Washington's general orders, was enlisted in the latter 1775. part of June, and in the beginning of July, 1775, in pur- suance of a resolution of Congress, dated June 14, for raising six companies of expert riflemen in Pennsylvania, two in Maryland, and two in Virginia, which, as soon as completed, were to joint the army near Boston. By a resolution dated June 22, the "Colony of Pennsylvania" was directed to raise two more companies, which, with the six, were to be formed into a battalion, and be commanded by such officers as the Assem- bly or convention shall recommend. This resolution having been communicated -^^^tr-y^r^-^^i^ to the Assembly, it resolved, June 24, i^>^ "that the members — — ■" of Congress deputed by this Assembly be a committee to consider of and recommend proper officers of the said battalion." The commissions to the oflUcers are dated the next day, June 25, Sunday, consequently no record of their appointment appears upon the journals of Congress. The following is a copy of one of them: In Congress. The delegates of the United Colonies of New Hampshire, Mas- sachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, the counti- s of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex, in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. To John Lowdon, Esq. We, reposing especial trust and confidence in your patriotism, valor, conduct, and fidelity, do by these presents, constitute and appoint you to be a captain of a company of riflemen, in (3) 4 COL. WILLIAM THOMPSON'S the battalion commanded by Col. William Thompson, in the army of the United Colonies raised for the defense of Ameri- can liberty, and for repelling any hostile invasion thereof. You are, therefore, carefully and diligently to discharge the duty of captain, by doing and performing all manner of things tnereunto belonging. And we do strictly charge and I'equire all ofiicers and soldiers under your command, to be obedient to your orders as captain, and you are to observe and follow such orders and directions from time to time as you shall receive from this or a future Congress of the United Colonies, or com- mittee of Congress for that purpose appointed, or Commander- in-chief for the time being of the army of the United Colonies, or any other superior officer, according to the rules and dis- cipline of war, in pursuance of the trust reposed in you. This commission to continue in force until revoked by this or a future Congress. By order of Congress. JOHN HANCOCK, President. Philadelphia, June 25, 1775. Attest: Charles Thompson, Secretary. The form of enlistment was, "I have this day voluntarily enlisted myse.f as a soldier in the .^merican Continental Army for one year, unless sooner discharged, and do bind myself to conform in all instances to such rules and regulations as are or shall be established for the government of the said army." Each company was to conrist of one captain, three lieuten- ants, four sergeants, four corporals, a drummer or trumpeter, and sixty-eight privates. On the 11th of July Congress w?s informed that two com- panies had been raised in Lancaster county instead of one, and it resolved thac both companies be taken into the Continental service. This battalion, therefore, consisted of nine companies, enlisted as follows: Chambers' and Hendricks' in Cumbe rland county, Doudel's in York, Ross' and Smith's in Lancaster, Lowdon's in Northumberland, Cluggage's in Bedford, Nagel's in Berks, and Capt. Abraham Miller's, in Northampton. The pay of the otiicers and privates was as follows: Captain, twenty dollars per month; a lieutenant, thirteen and one-third dollars; sergeant, eight dollors; a corporal, seven and one- third; a drummer or trumppter. the same; privates, "Six and two-thirds, to find their own arms and clothes. BATTALION OF RIFLEMEN. 5 The patriotism of Pennsylvania was evinced in the haste with which the companies of Col. Thompson's battalion were filled to overflowing, and the promptitude with which they took up their march for Boston. The Philadelphia Evening Post of August 17, 1775, publishes a New York item, "that be- tween the 28th of July and 2d instant, the rifle men, under the command of Captains Smith, Lowdon, Doudel, Chambers, Nagel, Miller, and Hendricks, passed through New Windsor, [a few miles north of West Point], in the New York govern- ment, on their way to Boston." A number of gentlemen went along as independent volunteers. Their names were not en- tered on the rolls, and they claimed the privilege of paying their own expenses and returning at their pleasure. Among these were Edward Burd, afterwards prothonotary of the Su- preme Court, Jesse Lukens, Matthew Duncan, &c. The history of the battalion appears in the following contemporary records: Captain James Chambers writes from Cambridge, August 13, 1775: "We arrived in camp on the 7th ultimo, about twelve o'clock. "We were not here above an hour until we went to view the' lines where the English camp is all in plain sight. We crossed the lines, and went beyond the outpost to a small hill, within musket shot of a man-of-war and a floating battery, and not further from the works at the foot of Bunker Plill, where we could see them very plainly. Whilst I was standing there, some of our riflemen slipped down the hill, about a gun-shot to the left of us, and began firing. The regulars returned it without hurting our men. We thought we saw one of the red coats fall. Since the riflemen came here, by the latest accounts from Boston, there have been forty-two killed and thirty-eight prisoners taken at the light-house, twelve of the latter tories. Amongst the killed are four captains, one of them a son of a lord, and worth £40,000 a year, whose name I cannot recollect. The riflemen go where they please, and keep the regulars in continual hot water. "They are every day firing cannon at our people, but have not yet killed a man. We expect six wagons loaded with pow- der here in two or three days; and when they arrive, our twen- ty-four pounders v/ill begin to play on their ships and the lines on Bunker Hill. It is diflicult for our men to get within shot of them, as they have floating batteries that flank the end of Winter Kill, and men-of-war on the ether side, though our boys think they killed several of them. About an hour ago, I saw 6 COL. WILLIAM THOMPSON'S a small cannonading between two of the enemy's boats and one of our batteries, to the north of Boston. We can see all the town distinctly from our fort on Prospect Hill, and it is a very pretty place. Two deserters came to us last night." Thacher in his Military Journal of the Revolution, under date of August, 1775, describes this battalion: "They are remarkably stout and hardy men; many of them exceeding six feet in height. They are dressed in white frocks or rifle shirts and round hats. These men are remarkable for the accuracy of their aim; striking a mark with great certainty at two hundred yards distance. At a review, a company of them, while on a quick advance, fired their balls into objects of seven inches diameter, at the distance of two hundred and fifty yards. They are now stationed in our lines, and their shot have frequently proved fatal to British officers and sol- diers who expose themselves to view, even at more than double the distance of common musket shot." This battalion became the Second regiment (and after the 1st of January, 1776, the !First regiment) "of the army of the United Colonies, commanded by his Excellency General George Washington, Esquire, general and commander-in-chief." So reads a return dated "Head-quarters at Cambridge, August 18, 1775," by which it appears that three field ofiicers, nine cap- tains, twenty-seven lieutenants, the adjutant, quartermaster, surgeon and mate, twenty-nine sergeants, thirteen drums and fifes, and seven hundred and thirteen rank and file were present fit for duty. Lieut. Col. Hand writes, August 20, that he arrived with Col. Thompson on the 17th, that they were under Gen. Lee's immediate command, but were to move four and a half miles into Gen. Putnam's department, and that Major Magaw was in command at Cape Anne. This battalion formed the picket guard of the two thousand provincials, who on the evening of the 26th August took pos- session of and threw up intrenchments on Ploughed Hill, and on the morning of the 27th met with its first loss, private Simpson, of Smith's company, who wa^ wounded in the leg and 'died therefrom. "Poor Simpson (beau) had one of his legs shattered by a cannon ball. The director general took it off, but the poor lad was buried this evening."— Hand's letter of 29th. On the evening of the 26th instant, Saturday, I was ordered to draw fifty men out of each of the Cumberland companies. BATTALION OF RIFLEMEN. 7 and to be ready to march at suuset. Accordingly I did so, and marched without beat of drum to Prospect Hill, and thence proceeded with the riflemen stationed there, in all about four hundred, to Ploughed Hill, and then down the hill within three or four hundred yards of the enemy's strongest works, to cover a party of about two thousand musket men who were at the same time to entrench on Plough'ed Hill. They labored hard all night, and at daybreak had the redoubt nearly com- pleted. The English began a heavy counonading, which con- tinued all day. They killed one adjutant and one soldier with cannon, wounded three others with musket balls. Wil- liam Simpson, of Paxton, was struck by a shot and his foot carried away, &c. Your son, Benjamin, was with me in all this affair."— Capt. James Chambers to his- wife, August 29, 1775. James Wilkinson (subsequently Brigadier General Wilkin- son), who was a volunteer in Col. Thompson's battalion, makes the following reference to the first Pennsylvania soldier who fell in the war of the Revolution: "The provincials broke ground at Ploughed Hill, August 26, about one mile northwest, and in front of the British post at Bunker Hill, on the peninsula of Chariestown. A detachment of riflemen order to cover the working party took post in an orchard, and under cover of stone fences in advance. As soon as the enemy discovered the workmen, they opened a bat- tery upon them, and kept up a brisk cannonade by which vol- unteer Simpson, of Pennsylvania, had one of his heels and ankles so much shattered that mortification ensued and he died in a few days. The young man was visited and consoled during his illness by Gen. Washington in person, and by most of the officers of rank belonging to the army. Every exertion of the faculty was made to save him, and his death became a theme of common sorrow in an army of twelve or fourteen thousand men. I witnessed the effect on my arrival two or three weeks after." — Memoirs, Vol. 1, page 16. On the 5th of September, two companies of this battalion (Capt. Wm. Hendricks, Capt. Matthew Smith,) were ordered to parade upon the common in Cambridge, and join the de- tachment "to go upon command with Colonel Arnold." For <.^ 8 COL. WILLIAM THOMPSON'S a full and interesting account of the hardships and suffering of these two companies, see Judge John Joseph Henry's narrative (Lancas- ter, 1812). These companies led the advance under cap- tain, afterward Col. Daniel Morgan, through the wilderness,* and participated in the attack on Quebec, on the morning of the 31st of Decem- ber at Palace Gate, where, as the dispatch of the day reads, "that excellent young officer, Capt. William Hendricks, of Penn- sylvania, fell," and the rest of the command after desperate fighting, were forced to surrender. The survivors were paroled on the 7th of August, 1776, and after being exchanged, for the' most part, re-entered the service, following the fortunes of the Pennsylvania Line with Gen. Wayne, down into Georgia, resisting the fearful night attack made upon Wayne's camp, near Sharon, Georgia, on the 24th of May, 1782; entering Sav- annah in triumph with him on the 11th of July; Charleston on the 14th of December, 1782, and only returning in the month of July, 1783, when the last of the Pennsylvania troops embarked at James Island, South Carolina, on board of trans- port for Philadelphia. On the 23d of September, Col. Hand writes to Judge Yeates: "Day before yesterday, Lieut. McKenzie of the Bedford com- pany, had his hat blown off by the wind of a cannon ball, and a splinter hit Jr. Hubley, and overturned him. Morgan, Hen- dricks, and Smith, have left with their companies for Canada. Seven hundred musqueteers from here are on the same expe- dition. The expedition with which the York company was raised does not help on for their misconduct; had Smith's com- pany been better behaved, they might probably have saved themselves a disagreeable jaunt. The General refused peremp- torily to take the York company." A contemporary letter, dated September 13, says: "On Monday last (llth) Col. Arnold having chosen one thou- *At Fort Western (on the Kcnnebeck), "concluded to dispatch an officer and seven men in advance, for the purpose of ascertaining and marking the paths which were used by the Indians towards the heads of the river, and apcertain the course of the river Chaudiere. Arnold found it necessary to select on officer of activity and courage. The choice fell upon Lieut. Archi- bald Steele, of Smith's company, who selected as his companions, Jesse Wheeler, George Merchant, and James Clifton of Morgan's company; and Hubert Cunningham, Thomas Boyd, John Tidd. John McKonkey, and John Joseph Henry, of Smith's company."— Henry, page 17. Also, see Oswald's Journal, Force's Archives, 3d vol., 1059, "Sunday, 24th of September, dis- patched Lieut. Steele, &c." BATTALION OF RIFLEMEN. 9 sand effective men, consisting of two companies of riflemen, (about one hundred and forty), the remainder musqueteers, set off for Quebec, as it is given out, and which I really believe to be their destination. I accompanied on foot as far as Lynn, nine miles. Dr. Coates, who goes as surgeon, Mr. Matt. Dun- can, Mr. Melcher, and several other southern gentlemen as vol- unteers. Here I took leave of them with a wet eye. The drums beat, and away they go as ar as Newburyport by land, from there go in sloops to Kennebeck river, up it in batteaux, and have a carrying place of about fifty miles, over which they must carry on their shoulders their batteaux and baggage, scale the walls, and spend the winter in joy and festivity among the sweet Nuns."^Jesse Lukens.* In general orders, dated Cambridge, September 11, T775, occurs: "Col. Thompson's battalion of riflemen posted upon Prospect Hill, to take their share of all duty, of guard and fatigue, with the brigade they encamp with." Also, September 13: "The thirty-three riflemen of Col. Thompson's battalion tried yes- terday, by a general court-martial, whereof Col. Nixon was president, for 'disobedient and mutinous behavior," are each of them sentenced to pay the sum of twenty shillings, except John Learhon, who, over and above his fine, is to suffer six days' imprisonment. The pay-master of the regiment to stop the fine of each man out of next month's pay, which must be paid to Dr. Church, for the use of the general hospital." The contemporary letter above referred to supplements these orders, thus: "Our camp is separate from all others about one hundred yards. All our courts-martial and duty was separate. We were excused from all working parties, camp guards, camp duty. This indulgence, together with the remissness of disci- pline and care in our young officers, has rendered the men rather insolent for good soldiers. They had twice before broken open our guard-house and released their companions who were confined there for small crimes, and once when an offender was brought to the post to be whipped, it was with the utmost dif- ficulty they were kept from rescuing him in the presence of all their oflicers. They openly damned them, and behaved with great insolence. However the colonel was pleased to pardon •Jesse Lukens was a son of Surveyor General John Lukens. He returned from Boston in the winter of .'1775, just in time to join Plunket's expedition against the Connecticut settlers at Wyoming, 25th December, In which he was mortally wounded, and died a few days after. A sad comment on his sportive letter. 10 COL. WILLIAM THOMPSON'S the man, and all remained quiet; but on Sunday last the ad- jutant having confined a sergeant for neglect of duty and mur- muring, the men began again, and threatened to take him out. The adjutant being a man of spirit, seized the principal mutin- eer and put him in also, and coming to report the matter to the colonel where we were all sitting after dinner, were alarmed with a huzzaing, and, upon going out, found they had broken open the guard-house and taken the man out. The colonel and lieutenant-colonel, with several officers and friends, seized the fellow from amongst them, and ordered a guard to take him to Cambridge to the main guard, which was done without any violent opposition, but in about twenty minutes thirty-two of Capt. Ross' company, with their loaded rifles, swore by God they would go to the main guard. and release the man or lose their lives, and set off as hard as they could run. It was in vain to attempt stopping them. We stayed in camp and kept the others quiet. Sent word to Gen. Washington, who reinforced the guard to five hundred men with fixed bayonets and loaded pieces. Col. Hitchcock's regiment (being the one next to us) was ordered under arms, and some part of Gen. Greene's bri- gade (as the generals were determined to subdue by force the mutineers, and did not know how far it might spread in our battalion). Gens. Washington, Lee, and Greene came im- mediately, and our thirty-two mutineers who had gone about a half a mile towards Cambridge and taken possession of a hill and woods, beginning to be frighted at their proceedings, were not so hardened, but upon the General's ordering them to ground their arms they did it immediately. The General then ordered another of our companies, Capt. Nagel's, to surround them with their loaded guns, which was immediately done, and did the company great honor. However, to convince our people (as I suppose, mind), that it did not altogether depend upon themselves, he ordered part of Col. Hitchcock's and Col. Little's regiments to surround them with their bayonets fixed, and ordered two of the ringleaders to be bound. I was glad to find our men all true and ready to do their duty except these thirty-two rascals. Twenty-six were conveyed to the quarter- guard on Prospect Hill, and six of the principals to the main guard. You cannot conceive what disgrace we are all in, and how much the General is chagrined that only one regiment should come from the South, and that set so infamous an ex- ample, and in order that idleness shall not be a further bane to us, the General's orders on Monday, were 'that Col. Thomp- son's regiment shall be upon all parties of fatigue (working parties), and do all other camp duty with any other regiment." BATTALION OF RIFLEMEN. 11 "The men have since been tried by a general court-martial and convicted of mutiny, and were only fined twenty shillings each for the use of the hospital— too small a punishment for so base a crime. Mitigated, no doubt, on account of their having come so far to serve the cause and its being the first crime. The men are returned to their camp and seem exceedingly sorry for their misbehavior and promise amendment. I charge our whole disgrace upon the remissness of our officers, and the men being employed will yet, no doubt, do honor to their Prov- inces. For this much I can only say for them that upon every alarm it was impossible for men to behave with more readiness or attend better to their duty; it is only in the camp that we cut a poor figure." In a general return of the army, dated September 23, 1775, the effective force present were three field officers, seven cap- tains, twenty lieutenants, chaplain, adjutant, quarter-master, surgeon and rnate, twenty-seven sergeants, six drummers and fifes, and four hundred and eighty-five rank and file fit for duty, forty-nine sick, one on command, and none on furlough. On the 17th of October, same number of officers present, and four hundred and seventy-one rank and file fit for duty, one on furlough. October 3. Hand writes to his wife: "Capt. Ross goes for Lancaster to-morrow. Henry Fortuey is well; his behavior does him credit. Mr. Henry, junior, has followed the troops to Canada without leave. Nothing but a perfect loose to his feelings will tame his rambling desire." October 23. Hand writes to Yeates from Prospect Hill: "One of our armed boats fell down to the mouth of Cam- bridge river, and sent a few shots into Boston. One of her guns bursted. Your old friend Worthington was on board, and had his shins broken. Gen. Washington is irritated by Capt. Ross' absence without his knowledge, and declared to Col. Thomp- son that any officer who went home from his regiment must resign his commission. Heard last night that Falmouth was in ashes. An officer. Parr, from Northumberland, with thirty men from us, marched for Portsmouth. 24th, they marched at dawn this morning." On the 9th of November occurred the skirmish at Lechmere's Point; for their alacrity in which. Col. Thompson and his bat- talion were publicly thanked by Gen. Washington, in general orders dated the 10th of November. The British had landed under cover of a fire from their Latteries on Bunker, Breed's, and Copp's Hills, as well as from a frigate which lay three hun- 12 COL. WILLIAM THOMPSON'S dred yards off the point. In a high tide it is an island. Col. Thompson marched instantly with his men, and though a very stormy day, they regarded not the tide, nor waited for boats, but took to the water, although up to their armpits, for a quar- ter of a mile, and notwithstanding the regulars' fire, reached the island, and although the enemy were lodged behind the walls and under cover, drove them to their boats. Loss, one killed and three wounded; British loss, seventeen killed and one wounded.— Philadelphia, Evening Post, 1775. Letters of Mrs. Adams, wife of John Adams, page 61. "Camp on Prospect Hill, 10th November, 1775. "I give you the particulars of the fun our regiment had yes- terday. About one, p. m., a number of regulars, taking advant- age of a high tide, landed from twenty boats on Lechmere Point to carry off some cattle. Six men of our regiment were on the point to take care of our horses; they did their utmost, and partly effected it. One poor fellow was taken; he was of Capt. Ross' company. I think his name was Burke. When the alarm was given. Col. Thompson was at Cambridge. I had gone to Watertown to receive the regiment's pay, but thanks to good horses, we arrived in time to march our regiment, which was the first ready, though the most distant of our brigade. Col. Thompson, who arrived before we had crossed the water, with thirteen men only of Ross' company, but not being supported by the musqueteers, before I could get up with the remainder of our regiment of duty, returned, and met Major Magaw and myself on the causeway; the whole then passed with the utmost diligence, up to our middles in water. David Ziegler, who acts as adjutant, tumbled over the bridge into ten or twelve feet water; he got out safe, with the damage 'of his rifle only. As soon as the battalion had passed the defile, we divided them into two parties, part of Capt. Chambers,' Capt. Miller's, and Lowdon's, with Major ilagaw and Col. Thompson, marched to the right of the hill, with part of Cluggage's, Nagel's, and Ross.' I took the left, as the enemy had ihe superiority of numbers, and the advantage of rising ground, with a stone wall in front, and a large barn on their right and flank, aided by a heavy fire of large grape-shot from their shipping and batteries. We had reason to expect a warm reception; but to the disgrace of British arms, be it spoken, by the time we had gained the top of the hill, they had gained their boats, and rowed off. We had BATTALION OF RIFLEMEN. 13 but one man wounded, I believe mortally, by a swivel ball, Alexander Creighton, of Ross' company. Wm. Hamilton need not grudge the money his son cost him. His coolness and resolution surpas.sed his years. Billy Burd had his eyes closed, by the dirt knocked off by a cannon ball. — Lieut. Col. Hand's letter to his wife, Hand manuscripts. Ibid. November 9: "We have appointed Rev. Blair, son-in- law to Dr. Shippen, our chaplain. He yesterday officiated for the first time." Ibid., November 10; "One of our poor fellows ot Capt. Ross' company, was taken; I think his name is Burk." The general return of December 30 shows present six cap- tains, seventeen lieutenants, twenty-four sergeants, five drums and fifes, three hundred and thirteen men fit for duty, eighty- five sick, forty-two on command, five on furlough. On the 1st of January, the new army organization 1776. commenced, and the rifle battalion became the first regiment of the Continental army. Its total strength reported at six hundred and ninety three officers and men. On the 6th of January, Major Magaw was commissioned colonel of the Fifth Penn'a, (and upon the return of Lieut. Col. Hand from furlough, received in November), on 2d of February, Col's. Thompson and Magaw set off for Pennsylvania, leaving Hand in command. The latter writes, on the 8th of March. "I am stationed on Cobble's Hill, with four companies of our regiment. Two companies, Cluggages' and Chambers,' were ordered to Dorchester on Monday; Ross and Lowdon relieved them yesterday. Every regiment is to have a standard and colors. Our standard is to be a deep green ground, the device a tiger partly enclosed by toils, attempting the pass, defended by a hunter armed with a spear (in white), on crimson field the motto Domari nolo."* On the 11th he writes: "The enemy seem to be preparing to depart. Our regiment is ordered to march at an hour's warning. New York is at present our destination." The regiment left Cambridge on the 14th, being detached by general order of the 13th, by Gen. Washington, with five other regiments, under the command of Gen. Sullivan to New York. Hand says: "I left on the 15th.' Hartford, 21st March, our regiment so far on the march to New York. New York, March 28, arrived here with the regiment •This standard is now in the possession of the State of Pennsjlvania, hav- ing been recently purchasod by Hin. M. S.

