THE  FIFTH  PENNSYLVANIA,     (a.) 


By  the  re-enlistment,  to  a  large  extent,  of  the  Fourth  bat- 
talion, Col.  Wayne's,  under  the  old  officers,  the  Fifth  Penn'a

From  camp  at  "Tapan,  August  21,  1780,"  Col.  Francis  Johns- 
ton writes  to  "His  Excellency  Joseph  Reed,  Esq.,  President 
of  Pennsylvania,"  as  follows: 

"Sir:  I  beg  leave  to  inform  your  Excellency  that  Major 
Church,  of  the  4  Penn'a  Regt.,  in  consequence  of  Lt.  Colonel 
Connor's  death,  is  entitled  to  be  promoted  a  Lieut.  Colonel  in 
his  stead  in  the  6th  Regiment,  from  which  Lt.  Col.  Harmar 
was  lately  taken  as  Commandant  of  the  7th. 

"It  has  not  yet  been  fully  ascertained  whether  Lt.  Col.  Con- 
nor is  really  dead,  but  it  is  generally  believed,  and  I  fear  with 
too  good  grounds.  However,  'tis  probable  your  Excell'y  by 
this  time  may  know  with  certainty  the  truth  of  this  fact. 

"Should  it  be  so,  I  should  be  glad  Major  Church  may  have 
his  promotion  as  early  as  your  Excell'y  can  with  convenience.

However,  I  suppose  Genl.  St.  Clair  has  written  your  Excell'y 
on  this  subject.

Lieut.  Col.  Mentges  to  Supreme  Executive  Council: 

Camp,  the  14  feb.,  1780. 
"Honored  Gentlemen:  Cap.  Job  Vernon  and  Capt.  Lieut. 
John  Barclay  having  made  application  to  me  for  their  com- 
missions, I  beg  leave  to  transmit  to  your  Honorable  Board  the 
right  they  have  to  promotion,  viz:  Cap.  Michael  Ryan,  of  the 
5th  Reg.  resigned  the  15th  June,  1779.  Capt.  Lt.  Job  Vernon 
to  succeed  to  promotion  of  a  Capt.  Lt.  John  Barclay  to  succeed 
Capt.  Lt.  Vernon  to  Capt.  Lieut,  of  the  same  date.  Lieut. 
Andew  Lytle,  of  the  same  regiment,  unfortunately  lost  his 
commission.  I  would  be  glad  if  the  Hon.  Coun.  would  grant 
him  another,  dated  the  20  January,  1777.  I  am  in  hopes  you 
will  grant  this  request,  and  I  am,  with  the  highest  esteem, 

"You  ob't  Ser't,

"Lt.  Col.  Com'd  5  Regt." 


After  the  Revolt  of  the  Line,  the  Fifth  and  Ninth  regiments 
were  ordered  to  Reading,  in  order  to  have  their  depreciation 
settled  by  the  auditors. 

Under  the  arrangement  of  January  17,  1781,  Col.  Johnston  re- 
tired. After  the  promotion  of  Col.  Wayne,  he  had  succeeded 
to  the  command  of  the  regiment,  and  was  present  with  it  at 
Brandywine,  Germantown,  Monmouth  and  Stony  Point.  He 
was  appointed,  April  9,  1781,  Receiver  General  of  the  State, 
and  elected  High  Sheriff  of  the  city  and  county  of  Philadelphia 
October  25,  1810,  where  he  died  on  the  22d  of  February,  1815, 
in  his  sixty-seventh  year. 

Col.  Johnston  was  succeeded  by  Col.  Richard  Butler,  who 
commanded  it  during  the  campaign  under  Gen.  Wayne  in  the 
South.  Butler  was  lieutenant  colonel  of  the  rifle  regiment 
commanded  by  Col.  Morgan,  which  was  made  up  of  picked  men 
detached   from   the   several   regiments   of   the   Pennsylvania,

Maryland,  and  Virginia  Lines,  and  distinguished  himself  very 
much  at  Saratoga.  Of  his  career  in  the  South,  the  following 
letter  to  Gen.  William  Irvine  gives  some  incidents. 

Col.  Richard  Butler  to  Gen.  William  Irvine. 

Quarters,  8th  July,  1781. 

Dear  General:  I  hope  you'll  not  charge  my  silence  to  Taci- 
turnity or  neglect,  when  I  assure  you  it  is  neither.  I  would 
have  wrote  you  had  any  op'ty  hapen'd  since  I  could  collect 
subject  to  write  on,  &  although  I  Essay  it  now,  I  can't  boast 
much  either  to  please  or  amuse  you. 

"After  a  fatigueing  march,  prosecuted  with  bad  weather,  we 
join'd  the  Marquiss,  the  10th  of  June;  about  this  time  L'd 
Cornwallis  was  really  sporting  through  the  country  without  op- 
position. The  very  name  of  a  dragoon  had  such  influence  on 
the  minds  of  (not  only)  country  people,  but  the  troops  of  the 
army,  that  few  dar'd  to  approach  them;  the  consequence  of 
which  was  very  bad  Intelligence.  Charlottsville  was  sack'd 
without  a  shot,  and  every  kind  of  depredation  committed  with 
Impunity,  the  people  seem'd  Scar'd  to  Death,  and  nothing  but 
dispondency  &  resignation  appear'd  in  their  countinances.  In- 
deed, they  seem'd  quite  prepar'd  for  the  yoke;  however,  our 
junction  gave  a  zest  to  business,  and  things  began  to  wear  a 
new  face.  Cornwallis  turn'd  about  on  hearing  of  our  arrival, 
&  the  Exaggerated  Acc'ts  of  our  force  added  to  his  anxiety 
in  return,  &  he  mov'd  back  with  a  little  more  Caution  than 
he  Advanc'd.  The  militia  was  now  call'd,  Provissions  col- 
lected, &  on  the  14th  we  mov'd  toward  Richmond.  The  peo- 
ple from  the  back  country  join'd  us  in  considerable  numbers, 
&  are  really  good  troops.  On  the  24th,  I  was  sent  out  with  a 
small  Advanc'd  light  Corps,  to  try  to  strike  the  Brittish  rear; 
after  three  days  and  nights  successive  march  I  got  up  with 
Simcoe;  I  gave  him  a  handsome  stroke,  with  little  loss  myself; 
we  kill'd  about  50,  and  some  oflicers,  took  a  few  prisoners,  a 
good  many  dragoon  horses  &  furniture,  with  a  number  of 
Cattle  belonging  to  the  Inhabitants;  but  being  but  8  miles  from 
Williamsburg  and  their  whole  force,,  could  not  think  of  run- 
ning a  greater  risque;  and  want  of  sleep,  threw  me  into  a 
violent  fever  &  Diaroehea,  which  had  like  to  have  taken  me 
off,  but  am  now  perfectly  restor'd,  and  shall  join  the  Army 
to-morrow.  I  cannot  acc't  for  the  Enemy's  movements;  they 
have  lain  since  the  26th,  at  and  below  Williamsburg,  and 
yesterday  mov'd  to  Jamestown,  but  a  few  miles  from  there; 


6  CONTINENTAL.  LINE. 

our  troops  mov'd  down  near  town,  but  return'd  8  miles  again 
the  same  day.  The  Army  is  generally  healthy,  though  they 
undergo  much  fatigue;  the  Country  here  is  poor  and  sandy, 
the  weather  intensely  hot,  &  the  water  but  middling;  our 
provis'n  is  tollerably  good,  and  the  troops  get  some  apple- 
brandy, which  I  think  is  of  service  to  them;  these  are  the 
things  I  know  your  humanity  &  good  wishes  for  a  Soldier 
Interests  you  in,  I  therefore  take  pleasure  in  informing  you 
I  find  we  shall  be  at  a  great  loss  for  shoes,  overalls  &  shirts  in 
a  little  time;  indeed,  many  of  the  men  are  now  barefoot,  owing 
to  the  heat  of  the  sand,  which  burns  the  leather,  &  is  insup- 
portable to  the  bare  foot;  the  swet,  and  want  of  soap  &  oppor- 
tunity to  wash,  destroys  the  linen  so  that  the  men  will  be 
naked  if  they  don't  get  a  supply  soon.  I  think  it  proper  to 
give  you  Information,  in  order  that  you  may  make  timely 
application,  &  if  possible,  forward  them  by  some  officer;  if 
you  succeed,  my  paymaster,  Lt.  Lytle,  may  ans'r  the  Pur- 
pose. 

"My  Battall'n  is  now  very  small,  the  Companies  not  being 
quite  full  at  first,  &  considerable  desertion  and  sickness  since. 
I  have,  therefore  wrote  Col.  Mentges  to  send  on  what  he  can 
Collect,  with  some  fifers,  &  A  number  of  spare  fifes  for  the 
line — I  think  about  30  will  do.  I  must  request  of  you,  my  dear 
Gen'l,  to  have  them  push'd  on  as  fast  as  possible,  as  I  think 
that  assistance  will  be  wanting,  in  case  the  Earl  plays  the 
cunning  game  &  lays  by  till  our  militia  is  dispers'd  by  the  calls 
of  their  harvest,  (which  is  now  in),  other  Necessitys,  and  a 
push,  when  weak,  may  oblige  us  to  move  backwards,  which  I 
would  not  like. 

"I  conclude,  with  assuring  you  that  I  am,  with  every  senti- 
ment of  Friendship  and  respect,  Dear  Sir,  your  most  Obed't  & 
very  Hub.  St., 

"RICH'D  BUTLER, 
"Col.  5  P.  Regt." 

Col.  Butler  was  second  in  command  to  Gen.  St.  Clair,  and  fell 
in  the  battle  of  November  4,  1791,  which  terminated  in  the  de- 
feat of  St.  Clair's  army.  He  had  four  brothers,^  noted  officers 
in  the  Pennsylvania  Line,  Col.  William,  Major  Thomas,  Lieut. 
Percival,  and  Capt.  Edward;  the  two  latter  were  with  him  at 
St  Clair's  defeat. 

Of  Lieutenant  Colonel  Persifor  Frazer,  we  have  this  data:  He 
was  the  son  of  John  Frazer,  of  Scotland,  who  came  to  America 
In  1735,  born  near  Newtown  Square,  Chester  county,  August  10,

1736.  He  became  a  merchant,  and  was  a  partner  of  the  iron 
works  at  Oxford,  and  afterward  in  the  Sarum  forge.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Provincial  convention  which,  in  January,  1765, 
protested  against  the  further  importation  of  negro  slaves;  a 
signer  to  the  non-importation  resolutions  of  the  25th  of  October 
that  year,  and  a  delegate  to  the  Provincial  conference  of  Jan- 
uary 18,  1775.  He  raised  and  commanded  the  first  company  of 
the  Fourth  battalion.  Col.  Wayne,  commissioned  January  5, 
1776,  and  was  appointed  major  by  Gen.  Gates  at  Ticonderoga, 
September  24,  1776.  Upon  the  organization  of  the  Fifth  regi- 
ment of  the  Continental  Line,  he  was  commissioned  lieutenant 
colonel,  to  rank  from  October  4,  1776.  He  was  taken  prisoner 
September  12,  1777,  and  held  in  Philadelphia  until  his  escape  in 
March,  1778.  He  rejoined  his  regument,  and  was  present  at  the 
battle  of  Monmouth;  but  offended  on  account  of  some  promo- 
tions over  him  during  his  captivity,  he  resigned  October  9, 1778. 
He  subsequently  held  different  military  positions,  but  never 
went  into  service  in  the  field.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  April 
24,  1792,  he  was  register  of  wills  and  recorder  of  deeds  for 
Chester  county.  Col.  Frazer  married,  October  27,  1766,  Mary 
Worrall  Taylor,  who  survived  him  many  years.  Gen.  Persifor 
F.  Smith,  U.  S.  A.,  Prof.  John  Frazer,  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  and  P.  Frazer  Smith,  reported  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Pennsylvania,  were  grandsons  of  Col.  Frazer.

SIXTH  PENNSYLVANIA  REGIMENT,     (a.) 


Materials  for  a  historical  sketch  of  this  regiment  are  scant, 
no  general  returns  of  the  numbers  of  rank  and  file,  or  corres- 
pondence throwing  light  upon  it,  having  been  found.  It  was 
organized  on  the  basis  of  Col.  Magaw's  Fifth  battalion,  but 
that  was  captured,  with  all  its  records,  in  the  disaster  of  Fort 
Washington,  November  16,  1776.  Col.  Magaw  remained  a  pris- 
oner, Lieut.  Col.  Henry  Bicker  commanding  until  he  was  suc- 
ceeded by  Lieut.  Col.  Josiah  Harmar,  Who  commanded  the  reg- 
iment during  the  most  of  its  military  career. 

The  Sixth  regiment,  with  the  Third,  Ninth,  and  Twelfth,  was 
attached  to  a  division  composed  chiefly  of  Jersey  troops.  Of 
the  brigade,  see  letter  of  Capt.  Thomas  B.  Bowen,  of  the 
Ninth;  and  Capt.  James  Chrystie,  of  the  Third,  in  a  memorial 
to  the  Executive  Council,  dated  Lancaster,  February  3,  1778, 
Pennsylvania  Archives,  second  series,  third  volume,  170 — 171. 

The  following  is  a  memorandum  "of  sundry  officers  made  su- 
pernumerary by  an  arrangement  which  took  place  in  the  year 
1778;"  also,  to  what  time  each  oflBcer  was  paid  for  actual  ser- 
vice: 

John  McGowan,  captain,  June  21,  1778,  $480. 
Walter  Cruise,  captain,  June  21,  1778,  $480.

