Hello all, This is the first I have heard that Samuel Adams signed on with the Privateer ship, "Boston". In the fall of 1776, John Adams had some tea sent to Abigail, Mrs. J. Adams, by a man who delivers it instead to Mrs. S. Adams. Abigail goes to visit Mrs. Samuel Adams and is served HER tea but says nothing to Mrs. Samuel Adams about the wrong delivery address. When asked about the delicious tea, Mrs. Adams says her "sweetheart" sent it to her. This is the only mention I can find that Samuel Adams is away. Very interesting. Thank you, Margaret

New Hampshire had four men who received general officer rank from Congress between 1775 and the end of actual fighting in 1781. Let us briefly consider each of them in relation to Washington. John Sullivan of Durham (1740-1795) won the rank of Brigadier General in June, 1775, and the rank of Major General in August, 1776. He was with Washington in almost all his campaigns from the siege of Boston to his own resignation from the army in December, 1779. Throughout these years, says his biographer, C. P. Whittemore, he was" . . . brave, energetic, and resourceful."24 At the same time he was ambitious, somewhat sensitive, and easily had his feelings hurt. For example, on March 15, 1777, General Washington had to write Sullivan a strong letter, warning him against imagining that he (Sullivan) was being in any way passed over or neglected25 To John Sullivan's credit he never lost his confidence in the Commander-in-Chief nor his admiration for him. In his letter of resignation from the army Major General Sullivan wrote Washington:26 "My publick & Constant Declarations have been, & I now repeat, that in my opinion, you are the Saviour of this Country, and that to your fortitude, bravery, & Steady Performance, do we owe the Independence & Freedom we Enjoy." The second New Hampshire man to obtain general officer rank was James Reed (1722-1807). A native of Massachusetts, he had lived in Fitzwilliam after 1765. At the beginning of the War he was named Colonel of the 3rd New Hampshire. In August, 1776, he was commissioned a Brigadier General by Congress, but shortly thereafter became blind27 In September, 1776, he retired from the army and lived quietly the rest of his life in Fitzwilliam. I have found no record of any existing correspondence between Reed and George Washington. Enoch Poor (1736-1780), born in Massachusetts but a resident of Exeter after 1760, was the third New Hampshire officer who attained a general's rank. Commissioned in 1775 as Colonel of the 2nd New Hampshire, Poor was promoted by Congress to the rank of a Brigadier General on February 21, 1777. He was active in General Sullivan's campaign of 1779 against the Iroquois Indians, but died of wounds in September, 1780. Of him the Commander-in-Chief wrote:28 "He was an officer of distinguished merit who as a citizen and a soldier had every claim to the esteem of his country." The fourth New Hampshire man to receive general officer rank was John Stark (1728-1822), whose statue graces the State House plaza in Concord. The house that he built still stands in the city in which we meet today. Stark began his Revolutionary War service as Colonel of the 1st New Hampshire. He was with Washington at Trenton and Princeton, serving in an important command, and on the eve of the battle of Trenton bluntly offering his advice to Washington.29 Following the great victory of Stark and his men at Bennington on August 16, 1777, Stark received his long-deserved promotion. He was named by Congress on October 4, 1777, as a Continental Brigadier General.30 Later in the war he served as Commander of the United States forces in the northern portion of New York, and was a member of the court-martial board that sentenced Major Andre to death, following Arnold's treason in September, 1780. His affection for and devotion to Washington were attested in a letter he wrote to the Commander-in-Chief on September 23, 1782:31 During the course of the winter and the greater part of the spring and summer I was scarce able to ride five miles, but as the autumn begins to advance I find my health gradually returning and had thoughts of taking a ride to camp in case I could have found cash enough in the state to defray my expenses . . . Money I have none and my private fortune scarce competent to the support of a numerous offspring which Heaven has been pleased to bestow . . . However, should your Excellency think my presence at any place in the army necessary for the good of my country, I will endeavor upon the shortest notice to comply with your commands . . . "Most sincerely wishing you success, that your path on the theatre of glory may still continue to shine with its usual splendor and that you may soon be able to restore to your country a safe, honorable and lasting tranquility, is the ardent wish of your most obedient, most devoted and very humble servant, JOHN STARK." http://www.sar.org/nhssar/essays/Washingt.html