I received your letter by Capt. Ross. Day before yesterday received a letter from the president of Congress, ap- pointing me to the command of the rifle regiment. New York, March 28, I have just arrived with the regiment, Howe aban- doned Boston on the 17th. Two of my officers were in the town; is it little damaged. Mr. Hancock's house is left in perfect I'e- pair." Meanwhile, March 1, Col. Thompson was made a briga- dier general, and Hand became colonel, March 7, with Capt. James Chambers as lieutenant Colonel. On the 5th of April, Gen. Putnam detached three companies to scour the shores of Long Island, and they captured a midshipman with his boat and ten sailors. "April 12, I was moved to Long Island last Tuesday. My station is New Utrecht, eight miles from the ferry." — Hand. This remained the head-quarters of the regiment during May and June. On the 15th of April, Congress resolved to recruit and re- enlist this battalion and the independent rifle companies at- tached to it, for the term of two years, unless sooner discharg- ed. Before Gen. Washington was aware of this action on the part of Congress, on the 22d of April, he wrote the President of Congress from New York: "The time for which the riflemen enlisted will expire on the 1st of July next, and as the loss of such a valuable and brave body of men will be of great injury to the service. I would sub- mit it to the consideration of Congress whether it would not be best to adopt some method to induce them to continue. They are, indeed, a very useful corps; but I need not mention this, as their importance is already well known to the Congress." On the 24th of April, it was the First regiment of the Third brigade, Gen. Sullivan's, and on the 5th of May, its total strength, officer and mens, five hundred and seven. On the 30th of June the time of those who aid not re-enlist expired. "Almost all the men discharged to-day declare that they will stay to know what the fleet will do."— Hand's letter, June 30, 1776. On the first of July it entered upon another term of ser- vice, as the First regiment of the Pennsylvania Line in the* Continental service. The rank of the captain of this battalion cannot be ascer- tained from the records; the rolls are, therefore, inserted in the alphabetical order of captains' names. Reference is made to the roster and rolls of the First Penn'a, Continental line, for the names of officers and privates who continued in service. These rolls are made up principally from imperfect rolls among BATTALION OF RIFLEMEN. Ig the Hand papers, "Military," now in the office of the Secretary of War, at Washington, D. C, for the inspection of which, and permission to copy, the editors are indebted to Hon. J. Donald Cameron then Secretary of War. Much information was also obtained from such of Gen. Hand's papers as are still in the possession of his grand-daughter, Mrs. S. B. Rogers, of Lan- caster city. It appears by a certificate of Jacob Howell, dated April 7, 1794, that there were no rolls for 1775 in the account- ant's office of the War Department. ROSTER OF FIELD AND STAFF OFFICERS, (a.)

ROLL OF CAPTAIN MICHAEL DOUBLE'S COMPANY, (a.) This company was enlisted principally at Samuel Gettys' Tavern, now Gettysburg, June 24, 1775. Left York for Boston July 1, arrived at Cambridge, Mass., July 25, at one p. m. The committee of Yorktown, on the 1st of July, 1775, wrote to the Pennsylvania delegates in Congress: "Gentlemen: We had the honor of receiving your favor of the 15th ult., enclosing a resolve of the Honorable Continental Congress of the 14th ult. We immediately summoned the com- mittee of this county and laid before them your letter, &c. The committee proceeded to the choice of officers fit to be rec- ommended to the Congress, and appointed six commissioners to provide necessaries for them. Every resolve passed in commit- tee with the greatest unanimity, and the gentlemen of York- town, after the meeting, dispersed themselves through the county, and assisted the officers in recruiting. "The officers we take the liberty to recommend to you, are Captain Michael Doudel, Lieutenants Henry Miller, John Dill and James Matsou. They are men whose courage we have the highest opinion of. The company, including officers and sol- diers, are beyond the number fixed for this county, and as Gen. Gates though it improper to discharge any, we have sent them all. We hope no alteration will be made in the officers. The captain has behaved very well on this occasion, and has done BATTALION OF RIB^LEMEN. 23 all in his power, by advancing money, &c., to forward the im- portant common cause. Mr. Miller is known to some of you gentlemen. The other officers are men of worth and property; they have all wives and families, and are entitled to the warm- est thanks of their country. (Signed) JAMES SMITH, GEORGE IRVIN, JOHN KEAN, JOSEPH DONALDSON, THOMAS HARTLEY, MICHAEL HAHN. "P. S. The company began their march the nearest road to Boston this day." Extract of a letter I'eceived in Philadelphia, dated Cambridge, July 31, 1775: "Last Friday [29th July], we were informed by our out sen- tries at the foot of Bunker's Hill, that the enemy had cut down several large trees, and were busy all night in throwing up a line and abattis in front of it. In the evening orders were given to the York County Rifle Company to march down to our advanced post, on Charlestown Neck, to endeavor to sur- round the enemy's advanced guard, and bring off some pris- oners, from whom we expected to learn the enemy's design in throwing up the abattis in the Neck. The rifle company di- vided, and executed their plan in the following manner: Capt. Doudel, with thirty-nine men, filed off to the right of Bunker's Hill, and, creeping on their hands and knees, got into the rear of the enemies sentries without being discovered. The other division, of forty men, under Lieut. Miller, were equally successful in getting behind the sentries on the left, and were within a few yards of joining the division on the right, when a party of regulars came down the hill to relieve their giiard, and crossed our riflemen under Capt. Doudel, as they were lying on the ground in an Indian file. The regulars were with- in twenty yards of our riflemen before they saw them, and im- mediately fired. The riflemen returned the salute, killed sev- eral, and brought off two prisoners and their muskets with the loss of Corporal Crouse [Cruise], who is supposed to be killed, as he has not been heard of since the affair." The roll which follows does not comprise more than one- half the strength of Capt. Doudel's company. All research has failed to complete it. 24 COL. WILLIAM THOMPSON'S Captains.

[Enlisted in Cumberland county, in June, 1775.] Henry McEwen, in his application for a pension, states u^at "Hendricks' company left Carlisle on the 15th of July, 1775, and arrived in camp at Cambridge on the 8th of August." The records show the rank and file numbered eighty-five men. The following names are taken from Judge Henry's narrative, pen- sion-rolls, and documents among the archives of the State. Congress, Oct'^ber 15, 1776, allowed the executors of Captain Hendricks, eighty-five dollars, one dollar for each man enlisted by him, which was no doubt the strength of his company. In Provost Smith's oration on the death of General Mont- 26 COL. WILLIAM THOMPSON'S gomery, and his officers, delivered February 19, 1776, before the Continental Congress, he thus alluaes to Capt. Hendricks: "I must not, however, omit the name of the brave Captain Hendricks, who com- y manded one of the t «-- /i^'^/^^y^'-^^^^^^ Pennsylvania riue com- '^ panies, and was known to me from his infancy. He was, indeed, prodigal of his life, and courted danger out of his tour of duty. The command of the guard belonged lo him on the morning of the attack, but he solicited, and obtained leave to take a more conspicuous post, and having led his men through the barrier; where his com- manding officer, General Arnold, was wounded, he long sus- tained the fire of the garrison with unshaken firmness, till, at last, receiving a shot in his breast, he immediately expired. These particulars were certified by General Thompson, and Col- onel Magaw, his commanders in the Pennsylvania rifle regi- ment, and they gave me this further character of him in their letter: 'No fatigues of duty ever discouraged him; he paid the strictest attention to his company, and was ambitious that they should excel in discipline, so]3riety, and order. His social and domestic virtues you were well acquainted with." Captain Hendricks was born in Cumberland county, on the place long known as Tobias Hendricks', near Oyster's Point, two miles west of Harrisburg. He was buried at Quebec, in the same enclosure with General Montgomery, on the south side. In reference to Lieut. McClellan, the following extract from a letter addressed by him to Capt. James Chambers, at Ireland's farm, near Cambridge, will be of interest. It is dated Norridge- wock. Me., October, 1775: "Sir: With my best wishes, I send this to inform you that it is your indispensable duty to thank God for not permitting the devil to put in into General Wash- ington's head to send you here." He then gives an account of the wretched country through which they passed and thinks their sufferings a suflicient punishment for all their sins. Captain. Hendricks, William. June 2.5, 1775; killed in action at Quebec, January 1, 1776. First Lieutenant. McClellan, John, died on the march through the wilderness, November 3, 1775; he left a daughter, Priscilla, who resided in Cumberland county in 1787. then aged fourteen years, whose descendants still reside in Juniata county.