"I  certify  that  the  above  is  a  true  extract  from  the  pay  rolls 
of  the  Sixth  Pennsylvania  Regiment,  which  are  yet  in  my  pos- 
session. 

"THOMAS  DUNGAN, 
"Formerly  Paymaster  to  the  above  named  Regiment." 


102  CONTINENTAL  LINE. 

Col.  Henry  Bicker,  in  1755,  was  lieutenant  of  a  Jersey  regi- 
ment; was  promoted  captain  in  1756;  captured,  and  remained 
a  prisoner  in  Canada  fourteen  months;  after  his  return  he 
acted  as  quartermaster  of  Gen.  Gage's  regiment  until  the  close 
of  the  French-Indian  war;  his  history  subsequent  to  his  retire- 
ment, in  1778,  cannot  be  traced. 

Capt.  Luke  Brodhead  belonged  originally  to  Miles'  regiment, 
and  was  captured  on  Long  Island;  after  his  return  from  cap- 
tivity, he  joined  the  Sixth,  and  participated  in  the  actions  at 
Short  Hill,  Brandy  wine,  and  Germantown;  his  health,  im- 
paired by  captivity  and  wounds  received  at  Long  Island,  com- 
pelled him  to  quit  the  service  June  21,  1778;  he  died  at  Strouds- 
burg,  June  19,  1804. 

Of  Lieut.  James  Gibbon,  all  accounts  of  the  storming  of  Stony 
Point  give  him  distinguished  notice;  he  was  promoted  captain 
by  brevet  for  his  gallant  conduct;  he  led  the  left  forlorn  hope, 
composed  of  twenty  men,  losing  seventeen  killed  and  wounded; 
he  is  mentioned  in  Gen.  Wayne's  letter,  and  was  voted  the 
thanks  of  Congress;  he  died  at  Richmond,  Virginia,  at  which 
city  he  was  collector,  in  June,  1835,  aged  seventy-seven.  His 
son,  James,  an  officer  in  the  United  States  navy,  perished  in 
the  burning  of  the  Richmond  theatre,  in  December,  1811. 

Capt.  Jacob  Humphreys  was  born  in  Bucks  county,  1751.  En- 
gaged in  the  battles  of  Trenton,  Princeton,  Brandywine,  Ger- 
mantown, and  Yorktown;  served  in  the  Southern  campaign; 
mustered  out  at  Philadelphia,  in  First  Penn'a,  in  1783;  he  re- 
sided in  West  Fallowfield,  Chester  county;  elected  to  the  Legis- 
lature in  1814-15;  and  in  July,  1825,  was  one  of  the  county  com- 
mittee to  receive  Gen.  Lafayette;  he  died  January  21,  1826, 
aged  seventy-five. — Letter  of  Hon.  J.  Smith  Futhey. 


"Camp  West  Point,  August  25,  1779. 
"Sir:  By  the  resolve  of  Congress,  28  June  last,  I  observe 
that  whenever  vacancies  happen  in  a  regiment,  the  commanding 
oflBcer  is  to  notify  the  President  of  the  State  that  proper  per- 
sons may  be  appointed,  I  must,  therefore,  beg  leave  to  inform 
your  Excellency  of  two  Vacancies  in  the  Sixth  Pennsylvania 
Regiment,  and  at  the  same  time  to  recommend  Mr.  Dixon  and 
Mr.  Humphries  to  be  appointed  as  ensigns.  The  former  is  my 
sergeant-major,  a  person  of  good  morals,  and  as  brave  as  Cae- 
sar. The  latter  has  been  a  volunteer  in  Major  Lee's  corps. 
The  major  has  strongly  recommended  him  to  me  as  a  person 
of  unblemished  character.

SEVENTH  PENNSYLVANIA  REGIMENT,     (a.) 


The  Seventh  Penn'a  regiment  was  organized  by  the  re- 
enlistment  of  Col.  William  Irvine's  Sixth  battalion.  Col. 
Irvine  remained  a  prisoner  on  parole  until  April,  1778,  when 
he  was  exchanged,  and  the  following  year  promoted  brigadier 
general,  and  assigned  to  the  Second  brigade,  which  he  con- 
tinued to  command  until  the  fall  of  1781,  when  he  was 
detached  to  Pittsburgh,  and  charged  with  the  defense  of  the 
northwestern  frontier.  Lieut.  Col.  Hartley  was  appointed  by 
Gen.  Washington,  in  January,  1777,  to  command  one  of  the 
additional  regiments,  and,  by  the  arrangement  of  March  12, 
1777,  Major  David  Grier  became  lieutenant  colonel,  and  had 
charge  of  the  regiment  until  Col.  Irvine's  exchange.  On  Col. 
Irvine's  promotion,  Lieut.  Col.  Morgan  Conner,  of  Hartley's 
additional  regiment,  was  assigned  to  the  command,  with  the 
rank  of  lieutenant  colonel  commandant  (see  note  to  Hartley's 
regiment). 

It  appears,  by  Lieut.  Col.  Grier's  letter  postea,  that  the  Sixth 
battalion,  now  Seventh  regiment,  only  returned  t'o  Carlisle 
from  Ticonderoga  in  March,  1777,  and,  on  the  9th  of  March,  he 
returns  to  the  Council  of  Safety  the  following,  as  a  true  list  of 
the  officers  as  they  now  are  in  said  regiment,  with  the  remarks 
appended,  which  his  letter  explains:

SEVENTH  PENNSYLVANIA.  201 

On  March  15,  1777,  Lieut.  Col.  David  Grier  writes  to  the 
Board  of  War: 

"I  would  just  inform  the  Honb.  Board  that  I  have  made  en- 
quiry of  some  of  the  oflEicers  formerly  in  the  2nd  Penn.  Regm't, 
men  of  probity  and  honour,  that  notwithstanding  the  recom- 
mendation in  Mr.  Allison's  favor  (which  I  doubt  not  the 
Hon'ble  Board  have  had),  he  was  not  agreeable  to  the  officers 
of  the  same  corps;  that  they  believe  him  a  good  man  but  not  a 
good  officer;  has  no  military  ambition  or  knowledge,  and  I 
understand  from  himself  that  the  reasons  for  his  resignation 
were  because  younger  officers  were  advanced  over  him,  which 
is  always  a  hint  to  leave  the  service.  I  would  also  mention 
that  those  men  mentioned  by  me,  not  fit  to  rise,  in  the  7th 
Regt.,  were  good  men,  good  members  of  Society,  inoffensive 
to  the  other  officers,  and  yet  not  thought  good  officers  in  com- 
parison to  the  rest  of  the  regiment,  tho',  in  my  opinion,  much 
preferable  to  this  gentleman;  and  as  our  officers  and  men  are 
just  come  to  Carlisle  from  Ticonderoga,  they  would  think  it 
hard  to  have  a  man  of  that  character  put  into  their  regiment. 
I  would  just  inform  the  Board  that  I  have  had  messages  from 
three  genteel  young  men,  of  good  families,  requesting  appoint- 
ment in  this  regiment,  and  expect  to  have  it  in  my  power, 
before  next  Monday,  to  be  able  to  fill  up  all  the  vacancies, 
provided  the  Hon'ble  Board  will  give  that  indulgence. 

"P.  S.  I  have  had  no  opportunity  to  consult  the  officers  of 
the  regiment  since  the  first  intimation  from  the  Hon'ble  Board, 
of  leaving  out  those  officers,  prisoners." 

On  the  17th,  he  encloses  to  the  board  of  war  a  list  (which 
cannot  be  found)  of  names  for  appointment  in  the  regiment 
which  he  says  "he  is  confident  will  give  general  satisfaction, 
and  be  a  great  inducement  to  the  men  who  have  been  dis- 
charged to  re-enlist;  all  the  new  officers  mentioned,  unless 
those  opposite  the  crotchet,  were  with  us  in  Canada;  are  young 
men  of  good  family  and  most  of  them  men  of  property;  have 
behaved  well  in  every  instance  while  in  service,  and  have  great 
influence  in  the  neighborhoods  where  they  reside,  &c.  I  lodge 
at  the  Indian  Queen,  and  should  be  glad  to  know  the  result 
of  the  Hon'ble  Board." 

The  subsequent  roster  indicates  that  his  recommendations 
were  probably  adopted,  the  promotions  to  captains  being  en- 
tirely from  the  old  battalion,  dropping  the  captive  officers. 

A  return,  dated  "Camp  at  Middlebrook,  June  17,  1777,"  signed 
by  Lt.  Col.  Grier,  gives  the  state  of  the  regiment  as  follows: 
one  lieutenant  colonel,  one  major,  eight  captains,  fifteen  lieu- 
tenants, eight  ensigns,  one  surgeon,  no  mate,  adjutant,  quarter-

master,  and  paymaster;  four  hundred  and  twenty-five  men 
enlisted  during  the  war,  or  three  years;  two  hundred  and 
twenty  of  which  are  present,  fit  for  duty  in  camp;  forty-one 
sick,  in  camp;  forty-two  sick,  absent;  six  on  furlough;  two  dis- 
charged; sixty  deserted;  fourteen  dead;  one  absent  without 
leave;  nineteen  recruiting;  twenty  in  dispute  with  Col.  Hart- 
ley; a  captain,  seven  lieutenants,  and  five  ensigns  are  recruit- 
ing in  the  back  counties. 


The  following,  dated  "Camp  at  Trappe,  Sept.  29,  1777,"  from 
Major  Hay  to  Col.  William  Irvine,  relating  to  the  Paoli  night 
attack,  is  furnished  by  Dr.  W.  A.  Irvine,  of  Warren  county, 
grand-son  of  Col.  Irvine: 

"Dear  Colonel:  Since  I  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  you,  me 
Division  under  the  command  of  General  Wayne  has  been  sur- 
prised by  the  enemy,  with  considerable  loss.  We  were  ordered 
by  his  Excellency  to  march  from  Yellow  Springs,  down  to 
where  the  Enemy  lay,  near  the  Admiral  Warren,  thereto  annoy 
their  rear.  We  marched  early  on  the  17th  instant,  and  got 
below  the  Paoli  that  night.  On  the  next  day  fixed  on  a  place 
for  our  camp.  We  lay  the  18th  and  19th  undisturbed,  but,  on 
the  20th,  at  12  o'clock  at  night,  the  Enemy  marched  out,  ana 
so  unguarded  was  our  Camp  that  they  were  amongst  us  before 
we  either  formed  in  any  manner  for  our  sateiy,  or  attempted 
to  retreat,  notwithstanding  the  General  had  full  intelligence 
of  their  designs  two  hours  before  they  came  out.  I  will  inform 
you  in  a  few  words  of  what  happened.  The  annals  of  the  age 
cannot  produce  such  a  scene  of  butchery.  All  was  confusion. 
The  enemy  amongst  us,  and  your  regiment  the  most  exposed, 
as  the  Enemy  came  on  the  right  wing.  The  1st  Regiment 
(which  always  takes  the  right)  was  taken  off,  and  posted  in  a 
strip  of  woods,  stood  only  one  fire,  and  retreated.  Then  we 
were  next  the  Enemy,  and,  as  we  were  amongst  our  llres,  they 
had  great  advantage  of  us.  I  need  not  go  on  to  give  the  par- 
ticulars, but  the  Enemy  rushed  on,  with  fixed  bayonets,  and 
made  the  use  of  them  they  Intended.  So  you  may  figure  to 
yourself  what  followed.  The  party  lost  300  Privates  in  killed, 
wounded  and  missing,  besides  commissioned  and  non-commis- 
sioned officers.  Our  loss  is  Col.  Grier,  Captain  Wilson,  and 
Lieutenant  Irvine*  wounded  (but  none  of  them  dangerously), 

•Capt.  Andrew  Irvine  received  seventeen  bayonet  wounds  in  all,  one  of 
which  penetrated  through  his  company  books,  which,  in  the  confusion,  he 
had  taken  up,  and  thrust  into  the  breast-pocket  of  his  coat  to  carry  off.  He 
never  entirely  recovered,  but  died  soon  after  the  close  of  the  war  from 
the  effects  of  these  wounds. 


SEVENTH  PENNSYLVANIA.  203 

and  61  non-comm'd  and  privates  killed  and  wounded,  which 
was  just  half  the  men  we  had  on  the  ground  fit  ror  duty.  The 
22d,  I  went  to  the  ground  to  see  the  wounded.  The  scene  was 
shocking — the  poor  men  groaning  under  their  wounds,  which 
were  all  by  stabs  of  Bayonets,  and  cuts  of  Light-horsemen's 
swords.  Col.  Grier  is  wounded  in  the  side  by  a  bayonet,  su- 
perficially slanting  to  the  breast  bone.  Captain  Wilson  stabbed 
in  the  side,  but  not  dangerous,  as  it  did  not  take  the  guts  or 
belly.  He  got  also  a  bad  stroke  on  the  head  with  the  cock 
nail  of  the  locks  of  a  musket.  Andrew  Irvine  was  ran  through 
the  fleshy  part  of  the  thigh  with  a  bayonet.  They  are  all 
laying  near  David  Jones'  tavern,  I  left  Capt'n  McDowell  with 
them  to  dress  and  take  care  of  them,  and  they  are  all  in  a  fair 
way  of  recovery.  Major  La  Mar,  of  the  4th  Regiment,  was 
killed,  and  some  other  inferior  oflBcers.  The  Enemy  lost  Cap- 
tain Wolf,  killed,  and  four  or  five  Light-horsemen,  and  about 
20  privates,  besides  a  number  wounded.  The  General  officers 
have  been  in  Council  for  three  days,  and  the  plan  is  fixed,  but 
what  it  is  we  do  not  yet  know.  Inclosed  you  have  the  state  of 
the  British  Army,  with  their  loss  at  Brandywine.  You  have 
it  as  I  have  it,  and  may  judge  of  it  as  you  think  proper. 