A number of taverns played a role in the revolution: <A HREF="http://www.blanchardstavern.com/taverns.htm">TAVERNS</A> 1. Munroe Tavern, Lexington. William Munroe, Minuteman and sergeant in the Mass Militia, remained single until he was forty and then produced 14 children with the aid of three (successive) wives. He alerted the company at the approach of the British to Lexington Common and while engaged in tne stand against the British, his tavern was occupied by the redcoats and his servant was shot attempting to escape. The tavern was used by Earl Percy as a dressing station for wounded soldiers during the British retreat from Concord. Many barrels of liquor were destroyed by the drunken redcoats and they set fire to the tavern just before abandoning it. The fire was extinguished and the tavern is still in its original state. In 1789, after election to the Presidency, Washington stopped at the tavern for dinner on a visit to Boston. It was during this visit that a dispute over protocol arose with John Hancock, Governor of the Commonwealth. Hancock feigned illness as the excuse for not journeying to the state line to meet the new President (Hancock had wanted the ]ob) but Honest George did not accept this excuse and refused an invitation from Hancock to dine at his famous home on Beacon Hill. The original Munroe tavern sign is on display in the tap room. 2. Wright Tavern, Concord. The Wright Tavern served as a gathering place during the alarm preceding the redcoat raid on the Concord stores. Although General Gages spies had provided him with intelligence about the colonials he was still outfoxed. The minutemen stood firm at Concord Bridge and harassed the retreating British with guerrilla warfare. If it were not for British reinforcements arriving during their retreat through Lexington and Arlington the redcoats would have been annihilated. While the redcoats were pillaging some homes in the Concord area, their Commander Major Pitcairn waited for them in Wrights Tavern nursing a bruised finger. A number of British wounded were left behind when it was realized that the colonials out-numbered the English. British losses for April 19, 1775 were 20% compared to 2% for the colonials. 3. Buckman Tavern, Lexington. Standing next to Lexington Green, Buckman Tavern was the focus of activity during the period after Revere and Dawes spread the April 19 th alarm that the British were heading their way. Gages orders were specific; 'destroy the arms and get John Hancock and Samuel Adams. John Buckman was a member of Capt Parker's Minuteren and was known in those parts for a story about a toper who entered the tavern and bought a bottle of rum. "I suppose youd rather have that bottle of rum than anything else in the world?" asked Buckman. "Nothing would make me give it up," replied the toper as he left. Following the man into the dark night a masked Buckman held him up with an unloaded pistol and relieved him of the bottle. For weeks aiterwards Buckman delighted in telling this story until he was arrested and fined fifty dollars for highway robbery! On the evening of the 18 th of April 1775, the tavern swarmed with patrons who related rumors about the British in Boston. The tavern was still alive when midnight rolled around and Paul Revere galloped past alerting everyone. The bell in the belfry was rung and an hour later William Dawes came racing by with the same message. The tavern soon was overflowing with Minutemen and their leader Capt Parker took charge. The bell continued to toll its alarm and musket shots could be heard to alert the countryside. Shortly after dawn Parker assembled his men on the Common and the rest has become history. The British continued on to Concord leaving those at Buckman Tavern busy treating the wounded and feeding the colonials. Eight years later to the day Washington visited the Lexington Common, site of the wars beginning, to declare the war at an end. We wish to thank James Baker of Plimouth Plantation and Sanborn Brown for their help and interest. http://www.blanchardstavern.com/taverns.htm

I am new to your list, but in the short time I have been here I have been learning alot about my ancestral families --the what's and why's and how's they fought -- for my right to enjoy the freedoms I have today - including a pleasant, sunny but crisp Christmas Day in Houston. Thank y'all for the information you eagerly and readily share. I would like to add: My family would like to wish all of you and yours a Very Merry Chistmas Betty

Merry Christmas All, Another amazing year full of discovery and uncertainty. Here is a good reason to have a familytree website. A local historian researching Ballynure Northern Ireland browsed into the MACOMB family website. They contacted us. The Mayor of Ballyclare, Northern Ireland, sent this illustrated card to me (she's in the forfront). They have discovered the business location of John Gordon MACOMB b1717 in Ballynure, father to William and Alexander MACOMB Sr,. of Detroit. They are searching for the orginal location of their farm in Dunturkey, a locality in Ballynure Northern Ireland only known to locals. http://www.interlog.com/~mmccombs/Xmas_in_Ballyclare.jpg I'm researching John Gordon MACOMB from the Hoosack Valley, New Hamphire Grants in Vermont/NY pre 1777. Also, I have posted two pictures from this summers travels at the Tall Ships event on the Great Lakes in Port Colborne Ontario, Canada. I'm dressed to what I think William McComb Sr. of Detroit would have been c1790. My friend Millie dressed as a pirate. Oddly enough William had a woman partner (ANSE) in the early NWCo. who was described as a swashbuckler. http://www.interlog.com/~mmccombs/murmil.jpg The "Pride of Baltimore"; a recreated War of 1812 merchant ship under sail, not unlike William's later merchant lake ships. http://www.interlog.com/~mmccombs/1812schooner.jpg Best wishes to you and yours in the New Year.