The journal of Aaron Wright, New York Historical Magazine, 1862, page 209, states, that Capt. Lowdon's company was sworn in at Northumberland, June 29, 1775, after which "we chose our officers and lay there until the 7th of July, when we got orders to march next morning. When on parade our first lieutenant came and told us he would be glad if we would excuse him from going, which we refused, but on consideration we all con- cluded it was better to consent. * * * j^ the even- ing we chose a private in his place. The next morning we marched on board the boats, &c. July 13, reached Reading, where we got our knapsacks, blankets, &c." They left Reading 30 COL. WILLIAM THOMPSON'S on the 20th of July, and were at Bethlehem on the 1st of Au- gust; reached North River opposite New Windsor, August 20. On the 24th, marched through Litcnfield, Conn., crossed the Connecticut near Hartford on the 26th, and reached Dudley, Mass., on the 30th of August. On the 31st they marched to Weston, and stayed all night; thence through Framingham, Watertown, tO' Cambridge; thence to Prospect Hill. As the return, ante, of August 18, 1775, includes nine captains and twenty-seven lieutenants, the field officers who arrived on the 17th, may have included this company before its arrival, or Aaron Wright may have been with rear arrivals. The pri- vates were from the West Branch valley, around and north of Sunbury, and among them were Samuel Brady, Peter Pence, Timothy Murphy, and others who became noted in the annals of border warfare. Timothy Murphy, of Northumberland, was vvith ^apt. Parr, under Col. Morgan, at Stillwater and Sara- toga, and was the soldier who shot Gen. Frazer in the action of the 7th of October, 1777. See Simm's Schoharie, page 259. Lossing's Field Book, a'oI. i. page 62. Capt. John Lowdon re- sided, when he raised this company, on his farm called "Silvor Spring," adjoining now the town of Mifflinburg, in Union county, where he died in February, 1798, in his sixty-eighth year. He was a member of the Supreme Executive Council, elected November 4, 1776. First Lieutenant James Parr was from Buffalo Valley, near New Columbia. He rose to the rank of Major, and became noted throughout the army for daring and intrepidity. His history subsequent to the Revolution seems altogether lost. He died prior to 1804. James Wilson, second lieutenant, was a noted surveyor in Northumberland county prior to the war. William Wilson, third lieutenant, or ensign, served the entire period of the war. On the 13th of January, 1792, he was appointed associate judge of Northumberland county, which office he held until his death, in 1813. Sergeant David Hammond rose to the rank of first lieuten- ant, and served throughout the war. He was severely wounded in Wayne's attack upon the block-house at Bergen Point, near Jersey City, July 21, 1780. He never recovered from the effects of his wound, which caused his death April 27, 1801, aged fifty- five. He is buried in the Chillisquaque grave-yard. He was the father of the late Gen. R. H. Hammond, of Milton, Penn'a, and grandfather of Lieut. Thos. C. Hammond, who fell in the Mexican war, at San Pasqual, December 6, 1846. BATTALION OF RIFLEMEN. 31 Captain. Lowilon, John, June 25, 1775.

Lowdon's company for March, 1776, indi- cates the presence of a captain, three lieutenants, four ser- geants, four corporals and seventy privates, signed James Wilson, lieutenant. Some of the privates of this company also served their coun- try upon the soil of every one of the original thirteen States and through the entire period of the war, as appears from "the petition presented to the Legislature of Pennsylvania', March 13, 1817: "The petition of John Youse, a resident of Rockland town- ship, Berks county, humbly showeth: "That your petitioner first enlisted in the county of North- umberland, under Captain Lowdon, in 1775, and marched to Boston in the first campaign in the Revolutionary war with Great Britain. Was in a slight engagement there, at Ploughed Hill, and in several battles and scrimmages "on Long Island, and at the taking of the Hessians at the battle of Trenton, on the second Christmas day in the year. — At the battle of Bruns- wick, where I received a wound in the left hip [15th June, 1777], and was at the taking of Burgoyne, in the rifle corps commanded by Col. Morgan and Major Parr, my captain then. I was one of the party of the corps in the expedition against the Indians at Genessee, Seneca, &c., and was one of the party of five who survived out of twenty-four in a scouting party, and forty-one days of that campaign was on half rations. I was at the taking of Stony Point, and at the attack on the Block House [Bergen's Point, July 21, 1780], Gen. Wayne our commander. I was one of the eight hundred at Green Springs, in Virginia [July 6, 1781], in that hard engagement. My last service was on James Island, in South Carolina, and I have never received any satisfaction for back rations to this day; and for my certificates for my pay, my indigent circumstances obliged me to sell for fifty cents per twenty shillings, and for my said pay, it being State money, I passed for what was called silk money, which silk money went to nothing. So that I lost in a manner all my long, hard eight year earnings. I BATTALION OF RIFLEMEN. 35 am now unable to procure a livelihood by labor; therefore, I pray your honorable body to commiserate my miserable situa- tion, and place me on the pension list, so that I may not be- come chargeable to the township where I live.

(a) (.5) 56 FIRST PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION, FIRST PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION, (a.) This Battalion was raised in pursuance of a resolution of Congress, of the 12th clay of October, 1775, recommending the Assembly or Committee of Safety of Pennsylvania to raise one battalion, on the same terms as those ordered to be raised in New Jersey, and to be officered in like manner. 1775. Each battalion was to consist of eight companies — each compnay of sixty-eight privates, officered with one captain, one lieutenant, one ensign, four sergeants, and four corporals. Privates to be enlisted for one year, at five dollars per month, liable to be discharged at any time, on al- lowing them one month's pay. Each private to be allowed, in- stead of bounty, one felt hat, a pair of yarn stockings, and a pair of shoes; the men to find their own arms. Pay of the officers to be the same as that of the officers of the Conti- nental army. The men enlisted to be furnished with a hunting shirt, not exceeding in value one and one-third of a dollar, and a blanket, provided, these can be procured, but not to be made part of the terms of enlistment. — Journals of Congress, vol. i, pages 200 and 203. The captains were recommended by the Pennsylvania As- sembly, on the 25th of October, and commissioned by Congress on the 27th. The field officers were elected by Congress on the 25th of November. Col. John Bull resigned on the 1776. 20th of January, 1776, in a communication to Congress, setting forth that he was ill-treated by many of the officers in his corps, and that near one-half of them threatened to resign their commissions if he continued in command, which at a time when they were under marching orders might be pro- ductive of bad consequence to the service. He stated, also, that the circumstances would not alter his conduct or abate his zeal, and whenever called upon again to serve his country, he would, with the greatest pleasure, obey the summons.* *For a biographical notice of Col. Bull, see vol. i Second Series Pennsyl- vania Archives, page 12. Col. Bull died at Northumberland, Penn'a, Au- gust 9, 1824, aged ninety-four years. COL. JOHN PHILIP DE HAAS. 57 ♦Philadelphia, November 26, 1775. Parole, Coucord: The honorable the Continental Congress having been pleased to appoint Col. John Bull, Esquire, to be colonel of the Penn- sylvania battalion in the army of the United Colonies, he this day, in consequence thereof, assumes the command of said bat- lation, and flatters himself that the alacrity shown by the of- ficers and men in entering into the service is a proof that they are animated with a genuine love of liberty, and determined at every hazard to preserve their rights and privileges, which the foes of this distressed country are striving to wrest from them. From men actuated by such motives, Col. Bull has the great- est reason to expect a ready and cueerful obedience to orders, and that the whole of their behavior, during the present un- happy contest, will be such as fully to answer the purposes for which they are raised. But should any disgrace themselves, and the cause in which they are engaged by drunkenness, rioting, and other disorderly behavior, and instead of supporting the laws of their country should disturb the peace thereof, by insulting the inhabitants or abusing the peace officers, they may depend on being pun- ished with severity. Colonel Bull, however, conceives better from the men now under his command, and shall always take a greater pleasure in applauding them for their good conduct than punishing them for their bad. James Irvine is appointed lieutenant colonel and Anthony James Morris, major of the battalion, and are to be obeyed accordingly. The several captains to make out exact returns of their re- spective companies, mentioning the men's names and where now resident, the number of guns (and whether proved or not), bayonets, &c., and deliver them to Major Morris, on Tuesday next, at ten o'clock in the morning. Also what state the barracks are in and how the men are pro- vided with blanketing and other necessities. To continue training the men and mounting guard as usual, until further orders. By order of the Colonel, (Signed,) ANTHONY JAMES MORRIS, Major. ♦From Caiit. Josi.Th Haniiar's orderly book, Haimar Manuscripts, fur- nished by C.

Gen Schuyler says they were much thinned by sick- ness and desertion, and came very ill provided; the better half of their arms required repairs, and the whole were to be fur- nished with shoes, socks, mittens, &c. These companies marched to New York, where they em- barked in sloops, which carried them up to Albany. From Al- bany they passed on up the Hudson to Fort Edwards, which was situated on the west bank of that river, forty-eight miles north of Albany; thence to Fort William Henry, afterwards called Fori George, at the south end of Lake St. George; thence in batteaux to the foot of that lake; thence they marched across the portage two and one half miles, to Fort Ticonderoga, which was on the western shore of Lake Champlain, near the outlet of Lake George, and about ninety-seven miles north by east from Albany; thence they sailed to Crown Point, five miles fur- ther, on the same side of the lake. Lake Champlain stretches one hundred and twenty miles to the north, and pours its waters through the Sorel into the St. Lawrence at Sorel, which is forty-five miles from Montreal and one hundred and thirty-five miles from Quebec. This lake was commanded by the fortresses of Ticonderoga and Crown Point. Passing down Lake Champlain in sailing vessels, in those days, ordinarily St. Johns was reached in two or three days, passing Isle Aux Noix on the way, which was twelve miles south of St. John's. St. John's is situated on the west shore of the River Sorel, or Richelieu, at the head of Chambly canal, and at the foot of the navigable waters of Lake Champlain, distant from Montreal twenty-seven miles and Chambly twelve. From Chambly, Moftitreai lies a little north of west, eighteen miles, a line drawn between the two places forming the base of a triangle formed by the rivers St. Lawrence and Sorel, the apex of which is at Sorel, forty-five miles, or thereabouts^ from either point. La Chine was up the St. Lawrence, in a south-east direction, nine miles, on Montreal Island, on the north side of the river, and directly across the river from La Chine, on the south side, was the Indian village of Caughnawaga. The Cedars was up the same river, near the rapids of the same name, and twenty-nine miles from Montreal, on the North side of the river. From Sorel, at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Rich- elieu, to Trois River, or Three Rivers, the distance is forty-five miles down the St. Lawrence. Three Rivers is situate at the mouth of the St. Maurice river, west side, and north side of St. Lawrence, equi-distant ninety miles from Montreal and Quebec. I COL. JOHN PHILIP DE HAAS. 63 To Deschambaiilt, which is also on the north side of the St. Lawrence, it is forty-two miles from Three Rivers, and from Deschambaiilt to Quebec, forty-eight. Lieut. Talbot, with the First Penn'a battalion company pass- ed Three Rivers on the 1st of March, with sixty men; Lieut. Hughes, on the 10th, with sixty; Capt. Jenkins, on the 12th, with eight men, his company having chiefly passed on before; Lieut. Stayner, on the 22d, with eighty-one men; Lieut. Col. Irvine and Major Morris. On the 30th of March the return of troops under Arnold before Quebec makes Col. de Haas' batta- lion two hundred and twenty-five strong, being four companies. On the 12th of April there were two companies back with Gen. Thomas, at Fort George, and two companies with Col. de Haas, and the rest of the staff, still on their way from New York. Gen. Wooster arrived at Quebec on the 1st of April, and took command, Gen. Arnold going to Montreal. Gen. Thomas ar- rived in front of Quebec on the 1st of May. On the 6th the armj was compelled to retreat, which was continued to Descham- bault; thence to Three Rivers, v.'hich was reached on the IStlt^; thence to Sorel. Capt. Jones' company, Jenkins', &c., took part in the engagement near Three Rivers, on the 9th of June, where quite a number of the men were captured, together Avith the Rev. Daniel McCalla, the chaplain. On the 14th of June, Gen. Sullivan retreated from Sorel, and reached St. John's on the 16th, Isle Aux Noix on the 18th. From this date the military service of this battalion is blended with that of the battalions of St. Clair, Wayne, and Irvine, postea. On the 24th of May, the British commander, Foster, with a part of the garrison at Detroit, and in conjunction with Indians and Canadians, numbering one thousand men, who had cap- tured Col. Bedell's regiment, which was stationed at the Cedars, and defeated Major Sherbourne, who was sent to release him, seriously threatened the capture of Arnold and his forces at La Chine. On the 25th, about eight o'clock A. M., Col. de Haas, who had been detached from the Sorel, with Capts. Harmar, William Butler, Lamar, and Capt. Nelson's company, one hun- dred and ten riflemen, and three hundred musketeers, came up and relieved Arnold, causing Foster to retreat, following him to Fort Ann, at the head of Montreal Island. On the 30th, Arnold issued a peremptory order to de Haas to cross the Grand river, at the head of Montreal Island, and destroy the Indian rillage of Canasadago. but de Haas called a council of war, that disapproved of the enterprise to the chagrin of most of his of- ficers, and fell back to La Chine, and from thence to Montreal. 64 FIRST PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. On the ISth June, late in the evening, Gen. Arnold was ad- vised by Capt. Wilkinson, whom he had sent to Sorel, that he had met Careton's forces at Varenne, on the south bank of the St. Lawrence, fourteen miles below Montreal. Arnold hastily crossed the river, the name night, with his troops, including de Haas' detachment, to Longueuil, and made a march of twenty- six miles in one day, by La Prairie, to St. John's which he reached on the 16th. Here, for the first time, all the companies of the Penn'a battalion were united as a battalion, for, as Gen. Sullivan writes on the 8th of June, from Sorel, "Gen. Arnold has kept de Haas' detachment dancing between this place and Montreal even since my arrival." Col. de Haas' detachment, with the colonel, were the last that came up the Hudson, and never reached Thomas at Quebec, where the rest of the bat- talion, with Lieut. Col. Irvine and Major Morris, had been. Its history, after this date, is the same as that of the Second battalion, postea, until it was relieved from duty. A return, dated at Ticonderoga, October 20, 1766, shows the field officers and all the staff, excep"^ the chaplain, who had been captured, present; all the captains, except William Jenkins, who was absent with leave of Gen. Gates, from August 5; all the lieutenants present; all the ensigns, except Ensign J. P. de Haas, absent with leave from August 5; twenty-three sergeants present, seven sick absent, and three on command; seven drums and fifes; of the officers, Major Anthony J. Morris, Lieuten- ants George Jenkins and Jacob Ashmead were present, sick. Total rank and file, four hundred and sixty-nine; wanting to complete of ditto, two hundred and forty-five. Total strength of the regiment five hundred and forty. "The arms are in tolerable order but of different caliber. The accoutrements bad, many baynets wanting. The men almost naked, and have been so two-thirds of the campaign. Their clothing, when they marched from Philadelphia, being very scanty, and not a second shirt to their backs. The pitiful supplies of sundry articles which they received since, were bad of the kind, and at most exhorbitant prices. On our arrival at the Isle. Aux Noix, after the retreat from Quebec, the regiment mustered upwards of five hundred rank and file fit for duty. By comparing the above return with the then state of the reg- iment, it will appear that they have suffered from the exces- sive fatigue they have gone through; the want of proper cloth- ing to cover, and the want of blankets and tents to shelter them from the weather. To this day, we have not tents sufficient for two-thirds of the men. and those we have were old when COL. JOHN PHILIP DE HAAS. 65 we received them. A regimental commissary and paymaster is unknown to us. (The latter I have been myself.) The quarter- master has never been enabled by the public to supply the reg- iment in a proper manner. After the hardships of a winter cam- paign in Canada, with those they have since experienced, there is not the least reason to think that any of the men will re- enlist at this place. The merit of those officers who can afford and choose to continue in the service on the present inadequate terms will be best determined after the expected attack. J. P. DE HAAS, Colonel. "N. B. Captain Nelson's company of riflemen is willing to continue in the service in the First Pennsylvania regiment." On the 13th of November, this battalion was taken off duty at Ticonderoga, and ordered to embark the next morning for Fort George. It was raised, as appears by a note to the fore- going return, "to the 27th of October," but remained three weeks longer, at Gen. Gates' request, for the defense and se- curity of Ticonderoga, for which the General thanked them in general orders of the 14th. It was then evident that the British had gone into winter quarters, and would make no further at- tempts that fall to come southward. Gen. St. Clair came along down with this battalion to join Gen. V/ashington, and when, on the 8th of December, it reached New Germantown, in New Jersey, the field officers and staff were still with the battalion, together with Captains Harhiar, Dorsey, and Davis, but the rank and file were reduced to sixty- nine men, the rest having scattered off to their homes. "In Council of Safety, "Philadelphia, 20th December, 1776. "Ordered, That Col. de Haas, and all the officers of his bat- talion who are in this city that intend to continue in the service of the State, do apply to this Council for recruiting orders, by Monday, 23d inst., and that Col. de Haas make return to this Council of all the officers of his battalion who intend to con- tinue in the service on the new establishment, on Monday next, at ten A. M."