"You  will  see  by  this  imperfect  scrawl  how  many  sorts  of 
Ink  I  have  written  with — all  borrowed — and  the  Ink-stand's 
dry,  as  I  nave  no  Bagage,  nor  have  had  any  this  four  weeks, 
more  than  one  shirt  and  one  pair  of  stockings,  besides  what  is 
on  my  back.  The  other  oflSicers  are  in  the  same  way,  and  most 
of  the  officers  belonging  to  the  Division  have  lost  their  Bagage 
at  Col.  Frazer's,  taken  by  the  Enemy.  I  have  nothing  new  to 
Inform  you  of.  My  compliments  to  Mrs.  Irvine  and  Mrs.  Arm- 
strong. Let  her  know  the  QBn'l  (Armstrong)  is  very  well, 
and  lodges  near  our  camp. 

"I  am,  with  great  respect,  yours  affectionately, 

"SAMUEL  HAY." 


A  return,  signed  by  Jeremiah  Talbot,  captain  commanding 
the  Seventh,  dated  November  1,  1777,  subsequent  to  the  actions

Under  date  of  "York-Town  8th  Dec'r,  1777,"  Lt.  Col.  Grier 
writes  to  Col.  Irvine,  in  regard  to  the  rank  of  the  officers  of 
the  Line: 

"D'r  Col.:  Since  you  were  here  I  had  sent  me  by  Maj'r  Hay, 
the  following  list  &  arrangement  of  the  Penn'a  field  Officers  as 
agreed  on  by  a  Board  of  Gen'l  Officers,  &  Confirmed  by  Con- 
gress. The  resolve  of  Congress  is  as  follows,  viz:  That  Con- 
gress Agree  to  the  Principle  adopted  by  the  said  Board,  in 
Settling  the  relative  rank  or  Precedence  of  the  Officers,  Accord- 
ing to  the  Standing  they  held  in  the  Army  immediately  before 
their  Present  Commissions  (except  where  Promotion  is  had  on 
a  Principle  of  Merit  only).  And  that  the  arrangement  made 
by  the  said  Board,  with  Respect  to  the  Relative  rank  of  the 
Principle  field  Officers,  be  and  is  hereby  Confirmed.  That  the 
Commissions  heretofore  Granted,  are  hereby  Vacated;  that 
said  Commissions  be  delivered  to  Gen'l  Washington,  &  new

"Now,  you  will  see  by  the  above  Arrangement,  that  Notwith- 
standing my  Com'n  as  Maj'r  &  Lt.  Col.  were  Older  than  either 
of  the  five  now  before  me,  viz:  Ross,  R.  Butler,  Craig,  Wm. 
Butler,  &  Frazer,  &  altho'  contrary  to  the  mode,  by  the  said 
Board  adopted,  yet  my  new  Com'n  is  to  be  of  a  Younger  date. 
I  was  a  Major  long  before  either  of  those  ment'd,  which  was 
the  standing  we  held  immediately  before  our  Present  Com'ns; 
I,  therefore,  am  determined,  as  I  have  not  got  the  Benefit  of 
their  own  mode,  to  quit  the  seivice  as  soon  as  I  can  settle  my 
acc't.  I  have  spoke  to  the  Members  of  Congress  several  times 
about  the  Prisoners  of  War,  &  they  told  me  that  very  little 
could  now  be  done,  as  a  Committee  of  Congress  were  gone  to 
head  Qu'rs,  but  as  soon  as  they  Returned  something  would  be 
done.  As  I  am  now  stating  my  Acc'ts  in  Order  to  settle 
them,  I  see  at  the  Bottom  of  your  Gen'l  acc't  two  hundred  & 
thirty  Dollars  added,  without  say'g  to  whom  del'd;  &  you 
ment'n,  at  the  foot,  200  Dollars,  by  you  draw'd  last  Feb.  7,  of 
w'h  you  say  Maj'r  Hay  Has  an  acc't;  he  never  gave  me  any 
such  acc't;  yourself  give  me  rec'ts  of  one  thousand  Dollars, 
draw'd  at  Philad'a,  &  delivered  the  different  officers;  but  the 
other  two  thousand  I  never  heard  of  until  I  Rec'd  your  last 
acc't;  if  you  can  find  any  acc't  of  that  two  thousand,  would 
be  obliged  to  you  to  send  it  me,  as  also  that  230,  &  who  Rec'd  it. 
My  wound  is  quit  skin'd  over,  but  I  find,  on  Riding,  that  the 
Parts  about  the  wound  swells,  inflames,  &  Gets  very  Painful; 
I  fear  it  has  been  let  close  too  soon.  I  find,  by  your  last  acc't, 
that  a  Number  of  the  officers  have  rec'd  more  cash  then  they 
can  acc't  for;  there  must  be  a  loss  some  where,  who  will  suffer 
it  I  do  not  know.  Give  by  Com'ts  to  Mrs.  Irwine,  &  believe 
me,  dear  Col.,  your  very  Hbl.  servt,

After  the  Revolt  of  the  Penn'a  Line,  in  1781,  the  remains  of 
the  Seventh  Penn'a  were  drafted  into  the  Fourth,  subsequently 
the  Fourth  into  the  Third,  and  finally,  in  1783,  into  the  First.

Up  until  the  5th  of  December,  the  regiment  is  styled  in  the 
receipts  "the  Battalion  commanded  by  Col.  Eneas  Mackay." 
In  those  of  December  5,  1776,  it  is  first  styled  "The  Eighth  Bat- 
talion of  Penn'a  troops  in  the  Continental  service."  The  regi- 
ment marched  from  Kittanning  on  the  6th  of  January,  1777, 
and  the  next  notice  we  have  of  it  is  found  in  the  "Life  of  Tim- 
othy Pickering,"  (volume  i,  page  122),  in  the  following  refer- 
ence to  the  Eighth  Penn'a: 

"March  1,  1777,  Saturday. 

"Dr.  Putnam  brought  me  a  billet,  of  which  the  following  is 
a  copy: 

"  'Dear  Sir:  Our  Battalion  is  so  unfortunate  as  not  to  have 
a  Doctor  and  in  my  opinion,  dying  for  want  of  medicine.  I  beg 
you  will  come  down  to-morrow  morning,  and  visit  the  sick  of

•Capt.  of  8  Batt.  of  Pa. 

"  'Quibbletown,  Feb.  28,  1777.' 

"I  desired  the  Dr.  by  all  means  to  visit  them.  They  were 
raised  about  the  Ohio,  and  had  traveled  near  five  hundred 
miles,  as  one  of  the  soldiers  who  came  for  the  Dr.  informed  me. 
For  150  miles  over  mountains,  never  entering  a  house,  but 
building  fires  and  encamping  in  the  Snow.  Considerable  num- 
bers, unused  to  such  hardships,  have  since  died.  The  Colonel 
and  Lieutenant  Colonel  among  the  dead.  The  Dr.  informed 
he  found  them  quartered  in  cold  shattered  houses,"  &c. 


Colonels  Mackey  and  Wilson  having  died,  under  the  arrange- 
ment of  March  12,  1777,  Daniel  Brodhead  became  colonel, 
Richard  Butler  lieutenant  colonel,  and  Stephen  Bayard  major. 
When  Morgan's  rifle  command  was  organized,  Lieut.  Col.  Butler 
was  made  lieutenant  colonel  of  it,  and  Major  James  Ross,  of 
the  First  Penn'a,  became  lieutenant  colonel.  According  to  a 
return,  signed  by  the  latter,  dated  "Mt.  Pleasant,  June  9,  1777," 
the  number  of  men  enlisted  between  the  9th  of  August  and  the 
16th  of  December,  1776,  was  six  hundred  and  thirty;  enlisted 
since  the  16th  of  December,  thirty-four;  making  a  total  of  six 
hundred  and  eighty-four.  The  strength  of  the  respective  com-

Capt.  Van  Swearingen,  First  Lieut.  Basil  Prather,  and  Sec- 
ond Lieut.  John  Hardin,  with  their  commands,  were  also  with 
Morgan,  and  greatly  distinguished  themselves  in  the  series  of 
actions  that  resulted  in  the  surrender  of  Gen.  Burgoyne  at 
Saratoga.  These  commands  consisted  of  picked  riflemen  out  of 
all  of  the  companies  of  the  Eighth  Penn'a. 

A  return,  dated  November  1,  1777,  shows  the  strength  of  the 
regiment  present;  Colonel,  major,  two  captains,  six  lieutenants, 
adjutant,  paymaster  and  surgeon,  sergeant  major,  quarter- 
master sergeant  and  drum  major,  twenty-nine  sergeants,  nine

On  the  5th  of  March,  1778,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  Pitts- 
burgh for  the  defense  of  the  western  frontiers,  and  by  direc- 
tions of  Gen.  Mcintosh,  Col.  Brodhead  made,  about  the  12th  of 
July,  a  detour  up  the  West  Branch  to  check  the  savages  who 
were  ravaging  Wyoming  and  the  West  Branch  valley.  He  was 
at  Muncy,  on  the  24th  of  July,  and  had  ordered  Capt.  Finley's 
company  into  Penn's  valley,  where  two  of  the  latter's  soldiers, 
Thomas  Van  Doren  and  Jacob  Shedacre,  who  had  participated 
in  the  campaign  against  Burgoyne,  were  killed,  on  the  24th,  in 
sight  of  Potter's  Fort,  by  the  Indians.  (Penn'a  Archives,  0. 
S.,  vol.  vi,  page  666.)  Soon  after,  Col.  Hartley  with  his  regi- 
ment relieved  Col.  Brodhead,  and  he  proceeded  with  the  Eighth 
to  Pittsburgh.

"December  31,  at  Fort  Mcintosh:  As  the  Eighth  regiment  is 
deficient  in  subalterns,  the  Gen.  appoints  sergeants  John  Guth- 
rie, John  Clark,  Thomas  Wiatt,  and  James  Morrison,  to  be  en- 
signs. 

There  were  a  great  many  court  martials  of  Eighth  Penn'a, 
Ninth  and  Thirteenth  Virginia  in  1779-80.  Of  the  Eighth, 
Isaac  Alkin,  theft,  guilty,  fifty  lashes;  James  Maxwell,  refusal 
to  do  duty,  to  ride  a  wooden  horse  ten  minutes,  with  a  musket

lashes,  and  to  be  drummed  out  of  the  regiment  as  a  vagabond, 
not  to  appear  on  pain  of  death;  Thomas  Kelly,  five  hundred 
lashes,  surgeon  to  attend  the  execution. 

A  monthly  return  of  the  troops,  commanded  by  Col.  Brod- 
head,  in  the  Western  Department,  dated  July  30,  1780,  gives 
the  strength  of  the  Eighth  Penn'a:  Colonel,  lieutenant  colonel,

and  file,  fit  for  duty,  four  sick,  two  furloughed,  eight  on  com- 
mand, three  deserted,  six  joined  the  Invalid  company. 

In  a  letter  from  Gen.  William  Irvine  to  Gen.  Washington, 
soon  after  he  took  command  at  Fort  Pitt,  dated  December  2, 
1781,  he  says:  "I  have  re-formed  the  remains  of  the  late  Eighth 
Pennsylvania  into  two  companies,  and  call  them  a  detachment 
from  the  Penn'a  Line,  to  be  commanded  by  Lt.  Col.  Bayard." 
[The  first  company,  Capt.  Clark,  Lieuts.  Peterson  and  Reed; 
second  company,  Capt.  Brady,  Lieuts.  Ward  and  Morrison. — 
Note  of  Judge  Veech.] 

Capt.  Matthew  Jack,  in  a  statement  on  file,  says:  "They  were 
stationed  at  Bound  Brook,  New  Jersey,  in  the  winter  and  spring 
of  1777,  where  the  British  attacked  it,  and  defeated  it  with 
the  loss  of  a  number  of  men.  In  the  year  1778,  it  was  sent  to 
Pittsburgh,  to  guard  the  frontier,  and  placed  under  the  com- 
mand of  Gen.  Mcintosh.  That  they  went  down  to  the  mouth 
of  the  Beaver,  and  there  built  Fort  Mcintosh,  and  from  that 
went,  upon  Mcintosh's  command,  to  the  head  of  the  Musk- 
ingum, and  there  built  Fort  Laurens.  In  the  year  1779,  went 
up  the  Allegheny,  on  Gen.  Brodhead's  expedition,  attacked  the 
Indians  and  defeated  them  and  burned  their  towns.  On  the  re- 
turn of  the  regiment,  its  time  having  expired,  it  was  discharged 
at  Pittsburgh."    For  a  full  account  of  the  services  of  the  regi-

ment  in  the  West,  the  reader  is  referred  to  Brodhead's  Letter- 
book,  published  in  the  Twelfth  volume,  first  series,  of  Penn'a 
Archives. 

