. If you have comments in regard to the search functions, please address them to jr@jrshelby.com (and not to the list). 6. The guy who did the huge amount of work to put this site online is Bill Carr, wcarr1@nycap.rr.com (not a listmember). If you've never done this kind of thing, your mind would be boggled at the manhours required. 7. I hope that you find this site to be as enjoyable as I have. It is like travelling back in time over 150 years and seeing many of these sites as they looked then, and hearing their history as known by those at the sites living only 70 years or so after they occurred. It may not be time travel, but for a history buff, it comes close! [end quote] Perhaps Janice's search at this site will provide some #ISBN numbers: http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookSearch?ph=2&an=Lossing&bsi=60 Hope this helps, Jan Rhonda Houston wrote: > For the rest of us who might love to take a look, what could the ISBN # of > those volumes be pray tell?? > > Jan, Hope you had a wonderful holiday.

This was sented to me some time ago about George See family it has him at Point Pleasant in 1774 and 1776 served under same Captain Matthew Arbuckle . Richard Brandstetter www.weddings-nj.com ---- Petition written by hand in ink reads: "State of Missouri Marion County On this twelfth day of February 1835 personally appeared before John A. Cobb over of this question of the pension in and for the County of Marion George See a resident of the said county of Marion in the State of Missouri aged seventy nine years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following (illegible - "--tutaintions") in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. That he enlisted in the army of the United States in he thinks the year 1776 and served in the army of the United States under the following named officers. he was enlisted by Captain Matthew Arbuckle and served in his company which was stationed at Point Pleasant at the mouth of the Great Kanawha River. that he lived in the County of Greenbrier Virginia where he enlisted. that he served out the complete term of his enlistment to wit for one year. This deponent further states that he served under the same Arbuckle in 1774 and was in the battle of Point Pleasant or Big (Sandy? illegible) in which was lost 173 men killed and wounded and Indians in plenty. This deponent states that he doth not recollect to what regiment if any he was attached during his service in 1776. his officer (Matthew? illegible) Arbuckle who commanded the fort was Lieutenant Andrew Wallace Ensign Samuel Walker, Sergeant John Bowens. I know of none of the Soldiers or officers now living or if so where they may be residing who served with me except my brother John See who resides at or near Flat Rock Indiana and John Keppers who resides in Monroe County in the state whose deposition I have obtained. This deponent further states that during the service for which he claims a pension he was stationed at the Fort in Garrison. was engaged in no battles nor marches. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and he hereby declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state. Sworn and submitted before me this his 12th day George X See of Feby 1835 mark John A. Cobb Marion, Missouri" Cobb also certified he took the deposition at George See's house since he was "confined mostly to his bed by the gravels and has been near a year and is wholly unable to attend any Court of Record being distant 9 miles by reason of his bodily infirmity." But Cobb certified that he personally knew him and believed him. Also included in the file was a letter from John Kippers, aged 74, who "swore that he was a soldier in the Revolution and served in the Army of the United States during the Revolutionary War. that George See served under the following officers in the year seventeen hundred and seventy six or seven for the term of twelve months in General Harn's Regiment and in Capt Matthew Arbuckle's Company which was stationed at Point Pleasant at the mouth of the Great Kanawha river for the purpose of keeping up the garrison at the place and to protect the Western Settlements in Virginia against the inroads of the Indians." He also testified that his memory was not perfect as to the dates of See's enlistment or discharge but is positive as to his term of service. Another notation stated that "Mr. See is one of the old pioneers of this country having settled on See's Creek (Missouri?) near twenty years ago." He was "a worn out soldier confined to his bed with the Stone or gravel." (Kidney stones???) Also attached was another letter with the date of 1854 from Washington See and George See (his sons??) George's claim for a pension was not allowed as he "failed to furnish proof" of his alleged service. Listed in DAR # S17538.

The Article on Point Pleasant was very interesting, especially since I have been researching Dunmore's War recently, but did not know of the controversy about this battle. One article that I read suggested that Dunmore was anxious to retaliate against the Indians because he was involved in land speculation along the Ohio, and planned to live in the colonies permanently. Would anyone know where I could get a roster of the men who were in the battle. I had some from Augusta and Fincastle who received pay at Pittsburg in 1774 but I do not know if they took part in this battle. They were also mentioned in the Dark and Bloody River. Betty

Hiya again Thanks to everyone who mailed to say it is a hoax "chain letter". I do hope you've not deleted the file (as I have!). I'm going to kill my cousin. If you've beaten me to it, this is how you get it back: Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition To extract files in Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition, use the System File Checker tool: 1. Click Start , and then click Run . 2. Type sfc , and then press ENTER. 3. Click Extract one file from installation disk . 4. In the Specify the system file you would like to restore box, type drive :\windows\command\sulfnbk.exe (where drive is the drive on which the Windows folder is installed, usually drive C), and then click Start . The Extract File dialog box is displayed. 5. Next to the Restore from box, click Browse , and then browse to the location of the Windows installation files. If the installation files were copied to the hard disk, this location is C:\Windows\Options\Cabs by default. You can also insert the Windows installation CD-ROM in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive and browse to that location. 6. Click OK , and then follow the instructions. Many apologies for causing trouble - and for being such a dumplin'! Marjie

Each and every rootsweb List owner at some time or another has said not to post virus information to these lists that are specifically for history and genealogy. Roots lists provide freely shared material which most would not have access to otherwise. If I owned a List I would automatically bounce and member who posted with the word "virus" in the subject line. It is as irritating as the ever increasing porno and spam mail we get daily. When the List owner repeatedly tells his subscribers it is not acceptable, and the subscribers come back the same day with "virus" in the subject line, it is absolutely ignorant to do so. You shouldnt be subscribed to history/genealogy lists for you interests lie elsewhere. Dont respond to this to the list. Respond to me personally. If you are a known flamer I will immediately delete your response unread for you dont sub to lists for anything but to cause trouble and flame. Janice Farnsworth