Col. de Haas endorses: "This is to certify, that during the time I had the honor to command the above gentlemen, they behaved themselves like gentlemen, and as became good soldiers."

CLAIR. JANUARY, 1776— JANUARY, 1777. (a) ( 79 ) 80 SECOND PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. SECOND PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION, (a.) This Battalion was raised upon the authority of a resolution of Congress, dated the 9th of December, 1775, which was in words following: "Resolved, That an order issue for raising four battalions more in the colony of Pennsylvania, on the same terms 1775. as the one already raised." On the 15th, it further resolved, "that the Commit- tee of Safety for the colony of Pennsylvania be requested to recommend proper persons for field officers, and appoint proper persons for officers in the said battalions, under the rank of major." As it was associated with the Fourth battalion. Col. Wayne, and the Sixth, Col. William Irvine, while in active service, its history mingles with that of theirs, which will be included in this notice. On the 2d of January, the Council of Safety recom- 1776. mended Colonels Wayne and St. Clair, and they were elected and commissioned by Congress on the 3d. The lieutenant colonels and majors were chosen on the 4th, and a resolution passed, that one company of each battalion consist of expert riflemen. On the 16th of February, the secret committee of Congress was directed to furnish Col. St. Clair's battalion with arms, and to write to him to use the utmost diligence in getting his bat- talion ready, and to march the companies as fast as they were ready, one at a time, to Canada. On the 20th, Col. Wayne was directed to march his battalion to New York, and put himself under the command of Gen. Lee. On the 13th of March, Lieut. Col. Allen had arrived in New York, and embarked some of the companies for Albany, and received an order from Gen. Stirling to direct the rest of the companies to proceed to New York, where quarters would be found for them. On the 14th of March, Col. Irvine was ordered to march his battalion to New York, and put himself under the orders of the commanding officer of the continental troops there. On the 20th, he reports, frorr Carlisle, his regim.ent seven hundred and COL. ARTHUR ST. CLAIR. 81 ten strong, and that he would comply with orders with all pos- sible expedition. On the 12th of April, five companies of the Second were at Fort Edwards, waiting for the lake to open, they remained until the 19th, when they were ordered up to Fort George, fourteen miles beyond. On the 24th of April, three companies of Wayne's battalion and Irvine's battalion were at New York, in the Fourth brigade, under the command of Gen. Greene, when some of Irvine's soldiers were court-martialed for disobedience of orders. Cor- porals Milliken and John McBride, found not guilty. Corporal Shickelhenny reduced to the ranks. John McGee and George Conner sentenced to a few days' imprisonment. On the 26th, Wayne and Irvine's battalions were ordered by Gen. Washing- ton to embark for Canada. On the 28th, it appears by a gen- eral return of the regiments going to Canada, made at New York, that Col. Irvine's battalion, including officers, was seven hundred and seventy strong, and Col. Wayne's seven hundred and twenty-eight. On the 10th of May, Col. Irvine's whole battalion was at Al- bany, with two companies of Col. Wayne's. Irvine's started for Lake Champlain on the 13th. On the 6th of May, Lieut. Col. Allen, with the Second bat- talion, had passed Deschambault, and was within three miles of Quebec, where he met Gen. Thomas with the army retreating from Quebec. On the 7th, at a council of war, at which he was present, it was determined that the army should continue the retreat as far as the Sorel. Thomas, with the army, left Deschambault on the 13th and was at Three Rivers on the 15th, with about eight hundred men. On the 20th, Gen. Thomas was at Sorel, and the same day issued an order to Col. Maxwell, to abandon Three Rivers, which he did, and with the rear of the army reached Sorel on the 24th. Gen. Thompson and Col. St. Clair crossed over from Chambly to Montreal, and left the latter place for the mouth of the Sorel on- the 15th, and arrived at Sorel on the 16th, and on the 24th, Gen. Thompson was in command there. Wayne's detachment and Irvine's battalion passed Lake George on the 24th, with Gen. Sullivan, (the distance from Fort Edwards, on the Hudson, is fifteen miles; the length of that lake, thirty-six miles; from the north end of Lake George to I.ske Champlain, one and one-half miles; from there to fort 6— Vol. II— 5th Ser. 82 SKCONI) PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. Ticonderoga, one aud oue-half miles; from thence to St. John's, about one hundred and twenty miles), and embarked at Ticon- deroga, arriving at St. John's on the 27tb. On the 2d of June Gen. Thompson sent Col. St. Clair from Sorel with over six hundred men to attack the camp of Col. McLean, who had advanced as far as Three Rivers, with eight hundred British regulars and Canadians. Gen. Sullivan was at Chambly on the 3d, and reached Sorel on the 4th, and as- sumed command (Gen. Thomas having died on the 2d). On the 6th Gen. Sullivan ordered Gen. William Thompson to march, with Col. Irvine's and Wayne's battalions, with the companies of Col. St. Clair then remaining at Sorel, to join Col. St. Clair at Nicolette, where he was to take command of the whole party, and, unless he found the number of the enemy at Three Rivers to be such as would render an attack upon them hazardous, he should cross the river at the most conve- nient place he could find, and attack them. He advised him not to attack, if the prospect of success was not much in his favor, as a defeat of his party at the time might prove the total loss of that country. The following letter from Lieut. Col. Thomas Hartley to Jasper Yeates, Esquire, gives a full detail of the subsequent occurrences : "Camp at Sorel, June the 12th, 1776. "Before the arrival of Col. Wayne's and Irvine's regiments, under the command of Gen. Sullivan, Col. St. Clair, with a de- tachment of seven hundred men, was sent down the river St. Lawrence, about nine leagues, to watch the motions of the enemy, and act occasionally. Gen Sullivan's arrival here was at a critical time. Canada was lost, unless some notable ex- ertion; the credit of our arms gone, and no number of Amer- ican troops to sustain our posts. It was said that the taking of Three Rivers, with such troops as were on it, would be of ser- vice. A detachment under Gen. Thompson was sent down the river. The corps under Col. St. Clair was to join it, and if the General thought it expedient, he was ordered by Gen. Sul- livan to attack the enemy at Three Rivers. "We left this on the evening of the 5th instant, in several bat- teaux, and joined Col. St. Clair about twelve o'clock at night. It being too late to proceed on to the Three Rivers, the enter- prise wiis postponed until the next uigbt. COl.. ARTHUR ST. CLAIR. s:{ "In the dusk of the evening of the 7th, we set off from the Nicolette. with about fifteen hundred rank and file, besides ofla- cers. It was Intended to attack Three Rivers about day break in four places. Thompson landed his forces about nine miles above the town, on the north side of the St. Lawrence, and di- vided his army into five divisions, Maxwell, St. Clair, Wayne, and Irvine, each commanding a division, and I had the honor of commanding the reserve. Leaving two hundred and fifty men to guard the batteaux, the army proceed swiftly towards the town. I was to be ready to sustain the party which might need assistance. 'The guides proved faithless, and the General was misin- formed as to the number of the enemy as well as to the sit- uation of the town. Our men had lost their sleep for two nights, yet were in pretty good spirits. Daylight appeared, and showed us to the enemy. Our guides (perhaps traitors) had led us through several windings, and were rather carrying us off from the post. The General was enraged at their conduct. "There were mutual firings. Our people killed some in a barge. Our scheme was no longer an enterprise, it might have been, perhaps, prudent to have retreated, but no one would pro- pose it. We endeavored to penetrate through a swamp to the town, and avoid the shipping. We had no idea of the difficul- ties we were to surmount in the mire, otherwise the way by the shipping would have been preferred. "We waded three hours through the mud, about mid-deep in general, the man fasting. We every moment expected to get through and find some good ground to form on, but were de- ceived. The second division, under Col. Wayne, saw a part of the enemy and attacked them. Capt. Hay. of our regiment (Sixth battalion), with his company of riflemen, assisted and behaved nobly. Col. Wayne advanced, the enemy's light in- fantry were driven from their ground, and the Indians on their flanks were silenced. "The great body of the enemy, which we knew nothing of, consisting of two or three thousand men, covered with In- trenchments, and assisted with the cannon of the shipping and ^^everal field pieces, began a furious fire, and continued it upon our troops in the front. It was so heavy that the division gave way, and from the badness of the ground could not form sud- denly again. Col. St. Clair's division advanced, but the fire was too heavy. Part of Col. Irvine's division, especially the riflemen, went up towards the enemy. I understood the army 84 SECOND PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. was in confusion. I consulted some friends, and led up the reserve within a short distance of the enemy. Capt. McClean's and Grier's company advanced with spirit; McClean's men took the best situation, and within eighty yards of the enemy, ex- posed to the fire of the shipping, as hot as hell. I experienced some of it. "Not a man of McClean's company behaved ill, Grier's com- pany behaved well. Several of the enemy were killed in the attack of the reserve. Under the disadvantages, our men would fight; but we had no covering, no artillery, and no prospect of succeeding, as the number of the enemy was so much superior to ours. Colonels Wayne and Allen rallied part of our men, and kept up a fire against the English from the swamp. The enemy, in the meantime, dispatched a strong body to cut off our retreat to the boats, when it was thought expedient to retreat. Our General and Col. Irvine were not to be found; they had both gone up (to the front) in a very hot fire. This gave us great uneasiness, but a retreat was necessary. This could not be done regularly, as we could not regain the road, on account of the enemy's shipping and artillery, and we went off, in small parties through the swamp. Colonels Wayne and Allen gathered some hundreds together, and I have got as many in my division as I could, with several others, amounting to upwards of two hundred. "Col. Wayne, with his party, and I, with mine, tried several ways to get to our batteaux. Col. Wayne was obliged, not far from the river, to march by seven hundred of the enemy. He intended to attack them regularly, but his people were so much fatigued that it wes deemed unsafe. The enemy fired their small arms and artillery on our men as loud as thunder. They returned a retreating fire. Several of the enemy were killed and wounded. We came within a mile of where our boats were but our guard* had carried them off. The English had posses- sion of the ground where we landed. Their shipping proceeded up the river, covering parties sent to take possession of the ferries we were to pass. "Col. Wayne, with his party, lay near the enemy. I passed through a prodigious swamp, and at night took possession of a hill near the enemy. We were without food and the water very bad. I mounted a small quarter guard, fixed my alarm •Major Joseph Wood, who commandod this Kuard, saved all the boats, ex- cept two. I COL. ARTHUR ST. CLAIR. 85 post, and made every man lay down on the ground, on which he was to rise for action in case of an attack. I slept a little by resting my head on a cold bough of spruce. "Morning dawned (Sunday, 9th June), and I consulted our officers and men. They said they were refreshed with sleep. It was agreed to stand together, that they would support me, and effect a passage through the enemy, or die in the attempt. A little spring water refreshed us more. The necessary disposi- tions were made, but we had no guides. We heard the enemy within a half mile of us, but no one seemed alarmed, so we pro- ceeded, and, luckily, fell in with Col. Wayne's track. We pur- sued it, and overtook him near the river Du Lac. This made us upwards of seven hundred strong, and we agreed to attack the enemy if they fell in our way to Bokie (Berthier), opposi',^ Sorel. We were sure they would attempt the fort at Sore} before we could arrive; but as we came up, the English Irift the ferries, and drew all their forces back to Three Rivers. Bj forced marches, and surmounting every difficulty, we got up crossed the river, and arrived at Sorel Monday afternoon (lOt June). We brought near twelve hundred men back wit our party. Many are yet missing — one hundred and fifty o two hundred. Some scattered ones are continually coming in, so that our loss will not be so gi'eat as was first imagined. "Col. Wayne behaved exceedingly well, and showed himself the man of courage and the soldier. Col. Allen exerted himself, and is a fine fellow. Col. Maxwell was often in the midst of danger. His own division was not present to support him. He was also very useful in the retreat, after he joined Col. Wayne. Lieut. Edie, of the York troops, I fear is killed. He was a fine young fellow, and behaved bravely. He approached the enemy's works without dismay several times, and remained in the swamp to the last. He was in the second engagement, where, it is supposed, he was killed. Ensign Hopes, of the same com- pany was wounded near the breast-work, when I led up the reserve. I cannot give too much commendation of him. He showed the greatest courage after he had received several wounds in the arm. He stood his ground and animated his men. He nobly made good his retreat with me, through a swamp of near eighteen miles long. The ball has hurt the bone. Several of our men were killed — I apprehend between thirty and fifty. The rest missing, have been taken, quite worn out with fatigue and hunger. "P. S. June 13. Last night, a sort of flag of truce came from the enemy. Gen Thompson, Col. Irvine (William), Dr. Mc- 86 SECOND PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. Kenzie, Lieutenants Edie, Currie, and f-arson McCalla (of the First) are prisoners. They were taken up by some of the ras- cally Canadians, in the most treacherous manner."