Col.  Daniel  Brodhead  was  born  about  1725,  his  birthplace 
being,  probably,  Albany,  New  York;  but  as  his  father  made 
several  removals  in  the  early  years  of  his  married  life,  this  is 
not  certain.  In  1738,  his  father  migrated  to  Pennsylvania,  set- 
tling at  a  place  which  he  called,  after  his  own  name,  Dansbury, 
now  East  Stroudsburg,  Monroe  county.  The  younger  Daniel 
grew  up  among  the  rude  experiences  of  a  frontier  settlement, 
and,  probably  had  his  first  experience  of  actual  war  when  the 
Indians,  after  ravaging  all  the  country  between  the  Lehigh 
and  Delaware  rivers,  north  of  the  Blue  Monutains,  attacked  the 
Brodhead  house  at  Dansbury,  which  had  been  hastily  fortified, 
on  the  11th  of  December,  1755.  Ihe  attack  was  a  fierce  one 
but  it  was  totally  unsuccessful,  and  the  repulse  of  the  Indians 
met  ended  for  a  time  the  war  in  that  section.  In  1771,  he  re- 
moved to  Reading,  and  soon  after  was  appointed  Deputy  Sur- 
veyor under  John  Lukens,  who  was  then  Surveyor  General. 
In  July,  1775,  he  was  appointed  a  delegate  from  Berks  county 
to  the  Provincial  Convention  at  Philadelphia.  In  the  beginning 
of  1776,  he  was  appointed  lieutenant  colonel  of  the  rifle  regi- 
ment, which  was  raised  in  six  weeks,  and  given  its  first  ren- 
dezvous at  Marcus  Hook,  on  the  Delaware,  where  it  was 
ordered  to  support  the  Provincial  fieet  in  the  attack  on  the 
Roebuck  and  the  Leopard,  which  vessels  were  menacing  Phila- 
delphia. After  this  attack,  which  served  its  purpose  of  pre- 
venting the  enemy's  advance,  the  regiment  was  sent  to  join 
the  army  near  New  York.  Upon  the  capture  of  Col.  Miles  at 
the  battle  of  Long  Island,  the  command  of  the  remainder  of 
the  battalion  devolved  on  Col.  Brodhead,  who  was,  in  fact, 
after  the  battle,  in  command  of  the  whole  Pennsylvania  con- 
tingent, being  the  senior  officer,  remaining  with  the  army. 
Shortly  after,  he  seems  to  have  gone  home  on  sick  leave,  and, 
when  he  rejoined  the  army,  it  was  as  colonel  of  the  Eighth 
regiment.  The  history  of  Col.  Brodhead  during  his  connec- 
tion with  the  regiment  has  been  given.  He  made  some  im- 
portant treaties  with  the  Indians,  but  the  honor  of  pushing 
west  into  the  Indian  country  was,  greatly  to  his  chagrin, 
devolved  upon  Col.  Clark,  a  Virginia  officer.  The  war  was  now 
virtually  ended,  and  Brodhead  was  not  again  assigned  to  com- 
mand. In  the  reorganization  of  the  army,  early  in  1781,  he 
was  made  colonel  of  the  First  regiment,  his  commission  dat- 
ing September  29,  1776,  and  he  seems,  at  a  later  date,  to  have 


EIGHTH  PENNSYLVANIA.  311 

been  appointed  a  brigadier  general.  He  served  afterwards  in 
the  General  Assembly,  and,  in  1789,  was  appointed  Surveyor 
General  of  the  State.  He  held  this  office  eleven  years,  and 
died  at  Milford,  Pike  county,  November  15,  1809.  He  was  twice 
married.  His  first  wife  was  Elizabeth  Depui,  by  whom  he 
had  two  children,  Daniel  and  Ann  Garton;  and  his  second 
was  Rebecca,  widow  of  Gen.  Thomas  Mifflin,  by  whom  he 
had  no  children. 

Lt.  Col.  George  Wilson  was  a  Virginian,  from  Augusta 
county;  had  been  an  officer  in  the  French  and  Indian  war,  of 
1755-64;  settled  where  New  Geneva,  Fayette  county,  now  is, 
in  1768-9,  owning  the  land  on  the  river,  on  both  sides  of 
George's  creek;  Pennsylvania  had  no  more  resolute  officer  than 
he  was,  in  all  our  boundary  troubles.  He  died  in  service,  at 
Quibbletown,  New  Jersey,  February,  1777. — Hon.  James  Veech. 

Lit.  Col.  Stephen  Bayard,  was  born  in  Maryland  in  1748,  be- 
longed to  a  Huguenot  family  from  Languedoc.  He  was  brought 
up  by  his  uncle.  Col.  John  Bayard,  of  Philadelphia.  He  settled 
after  the  war  in  Pittsburgh,  going  into  partnership  with  Major 
Isaac  Craig.  He  retired  from  business  in  1788,  and  settled  on 
his  lands  on  the  Monongahela,  fourteen  miles  above  Pittsburgh, 
and  laid  out  a  town  which  he  called  Elizabeth,  for  his  wife,  who 
was  a  daughter  of  Col.  Aeneas  Mackey,  who  had  been  an  officer 
of  the  British  army,  and  in  1754,  in  command  of  an  independent 
company  of  King's  soldiers  from  South  Carolina,  accompanied 
Washington  on  his  first  expedition,  and  who  afterwards  became 
one  of  the  King's  justices  for  Westmoreland  county.  [Col.  M's 
widow  Mary,  was  a  Pennsylvania  pensioner,  and  resided  in 
Westmoreland  county  in  1784. — Editors.]  Col.  Bayard  desired 
to  make  "Elizabeth"  a  point  for  boat  and  ship  building,  and 
for  that  purpose  brought  out  from  Philadelphia,  a  company 
of  skilled  ship-builders,  who  built  the  first  vessel  launched  on 
the  waters  of  the  Monongahela.  In  1812,  he  was  tendered  a 
major  general's  commission  in  the  army,  but  his  bodily  infirmi- 
ties demanded  that  he  should  decline  its  acceptance.  He  died 
at  Pittsburgh,  December  13,  1815,  aged  sixty-seven,  and  was 
buried  in  the  grave-yard  of  the  First  Presbyterian  church. 
With  regard  to  Capt.  Peterson  [Gabriel],  I  knew  him  well.  He 
lived  about  two  miles  above  Elizabeth,  on  the  opposite  side  of 
the  river.  I  saw  but  little  of  him  after  I  moved  to  Pittsburgh, 
in  1815.  He  called  upon  me,  and  spent  a  day  at  my  house  in 
1825.  He  was  then  aged  and  infirm,  and  I  am  under  the  im- 
pression he  died  a  short  time  afterwards,  and  was  buried  at 
or  near  Elizabeth." — Manuscript  letter  of  John  B.  Bayard  (sop

of  Col.  Stephen  Bayard)  to  Isaac  Craig,  Esq.,  dated  November 
13,  1876. 

In  a  deposition  of  Lieut.  Gabriel  Peterson,  he  says:  "I  was 
near  Col.  Bayard  at  the  battle  of  Brandywine,  when  he  was 
struck  down  by  a  cannon  ball,  that  broke  a  rifle  gun  of  Sergt. 
Wyatt  and  his  shoulder,  and  then  struck  Col.  Bayard  on  the 
head  and  shoulder,  and  tumbled  him  over  on  the  ground  for 
near  two  rods.  Deponent  helped  him  up  on  his  feet — he  was 
frantic,  and  seemed  much  hurt,  but  being  much  engaged  at 
that  time  deponent  could  not  render  him  any  assistance." 

In  an  application  of  John  Holton,  a  private  in  this  regiment, 
he  says:  He,  Holton,  was  in  the  battles  of  Ash  Swamp  and 
Bound  Brook,  and  that  he  was  wounded  in  the  thigh  at  Brandy- 
wine,  and  with  a  bayonet  at  Paoli,  and  that  they  were  engaged 
at  Germantown.  Robert  Hunter,  of  Finley's  company,  states 
that  he  was  wounded  at  Bound  Brook,  and  also  at  Paoli. 

Van  Swearingen  was  probably  the  most  noted  captain  in  the 
Eighth  Penn'a.  On  the  19th  of  September,  he  and  a  lieutenant, 
and  twenty  privates  were  captured  in  a  sudden  dash  that  scat- 
tered Morgan's  men.  He  fell  into  the  hands  of  the  Indians, 
but  was  rescued  by  Gen.  Eraser's  bat  man  (one  who  takes  care 
of  his  officer's  horse),  who  took  him  before  the  General.  The 
latter  interrogated  him  concerning  the  number  of  the  American 
army,  but  got  no  answer,  except  that  it  was  commanded  by 
Gens.  Gates  and  Arnold.  He  then  threatened  to  hang  him. 
"You  may,  if  you  please,"  said  Van  Swearingen.  Eraser  then 
rode  off,  leaving  him  in  care  of  Sergt.  Dunbar,  who  consigned 
him  to  Lt.  Auburey,  who  ordered  him  to  be  placed  among  the 
other  prisoners,  with  directions  not  to  be  ill  treated.  Swear- 
ingen, after  Burgoyne's  army  was  removed  to  Virginia,  made

NINTH  PENNSYLVANIA  REGIMENT,     (a.) 


From  the  only  return  thus  far  discovered  of  the  Ninth 
Pennsylvania  regiment,  dated  July  17,  1777,  and  signed  by 
Col.  George  Nagel,  we  take  the  following  data:  There  were 
then  present,  lieutenant  colonel,  major,  eight  captains,  fourteen 
lieutenants,  adjutant,  paymaster,  quarter-master  and  surgeon, 
twenty-three  sergeants,  twelve  drums  and  fifes,  two  hundred 
and  nine  privates  present,  fit  for  duty;  on  detachment  at  Mor- 
ristown,  ten;  sick,  in  hospital  at  Blackwater,  ten;  Chatham, 
six;  Philadelphia,  four;  sick,  in  camp,  fourteen;  recruiting, 
five;  on  furlough,  six;  prisoners,  three;  on  command,  two; 
deaths,  twenty-six;  discharged,  ten;  deserted,  eighty-four; 
to  the  enemy,  eight;  missing,  seven;  prisoner,  one. 

Under  the  command  of  Col.  Richard  Butler,  this  regiment 
took  a  prominent  share  in  the  capture  of  Stony  Point.*  Lieut. 
George  Knox  led  the  forlorn  hope  (consisting  of  twenty  men) 
of  the  right  column  in  the  assault,  and  was  the  second  man  in- 
side of  the  works,  for  which  he  received  four  hundred  dollars; 
this  he  directed  to  be  distributed  among  his  men;  for  his  gal- 
lantry he  was  breveted  captain,  by  resolution  of  Congress. 
Gen.  Wayne,  in  a  letter  to  President  Reed,  of  26th  July,  says: 
"Gibbon,  of  Sixth,  and  Knox,  of  Ninth,  two  young  gentlemen, 
led  the  van  of  each  column.  Gibbon  lost  seventeen  men. 
Killed  in  Butler's  regiment,  one  sergeant  and  two  privates; 
wounded,  Lieut.  Col.  Hay,  of  Tenth,  two  sergeants,  two  cor- 
porals, and  twenty-five  privates."  St.  Clair  to  Reed,  in  a 
letter  dated  July  25,  1779,  says,  "my  friend.  Col.  Butler,  com- 
manded one  of  the  attacks,  and  distinguished  himself." 

After  the  Revolt  in  the  Penn'a  Line  in  1781,  the  Ninth  Penn- 
sylvania was  pretty  generally  re-enlisted  under  their  old  colo- 
nel and  his  captains  in  the  Fifth  Penn'a,  their  depreciation 
being  settled  at  Reading,  between  the  23d  and  27th  of  March, 
1781. 

•This  noted  capture  took  place  July  16,  1779.

OFFICERS  TRANSFERRED  FROM  OTHER  REGIMENTS  TO 
THIS  IN  THE  NEW  ARRANGEMENT,     (a.) 


Captains. 
John  Pearson,  Eleventh  Pennsylvania  regiment. 
William   Mackey,   Eleventh   Pennsylvania   regiment;    prisoner 
of  war  on  parole. 
[Endorsed]   A  List  of  all  Officers  who  have  served  in  the 
Ninth  Pennsylvania  Regiment  since  January  1,  1777,  with  the 
dates  of  their  Commissions,  Occurrences,  Claims  of  Rank,  etc. 


[On  back  of  Return  of  Officers  of  the  Ninth  Pennsylvania 
Regiment,  referred  to  therein.] 

Captain  Joseph  McClellan  and  Captain  Thomas  Bartholomew 
Bowen  of  the  Ninth  Pennsylvania  Regiment  found  their  claim 
of  Rank  as  Mentioned  in  the  Within  List,  on  the  following 
Pretentions: 

Early  in  1776,  Three  Battalions  of  regular  Troops  Under  the 
command  of  Colonel  Miles,  were  raised  for  two  years  by  the 
State  of  Pennsylvania,  and  were  enter'd  into  the  Continental 
Service,  under  the  Denomination  of  State  Troops.  In  these 
the  Claimants  receiv'd  Commissions. 


400 


CONTINENTAL  LINE. 


Mr.  McClellan  receiv'd  a  Captaincy  on  the  15th  of  July,  and 
Mr.  Bowen  as  the  Eldest  Subaltern,  should  have  succeeded  to 
a  Company  vice  Captain  Peebles,  who  died  in  Captivity  the  2d 
September,  1776,  of  the  Wounds  he  receiv'd  in  the  Battle  of 
Long  Island. 