Subject: The Song of Marion's Men - by Bryant Source: Lossing's Field Book of the Revolution Vol. II p.477/478 Among the bold, energetic and faithful patriots of the South, none holds a firmer place in the affections of the American people than General Francis Marion, born at Winyaw, near Georgetown, South Carolina in 1732. His adventures were full of the spirit of romance and his whole military life was an epic poem. The followers of Robin Hood were never more devoted to their chief than were the men of Marion's Brigade to their beloved leader. Bryant has sketched a graphic picture of that noble band, in his: SONG OF MARION'S MEN Our band is few, but true and tried, Our leader frank and bold; The British soldier trembles When Marion's name is told. Our fortress is the good green wood, Our tent the cypress tree; We know the forest round us, As seamen know the sea. We know its walls of thorny vines, Its glades of reedy grass; Its safe and silent islands Within the dark morass. Woe to the English sodiery, That little dread us near! On them shall light at midnight, A strange and sudden fear; When, waking to their tents on fire, They grasp their arms in vain, And they who stand to face us Are beat to earth again; And they who fly in terror deem A mighty host behind, And hear the tramp of thousands Upon the hollow wind. Then sweet the hour that brings release >From danger and from toil; We talk the battle over, And share the battle's spoil. The woodland rings with laugh and shout, As if a hunt were up, And woodland flowers are gather'd To crown the soldier's cup. With merry songs we mock the wind That in the pine top grieves, And slumber long and sweetly On beds of oaken leaves. Well knows the fair and friendly moon The band that Marion leads, The glitter of their rifles, The scampering of their steeds, 'Tis life to guide the fiery barb Across the moonlight plain; 'Tis life to feel the night wind That lifts his tossing mane. A moment in the British camp - A moment - and away Back to the pathless forest. Before the peep of day. Grave men there are by broad Santee, Grave men with hoary hairs, Their hearts are all with Marion, For Marion are their prayers. And lovely ladies greet our band With kindliest welcoming, With smiles like those of summer And tears like those of spring. For them we wear these trusty arms, And lay them down no more, Till we have driven the Briton Forever from our shore. Marion's remains are in the church yard at Belle Isle in the parish of St. John's, Berkleley. Over them is a marble slab, upon which is the following inscription: "Sacred to the Memory of Brigadier General Francis Marion, who departed this life on the twenty-ninth of February, 1795, in the sixty-third year of his age, deeply regretted by all of his fellow-citizens. History will record his worth, and rising generations embalm his memory, as one of the most distinguished patriots and heroes of the American Revolution; which elevated his native country to Honor and Independence, and secured to her the blessings of liberty and peace. This tribute of veneration and gratitude is erected in com- memoration of the noble and disinterested virtues of the citizen, and the gallant exploits of the soldier, who lived without fear and died without reproach." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth

Subject: Richard Wallace - An Act of Courage Source: Gathered Sketches from the Early History of N.H. & VT - Adventures of Our Forefathers and the Incidents of Olden Time. by Francis Chase, M.A., Claremont, N.H., Tracy, Kenney & Company, 1856 p.165 An Act of Courage From Rev. G. Power's "History of Coos Country" - 1777 It will be recollected by those who are acquainted with the history of the revolution, that as soon as the battle was fought at Bennington and the Americans began to hope that Burg- oyne's army would fall into their hands, they set about retaking the forts of Ticonderoga and Mount Independence, on the shores of Lake Champlain, which forts Burgoyne had left in his rear, supplied with troops for the defence. Ticonderoga was taken and Mount Independence was besieged for some time. There was a good deal of hard fighting and it was confidently expected that Mount Independence would surrender; but it did not. The British shipping had full possession of the lake. Ticonderoga was upon the west side of the lake, and Mount Independence on the east. Our troops on the west side could hold no communication with those who had invested Mount Independence, and of course they could have no concert in action. It was at this time, when the greatest solicitude was felt by the two American commanders to know each other's minds, that the following expedient was adopted by the commander at Ticonderoga. He called on his men to know if there were any two of them who would volunteer to swim the lake in the evening and carry despatches to General Lincoln, near Mount Independence. p.166 For a time none offered to undertake the hazardous enterprise; but when informed how much was probably depending upon