* On the 14th, Burgoyne reached the Sorel with a column of British troops, the rear of Gen. Sullivan's army having only left a few hours before. Gen. Philips, with the rignt column of the British, consisting of his division and the Brunswick troops, under Geo. Riedesel, passed on up the river St. Lawrence to Longueuil, twelve miles from Chambly, where they landed on the 16th, and pushed to La Prairie, to cut off Arnold, who was retreating from Montreal. It was at Varenne, on the south hank of the St. Lawrence, fourteen miles from Montreal, that Wilkinson met this force, detained at that point by a failure of the wind, at two o'clock P. M., and hastened back with the intelligence to Arnold, without which he had been cut off, as he did not intend leaving Montreal until the morning of the 16th. Arnold immediately ordered Wilkinson to re-cross the river, and traverse the country by the direct route to Chambly, twelve miles, and report the situation in which he had dis- covered the enemy to Gen. Sullivan, and request a detachment to cover Gen. Arnold's retreat by La Prairie. "I did not," says Wilkinson, ''make the opposite shore and Longueuil until it was dark. I found a public horse at the parish priest's, mounted him, and arrived at Chambly about nine o'clock at night (15th). Here the scene presented me can never be effaced. The front of our retreating army, over- whelmed with fatigue, lay scattered in disorder over the plain, and buried in sleep, without a single sentinel to watch for its safety. I rode through the encampment, entered the fort by the drawbridge, dismounted, and presented myself to Gen. Sullivan, without being halted or even hailed. The general and his companions. Colonels St. Clair, Maxwell, and Hazen, all appeared astonished at my information of the near approach of the enemy to Montreal. Maxwell, in Scottish dialect, ex- claimed, 'Be the Lard, it cannot be possible! to which I em- *Thl3 letter Is published In Force's Archives, fourth series, vol. Vi, 826. with no Indication of the writer. In a casual examination of the Teates papers, in the pos.sesslon of Yeates Cunningham, of Lancaster. Pa., the editors discovered the originals of this and other letters from the army In Canada, published by Force, in the handwriting of Lieut. Col. Thomas Hartley, and addressed to Jasper Yeates, Esq., afterwards justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Our history is therefore indebted to the pen of Hartley, BubiCijuently one of the foremost lawyers and ablest statesnitu of Pennsylvania, for nearly all that is known of the oampulgn .if th^• Penn ^^ylvania l)attalions in Canada. COL.. ARTHUR SI. CLAIR. 87 phatically retorted, 'Be the Lard, sir, you know not what you say!' Sullivan and St. Clair, who were both acquainted with me, interposed, and corrected Maxwell's Indecorum. "It was acknowledged on all hands, that a detachment was necessary to co-operate with Arnold; but how to effect it, under the actual circumstances of the moment, was a matter of much difficulty. The night was profoundly dark; the rain poured (town in torrents; the troops at hand were fatigued, and in great disorder, and there was no officer to receive and execute orders. After some deliberation it was determined that I should proceed down the Sorel with instructions to Brig. Gen., the Baron de Woedtke, who commanded the rear, to make a de- tachment of five hundred men, to cover Gen. Arnold's retreat. I was directed to keep the main road on the bank of the Sorel, which Col. Hazen informed me was quite plain and unob- structed; but he deceived me, and, owing to the darkness of tne night, I presently missed my way, and narrowly escaped plunging into Liittle River, where it was twenty feet deep. After my escape, I dismounted, and, securing my horse, groped my way in the dark, until I discovered a bridge of batteaux formed for the passage of the infantry, on which I crossed. "I found every house and hut on my route crowded with stragglers, men without officers, and officers without men. Wet to the skin, covered with mud, exhausted by hunger and fatigue, I threw myself down on the floor of a filthy cabin and slept until dawn; when I arose and prosecuted my search in quest of the Prussian baron. The first officer of my acquaint- ance whom I met, was Lieut. Col. William Allen, of the Second Penn'a, who, to my inquiry for De Woedtke, replied that 'he had no doubt the beast was drunk, and in front of the army.' I then informed him of my orders for a detachment. He re- plied 'this army, Wilkinson, is conquered by its fears, and I doubt whether you can draw any assistance from it; but Col. Wayne is in the '-ear, and if any one can do it, he is the man.' On which I quickened my pace, and half an hour after met that gallant soidier, as much at his ease as if he was marching to a parade of exercise. He confirmed Allen's report respecting De Woedtke, and, without hesitation, determined to carry the order into execution, if possible. He halted at the bridge, and posted a guard, with orders to stop every man without regard to corps, who appeared to be active, alert, and equipped. In a short time, a detachment was completely formed, and in motion for Longueull. The very men who only the day before were retreating in confusion, before a division of the enemy, now marched with alacrity against his main body. 88 SECOND PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. "We had gone two miles when we met an express from Ar- nold, with verbal information of his escape from Montreal, and that he would be able to make good his retreat by La Prairie. This information brought Col. Wayne to the right about. We crossed Little River at a ford, and found the rear of the army not yet up to Chambly. Our detachment was discovered ad- vancing on the bank of the Sorel, two miles below the fort; we were taken for the enemy, and great alarm and confusion en- sued, the drums beat to arms, and Gen. Sullivan and his of- ficers were observed making great exertions to prepare for bat- tle. Gen. Wayne halted his column, pulled out his glass, and seemed to enjoy the panix; his appearance produced. I sug- gested that he would interrupt the labors of the troops on the portage of Chambly, and delay the movement of the army; on which he ordered me forward to correct the delusion. "I reported to Gen. Sullivan, who gave orders for Wayne to march by his right, and co-operate with Gen. Arnold, if nec- essary, but we soon discovered Arnold had passed, and the bridge of Little River on fire; we, therefore, turned to the left, and followed him to St. John's, where we arrived in the even- ing (16th), and found Gen. Sullivan with the front of the army."— Wilkinson's Memoirs, vol. i, page 51, et sequitur. The rear of the army, with baggage stores, reached St. John's on the 18th, were embarked and moved up the Sorel the same afternoon. After the last boat but Arnold's had put off, at Arnold's suggestion, he and Wilkinson went down the direct road to Chambly for two miles, where they met the advance of the British division, under Lieut. Gen. Burgoyne. They reconnoitered it a few minutes, then galloped back to St. John's and stripping their horses, shot them. Gen. Arnold then or- dered all on board, pushed off the boat with his own hands, and thus indulged the vanity of being the last man who em- barked from the shores of the enemy. They followed the army twelve miles, to the Isle Aux Noix, where they arrived after dark.— Ibid., page 55. The head of Burgoyne's column entered St. John's on the evening of the 18th, and Philips' advance guard on the morn- ing of the 19th. On the 19th, general orders at Isle Aux Noix directed the commands of de Haas, Wayne, St. Clair, and Irvine to encamp on the east side of the island. On the 21st, Col. Irvine's battalion met with another heavy loss, as is detailed by a letter from one of the regiment: "Capts. McCIean, Adams, and Rippey, Lieuts. McFerran, McAllister, and Hoge, and Ensigns Lusk and Culbertson, with I COL. ARTHUR ST. CLAIR. 89 four privates, went over from the Isle Aux Noix to the western shore of the lake, about a mile from camp, but within sight, to fish and divert themselves. Capt. McClean prudently pro- posed to take arms with them, but was over-ruled. Some In- dians observed their motions, and while they were at a house drinking some spruce beer, the savages surrounded them, killed Capt. Adams, j:>usigu Culbertson, and two privates, whom they scalped in a most inhuman and barbarous manner; and carried off prisoners, Capt. McClean, Lieuts. Ferran, McAllister, and Hoge, and the two other privates. But a party coming to their relief from camp, Capt. Rippey and Ensign Lusk made their es- cape." The bodies of those killed were brought to the Isle Aux Noix and decently buried by Col. Wayne, who, with a party followed the Indians and recovered the batteaux with the bodies. Isle Aux Noix proved very unhealthy; Col. Wayne had sixty men out of one hundred and thirty-eight taken down with sickness, after their arrival there; and on the 24th of June, Col. de Haas and all his field officers, with a number of his men were sick.* On the 25th, Gen. Sullivan commenced mov- ing the army to Isle la Motte. Lieut. Col. Hartley, with two hundred and fifty men of Irvine's battalion, went by land, scouring the country, traversing disagreeable swamps, destroy- ing on the way the house, mills, &c., of the traitor McDonald. On June, 27th, at Isle la Motte all the army took vessels and came to Crown Point, which they reached on the 1st of July. Gen. Gates arrived there on the evening of the 5th, superseding Gen. Sullivan, and on the 7th, at a council of war, it was deter- mined to remove the army to Ticonderoga. The battalions of Cols, de Haas, St. Clair, and Wayne arrived there on the 10th, the Sixth, under Lieut. Col. Hartley, remaining posted at Crown Point, where it remained the balance of the summer and fall, the sentinel regiment of Gen. Gates' army. — See Force's Archives, fifth series, vol. i and 11, for journal and correspondence of Lieut. Col. Hartley. On the 20th, Gen. Gates brigaded his army, and the four Pennsylvania battalions were constituted the Fourth Brigade, Col. Arthur St. Clair commanding; Edward Scull brigade major for the Third and Fourth battalions. /"Ticonderoga, June 13.— One woman from each company of each of the Pennsylvania battalions, now at this post, to be drafted as soon as possible and sent to the general hospital at Fort George, to nurse the sick. They will have the customary allowance of provisions from Dr. Stringer, director of the hospital there." 90 SECOND }'KNNSY1A'AN'IA BAI'TAMON. August 14, Lieut. Col. Hartley's scouts found the British still at St. John's. Aug. 24, de Haas' battalion numbered rank and file four hun- dred and fifty-five men (one hundred and fifty-seven of whom were siclv), twenty-six sergeants; staff, four; commissioned of- ficers, thirty-one; five drums and fifes; five hundred and twenty one in toto. St. Clair's four hundred and twenty-nine rank and file, one hundred and sixty-one sick; total ofiicers and men. four hundred and eighty-five. Wayne's, five hundred and twenty-two rank and file, one hundred and fifty-five of whom were sick: total officers and men, five hundred and seventy- three. On the 6th of September, Lieut. Col. Hartley, desired Gen. Gates to send to Crown Point, either Gen. Wayne's battalion or the Second, and he would defend it with them. Gen. Gates gave him positive orders to retreat if the British reached that point. The British did not come, however, and on the 22d Irvine's regiment was still at Crown Point. One lieutenant colonel, one major, four captains, five first lieutenants, three second lieutenants, five ensigns, four staff, seventeen sergeants, fifteen drums, and four hundred and eighty-six rank and file. On the 11th of October, Hartley still maintained his post; having found in the woods some cannon lost in the French war, with great labor, he had roads cut, and transported them to Crown Point, and had a battery of six guns ready for visitors, not any too soon, for on the same day the British at- tacked Arnold's fleet on Lake Champlain, compelling him to retire towards Crown Point to refit, the next day, almost totally destroying it before it got there. On the 14th, Col. Hartley set fire to all the houses at and near Crown Point, *and retired to Ticonderoga. The season was too far advanced for the British to make any further progress; after threatening Ticonderoga, they retired Into winter quarters. On the 18th of November, Gen. Gates putting Col. Wayne in command of Ticonderoga, proceeded to join Gen. Washington with the larger part of his army, the three Pennsylvania battalions whose time would expire on the 5th of January, agreeing to remain until they were relieved by other troops. On the 29th of November, the Second, commanded by Col. Wood, numbered four huh- dred and twenty-six officers and men; Wayne'a five hundred and alxty-five; Irvine's five hundred and three. (^ (T^^ (hi^ COL. ARTHUR ST. CLAIR. 9J On the 4th of December, Col. Wayne writes to the Committee of Safety: "The wretched condition the battalions are now iu for want of almost every necessary, except flour and bad beef, is shock- ing to humanity, and beggars all description. We have neither beds lior bedding for our sick to lay on or under, other than their own clothing; no medicine or regimen suitable for them; the dead and dying lying mingled together in our hospital, or rather house of carnage, is no uncommon sight. They are objects truly worthy of your notice, as well as of your most obedient, humble servant, ANT'Y WAYNE." On the 24th of January, 1777, the Second battalion 1777. left Ticonderoga, with Gen Wayne, for their homes. Muhlenberg's Journal, under date of February 15, 1777, has the following: 'In the evening, many American soldiers from Ticonderoga arrived here in Providence (Montgomery county). The time of service of these people has expired. " Many of the privates of the Second re-enlisted in the Third I'enn'a regiment.