The  Executive  Power  of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania  having 
thought  proper  to  reduce  the  three  Battalions  to  one,  left  it  to 
the  choice  of  the  Officers,  whether  they  would  continue  in  the 
State  Service  or  accept  Commissions  in  the  Continental  Regi- 
ments on  the  (then)  New  Establishment;  and  these  Claimants, 
with  other  of  the  Senior  Officers  were  (agreeable  to  their 
Choice)  transferr'd. — Several  Junior  Officers  were  made  Cap- 
tains in  that  Regiment,  and  now  ^^ke  Rank  of  Captains  Bowen 
and  McClellan,  by  having  Commissions  of  earlier  dates;  that 
Regiment  having  been  made  Continental,  and  the  Officers  re- 
ceiv'd Commissions  from  Congress  of  the  dates  of  their  first 
Appointments  in  the  Service  of  the  State.  These  Claims  were 
allowed  by  a  Court  of  Inquiry,  of  which  Lieutenant  Colonel 
Bure  was  President,  in  January  last,  and  the  proceedings  de- 
liver'd  to  Major  General  Lord  Sterling — A  Copy  of  which  (it  is 
said)  was  transmitted  to  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  War.

TENTH  PENNSYLVANIA  REGIMENT,     (a.) 


The  Tenth  Pennsylvania  regiment  was  raised  also  agreeably 
to  a  resolution  of  Congress,  of  September  16,  1776.  By  an  un- 
published memorandum  of  the  Council  of  Safety,  it  appears 
that  the  captain  and  other  subaltern  officers  of  the  Tenth 
Pennsylvania  were  appointed  upon  the  4th  of  December,  1776, 
except  Capt.  Shade,  whose  appointment  is  dated  on  the  fifth  of 
the  month.  Their  rank  was  to  be  governed  by  the  dates  of 
their  commissions  in  the  battalion  or  one  year  service,  or  at 
least  that  was  the  ordinary  rule  or  assumed  to  be  by  the  offi- 
cers themselves  as  regulating  their  rank.  Promotion  and  ap- 
pointment out  of  this  order,  affected  the  Tenth,  perhaps,  to  a 
greater  degree  than  other  regiments;  and  it  owed  its  perma- 
nent organization  and  efficiency  to  the  business  qualifica- 
tions and  soldierly  abality  of  its  lieutenant  colonel,  Adam 
Hubley. 

As  early  as  January  23,  1777  (Penn'a  Archives,  2d  series,  vol. 
i,  page  694),  Lieut.  Col.  Dunlap  resigned  on  account  of  an 
alleged  preference  over  him.  This  was  followed  by  Col.  Pen- 
rose's resignation,  March  7  (ibid.  711),  and  remonstrances  of 
the  subalterns  (ibid,  page  717),  and  in  a  manuscript  letter  dated 
March  14,  1777,  Capt.  Henry  Shade  protests  against  the  appoint- 
ment of  Caleb  North  to  be  majof  of  the  Tenth. 

From  a  return,  dated  "camp  at  Morristown,  July  8,  1777," 
which  is  a  summary  of  the  state  of  tne  regiment  from  the  2d 
of  December,  1776,  to  the  first  of  June,  1777,  signed  by  Lieut. 
Col.  Adam  Hubley,  there  were  present  nineteen  commissioned 
and  staff  officers,  twenty-seven  sergeants,  and  twelve  drums 
and  fifes;  of  privates,  one  hundred  and  thirty-nine  present,  fit 
for  duty;  eleven  sick,  present,  twenty-eight  sick,  absent,  total 
enlisted,  three  hundred  and  eighty-six;  total  joined,  three  hun- 
dred and  seventy-seven;  total  mustered,  three  hundred  and 
thirty-one;  total  brought  into  the  field,  two  hundred  and  thirty- 
three;  taken  by  the  enemy,  twenty-two;  taken  by  prior  enlist- 
ment, thirty-seven.  Officers  recruiting:  Captains  Long,  Shade, 
Calhoun,  Sample,  and  Cox;  Lieutenants  Schrack,  Stake,  and 
Steel;  Second  Lieutenants  Patton,  Drummond,  and  Skinner;

the  Eleventh  Pennsylvania  was  incorporated  with  the  Tenth, 
and  Col.  Humpton  directed  to  take  command  in  the  room  of

September  13,  1778,"  it  appears: 

"The  following  officers  were  left  out  of  the  10th  Penn'a  in 
consequence  of  the  new  arrangement,  and  considered  as  super- 
numeraries: George  Nagel,  colonel;  William  Cox,  David 
Schrack,  captains;  William  Knox  and  Robert  Hooper,  ist 
lieutenants;  John  Cole,  Adam  Keller,  Daniel  Dennis,  and  Jacob 
Tolbert,  2nd  lieutenants.  N.  B. — Captain  Cox,  before  the  new 
arrangement  took  place,  resigned  his  commission  verbally  to 
Col.  Nagel,  but  since  considered  himself  one  of  the  supernu- 
meraries, in  order  to  have  the  emoluments  that  may  be 
allowed  such  officers.

THE  NEW  ELEVENTH  PENNSYLVANIA,     (a). 


The  resolutions  of  Congress  organizing  this  regiment  are 
fully  referred  to  in  the  note  to  Col.  Hartley's  ante;  and  it  was 
considered  proper  to  publish,  in  connection  with  this,  what 
little  material  remains  of  the  independent  companies.  Mal- 
colm's and  Spencer's  regiments  were  of  the  sixteen  additional 
regiments,  and  included  companies  raised  either  in  »^nrt  or 
whole  in  Pennsylvania. 

A  return  of  the  state  of  the  regiment,  made  June  25,  1779, 
at  Sunbury,  by  Col.  Hubley,  gives  the  following  data:  "Pres- 
ent, lieutenant  colonel,  major,  four  captains,  one  captain  lieu- 
tenant, eight  lieutenants,  three  ensigns,  paymaster,  adjutant, 
quartermaster,  surgeon  and  mate,  sergeant  major,  quarter 
master  sergeant,  drum  major,  fife  major,  twenty  two  sergeants, 
eight  drummers  and  eight  fifers.

"Absent  officers:  Capt.  Kearsley,  w*th  Col.  Spencer's  regi- 
ment; Capt.  Carbery,  doing  duty  with  light  horse;  Capt.  For- 
ester, in  Maryland,  on  furlough,  since  February  1,  1779;  Capt. 
Bush,  in  Philadelphia,  on  command  since  June  12. 

"N.  B. — The  independent  companies,  in  Col.  Spencer's  regi- 
ment, have  not  yet  joined,  the  whole  amount  to  about  seventy- 
five  men." 

The  following  correspondence  and  memoranda,  together  with 
Lieut.  Col.  Hubley's  journal,  and  such  of  his  letters  as  have 
been  heretofore  published  in  Penn'a  Archives,  O.  S.,  vol.  vii, 
make  up  the  record  of  this  regiment  so  far  as  it  has  been  pre- 
served.    Lieut.  Col.  Hubley's  order  boak,  recently  discovered 


632  CONTINENTAL  LINE. 

and  placed  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth, 
has  added  much  to  the  larger  portion  of  what  follows.  A  few 
letters  of  Col.  Hartley,  from  the  Hand  Papers,  are  prefatory. 


Col.  Hartley  to  Gen.  Hand. 

York,  May  10,  1779. 

«'*  *  *  The  following  Persons  are  brave  Soldiers  and  good 
Woodsmen:  Captain  Hawkins  Boone,  Lieut.  Robt.  King  & 
Wm.  Simms,  and  they  have  good  Knowledge  of  the  Country 
to  Tioga. 

"If  Col.  James  Murray  will  go  with  you,  he  will  be  very  use- 
ful. He  is  well  acquainted  with  Indian  affairs,  and  has  a  good 
Idea  of  the  Indian  Country.  More  persons  you  will  hear  of 
at  Sunbury. 

"You  should  engage  Captains  Ferguson,  J.  Camplin,  &  Lieut. 
"William  Campbell.  They  are  excellent  woodsmen — the  latter 
you  should  have  near  your  person.  Colonel  Hunter  can  tell 
you  where  you  may  find  them. 

"As  Guides  (besides  those  which  you  will  be  able  to  hear 
of  yourself),  you  should  take  one  Fox,  &  one  Rummerfield, 
of  Sunbury.  Colonel  Zeb.  Butler,  and  Capt.  Spalding,  of 
Wyoming,  can  inform  you  of  others." 


Col.  Hartley  to  Gen.  Hand. 

"York,  June  3d,  1779. 

" — Fletcher,  a  private  in  Col.  Hartley's  regt. 

" — Ippie,  "  "  "  (a  Dutch  Lad.) 

"In  addition  to  the  Persons  who  I  have  mentioned  before, 
I  must  mention  a  Robert  Crownover  to  you — he  lives  at  Muncy 
■ — he  is  well  acquainted  with  the  country  to  Tioga,  &  is  an 
intelligent,  sensible  young  man  and  a  soldier. 

"You  will  find  the  Back  Woodsmen  upon  some  occasions 
very  cautious.  Perhaps  it  may  be  proper  often,  but  some 
Times  it  may  be  necessary  to  make  bold  pushes.  I  would 
tell  you  several  good  officers,  their  own  good  Behavior  will 
doubtless  recommend  many  of  them  to  you.  Nevertheless, 
I  shall  mention  a  Mr.  Houston  to  you;  he  is  adjutant  of  my 
Regiment.    He  was  Sergt.  Major  of  Grenadiers  in  the  British 


NEW  ELEVENTH  PENNSYLVANIA.  632 

Army — he  had  a  Brother,  an  officer  in  our  army,  and  came 
and  joined  us.  He  is  the  best  adjutant  I  have  seen— he  is 
very  bold  and  enterprizing — as  soon  as  you  begin  your  march, 
I  recommend  him  particularly  to  you.  If  General  Sullivan 
commands,  you  will  please  to  mention  Houston  to  him." 


Col.  Hartley  to  Gen.  Hand, 

"York,  June  3d,  1779. 

"Sir:  As  I  understand,  you  have  no  Horse  sent  you  from 
the  main  army,  I  would  give  it  as  my  v/eak  opinion,  that 
you  should  at  least  preserve  the  numbei  which  Captain  Car- 
bery  took  up.  If  one  Corps  should  think  it  hard  they  should 
furnish  the  whole  of  the  men;  they  ought  to  be  pick't  from 
the  whole  Troops  of  the  Command,  and  you  will  find  no  officer 
more  lit  to  command  them  than  Mr.  Carbery." 


"1779,  13th  June,  James  Crawford,  of  Northumberland,  for- 
mer major  of  the  Twelfth  Pennsylvania  regiment,  offers  his 
services  to  Gen.  Hand." 


Lieut.  Col.  Hubley  to  Gen.  Washington. 

"Camp  Millstone,  May  19,  1779. 

"Sir:  By  the  resignation  of  Col.  Hartley,  of  the  11th  Penn'a 
Regt.,  I,  as  eldest  Lt.  Col.  of  the  Line,  considered  myself 
entitled  to  the  same,  and  accordingly  wrote  to  the  Honl.  the 
Executive  Council  of  the  State  of  Penn'a,  requesting  they 
would  recommend  me  to  the  Board  of  War,  and  procure  the 
appointment  to  which  I  was  entitled. 

"The  Council,  in  consequence  of  a  certificate,  signed  by  Genl. 
St.  Clair,  as  commanding  officer  of  the  Penn'a  Line,  certifying 
my  pretentions,  Resolved  that  I  should  be  recommended,  and 
accordingly  did  recommend  me  as  being  entitled  to  the  com- 
mand of  said  Regiment.  Previous  to  this  Resolve,  His  Excel- 
lency, the  President  of  Pennsylvania,  informed  Col.  Connor 
(present  Lt.  Colo,  of  the  Regiment)  of  my  claim,  and  requested 
to  know  whether  he  had  any  claim  prior  to  mine.    Colo.  Con- 


634  CONTINENTAL  LINEJ. 

nor  informed  his  Excellency  he  had  not,  and  insinuated  that 
he  had  no  objections  to  my  being  promoted. 

"The  Resolve  being  accordingly  handed  to  the  Board  of 
War — not  doubting  but  a  commission  would  be  granted — on 
the  delivery  thereof,  the  Board  objected  to  the  granting  of  the 
Commission,  and  informed  me  that  Col.  Connor  claimed  rank 
of  me.  I  informed  them  of  what  had  passed  between  the 
President  and  Colo.  Connor,  and  believed  that  matter  was 
fully  settled,  but  requested  before  they  issued  the  commission, 
they  would  send  to  Col.  Connor  for  further  information  in 
the  matter.  This  they  did,  and  received  a  letter  wrote  by 
your  Excellency  to  Col.  Connor,  in  which  it  appeared  he 
claimed  rank  of  me.  The  Board  accordingly  concluded  not 
to  interfere  in  the  matter  until  they  had  heard  from  your 
Excellency  on  the  subject. 

"I  am  a  total  stranger  to  Col.  Connor's  pretensions  of  claim- 
ing rank  of  me,  unless  it  is  because  he  went  out  as  Lieut, 
of  the  1st  Penn'a  Regiment,  and  considers  himself  an  elder 
officer  on  that  account.  If  that  be  his  claim,  he  might,  with 
the  same  propriety,  claim  rank  of  Gen.  St.  Clair  and  every 
colonel  in  the  line. 