it, [Richard] Wallace of Thetford, VT., stepped for- ward and said he would attempt it; and then followed him, Ephraim Webster of Newbury, who originated in New Chester, N.H. The documents were made out and about sundown an officer took these two men upon an eminence which overlooked the lake and pointed out to them the course they must take to avoid discovery ty the British shipping and then where they would probably find the American camp. At dusk of evening the same officer attended them to the margin of the lake, assisted them to prepare for the voyage, little expecting ever to hear from them again; for as they had to swim up and down the lake, in a zigzag course, to avoid the enemy, they must swim more than two miles before they could make terra firma; and it was so late in the season, the water was quite cold. They rolled their despatches in their clothes, and bound them upon the back part of their neck by cords passing round their foreheads. As soon as they entered the water, Wallace said to Webster, "We shall never reach shore, it is so cold;" but this he said without any thought of relinquishing the enterprise. p.167 When about midway of the lake, the cord which fastened Wallace's clothes to his neck slipped down from his forehead to his throat, and cut him so hard as almost to strangle him. He made several attempts to replace the string upon his forehead, but failed and was on the point of giving up all for lost. The thought, however, of the importance of his undertaking seemed to inspire him with new life and vigor, and he succeeded in replacing the string and passed on without saying a word to dishearten Webster. They passed so near the British shipping as to hear the oft-repeated cry, "All's well!" They took no care to contradict that report, but buffeted the waves with stout hearts and sinewy limbs. They kept in company until they came near the eastern shore of the Lake, when Webster seemed to fall into the rear, a few rods at the north of Wallace; and just as Wallace struck the twigs of a tree which lay extended into the lake, he heard Webster say, "Help, Wallace; I am drowning!" Wallace sprang to the shore, caught a stick, rushed into the water, and extended it to Webster in the act of sinking and drew him ashore. Webster could not stand; but Wallace rubbed him briskly and put on his clothes and he soon recovered so as to walk. Webster was so full of expressions of gratitude to Wallace for the preservation of his life, that Wallace had to caution him not to speak so loud, for the enemy would hear them. p.168 But new difficulties now presented themselves. It was dark, and they were in a strange place. The enemy was near and had their sentinels on shore, as well as the Americans; and what was worst of all, they knew not the countersign of the Americans on that side of the lake. They started however, in quest of the American camp, and after traveling about nearly one hour, they were hailed by a British sentinel and did but just make their escape. They then took a different direction and Wallace gave both despatches into Webster's hands and told him to keep in the rear and he would go forward; and if he should happen to fall into the hands of the emeny, Webster might have opportunity to escape with the despatches. But they had not proceeded a great way before Wallace was hailed by a sentinel. "Who comes there?" "A friend," says Wallace. "A friend to whom?" says the sentinel. "Advance and giver the countersign." This was a fearful moment. Wallace hesitated for an instant and then replied, by way of question, "Whose friend are you?" The sentinel responded, "A friend to America." "So am I," said Wallace, "and have important despatches for your General." They were immediately conducted to the general's quarters, the despatches were delivered, and Wallace and Webster were received with every mark of surprise and gratitude, and every thing was done to render them comfortable and happy. p.169 But Wallace never enjoyed the degree of health afterwards that he did prior to that chill and incredible effort. Wallace departed this life February 7, 1833, aged 80. Mrs. Wallace died May, 1831 aged 82. Webster's subsequent history is worthy of a passing notice. At the time he visited Newbury last, he was residing among the Oneida Indians, New York. They had adopted him as their brother, promoted him to be chief of their tribe and to render the tie indissoluble they had given him for a wife one of the black-haired maidens of the forest. Webster's health was not permanently injured by his dangerous adventure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth At the time of the Revolutionary War, there were 75 "able-bodied" men in Thetford. Ten enlisted in the army and six others were employed as scouts. The remaining men formed a militia unit which was called upon to defend against Tories and Indians. Richard Wallace, another pioneer, swam through the British fleet off Ticonderoga in 1777, carrying dispatches for General Lincoln. http://www.letmeshowyouvermont.com/5-4.htm