COL. JOHN SHEE. JANUARY, 5, 1776— JANUARY, 3, 1777. (a) (Ul) J'HIRD PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. THIRD PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION, (a.) The Third Pennsylvania Battalion, known as "Shee's," was enlisted under authority of the resolution of Congress, dated December 9, 1775, before referred to. The officers were prin- cipally Philadelphians, but the companies were mainly 1775. filled up by detaching recruiting parties to different parts of this State, New. Jersey, Delaware and Mary- land. On the 11th of June, Congress ordered this battalion, with the Fifth, Col. Magaw, to New York. On the 15th they 1776. marched, reaching New York from the 20th to the 25th, and, on the 29th, they were put under the command of Brig. Gen. Mifflin; Shee's battalion, on the 28th, having three field officers, eight captains, ^ yp seven first lieutenants, seven second / ju—^/^ lieutenants, eight ensigns, adjutant, Q.^/ ^^*^J^ij^j2^ quartermaster, and surgeon, thirty- two sergeants, twelve drums and fifes, and five hundred and seventeen rank and file; total num- erical force, five hundred and ninety-seven men. Both battalions were marched towards Kingsbridge, en- camped upon the ground on which Fort Washington was erected, -and immediately employed in the construction of that fortress, under the direction of Col. Rufus Putnam. They remained here all summer, sickness prevailing towards fall to so great an extent that little more than half of the men were fit for duty. They remained undisturbed until the battle of Long Island, on the 27th of August, when they were marched down to New York, reaching the city in the afternoon, after the battle was over. On the 28th, early, they were transported to Long Island, marched down to the entrenchments at Brook- lyn, and posted on the left, extending to the Wallabout. Here annoyed by continual rain, without tents, they lay upon their arms, keeping up incessant skirmishing with the British. On the morning of the 29th, Col. Shee, who was in command, then, of the battalion, sent Capt. Graydon to hunt up Adj. Gen. Reed, and to request him to ride down to the lines that h» (Shee) might urge him to propose a retreat without loss of time. COL. JOHN shjBE. lec Reed came, aud the coufereuce was held, but the day passftd off in unabating skirmishing and rain. After dark, orders were received to hold the battalions in readiness for an attack upon the enemy, but this was only an artifice, these battalions, with the Maryland battalion, being detached to cover the re- treat of the main army from the Island. Near day-break of the 3Uth, they received orders to retire, and had marched nearly half way to the river, when they were informed that they had come off too soon, and ordered to re- turn to their post. This order was strictly complied with, aud they remained more than an hour longer in the lines before the second order to abandon them came. They retired under cover of a thick fog, and between six and seven A. M., perhaps a little later, landed at New York. In less than an hour after- wards, the fog having dispersed, the enemy could be seen on the shore they had left.— Graydon's Memoirs (Littell Ed.), page 166. On the 31st of August, they marched beyond Kingsbridge, towards the Sound, and, crossing the Bronx, encamped about eighteen or twenty miles from the city. After this post was sufficiently strergthened, the two battalions re-occupied their old ground at Fort Washington. A return, dated October 7, 1779, shows the battalion to be then commanded by Lieut. Col. Cadwalader, Col. Shee absent; all the captains and first lieutenants present, except one of each; all the second lieutenants present, seven ensigns, ad- jutant, quarter-master, surgeon and mate, nineteen sergeants, nine drums and fifes, rank and file, two hundred and seventy- six fit for duty, eighty-four sick present, one hundred and seven sick absent, six in command, one on furlough, twelve sergeants sick, fife major and drummer sick, one sergeant discharged; total strength of battalion, five hundred and fifty-one. The main army remained on the heights of Harlem a period of five weeks, Shee's and Magaw's battalions constituting a part of it, and did duty accordingly. The march of the main army, towards White Plains, commenced on the 20th of October. Before this march. Col. Shee ol)tained leave of absence to visit his family, and converted that leave into an entire abdication of his command (Graydon. pa^e 181). and the battalion was now commanded by Lieut Colonel Lambert Cadwal- ader. Col. Shee's resignation, how- ever, is dated on the 25th of September, and accepted on the 124 THIRD PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. 27th, his reasons are the solicitations of his family, conclud- ing his letter: "Let me request you will put the most favorable construction on this conduct, think me as my uniform con- duct has shown, one of the warmest friends of my country, nor blame too rigidly that want of fortitude, which the fondest attachment to my family has obliged me, on this occasion, to discover."* On the 16th of November, the fort was invested by Gen. Howe's army and captured. On tnat day Magaw's and Cad- walader's battalions, with some broken companies of Atlee's an^ other battalions, principally from Pennsylvania, were posted in the lower lines of Harlem Heights, the right of the American forces two and a half miles south of the fort, or to- wards the city; Col. Baxter having the front of Harlem River, and Rawlings the left or north of the fort. The superiority of force of the British, drove them all finally into the fort, which was surrendered on the same day, and the Third and Fifth bat- talions became prisoners, almost in toto. There were only two or three officers wounded, Capt. Miller, of the Fifth, who died; Capt. Lennox, of the Third, very slightly; and Ensign Mclntire, badly. The men were retained prisoners until in January, 1777, their time having then expired. Most of the officers did not secure their release for years afterwards. See Graydon's Memoirs for an account of the captivity of the officers, 230 and postea; Lieut. Forrest's escape, 316, &c. Also, Historical Magazine, New York, 1857, page 73, Marriner's letter. The remains of the battalion was the nucleus upon which the Fourth regiment of the Penn- sylvania Continental line was formed. *Col. Shee was a noted merchant of Philadelphia, after the war.

(132) FIFTH PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. COL ROBERT MAGAW. JANUARY :?. 1776— JANUARY 3, 1777. (a) (l«3) ^IFTH PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. FIFTH PENNSYLVA.NIA BATTALION, (a.) As this battalion was associated in service and misfortune with the Third battalion, its general history is embraced in what is said of the Third. It will only be necessary to add that Sir William Howe's success in the capture of Fort Wash- ington hinged largely on the treason of William Dement or Demont, Col. Magaw's adjutant. Graydon, in his Memoirs, says "Howe must have had a perfect knowl- edge of the ground we occupied. This he might have acquired from hundreds in New York, but he might have been more thor- oughly informed of everything desirable to be known from an oiScer of Magaw's battalion, who was intelligent in points of duty, and deserted to the enemy about a week before the as- sault." Graydon's suspicion has been confirmed, after the lapse of a century, by the publication of Demont's letter to Rev. Dr. Peters, in an exhaustive article on "Mount Washington and its capture," by E. F. De Lancey, in the Magazine of American History, for February, 1877. It is as follows: "Rev. Sir: Permit me to Trouble you with a Short recital of my Services in America which I Presume may be deem'd among the most Singular of any that will go to Upper Canada. On the 2d of Novr., 1776, I Sacrificed all I was Worth in the World, to the Service of my King & Country, and joined the then Lord Percy, brought in with me the Plans of Fort Wash- ington, by which Plans that Fortress was taken by his Majes- ty's Troops the 16th instant, Together with 2700 Prisoners and Stores & ammunition to the amount of 1800 Pound. At the same time, I may with Justice affirm from my Knowledge of the Works, I saved the Lives of many of His Majesty's Subjects,— these Sir are facts well-known to every General Officer which was there — and I may with Truth Declare from that time I Studied the Interests of my Country and neglected my own — or in the Language of Cardinal Woolsey, 'had I have Served my God as I have done my King he would not thus have Forsaken me.' COLONEL ROBERT MAG AW. 165 "The foUowiug is a JusL Actouut due me from the Govern- ment, which 1 have never been able to bring forward for want of Sir William Erskine who once when in Town assured me he'd look into it but have never done it otherways 1 should not have been in Debt. "This Sir though it may not be in your Power to Get me may Justify my being so much in Debt, & in Expectation of this Acc't being Paid, together with another Dividend, from the Express words of the Act where it says all under Ten Thousand pound should be paid without Deduction, I having received only i:464 which I Justified before the Commissioners: "Due for Baw, Batt. and Forage, £110 7 "For Engaging Guides Getting Intelligence &c., 45 9 7 "For doing duty as commissary of Prisoners at Phila- delphia Paying clerk, stationery, &c., 16 13 8 £182 10 3 The last Two Articles was Cash Paid out of my Pocket which was Promised to be Refunded by Sirs Wm. Howe and Erskine. "I most Humbly Beg Pardon for the Length of this- Letter & Shall Conclude without making Some Masonac Remarks, as at first Intended, and remain. "Your most obedient and Most Hum'l Serv't, "Rev'd Sir with Dutiful Respect, "WILLIAM DEMONT. "London, Jan'y 16, 1792. "P. S. the Inclosed is a true account of my debts taken from the Different Bills received." Mr. De Lancey adds "nothing has been learned of him, nor has it been possible as yet to trace him after the date of this letter." With the single exception of the return signed William De- ment, and made out in style and handwriting indicating clerkly ability, there are only two or three unimportant papers relating to this battalion preserved in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The following roster and rolls were taken from Col. Magaw's papers, in the possession of Rev'd. J. A. Murray, D. D., of Carlisle. A return dated May 28, 1776, signed by Enoch Wright, ser- geant major, shows the strength of the battalion then was seven field and staff and five hundrea and ninety-one company 166 FIFTH PENNSYLVANIA BATTALION. officers and privates. A return dated October 7, 1776, signed "William Dement, adjutant," gives the total strength of Beatty's company, officers and men, fifty-eight, of whom fif- teen were sick absent; Miller's, sixty-four, of whom eight were sick absent; Benezet's, sixty-three, of whom twenty were sick absent; Stuart's, sixty-seven, of whom twelve were sick absent; Spohn's seventy, of whom fifteen were sick absent; Vansandt's, sixty-five, of whom twenty-eight were sick absent; Decker's, seventy-four, of whom nine were sick absent; Richardson's, fifty-three, of whom thirteen were sick absent.

A weekly return, found since the foregoing was written among the papers of the Pennsylvania Historical Society, dated the day before the surrender, gives the exact state of Magaw's battalion. It is headed weekly return of the Fifth Pennsylva- nia battalion in the service of the United States, commanded by Major John Beatty, November 15, 1776, and signed by.

Miles and Atlee's journals, Pennsylvania Archives, vol. i, 2d series, 512 et sequitur; Col. Broadhead's letter, vol. v, 1st series, page 21. The following characteristic letter of Cap. Casper Weitzel to his brother John, furnishes some interesting points concerning this engagement: "Camp Near King's Bridge, Sixteen Miles Above New York, September 6, 1776. "Dear Brother: I would have written to you long before this time had anything worth communicating happened me or otherwise since my going into the army. Even now I scarcely know what to say to you, unless it would be to give you an ac- count of the manner of living in the American Army; but that too seems so familiar to me now, that I think myself to have lived in the same way all my life, and imagine it repetition to relate anything concerning it. Amidst the marches and move- ments of the Army, and the attention I am obliged to pay to my company, I almost forget relatives, friends, former business; yet while I am writing I find myself a little uneasy when I think myself so far removed from home; the Lord only knows for what time. New York is like a wire mouse trap, easy to get in, bui hard to get out. You no doubt before now have heard of the drubbing we Pennsylvanians, with the Delaware and Maryland Battolions, got on Long Island, on the 27th of Au- gust last; we were prettily taken in. The General Sullivan who commanded on Long Island, is much blamed. I saw no- thing of him in the engagement or some days before. The lit- tle army we had on the Island, of about five thousand men, was surrounded by fifteen or twenty thousand of the English and Hessians when the engagement began; they gave us a good deal of trouble but we fought our way bravely through them. The number of English and Hessians killed is surprising great, and of ours very trifling; but they have taken about seven hundred of our people prisoners, and amongst them more officers then perhaps ever was known in the like number of men. My Lieut. Gray, Sergeant Gordon, Sergeant Price and sixteen privates are missing. I know of only one killed in my company. The poor fellow was wounded in the thigh, and unable to walk; his name is Speiss; the d d savage Hessians and English Light Infantry, run their bayonets thro' him, and two of Captain Albright's men, who were also badly wounded, and murdered by them. I have this from one of my men who COL. SAMUEL MILES. 263 was a prisoner and escaped to me, and imagine the rest are prisoners. James Watt is among them. I came off with whole bones,, contrary to my expectation; I was in so much danger that by escaping that, I think it was impossible for them to kill me. Many a brush we shall yet before the cam- paign is over; we expect every day to have another clip. I wish you would endeavor to send such of my clothes as are worth wearing, my blanket and pillow, in my trunk to Lan- caster, and let me know of it when you have sent it, that I may endeavor to have it brought from there to where I may be stationed. There are no clothes to be got here of any kind. I have lost all my shirts and stockings, except two shirts, and two pair of old stockings, what I shall do for more God knows.. I have no hopes to get back to Pennsylvania until some time in January or February, unless hard weather and bad quarters kill me before that time. I ought to have written to Mr. Chambers particularly, but have not had time. As he has my papers, I hope he will do every thing he can towards having my business settled. I hear you are one of the great men of the State of Pennsylvania. Can't you give me a little lift some how or other if there is anything going. I need not give you an account of the officers missing in our regiment; no doubt you know of it before this time. I will mention some, Col. Miles, Col. Piper, two captains and fourteen Lieutenants, three of them killed. Your faithful and affectionate Brother, and humble servant, CASPER WEITZEL." In the action of the 27th of August, the rifle regiment and musketry battalion were so broken up that Gen. Washington ordered the three battalions to be considered as a regiment, under the command of Lieut. Col. Brodhead, until further orders. On Thursday, September 19, "the three battalions mutinied, and appeared on the parade under arms. After this they de- serted in parties with their arms, about two hundred men in the whole, fifty of whom are here now. The rest have taken other roads. 1 heir complaints are want of pay, want of clothes, tne want of blankets, the not receiving the particular species of rations. As to their pay, they had the whole to the 1st of Au- gust, and some have deserted immediately after having their full pay to the 1st of September. A very great cause of deser- tion l3 owing to the loss of their field officers. A party at- 254 PENNSYLVANIA RIFLE REGIMENT. tempted to desert (about thirty) but were prevented by force. A corporal at their head, thrust with his bayonet at Lieut. Lang, which he parried, the corporal is in custody; the same corporal cocked his piece at Ensign Davis, and attempted to fire. One Kelly, of Capt. Brown's company, and Sergeant Scamell, of Howell's company, are principal ringleaders." (In- formation received from Capt. Farmer, Capt. Erwin, Lieut. Lang, Lieut. Gourley.) The following petition "of privates in Col. Miles' and Atlee's battalion returned from camp without leave," without date, is probably referable to this period: "To the Honourable the Committee of Safety of the Province of Pennsylvania: "We your Petitioners, Soldiers enlisted for the Province of Pennsylvania, now returned from New York Government, being Willing & Desirous of Letting your Honours know the reason of our returning. Our Commanders told us, the subscribers, that if we went out of the Province that we should be used well, and return in six weeks from the time we left the Province. We were out of the Province upwards of Two Months and not used according to promise. We never had half of our Provi- sions Given us that was allowed to us by the Honourable the Assembly of the Province of Pennsylvania, nor never received any pay for the time we were out of the Province. We lost our Chief Commanders on Long Island, and not knowing who to apply to for Redress when out of the Province we returned to seek Redress, and hope your Honours will take it into your Consideration. Your Petitioners did not leave New York for Cowardice but for bad usage, and we are willing to fight to Defend the Province where we were Inlisted. "Your Petitioners Humbly beg that you would take it into your Consideration. "And your petitioners will ever pray. JOHN BROWN ANDREW LINCH JAMES KELLY HUGH HENRY ROBERT PELON.

The three battalions were then in Gen. Mifflin's brigade, and stationed at Mount Washington. On the 5th of October (see Col. Rec, vol. x, page 743), the Council of Safety determined that the three battalions should be arranged as follows: two were to be on the Continental establishment, and to serve during the war, the other to be retained in the service of the State until the 1st of January, 1778, unless sooner discharged, and to consist of ten companies of one hundred men each, officers included. This they intended ordering home as soon as the condition of the Continental army would admit of it, as they were by arrangement to keep twelve complete battalions in the Continental service. This regiment was thereafter known as "The Pennsylvania State Regiment of Foot." For the arrangement of captains and subaltern officers for the battalion to be kept in pay of the State see Col. Rec, vol. X, page 765. On the 25th of October, they ordered the men In Capts. 3S6 PENNSYLVANIA RIFLE REGIMENT. Farmer's, John Murray's, Anderson's, Marshall's, Albright's, Dehuff's and Christ's companies to continue under the same captains; Spade's company to be commanded by Capt. John McGowan, Francis Murray's by Capt. Morton Garret, Richard Brown's by Capt. James F. Moore, «6;c. (see Col. Rec, vol. x, page, 766), and consolidated the companies of Long, Peebles, Weitzel, Erwin, Grubb, Lloyd, Herbert, Nice, Howell and McClellan with the former. The remains of these battalions thus consolidated followed the fortunes of the Continental army. On the 16th of Novem- ber part of the musketry battalion was in Fort Washington, and was captured, with the following officers, Capt. Dehuff, Lieuts. Caldwell, Ward and Weidman, and Ensign Whitehead. On the 22d it was in Hand's brigade at head-quarters now New Brunswick. It was engaged in the capture of the Hessians at Trenton, 26th December, 1776; in the battle of Princeton Jan- uary 3, 1777; lay part of the winter at Philadelphia, and moved down to Billingsport in March, 1777.