"All  that  I  shall  say  on  my  part  is,  that  I  was  appointed 
(being  then  out  of  the  army  and  in  a  private  station),  a  major 
to  one  of  the  additional  regiments  raised  in  1776,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  filling  up  the  quota  ordered  to  be  raised  in  the  State 
of  Pennsylvania,  and  in  regular  course,  promoted  to  the  rank 
of  lieutenant  colonel  (my  commission  bearing  date  as  such 
October  4,  1776).  I  served  in  the  same  brigade  with  Col.  Con- 
nor for  a  considerable  time;  he  ever  submitted  to  my  rank, 
and  never  intimated  he  thought  himself  injured  by  my  rank. 

"Several  gentlemen  in  the  line  claimed  rank  of  me  upon 
the  same  principles.  As  well  a  Board  of  General  Officers,  (met 
at  the  Cross-roads  in  Pennsylvania  for  the  purpose  of  settling 
the  rank  of  the  Pennsylvania  Line),  as  the  Board  of  Arrange- 
ment convened  for  the  same  purpose  at  White  Plains,  deter- 
mined in  my  favor. 

"I  beg  your  Excellency  will  look  into  this  matter  and  take 
such  steps  for  the  settlement  of  the  same  as  you  shall  think 
proper. 

"I  am,  with  the  greatest  respect,  your  Excellency's, 
"Most  obedient  servant, 

"A.  HUBLEY,  Lt.  Col. 
"His  Excellency  Gen.  Washington." 


NEW  ELEVENTH  PENNSYLVANIA.  635 

Lieut.  Col.  Hubley  to  the  Board  of  General  Officers. 

"Camp  Millstone,  May  26,  1779. 

"Gentlemen:  Having  acquired  some  knowledge  of  Colo. 
Connor's  pretentions  since  my  writing  tO'  his  Excellency  on 
that  subject,  I  beg  leave  to  make  some  few  observations  there- 
upon. 

"Colo.  Connor,  I  think,  in  his  claims,  observes  that  he  ought 
to  have  been  appointed  commandant  of  the  11th  Regt.  previous 
to  its  being  taken  into  the  Penn'a  line — upon  what  principles 
he  founds  this  claim,  I  am  a  stranger  to.  He  certainly  must 
be  totally  unacquainted  with  the  time  of  Col.  Hartley's  resig- 
nation. Had  he  resigned  his  commission,  previous  to  the  Regi- 
ment being  taken  into  the  line,  there  might  have  been  some 
show  of  propriety  in  it;  but  this  not  being  the  case  (Colo. 
Hartley's  resignation  being  some  considerable  time  after  the 
Regt.  being  taken  in  the  line),  I  cannot  think  his  preten- 
sions upon  these  principles  can  have  any  weight. 

"With  respect  to  his  being  a  Senior  officer  in  the  same  line, 
formerly  with  me,  I  beg  leave  to  contradict.  It's  well  known 
the  Regiment  he  alludes  to,  formerly  commanded  by  Col. 
Thompson,  was  not  considered  a  Pennsylvania  Regiment,  nor 
was  it  taken  into  the  line  as  one  until  Some  time  in  1776. 
The  Regiment  to  which  I  was  appointed  being  raised  in  1775, 
and  then  called  the  first  Penna.  Regt.* 

"Col.  Connor  further  says  that  some  time  in  1776,  he  was 
ordered  on  Command  to  the  Southward,  as  Brigade  Major 
to  Genl.  Armstrong,  and  held  the  rank  of  major,  .tud  after 
his  return  from  the  Southward  he  was  appointed  a  Lt.  Col. 
in  Col.  Hartley's  regiment.  In  order  to  throw  proper  light 
upon  this  matter,  as  Colo.  Connor  has  been  by  no  means 
explicit,  I  beg  leave  to  add,  that  before  his  arrival  in  Phila- 
delphia from  the  Southward,  he  stood,  through  the  interest 
of  his  friends,  a  candidate  for  the  Majority  in  the  Regiment 
to  which  I  was  appointed;  that  agreeable  to  the  mode  of 
appointing  officers,  we  were  voted  for,  when  I  was  almost 
unanimously  chosen  Major  to  the  10  P.  Regt.  and  in  regular 
turn  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Lieut.  Col.  in  Col.  Hartley's 
regiment,  being  some  considerable  time  after  my  promotion. 

"He  has  never  taken  notice  that  in  his  leaving  the  Regi- 
ment and  going  to  the  Southward,  it  was  considered  as  giving 
up  his  commission  in  the  same,  and,  in  consequence  thereof, 

•Quere?    First  Penn'a  battalion,  Col.  de  Hass. 


636  CONTINENTAL  LINE. 

another  officer  appointed  to  fill  up  his  vacancy.  And  further, 
he  does  not  tell  you  that  he  was  appointed  a  Lieut.  Colo,  in 
Colo.  Hartley's  regiment,  in  room  of  Lt.  Col.  Wilkinson  who 
resigned,  but  says  he  was  appointed  a  Lieut.  Colo,  to  one 
of  the  additional  regiments,  which  implies  as  if  he  was  ap- 
pointed at  the  original  constitution  of  the  Regts. 

"As  much  has  already  been  said  in  this  matter,  I  shall  con- 
clude with  my  pretentions  of  rank  I  now  hold  in  the  line  of 
Penn'a.  I  totally  claim  ray  rank  as  an  appointment  (and  not 
as  a  promotion,  being  then  out  of  the  army  as  an  officer,  and 
in  a  private  station  for  some  considerable  time  and  served  as 
a  volunteer.)  When  I  received  my  commission  as  Major,  I 
considered  I  had  received  it  from  a  body,  who  were  vested 
with  power  to  appoint  and  arrange  the  officers;  so  have  two 
distinct  Boards  since  considered  it,  and  determined  in  my 
favor. 

"I  beg  leave  for  further  particulars  respecting  my  rank,  to 
refer  you  to  the  letter  from  me  to  his  Excellency  (which  no 
doubt  will  be  laid  before  you)  on  the  subject. 

"I  am  with  the  greatest  respect,  Gentlemen, 

"Your  most  ob't  Humble  Servant, 
"A.    HUBLEY,    JR.,    Lt.    Col. 

"To  the  Hon.  the  Board  of  General  Officers,  now  sitting  for  the 
purpose  of  settling  Rank": 

"The  Hon.  the  Board  will  observe  that  I  don't  mean  to 
claim  rank  from  my  first  entering,  but  that  what  has  been 
said  with  respect  to  my  first  appointment,  is  to  answer  Colo. 
Connor's  observations  thereupon. 


"Philad'a,  June  8,  1779. 

"In  consequence  of  the  resignation  of  Colo.  Thomas  Hartley 
(I  being  the  Senior  Lt.  Colo,  in  the  Penn'a  Line),  I  was  this 
day  commissioned  Lt.  Colo.  Commandant  of  said  Regiment, 
*o  rank  from  the  13th  day  of  February,  1779. 

"ADM.    HUBLEY,   JR., 
"Colo.  Comt.  11th  Pa.  Reg't." 

Col.  Hubley  writes  to  Gen.  Hand  from  Sunbury,  under  date 
of  June  15: 

"This  day  arrived,  and  took  command  of  the  following  forts: 
Muncy,  Jenkins,  &c.,  and  this  place." 


NEW  ELEVENTH  PENNSYLVANIA.  637 

Col.  Hubley  writes  to  Gen.  Hand  from  Sunbury,  June  17: 
"A  Board  of  General  Oflacers  to  determine  the  dispute  of 
rank  between  Major  Prowell  and  the  Captains  of  the  Penn'a 
line  determined  in  favor  of  the  latter,  in  consequence  of  which 
he  will  be  removed  from  the  rank  he  now  holds,  and  a  Senior 
Captain  take  his  place.  *  *  i  am  extremely  sorry  for  the 
loss  of  Major  Prowell;  he  is  a  worthy,  good  officer." 


Lieut.  Col.  Adam  Hubley  to  Gen.  Hand. 

"Sunbury,  June  22nd,  1779. 

"Dear  General:  Your  favour  of  the  19th  came  safe  to  hand 
last  evening.  I'm  extremely  happy  to  find  I  shall  be  under 
your  command  this  campaign.  I  have  communicated  this 
agreeable  piece  of  news  to  a  number  of  my  officers,  who  equally 
express  their  happiness  on  the  occasion,  and  what  adds  to 
the  happiness  is,  that  your  corps  is  to  be  a  select  one,  to  act 
as  Light  Infantry. 

"Agreeably  to  your  orders,  I  have  given  directions  for  the 
Regiment  to  be  in  readiness  at  a  moment's  warning. 

"Genl.  Sullivan,  il  seems,  is  to  determine  on  the  continu- 
ance of  the  Dragoons  in  my  Regiment.  I  must  beg  you  will 
use  your  infiuence  with  him  to  have  them  dismounted,  unless 
they  can  be  annex'd  and  do  duty  with  us. 

"A  few  days  since  Capt.  Kearsley,  late  of  my  regiment, 
arrived  at  this  post  with  intent  again  to  take  command  of 
his  compy.  It  appears,  by  the  inclosed  letters  (the  original 
of  which  is  in  my  hand),  that  he  had  absolutely  resigned  his 
commission  and  left  the  army;  upon  what  principle  he  claims 
the  company,  I  know  not.  I  cannot  think  of  giving  him  any 
command  in  my  regiment,  unless  the  matter  is  properly  set- 
tled. The  officers  are  determined  not  to  submit  to  his  taking 
command.  I  dread  the  consequences,  unless  something  is  done 
speedily.  Capt.  Kearsley  leaves  this  to-morrow  for  Wyoming. 
I  beg  you  will  state  to  him  this  matter,  and  the  consequences 
that  must  attend  it  should  he  persist  in  claiming  rank  in 
the  regiment. 

"We  shall  be  able  to  load  the  greatest  part  of  the  boats  at 
this  place.  I  expect  they  will  be  at  Fort  Jenkins  about  the 
25th,  at  which  place  the  officer  commanding  them  will  wait 
your  further  orders. 

"The  remainder  are  on  their  way  to  Cox's  town;  those,  with 


638  CONTINENTAL  LINE. 

what  new  ones  may  be  finished,  will  be  sufficient  to  bring  up 
what  stores  are  at  present  there.  Every  step  is  taken  to  expe- 
dite the  forwarding  of  the  stores,  &c. 

"I  anxiously  look  forward  for  the  moment  when  I  shall  have 
the  pleasure  of  seeing  you. 

"And  am  sincerely,  your  most 

Obedient  humble  servant,

TWELFTH  PENNSYLVANIA  REGIMENT,   (a.) 


Congress,  by  resolution,  authorized  this  regiment  to  be 
raised  in  the  counties  of  Northampton  and  Northumberland 
and  among  the  last  acts  of  the  Convention,  to  form  a  State 
Constitution,  September  28,  1776,  was  a  choice  of  its  field 
officers,  from  its  members;  William  Cook,  delegate  from  North- 
umberland, colonel;  Neigal  Gray,  delegate  from  Northampton 
county;  lieutenant  colonel,  and  James  Crawford,  delegate  from 
Northumberland  county,  major.  Peter  Withington  was  the 
first  captain  appointed  by  the  Council  of  Safety,  October  1; 
by  a  minute  of  the  Council  of  October  4,  Col.  Cooke,  Major 
Crawford,  and  Capt.  Withington  took  the  qualification  directed 
by  the  Convention,  and  commissions  were  delivered  them, 
signed  by  the  President  of  Congress;  and  on  the  same  day, 
by  resolution  of  yie  Council,  Nicholas  Miller  and  Hawkins 
Boone  were  appointed  captains,  Thomas  Brandon  and  Hanna- 
niah  Lincoln  first  lieutenants;  Robert  King  and  James  Wil- 
liamson, second  lieutenants.  On  the  fourteenth,  the  Council 
resolved  that  the  commissions  of  all  the  captains  and  sub- 
alterns of  the  Twelfth  shall  be  dated  October  1,  1776,  and  their 
rank  hereafter  settled.  On  the  same  day,  John  Brady  and 
Major  John  Harris,  both  of  Northumberland  county,  were 
appointed  captains,  and  Christopher  Gettig,  first  lieutenant, 
Francis  Allison,  surgeon.  The  rest  of  the  original  captains, 
with  other  subalterns,  were  appointed  on  the  16th  of  October.— 
(Col.  Records,  vol.  10,  page  756.) 

The  greater  portion  of  the  regiment  was  recruited  upon  the 
West  Branch  of  the  Susquehanna,  and  on  the  18th  of  Decem- 
ber, it  left  Sunbury,  in  boats,  for  the  battle-fields  of  New 
Jersey.  Being  composed  of  good  riflemen  and  scouts,  it  was 
detailed  on  picket  and  skirmish  duty.  It  (with  the  Third, 
Ninth,  and  Sixth  Pennsylvania)  was  in  Brig.  Gen.  Thomas 
Conway's  brigade.  Its  headquarters  were  at  the  five  cross 
roads  at  Metuchin,  between  Quibbletown  and  Amboy.  Its 
companies  wre  engaged  in  the  various  skirmishes  in  that 
neighborhood;  ata  Bound  Brook,  April  12,  1777,  Piscataway, 
May  10,  where  Joseph  Lorenz  and  twentj^-one  others  were  made 
prisoners  by  the  1  rltish,  Wendell  Lorentz  making  his  escape 
by  running  in  among  a  flock  of  sheep;  at  Short  Hills,  June  26, 
and  Bonhamtown.     In  June,  Col.  Daniel  Morgan's  rifle  com-

mand  was  formed,  and  a  detachment  from  the  Twelfth  Penn- 
sylvania, under  the  command  of  Capt.  Hawkins  Boone,  was 
placed  in  it.  For  a  notice  of  this  command,  see  Historical 
note  to  the  First  Pennsylvania.  In  the  battle  of  Brandywine, 
the  Twelfth  was  engaged  under  Sullivan  at  Birmingham 
church,  losing  heavily.  Major  Crawford,  Capt.  Brady,  and 
other  officers  were  wounded,  Lieut.  William  Boyd,  of  Brady's 
company  killed.  At  Germantown,  Conway's  brigade  led  the 
attack  on  the  left  wing  of  the  British,  being  in  front  of  the 
troops  that  composed  the  right  wing  of  the  American  army, 
and  the  Twelfth  was  in  the  hottest  of  the  fight,  losing  heavily 
in  men,  second  lieutenant  John  Carothers  of  the  officers  killed. 
The  Twelfth  wintered  with  the  rest  of  the  army  at  Valley 
Forge,  and  at  Monmouth  the  remnant  of  it  was  nearly 
destroyed,  as  testified  to  in  many  of  the  statements  made  by 
the  privates,  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Com- 
monwealth. Meanwhile,  April  2,  1778,  the  General  A  i  em- 
bly  had  appointed  a  committee  to  confer  upon  the  best  feans 
of  reducing  three  of  the  regiments,  and  it  was  ordere  '.  that 
the  Twelfth  be  incorporated  with  the  Third,  which  ai  •  nge- 
ment  went  into  effect  on  the  1st  of  July,  and  Capts.  John 
Brady  and  Boone,  Lieuts.  Dougherty  and  Robert  Kins:  were 
ordered  home  by  Gen.  Washington  to  assist  Col.  Har*I<iy  in 
protecting  the  West  Branch  valley.  Capt.  Brady  was  assassi- 
nated by  Indian  scouts,  near  the  town  of  Muncy,  Apr  l.  11, 
1779,  and  Capt.  Boone  fell  near  Fort  Freeland,  on  the  '^9th 
of  July,  the  same  year. 

The  following  list  embraces  but  a  small  portion  of  the  regi-

Thirteenth  Pennsylvania.  691 


THIRTEENTH  PENNSYLVANIA  REGIMENT,   (a.) 


By  resolution  of  Congress,  of  November  12,  1777,  the  Penn- 
sylvania State  Regiment  of  Foot  was  taken  into  the  Conti- 
nental service  as  the  Thirteenth  Pennsylvania,  It  was  known 
as  early  as  July  6,  1777,  (Penn'a  Archives,  0.  S.,  vol.  5,  page 
715),  as  the  Thirteenth  Pennsylvania.  A  return,  dated  Phila- 
delphia, June  20,  1777,  signed  by  Ludwig  Sprogell,  commissary 
general  of  musters,  shows  present,  colonel,  lieutenant  colonel, 
two  majors,  eleven  captains,  twenty  lieutenants,  and  eleven 
ensigns,  chaplain,  surgeon,  paymaster,  surgeon's  mate,  adju- 
tant, quarter-master,  quarter-master  sergeant,  sergeant  major, 
drum  major,  fife  major,  forty-four  sergeants,  nine  corporals, 
twenty-two  drums  and  fifes,  four  hundred  and  seventy-seven 
rank  and  file,  fit  for  duty;  sick,  present,  twelve;  sick,  at  hos- 
pital, twenty-one;  on  command,  seventeen;  on  furlough,  ten; 
deserted,  seventy-six;    total,  six  hundred  and  thirteen. 

As  full  rolls  are  printed  ante,  in  connection  with  the  State 
Regiment  of  Foot,  up  to  the  1st  of  May,  1777,  and  these  cor- 
respond nearly  exactly  with  the  columns  of  sergeants,  cor- 
porals, drums,  and  fifes,  and  present,  fit  for  duty,  and  no 
rolls  have  been  found  subsequently  except  Capt.  Scott's,  it 
was  judged  proper  to  print,  in  connection  with  the  Thirteenth, 
only  such  of  the  rank  and  file  as  we  found  distinctively  marked 
"13th." 

This  regiment,  under  Col.  Stewart's  command,  fought  at 
Brandywine  and  Germantown.  In  Col.  Stewart's  letter,  printed 
in  the  Penn'a  Archives,  O.  S.,  vol.  v,  page  714,  he  says:  My 
loss  in  killed  and  missing  in  the  two  actions  does  not  exceed 
sixteen,  besides  the  wounded;  am  inclined  to  think  most  of 
the  missing  are  either  killed  or  badly  wounded.  He  submits 
returns  which  are  printed,  ibid.,  pages  715  and  716,  which  show 
only  a  difference  of  three  men  between  the  periods  of  these 
dates,  July  6,  1777,  and  October  27,  1777,  but  in  the  latter  he 
returns  of  ofiicers,  nine  captains,  fourteen  lieutenants,  and  ten 
ensigns,  five  staff,  and  forty-four  sergeants,  eighteen  drums  and 
fifes.  He  accounts  for  this  by  saying,  "I  have  been  lucky 
enough  to  have  received  a  good  many  recruits,  which  is  the 
cause  of  my  being  able  to  keep  it  up  so  well."  He  reports 
his  sick,  present,  at  forty-eight;  sick,  absent,  seventy;  on 
command,  sixty-nine;   on  furlough,  three;   total,  five  hundred

and  thirty-seven  rank  and  file,  as  against  five  hundred  and 
forty,  July  6,  1777;  of  the  sick,  he  says,  twenty-two  are 
wounded,  these  I  expect  will,  in  a  short  time,  be  able  to  join 
me.  For  the  part  the  regiment  took  in  the  battle  of  German- 
town,  the  reader  is  referred  to  Col.  Stewart's  letter  to  Gen. 
Gates,  in  Penn'a  Magazine  of  History,  vol.  1,  page  400  (1877). 

On  the  1st  of  January,  1778,  the  term  of  enlistment  of  Miles' 
and  Atlee's  battalions  expired,  or  was  so  claimed  by  the  men, 
and  many  left  and  were  discharged.  On  the  21st  of  February- 
1778,  Major  Francis  Murray  and  some  of  the  men  were  cap- 
tured at  Newtown,  twenty-four  miles  from  Philadelphia.  On 
the  3d  of  April,  1778,  it  being  apparent  that  the  men,  whose 
enlistments  were  made  in  April  and  May,  1776,  in  the  original 
State  battalions  for  two  years  could  be  held  no  longer,  the 
Executive  Council  resolved  to  incorporate  the  Thirteenth  with 
the  Second  Pennsylvania,  and  this  arrangement  went  into 
effect  July  1,  1778. 


Col.  Walter  Stewart,  the  colonel  of  the  Thirteenth,  and 
afterwards  of  the  Second  Pennsylvania,  was  of  Irish  descent, 
had  a  fair,  florid  complexion,  was  vivacious,  intelligent,  and 
well  educated,  and  it  was  said  was  the  handsomest  man  in  the 
American  army. — Custis'  Recollections.  On  the  11th  of  April, 
1781,  just  before  starting  upon  the  Southern  campaign,  with 
Gen.  Wayne,  he  married  a  daughter  of  Blair  McClenachan,  a 
prominent  patriotic  merchant  of  Philadelphia.  He  retired  the 
service,  January  1,  1783,  with  the  brevet  rank  of  brigadier 
general.  He  was  afterwards  a  prominent  merchant  of  Phila- 
delphia, major  general  of  the  first  division  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania militia.  His  portrait  is  full  length  in  Trumbull's  picture 
of  the  surrender  of  Cornwallis,  on  the  left  of  the  line  of  the 
American  officers.  He  died  in  Philadelphia,  at  the  early  age 
of  forty  years,  June  14  of  15,  1796,  and  was  buried  on  the  16th, 
with  the  honors  of  war,  the  Society  of  Cincinnati,  and  the 
officers  of  the  first  division  following  the  corpse  as  mourners. —

ADDITIONAL  REGIMENT. 

COL.  THOMAS  HARTLEY'S. 


JAN.  11,  1777— JAN.  13,  1779.   (a) 


(735) 


(736) 


COL.  THOMAS  HARTLEY'S  REGIMENT.      737 


COL.  THOMAS  HARTLEY'S  REGIMENT,  (a.) 


On  the  27th  of  December,  1776,  Congress  passed  a  resolu- 
tion, authorizing  Gen.  Washington  to  "raise  and  collect  to- 
gether, in  the  most  speedy  and  effectual  manner,  from  any 
and  all  of  these  United  States,  sixteen  battalions  of  infantry, 
in  addition  to  those  already  voted  by  Congress,  and  to  appoint 
the  officers  for  the  said  battalions  of  infantry,  &c."  On  the 
11th  of  January,  1777,  Gen.  Washington  issued  commissions 
and  authority  to  raise  two  of  these  regiments  to  Lieut.  Col. 
Thomas  Hartley,  of  the  Seventh  Pennsylvania,  and  Major 
John  Patton,  of  Miles'  rifle  regiment.  No  returns  of  either 
of  these  regiments  have  been  discovered,  and  very  few  memo- 
rials of  any  kind,  it  is  believed,  have  survived  the  ravages  of 
fire  and  time.  Hartley's  regiment  was  in  the  First  Pennsyl- 
vania brigade.  Gen.  Wayne's  division.  Hartley  commanding 
the  brigade,  in  the  battles  of  Brandywine  and  Germantown. 
What  its  actual  strength  was  cannot  be  told.  After  these 
actions,  November  1,  1777,  Morgan  Connor  makes  a  requisi- 
tion for  one  hundred  and  fifty  blankets  for  the  regiment.  It 
is  very  apparent  that  the  regiment  did  heavy  fighting  at 
Brandywine,  from  its  loss  of  officers  and  men.  For  the 
campaign  of  1778,  on  the  West  Branch,  reference  is  made  to 
Col.  Hartley's  report  to  Congress,  printed  in  Penn'a  Archives, 
0.  S.,  vol.  vii,  page  5,  and  Col.  Hartley's  letters,  in  ibid.,  vol. 
vi.  The  regiment  was  ordered  to  Sunbury,  about  the  14th 
of  July,  1778,  and  remained  in  service  on  the  West  Branch, 
until  incorporated  with  the  new  Eleventh. 

On  the  16th  of  December,  1778,  Congress  resolved  that  Col. 
Hartley's  regiment,  and  the  four  independent  companies  raised 
in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  commanded  by  Capts.  Doyle, 
Wilkins,  Steel,  and  Calderwood,  and  also  the  remains  of  Col. 
Patton's  regiment,  except  Capt.  McLane's  company,  be  incor- 
porated into  one  regiment,  and  added  to  the  Pennsylvania 
Line  as  an  Eleventh  regiment,  and  that  Capt.  McLane's  com- 
pany be  annexed  to  the  Delaware  regiment;  subsequently, 
January  13,  1779,  this  action  was  reconsidered,  and  it  was 
resolved  "that  the  regiment  lately  commanded  by  Col.  Patton, 
(Capt.  McLane,  his  subalterns,  and  men  raised  in  the  Dela- 
ware State  excepted),  and  the  independent  companies  raised

in  Pennsylvania,  and  afterwards  annexed  to  Col.  Malcolm's 
regiment,  be  incorporated  with  Col.  Hartley's  regiment;  the 
whole  to  form  a  complete  battalion  upon  the  new  establish- 
ment, and  be  added  to  the  Pennsylvania  Line  as  the  Eleventh 
Regiment  of  that  State;  that  the  several  officers  be  arranged 
by  the  Board  of  War,  and  enjoy  their  rank  according  to  their 
commissions  or  appointments,  respectively." 


Col.  Thomas  Hartley  was  born  near  Reading,  Berks  county, 
September  7,  1748,  and  removed  to  York;  Pennsylvania,  when 
eighteen  years  of  age,  where  he  studied  law  and  was  admitted 
to  the  bar  July  25,  1769.  The  sources  of  information  are  so 
full  in  regard  to  him  that  the  editors  deem  it  only  necessary 
to  refer  to  Carter's  and  Glossbrenner's  History  of  York  county, 
and  the  records  of  our  State  and  National  councils  for  evi- 
dences of  his  brilliant  career  as  a  soldier,  lawyer,  and  states- 
man. It  is  proper  to  add,  however,  that  it  is  from  his  numerous 
letters  among  the  Yeates  papers,  published  anonymously  in 
Force's  Archives,  that  full  information  upon  the  Canada  cam- 
paign has  been  obtained,  and  but  for  his  letters,  to  be  found 
in  the  Penn'a  Archives,  Old  Series,  very  little  would  be 
known  of  military  operations  on  the  West  Branch  in  1778- 
1779.  He  died  at  York,  Pennsylvania,  December  21,  1800,  and 
was  buried  in  the  burial-ground  of  the  church  of  St.  John,  in 
that  place. 


Lieut.  Col.  James  Wilkinson  served  as  a  subaltern  officer  in 
Thompson's  Rifle  regiment  before  Boston.  Gen.  Washington 
appointed  him  lieutenant  colonel  of  this  regiment;  but  he 
seems,  shortly  after,  to  have  resigned  to  take  the  position  of 
adjutant  general  of  Pennsylvania,  with  the  rank  of  brigadier 
general,  and  was  transferred  to  the  northern  army  as  adjutant 
general  for  Gen.  Gates.  His  resignation  as  brigadier  general 
and  adjutant  general  of  Pennsylvania  will  be  found  in  Penn'a 
Archives,  O.  S.,  vol.  x,  page  610,  without  date;  accepted,  how- 
ever, November  8,  1784.  For  further  particulars  of  him,  refer- 
ence is  made  to  his  voluminous  memoirs,  which  contain  many 
interesting  references  to  Pennsylvania  troops  and  officers, 
both  in  the  campaign  in  Canada  in  1776,  and  that  against 
Burgoyne  in  1777. 