On the 3d of June the field staff, and com- pany officers (see Pa. Arch., N. S., vol. i, page 745) remon- strated against the appointment of Col. Bull, and threatened to quit the regiment; as Col. Bull was not an officer in either of the battalions, they claimed his appointment ruined their rank. On the Gth, the Supreme Executive Council presented a me- morial to the Assembly stating that "as Congress has allotted twelve regiments to be raised in Pennsylvania, and has called for a return of the regiments, it was their opinion that it would be prudent to put into the Continental service and pay the oattalion now called the State battalion, which has been raised chiefly out of the remains of the battalion lately under .33- Vol. U—^th Ser. / 514 THE STATE REGIMENT OF FOOT. the command of Col.

In compliance with this memorial, the Assem- bly, on the 10th of June, 1777, transferred this regiment, with artillery regiment and company mentioned, lo the Continental Congress. On the 17th the Council ap- pointed Col. Bull, adjutant gen- eral of militia of the State, and appointed Col. Walter Stewart colonel in the room of Col. Bull, promoted. Capt. Pugh's company enlisted for the war, was added to the regiment, and on the 19th the state of the regi- ment was: number of men enlisted for the war 185, num- ber of men enlisted to the 1st of January, 1778, 354; sergeants enlisted for the war, 9; sergeants to the 1st of January, 1778, 31; 3 drummers for the war, 8 as above; 2 fifers for the war as above. On the 20th of June, 1777, Ludwick Sprogell, Com. Gen. of Musters, made a return of the Penn'a State regiment, commanded by Walter Stewart, Esq., colonel, as consisting of eleven companies: No. 1, Capt.

The wagoners that return to join their regi- ment cavil about their regimental pay, notwithstanding they have received £6 per month of the Continent." Col. Walter Stewart took command of the regiment July 6. 1777, and commanded at Brandywine and Germantown, where its losses were sixteen killed and missing, and twenty-two wounded.

(559) (560) JULY ], 1776, TO NOVEMBER 3, 1783. 561 EXPLANATORY NOTE, (a) Where any rolls could be found, they are printed in full with their respective regiments. The dates attached to the names in the general lists of the regiments are derived prin- cipally from the bool;.s of James Stevenson, Abram du Bois and William Goforth, auoitors, appointed by ihe Supreme Executive Council to settle the depreciation of officers and privates of the Pennsylvania Line from January 1, 1777, to August 1, 178'J, under the act of December 18, 1780 (Mcrvean's Laws, page 410,) discovered within the past few years in the Auditor General's office. Th?y were in a bundle which apparently had not been opened since it was packed for removal from Philadelphia to Lancaster, in 1799. Many an applicant for pension lost his claim for waiit of these books, as is apparent from the list of the rejected claims published by the Secretary of War. The original rolls and papers re- lating to the service of the Pennsylvania Line, as well as those of other States, having been burned by the fire which consumed the records of the war office in 1800, in a temporary building in which they were placed after their removal from Philadelphia, necessarily the requirements of the acts of March 18, 1818, and June 7, 1832. granting pensions were very stringent, in order to prevent fraud upon the United States, requiring such evi- dence as would satisfy the Secretary of War as to the genuine character of the claims. To do this at the latter dates, with the failing memory of the aged applicants, was an impossibility. The dates "January 1, 1777-1781," and any other date to which is attached 1781, indicate that these names are found upon the books of settlement referred to, and therefore those soldiers were still in service up to January 1, 1781, when the revolt took place; though the entry runs generally "paid to August 1, 1780." Those marked "E" were found in a book marked "List of Soldiers whose depreciation of pay escheated to the State." It appears by the minutes of the Supreme Executive Council April 3, 1778 (Col. Records vol. xi, page 456), "it was ordered that the Thirteenth, Twelfth, and Eleventh regiments be joined with some other regiments; that the Thirteenth be incorpo- rated with the Second, and Col. Walter Stewart take the com- mand in place of Col. Bicker; that the Twelfth be incorporated with the Third; that the Eleventh be incorporated with the Tenth, being the next youngest, and that Col. Humpton take 36— Vol. TI— 5th Sor. 562 THE PENNSYLVANIA LINE FROM command in the room of Col. Nagel." This arrangement went into effect July 1, 1778, immediately after the battle of Mon- mouth. Shortly after a new Eleventh was formed, under Col. Hartley, composed of the remains of his regiment. Col. Pat- ton's, and of independent companies of the State serving in the Lines of other States. Another arrangement followed the resolutions of Congress of 3d and 21st of October, 1780, reducing the quota of Pennsylvania to six regiments of infantry, one of artillery, one of cavalry, and one of artificers; which went into effect January 17, 1781, after the Revolt of the Pennsylvania Line. This included the reduction of the German regiment. A further consolidation went into effect January 1, 1783, re- ducing the infantry to three regiments, and an arrangement of officers accordingly. Very few records remain of these or- ganizations, none to show who re-enlisted generally. This will account for the names of many soldiers being repeated in the different regiments. To avoid complication and error as far as possible the roster of officers are only carried in full from Janu- ary 1, 1777, to January, 1781, and after that the respective ar- rangements are inserted. The remarks attached are derived from pension applications found in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and in the prothonotary's office of some counties, and the records of the Pension Office and War Department at Washington. It is also to be noted that subsequent arrangements vary dates and orders of promotion recommended by commanding officers and by the Supreme Executive Council (e. g. some of those found on pages 356 and 357, vol. xii, Colonial Records). This probably arose from the fact that the promotions were made in the whole Line by seniority, which was not taken in account when promotions were made, or recommended by com- manding officers, &c., but discovered upon the different meet- ings of ofl[icers of the whole Line to arrange. Accordingly the duplicate dates are given as indicated by the official papers copied. The dates of officers' commissions sometimes differ from the times they were assigned to regiments, the latter in some instances cannot be indicated. For further explanation, reference is made to several "estab- lishments" made by Congress, to be found in its journals. That of September 16, 1776, assigned twelve regiments as the quota of Pennsylvania. Thompson's Rifle Battalion, then Hand's was claimed by the State, and counted as the First of the Line, De Haas' First battalion as the Second, St. Clair's Second Bat- JULY 1, 1776, TO NOVEMBER 3, 1783. 563 talion as the Third regiment, &c. Eight companies composed a regiment, each company, to have one captain, first and second lieutenants, and ensign, four sergeants, four corporals, one drummer, one fifer, and seventy-six privates. Pennsylvania took early measures to re-enlist her officers and men under this establishment. (See the committee's letter, dated October 9, 1776, Penn'a Arch., second series, vol. i, page 630.) A second establishment was made by Congress, May 27, 1778, by which the regiments were required to consist of nine com- panies, one of which was to be light infantry; each of the field officers to command a company; the lieutenant of the colonel's company to have the rank of Captain Lieutenant; one surgeon and one surgeon's-mate were added to the field and staff; one sergeant major, one quarter-master sergeant, one drum major, and one fife major made the non-commissioned staff; and six captains, one captain lieutenant, eight lieutenants, nine en- signs, twenty-seven sergeants, twenty-seven corporals, eighteen drummers and fifers, and four hundred and seventeen privates formed the balance of the regiment. This roll of the Pennsylvania Line of course falls far short of doing justice to the patriotism of Pennsylvania. It is in fact a mere roll of the Lines as discharged in January, 1781. The hundreds who fell in all the battles of the Revolution, from Quebec to Charleston are not here: — the wounded, who dragged their torn limbs home to die in their native valleys, are not here. The heaths of New Jersey, from Paramus to Freehold, by a line encircling Morristown and Bound Brook, were in the summer of 1777, dotted with the graves of the Eighth and Twelfth Pennsylvania. These regiments, from the frontier counties of the State, Westmoreland and Northumberland, were the first of the Line in the field, though they had to come from the banks of the Monongahela and the head-waters of the • Susquehanna. At Brandywine the Pennsylvania troops lost heavily, the Eighth and Twelfth, and Col. Hartley's additional regiment, in particular, in officers and men; and Col. Patton's additional regiment, after the battle of Germantown, could not maintain its regimental organization. Again, we have no regimental returns of the regiments after they were reduced to six, January 1, 1781, and re-enlisted. These with the rest of the records of the Pennsylvania Lin?>, were placed beyond the reach of historical research by the fire before alluded to, and the torch of the British in 1814. On the 5th of April, 1781, ordere were issued for a detachment of the six regiments to hold themselves in readiness to march 564 THE PENNSYLVANIA LINE FROM to York, Penn'a, immediately. The proportions of oflBcers aiad men each regiment was to furnish, will be found in Gen. St. Clair's order. (Penn'a Archives, O. S., vol. ix, page 60.) It was to amount to nine hundred and sixty men, besides officers. Lieut. Col. Robinson of the First, Col. Walter Stewart of the Second, Lieut. Col. Harmar of the Third, Col. Richard Butler of the Fifth, and Col. Humpton of the Sixth, and other officers whose names may be gathered from Feltman's journal, printed postea, were of Wayne's subordinates in the southern campaign. Sixty aragoons, under Major Fauntleroy Moore, accompanied Col. Moylan, following July 10. The detachment of artillery had one major, three captains, three captain lieu- tenants, and three lieutenants with it. Col. Thomas Craig fol- lowed, with a detachment composed mostly of eighteen months' men.* When Wayne was about leaving York May 26, 1781, there was some insubordination, which he promptly quelled by shooting down the offenders, as alluded to in his letter to Prest. Reea (Penn'a Archives, 0. S., vol. ix, page 173.) Leonard Dubbs, who died at Harrisburg in 1840, and had been a drummer through- out the war, often related that one Jack Maloney, an English- man, one of the sergeants in command of the men at the Re- volt of the Line, and whom he believed to be a true man, as he had advised the hanging of the British spies, started the diffi- culty, and called upon all true soldiers to help him, a man named Smith and two other men rushed from the ranks. (See Lieut. Denny's account of the execution, Penn'a Hist. Soc. Publications, vol. vii, page 238.) Wayne's command joined Lafayette at Raccoon ford, on the Rapidan, on the 10th of June, fought at Green Springs on the 6th of July, opened the second parallel at Yorktown, October 12, which Gen. Steuben, in his division orders of October 21. says '"he considers the most important part of the siege." After the surrender Oi. Cornwallis, three regiments and a detachment of artillery were ordered to the southward, under Gen. St. Clair, and with Wayne, closed the battles of the Revolution aL Sharon, Georgia, and only when their services were no longer needed, in the summer of 1783, returned from James Island. South Carolina, to Philadelphia. Discharged 3d, September, 1783, at the barracks on Third street, south of Green, known long after as the Hall of the Commissioners of the Northern Liberties. *See Col. Craig's letter Penn'a Archives, O. S., vol. ix, page 503. This is probably the new regiment alluded to in Denny's Journal, page 249, that reached Yorktown October 30: "the officers hastened to partake of the siege, but were too late."— Ibid. JUL.Y 1, 1776, TO NOVEMBER 3, 17.S3. REMINISCE:NCES. (a) Some reminiscences of the fidelity, grit, and morale of the Pennsylvania Line taken from contemporary sources should perhaps enliven these statistical details. Winthrop Sergeant in his unique "life and career of Major John Andre, relates that Gen. Washington, having arrived in camp on the evening of 28th October, 1780, caused a board of every general officer present with the army to be convened to decide Andre's fate, and in a footnote inquires, "yet where were Wayne and Ir- vine?" Dr. W. A. Irvine, of Irvine, Warren county, Penn'a, settles that question very satisfactorily by two letters taken from his grandfather Gen. William Irvine's portfolio of manu- scripts: General Wayne to General Washington. Smith's White House,* September 27, 1780. Dear Sir: Your letter of yesterday, from Robinson House, came to hand between seven and eight o'clock last evening. As the troops were much fatigued on account of loss of sleep, no prospect of any movement of the enemy up the river, and being in possession of and commanding the pass by Storm's toward West Point, with a squad in our rear to file off our ar- tillery toward Haverstraw forge, under the mountain, to Suf- fren's, General Irvine and myself thought it best to remain in this position until morning, or until a move of the enemy should take place; in the latter case to make a rapid march for West Point, sending our artillery and baggage the route al- ready mentioned, as soon as the latter should arrive. I forgot to mention to your Excellency that the First and Second brig- ades marched at a moment's warning, leaving our tents stand- ing, guards and detachments out, pushed with rapidity, to secure this pass, where it would be in our power to dispute the ground inch oy inch, or to proceed to West Point, as occasion might require, v/hich was effected in as little time as ever so long a march was performed in.' Gen. Wayne in another letter says: "The detached and debilitated state of the garrison at West •Near Haverstraw, on the west side of the Hudson below Stony Point, where Arnold and Andre had their last interview.— Losslng's American Historical Record, vol. 1, page 436. 566 THE PENNSYLVANIA LINE FROM Point insured success to the assailants; the enemy were in per- fect readiness for the enterprise, and only waited the return of Andre to carry it into execution. The 26th was the d??y fixed on for this exploit, and the discovery of Arnold's treachery was not made until late on the 25th. At twelve, on the morning of the 26th, an express reached Gen. Greene from his Excellency, who had fortunately arrived from Hartford, to push on the nearest and best disciplined troops, with orders to gain the defile, or pass under the Dunder-Bargh, before the enemy. The First Pennsylvania brigade moved immediately, and on the arrival of the second express, I was speedily followed by our gallant friend Gen. Irvine, with the Second brigade. Our march of sixteen miles was performed in four hours, during a dark night, without a single halt or a man left behind. When our approach was announced to the General, he thought it was fabulous; but when assured of his Tenth Legion being near him, he expressed great satisfaction and pleasure." Accordingly, Wayne and Irvine were holding West Point, where hard fighting and cool sagacity would probably be re- quired, while the court determined the fate of Andre. Gen. Harry Lee, afterwards Governor of Virginia, in his "Memoirs of the War in the Southern Department," (published in 1808, vol. 2, page 203), makes the following reference to the Pennsylvania Line: "Wayne had a constitutional attachment to the decision of the sword, and this cast of character had acquired strength from indulgence, as well as from the native temper of the troops he commanded. They were known by the designation of the Line of Pennsylvania, whereas they might have been with more propriety called the Line of Ireland. Bold and dar- ing, they were impatient and refractory, and would always prefer an appeal to the bayonet to a toilsome march. Restless, under the want of food and whisky; adverse to absence from their baggage, ana attached to the pleasures of the table, Wayne and his brigade were more encumbered with wagons, than any equal portion of the army. The General and his soldiers were singularly fitted for close and stubborn action, hand to hand in the center of the army. Cornwallis therefore did not miscalculate when he presumed that the junction of Wayne would increase rather than diminish his chance of bringing his antagonist, Lafayette, to action, &c." Matthews, in his manuscript journal, says: "they are of the long-legged make, most of them without shoes and stockings, and without coats and sometimes they throw away their arms when closely pursued." JULY 1, 1776, TO NOVEMBER 3, 1783. 567 Of Col. Richard Butler, Lee, in his "Memoirs," speaks as "the renowned second and rival of Morgan in the Saratoga encoun- ters." On the 26th of June he encountered Simcoe with a loss to the latter of three officers and thirty privates killed, and on the 6th of July, the battle of Green Springs, a fiercely contested action was fought; but it is in the final scenes about Yorktown that esprit de corps of the Pennsylvania troops shines out. Steuben commanded in the trenches when the flag came out with proposals of capitulation. Lafayette's tour of duty ar- rived while the negotiations went on, and it was a point of honor who nad the right to plant our flag on the captured cit- adel. Lafayette marchea with his division to relieve Steuben, but the latter would not be relieved. Ensign Ebenezer Denny was detailed to erect the flag. While he was in the act of planting it, Steuben galloped up, took the flag, and planted it himself. Col. Richara Butler resented the supposed affront to the Pennsylvania troops, and sent a challenge to Steuben and it required all the influence of Washington on one side, and Rochambeau on the other, to prevent a duel. (Memoirs of Ebenezer Denny, Hist. Soc. Publications, vol. vii, page 214.) We may add to these reminiscences, that it was among the last requests of Baron de Kalb, who fell at the battle of Cam- den, gallantly fighting for the American cause, that his sons should bear commissions in the American service, in the Penn- sylvania Line. This being communicated to the Supreme Ex- ecutive Council by Lieut. Col. Dubueson, his aide-de-camp, it passed a resolution September 10, 1781, requesting the board of war to issue commissions of ensign to Pierre Baron de Kalb and to John Baron de Kalb, out of respect to the memory of their father, and as a tribute of esteem to his family. The attack at Block House Point, July 21, 1780, was made solely by Pennsylvania troops, the first and second brigades, under Col. Humpton and Gen. William Irvine, with four pieces of artillery, belonging to Col. Proctor's regiment and Col. Moy- lan's dragoons, and was the occasion of the following incident related by Gen. Wayne, showing the irrepressible character of his troops. He says, "We found that our artillery had made but little impression, although well and gallantly served; but when the troops understood they were to be drawn off, such was the enthusiastic bravery of all ranks, officers apd men, that the First regiment, no longer capable of restraint, rather then leave a post in the rear, rushed with impetuosity over the 568 THE PENNSYLVANIA LINE FROM abatis and advanced to the stockades, from which they were with difficulty withdrawn, although they had no means of forcing an entrance. The contagion spread to the Second; but by very great efforts of the officers of both regiments, they were at last restrained, not without the loss of some gallant officers wounded and some brave men killed. Happy it was that the General would not admit of the further advance of the Tenth regiment, and thus the situation of Gen. Irvine's brigade pre- vented them from experiencing a loss proportioned to those immediately engaged (as the same gallant spirit pervaded the whole").— Letter to Gen. Washington, July 22, 1780.

A return, signed by William Williams, major, of the number of men enlisted, passed muster, and brought into the field, from December 24, 1776, to June 30, 1777, is as follows: Passed Brought Enlisted, muster, to field. Capt. Joseph Howell, 45 45 25 Capt. John Patterson 36 36 24 Capt. Jacob Ashmead, 33 33 22 Capt. John Bankson, 45 44 27 Capt. George Jenkins, 41 41 36 Capt. Roger Stayner, 52 52 34 Capt. Christian Staddel, 44 44 22 Captain Samuel Tolbert, 44 44 29 340 339 219 The embarrassments resulting from change and resignation of field officers acted unfavorably upon the efficiency of the reg- iment in organization, and with the fusion of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania with it on the 1st of July, 1778, and. change of commanders complicates and confuses what few records the ravages of fire have left of it. Only two general returns can be found, the one mentioned in the subsequent letter of Major Williams, and one signed by Benjamin Boyer, adjutant, which seems to have been made immediately after the battle of Ger- mantown, October 4, 1777. By the first mentioned return of August, 1777, there were present one major, five captains, two first lieutenants, four second lieutenants, four ensigns, adju- tant, quarter-master, paymaster, and surgeon, thirteen ser- geants, nine drums and fifes, one hundred and six rank and file, fit for duty, four sick present, nineteen sick absent, nine- teen on command; total one hundred and forty-eight. Absent by leave, Ensign de Haas, since November 3, 1776, Capt. Stay- ner, August 9, 1777, Capt. Jenkins, August 10, 1777. Absent and wounded, Capt. Ashmead, Lieuts. Cobea, Clumberg, Gos- ner. Canon, Boyer, Ensign Purcell; the six last named at Phil- adelphia; Ensign Strieker, at Germantown; on command, En- sign Burton. Vacant commissions. Col. Irvine, resigned; Lieut. 774 CONTINENTAL LINE. Col. Jones, resigned; First Lieut. John Ellis, cashiered; First Lieut. William Moore, resigned; First Lieut. Ziegler, resigned; Second Lieut. Stoy, promoted; Ensign Abel Morris, promoted; two sergeants and fourteen men on command with the artillery. The fife major confined for re-enlisting. Major William Williams, from "Camp at Cross Roads, August 11, 1777," writes to the Supreme Executive Council, as follows: "Gentlemen: I enclose you a weekly return of the Second Pennsylvania. You will find there are three first lieutenants, two second lieutenants, and one ensign wanting to complete the subalterns. In a letter to the Hon. Board of War, I gave my reasons for not promoting the second lieutenants and ensigns in rotation. I should be glad if you would appoint gentlemen that would be fit to fill the place of first lieutenants, as those that come in rotation are too young. I think Gen'l de Haas' son should be left out, as I know no reason why he should re- ceive pay, when he is not fit to take from school; he has been near a year appointed, and has never seen the regiment. I should be exceeding glad if a colonel could be appointed soon, as the regiment has suffered much by the different changes and intervals of commanding officers. The regiment no doubt suffered heavily at Brandywine and Germantown, as the October return says the regiment com- manded by Capt. Joseph Howell and only one other captain, Staddel, present; one first lieutenant, three second lieutenants, five ensigns, pay-master, quarter-master, surgeon, eight ser- geants, ten drums and fifes. Rank and file, fifty-six present, fit for duty; thirteen sick present; seventeen sick absent; twenty-four on command; total rank and file, one hundred and ten. Major Williams taken at Germantown, one captain in arrest, one prisoner in Philadelphia, one sick at Burlington, four subalterns sick absent, and one sick present. Maj. Williams subsequently escaped, and from the following letter to Pres- ident W h a r- ton, of Penn- '<^'5^^*^-x^ ed at "White Horse, May 2, 1778," some idea may be had of the trials and vexation of 'an officer of the Revolution, by the numerous re-arrangements of the PennsylvaniaLine: "Sir: During my confinement as a prisoner of war, several promotions took place, among which number I expected to have been placed. SECOND PENNSYLVANIA. 775 "Since my escape, I found I was neglected; I mentioned it to his Excellency General Washington, who told me it should be rectified, and that it was General Wayne who gave in the re- port of the officers for promotion. "I sometime after called on General Wayne for the reasons; he told me he knew of no other, that it was not customary lo promote those who were prisoners. Sometime since I waited on his Excellency General Washington, to know if there was any likelihood of my being restored to my rank, he again in- formed me that it was thro' General Wayne I was left out, and desired me to inform General Wayne to let him know the reasons why there was not a vacancy left in the promotions for me. (I have since wrote to General Wayne to that pur- pose;) his Excellency, at the same time, informed me that the State has taken upon to settle the rank of the army; upon this information, I trouble your Excellency with my situation, that I cannot serve in my present commission on account of a num- ber of junior oflJicers, who would command me. I have the sat- isfaction to inform your Excellency, that I have not been charged, since I have been in the service, with the least neglect of duty or disobedience of orders, and I am conscious I never turned my back on the enemy without orders, nor never feared to face them when I had orders. I was the second captain in the First Pennsylvania battalion, and by different rules for promotion, numbers of junior officers now command me. I shall be happy when my country has no further occasion of my services, yet am willing to serve, but would not chuse to hold a commission at the will of an individual." By the arrangement which took place July 1, 1778, the Thir- teenth Pennsylvania was incorporated with the Second Penn'a, and Col. Walter Stewart became colonel of the Second.

After the term of service expired, and the battalion re- turned from Ticon- deroga, he was promoted major of the Tenth regiment, and as such rendered important services. At Brandywine, he was alongside of Major Lewis Bush, of Hartley's regiment, when the latter was mortally wounded. He had been re-mounted, and when he fell off dead, had his body carried along in the retreat. At Paoli, it was by the particular exertions of Gen. Wayne, Maj. North, and Capt. Herman Stout, of the Tenth, that a rear guard was formed by which two pieces of cannon and the remains of the brigade were saved. He was detached the same night to direct the retreat of Gen. Smallwood, and had a vidette killed by his side. After taking a prominent part at Germantown, he was promoted lieutenant colonel of the Eleventh.

He retired from the army July 1, 1783, resumed business at Coventry, and connected himself with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he was a very prominent and consistent member during life.

The enemy up- braided them with the perfidy of asking for quarters, and persisting in resistance. Major Byles denied, in a determined tone, that he had called for quarter; but his resolution did not avail. A surrender took place, and, in the act, the Major received a mortal wound, with which he expired. Lieuts. Glentworth and Sherman had thrown themselves into the Major's quarters, and assisted in the defense. The latter was wounded. Lieut. Bryson, being a few days before detached by Major Byles to the new Bridge, defended that post with great gallantry, out, overpowered, he surrendered. He received great attention from the enemy on account of his bravery. Such of the detachment as could be collected, aided by a few militia, hung on the rear of the enemy, retaking four wagons and nine- teen horses. The enemy made their boasts that as Major Byles did not present the hilt of his sword in front when surrendering, they shot him." General Hand, on the 22d of April, recommended George Tudor, of the Fourth, "as an old and experienced officer, and one in every respect qualified to fill the vacancy with credit to the Line, but the rank was accorded to Capt. William Alex- ander, of the Seventh Penn'a. In July, 1778, the Twelfth Penn'a, which had been reduced to a skeleton regiment by exposures as a picket regiment, being largely composed of riflemen, was incorporated with the Third; and, on January 17, 1781, the Third was reorganized, under Col. Craig, and, after recruiting at Easton, accompanied Gen. Wayne upon the Southern campaign, or, at least, the largest portion of it, being detached for that purpose. Capt. James Chrystie was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1750. Came to Pennsylvania in 1775. On the discovery of Arnold's plot at West Point, he was detailed specially by Gen. Washington to visit all the posts. He served until the end of the war, and was said to be the oldest captain in service, ex- cept one. He was the father of Lieut. Col. James Chrystie, of Fifteenth United States infantry, who distinguished himself at Queenstown in the war of 1812 — 1814. They were both dead THIRD PENNSYLVANIA. 911 in 1824. Capt. Thomas Butler, at the battle of Brandywine, received the thanks of Gen. Washington on the field for rally- ing a detachment of retreating troops. He was a major at St. Clair's defeat, and had his leg broken by a ball, and it was with difficulty that his surviving brother, Capt. Edward Butler, got him off the field. In 1794, he was promoted lieutenant colonel commandant to sub-legion, and, in 1802, on reduction of the army, he was continued as colonel. He died September 7, 1805, aged fifty-one.

The regiment, during all of its active service, was under the command of Lieut. Col. William Butler, Col. Cadwalader being a prisoner on parole. Shortly after the battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778, Col. Butler was ordered to Schoharie, New York, with his regiment, and a detachment from Morgan's rifles, under Major James Parr, late of First Pennsylvania, and Capt. Long, of the Maryland line, to defend the frontiers of New York, and to chastise the Indians. A return among the Hand Papers, dated at Schoharie, October, 1778, gives the strength of the Fourth, present, as one lieutenant colonel, major, five captains, six lieutenants, adjutant, pay-master, and quarter- master; present, on duty, one hundred and twenty-four; sick, present, eleven; sick, absent, forty-three; on command, twelve. Rifle corps, one major, four captains, four lieutenants, one en- sign; total strength, one hundred and twenty-two. The fol- lowing letter, details one of their, expeditions: Col. Butler to Gen. Stark. Schoharie, October 16th, 1778. "Dear General: Last evening, greatly fatigued, I returned from our Indian expedition, and embrace this early opportunity to give you a sketch of it, extracted from my journal. "Oct. 1st. As I intended marching the next day, I detached Lieut. Stevens, with twelve men, a subaltern, and the privates of the militia to the frontiers of the settlement, to guard the roads and passages leading to the enemy to prevent any intel- ligence being carried. "2d. P. M. I marched the troops, consisting of the rifle corps, Fourth Pennsylvania regiment, and twenty rangers, with six days' provisions on their backs, and five on the pack-horses. We moved this day twelve miles, to one Matthias's, without anything material happening. "3d. Marched early this morning; arrived at Mr. Sawyers', on the head of Delaware, being fifteen miles. Rainy, disagreeable weather, and very bad road. "4th. The weather being clear, about ten o'clock A. M., pro- ceeded to Cowley's, down the Delaware, ten miles. "5th. Continued down the course of the Delaware fifteen miles further; we then left it and struck across the mountains for the Susquehannah. This day we marched eighteen miles. "6th. Began our march early this morning, and at dusk ar- rived within eight miles of the Unadilla settlement. I here de- tached Lieuts. Stevens and Long with small parties to make prisoners of some inhabitants who lived within four miles of FOURTH PENNSYLVANIA. 1027 the Unadilla. I then continued my road in the night, in order to be better concealed, and within a smaller distance from the settlement, from whence I might make the attack early in the morning. But after having marched about seven miles, I met the parties who were detached with one prisoner; he told me that the enemy had left the place some days before, and were gone for Anaquago. This day marched twenty-four miles. "7th. Early this morning detached Lieut Stevens with a few men to Unadilla, to make a prisoner of one Glagford, who I in- tended should guide me to Anaquago. This he effected, and after the troops had cooked their provisions and rested them- selves a little, we marched five miles beyond the Unam Northampton county. I^ainar township, in Centre (now Clinton), was named for him in August. 1817, by Judge Jona. Walker. CONTINENTAL LINE. Captains. Scull, Edward, of Reading, from adjutant of Col.