Lieut.  Col.  Morgan  Connor  was  also  among  the  first  to  enter 
the  service  of  his   country  as  a  lieutenant  of  Capt.   George 


COL.  THOMAS  HARTLEY'S  REGIMENT.  739 

Nagel's  company,  in  Col.  Thompson's  regiment.  After  the 
campaign  of  1775-6,  he  was  ordered  south  as  brigade  major  for 
Gen.  John  Armstrong,  with  the  rank  of  major.  On  his  return, 
he  succeeded  Lieut.  Col.  Wilkinson,  and,  after  the  latter's  resig- 
nation, became  lieutenant  colonel.  In  1779,  he  claimed  the 
rank  of  lieutenant  colonel  commandant  of  the  new  Eleventh. 
—See  Hubley's  Correspondence  in  Historical  Note  to  New 
Eleventh.  Subsequently  he  was  made  lieutenant  colonel  com- 
mandant of  the  Seventh.  By  a  letter  printed  in  Penn'a 
Archives,  O.  S.,*vol.  viii,  page  515,  it  appears  that  he  was  lost 
at  sea  in  August,  1780.  At  all  events,  in  1782  his  estate  was 
administered  upon. 

For  notices  of  Maj.  Evan  Edwards,  reference  is  made  to  the 
biographies  of  Gen.  Charles  Lee,  to  whom  he  was  an  aid. 


In  a  manuscript  letter  from  Col.  Hartley  to  Council,  dated 
June  19,  1784,  he  says  of  Capt.  Andrew  Walker,  "he  entered  the 
service  with  me,  and,  on  account  of  his  merit,  was  appointed 
captain  in  my  regiment,  and  whilst  under  my  command  he 
was  a  punctual,  brave,  and  deserving  officer,  and  acquitted 
himself  with  the  highest  repution." 


Capt.  Archibald  McAllister,  died  January  16,  1831,  aged 
seventy-four  years  nine  months  and  nine  days,  at  his  place 
called  Fort  Hunter,  six  miles  above  Harrisburg,  where  he  is 
buried  in  a  private  burying  ground.  His  roll  as  far  as  pre- 
served, was  taken  from  an  old  company  account  book,  loaned 
the  editors  by  his  grandson,  James,  who  resides  near  the  old 
homestead.

COL.  JOHN  PATTON'S  REGIMENT,   (a.) 


As  stated  in  the  note  to  Hartley's,  this  was  one  of  the  six- 
teen additional  regiments  established  upon  a  different  footing 
from  the  eighty-eight  regiments  which  were  apportioned 
among  the  several  States.  The  appointment  of  the  officers 
was  left  to  the  Commander-in-chief,  and  he  was  empowered 
to  raise  the  men  in  any  or  all  of  the  United  States.  See 
Spark's  Life  and  Writings  of  Washington,  vol.  iv,  page  271, 
where  will  be  found  Col.  Gist's  commission  and  instructions. 
Those  for  the  other  co-lonels  were  similar. 

Col.  Patton  being  from  Philadelphia,  his  regiment  drew  con- 
tributions, both  in  officers  and  men,  from  New  Jersey,  and 
Delaware.  The  memoranda,  which  are  scant,  refer  altogether 
to  Pennsylvanians.  It  is  uncertain  whether  Lieut.  Joseph 
Davis  did  not  belong  to  Patton's,  as  he  was  a  brother-in-law. 
His  name,  wherever  it  occurs,  has  "Hartley  regiment"  to  it, 
but  that  may  be  because  he  was  killed  after  Patton's  was  con- 
solidated into  Hartley's,  There  are  a  number  of  officers  put 
in  a  list  by  themselves,  postea,  for  the  reason  of  uncertainty 
as  to  which  regiment  they  belonged,  because,  though  after- 
wards arranged  in  the  new  Eleventh,  they  should  have  credit 
for  serving  in  1777  and  1778. 

Col.  Patton  was  born  in  Sligo,  Ireland,  in  1745,  and  resided 
in  Philadelphia  when  appointed  major  of  Col.  Miles'  battalion. 
After  his  resignation,  in  November,  1777,  he  was  employed  to 
purchase  flour  for  the  army.  After  the  war  he  went  into  the 
iron  business  in  connection  with  Col.  Miles,  and  built  Centre 
furnace,  late  in  Harris  township,  Centre  county,  in  1792.  He 
died  there,  in  1804,  aged  about  fifty-seven,  and  is  buried  in 
the  church-yard  at  Boalsburg.  Col.  Patton  was  six  feet  in 
height,  of  noble  appearance  and  carriage,  his  hair  red  and  eyes 
hazel.  He  had  a  fine  address,  with  a  very  polished  manner. 
His  widow,  Jane  Davis,  of  Montgomery  county,  died  in  Hunt- 
ingdon, Pennsylvania,  in  1832,  aged  eighty  years.  She  was 
a  sister  of  Capt.  Benjamin  Davis,  and  also  of  Capt.  Joseph 
Davis,  who  was  killed  by  the  savages  while  the  regiment  was 
on  its  way  to  join  Gen.  Sullivan's  expedition. 

Lawrence  Keene,  one  of  Col.  Patton's  captains,  acted  as  aid 
to  Gen.  Mifflin.     He  was  subsequently  captain  in  the  Third 


758  CONTINENTAL  LINE. 

Pennsylvania,  and  was  appointed  prothonotary  of  Northum- 
berland county,  September  25,  1783,  and  died  in  Sunbury  in 
July,  1789.  His  wife,  Gainor  Lukens,  was  a  daughter  of  John 
Lukens,  Surveyor  General  of  the  State,

1776—1783.  (a) 


(764) 


COL.  HAZEN'S  REGIMENT.  765 

COL.  HAZEN'S  REGIMENT,   (a.) 


Col.  Moses  Hazen's  regiment,  known  as  "Congress'  Own" 
and  Canadian  Old  regiment,  was  raised  under  the  authority 
of  a  resolution  of  Congress  of  January  20,  17^6,  to  enlist  one 
thousand  more  Canadians  for  one  year  (one  having  already 
been  established  under  Col.  James  Livingston).  January  22d, 
Moses  Hazen  was  elected  colonel,  and  Edward  Antill,  lieu- 
tenant colonel,  by  Congress.  It  went  by  the  name  of  "Con- 
gress' Own,"  because  not  attached  to  the  quota  of  any  of  the 
States.  During  the  spring  of  1776,  about  five  hundred  men 
were  raised,  but  on  the  evacuation  of  Canada,  the  number  so 
decreased,  that  when  the  regiment  arrived  at  Albany,  in  Au- 
gust, 1776,  it  was  reduced  to  less  than  one  hundred.  Hazen 
and  Antill  then  went  to  Philadelphia  to  lay  the  state  of  the 
regiment  before  Congress.  It  v/as  decided  to  continue  it 
upon  its  original  foundation;  the  men  to  serve  during  the 
war.  The  officers  were  authorized  to  raise  the  men  in  any 
and  all  of  the  United  States.  Lieut,  Col.  Antill  superintended 
the  recruiting  in  Pennsylvania  and  the  Middle  States,  and 
the  recruits  chiefly  consisted  of  men  from  those  States,  Col. 
Hazen  meeting  with  no  success  in  the  Eastern  States  and  New 
York,  on  account  of  high  bounties  there  offered. 

For  a  detailed  history  of  this  regiment,  see  autobiography 
of  its  adjutant,  late  Benjamin  Mooers,  of  Plattsburg,  New 
York,  in  Historical  Magazine,  February,  1872,  page  92.  The 
winter  of  1780-81,  it  remained  at  Fishkill,  New  York,  thence 
it  removed  to  West  Point,  from  which  place  it  moved  down 
the  Hudson  and  joined  the  army  en  route  to  Yorktown,  where 
it  took  part  in  the  siege,  after  which  it  was  ordered  to  Lan- 
caster, where  it  lay  ten  months  guarding  the  prisoners;  thence 
it  removed  to  Nev«r  York;  began  to  be  furloughed  in  June, 
1783,  and  was  finally  disbanded  at  White  Plains,  in  Novem- 
ber of  that  year. 

In  Col.  Hazen's  memorial,  printed  on  pages  17,  18,  19,  Penn'a 
Archives,  old  series,  vol.  viii,  will  also  be  found  a  very  interest- 
ing history  of  the  regiment  up  to  November  30,  1779.  By  a 
letter  from  the  ofiicers,  noted  in  proceedings  of  Executive 
Council,  December  29,  1779,  it  appears  there  were  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty-three,  officers  included,  Pennsylvanians  in  this 
regiment  at  that  date.  See,  also,  Capt.  Andrew  Lee's  diary 
in  the  Penn'a  Magazine  of  History,  1879,  page  167,  for  an 
acrount  of  regiment  in  Sullivan's  expedition  to  Staten  Island, 
August  22.  1777.

THE  GERMAN  REGIMENT,  (a) 


The  German  regiment  originated  from  a  resolution  of  Con- 
gress June  27,  1776,  directing  four  companies  of  Germans  to  be 
raised  in  Pennsylvania,*  and  four  companies  in  Maryland, 
to  compose  "the  German  battalion,"  the  companies  to  serve 
for  three  years,  unless  sooner  discharged.  Nicholas  Hausseg- 
ger,  major  of  the  Fourth  battalion  (Wayne's),  was  commis- 
sioned colonel,  and  Pennsylvania  furnished  by  far  iha  largest 
number,  both  of  its  officers  and  recruits.  None  of  its  regular 
rolls  have  survived,  and  the  list  is  made  up  from  returns  of 
those  who  belonged  to  Pennsylvania  as  found  in  the  Secre- 
tary's office.  The  regiment  was  in  the  field  and  engaged  at 
Trenton  and  Princeton,  and  in  May,  1777,  was  in  Deborre's 
brigade,  Sullivan's  division.  The  colonel  left  the  army  after 
the  battle  of  Monmouth,  and  returned  to  his  farm  near  Leba- 
non, Pa.  Lt.  Col.  Weltner  succeeded  to  the  command.  The 
regiment  took  part  in  Sullivan's  campaign  against  the  In- 
dians. In  the  spring  of  1780  it  was  stationed  on  the  frontiers 
of  Northumberland  county.  By  a  resolution  of  Congress  in 
October  the  German  regiment  was  reduced,  and  ended  its  or- 
ganization January  1,  1781.  All  the  correspondence  relative 
to  this  regiment  found  in  the  Secretary's  office  has  been  pub- 
lished in  the  old  series  of  Archives,  except  the  following  orders 
found  among  the  Hand  papers: 

Gen.  Hand  to  Major  Burchardt. 

"Minisink,  5th  April,  1779. 
"Sir:  Agreeable  to  the  orders  you  yesterday  rec'd  you  will 
proceed  to  Wyoming,  on  the  Susquehanna  River,  with  the 
Regiment  under  your  Immediate  Command,  Col.  Armand's  and 
Capt.  Schott's  corps,  the  former  is  commanded  at  present  by 
Major  Lomaign  &  the  latter  by  Capt'n  Selin.  These  corps 
will  join  you  at  or  before  you  reach  Col.  Stroud's,  at  Fort  Penn, 
as  you  will  see  by  their  Orders,  left  open  for  your  persual,  & 
which  you  will  have  delivered.  You  must  take  with  you  from 
nere  all  the  flour  now  left  in  store,  and  Beef  sufficient  to  carry 
the  Detachment  thro'  to  Wyoming;    you  will  receive  an  ad-

ditional  supply  of  Flour  at  Col.  Stroud's.  Take  care  that  each 
corps  takes  with  them  the  provisions  they  have  respectively 
drawn.  You  will  receive  a  few  Camp  Kettles  for  the  Detach- 
ment at  Col.  Stroud's,  and  may  draw  20  Axes  for  your  Regi- 
ment, 6  for  Armand's  &  3  for  Schott's  here. 

"It  will  take  you  four  days  from  Col.  Stroud's  to  Wyoming; 
you  will,  therefore,  regulate  your  Provision  accordingly. 
Capt'n  Alex'r  Patterson,  A.  D.  Q.  M.,  will  send  express  to  Col. 
Zebuion  Butler,  commanding  at  Wyoming,  with  notice  of  your 
Approach.  From  Fort  Penn  you  will  march  to  Lardner's; 
thence  to  an  Incamping  Place  in  what  is  Commonly  cal'd  the 
Great  Swamp;  the  third  day  to  Bullock's,  which  is  within  five 
miles  of  Wyoming  Garrison,  where  for  the  present  you  will 
put  yourself  under  Col.  Butler's  directions. 

"I  am  thus  Particular,  as  It  will  be  necessary  to  make  easie 
marches  in  order  to  reconnoitre  the  Country  well  and  examine 
every  thicket  &  hollow  way,  or  swamp  before  you  enter  it, 
which  I  desire  you  may  be  very  particular  in  doing  to  prevent 
being  Surprised  or  led  into  an  Ambuscade  or  attack'd  without 
previous  knowledge  of  the  Enemy's  being  near.  You  will  be 
particularly  attentive  to  keep  the  Body  of  the  Troops  com- 
pact. Suffer  no  straggling  on  any  account;  keep  a  proper  ad- 
vance &  rear  Guard,  tho'  not  at  too  great  a  distance,  and  also 
small  parties  on  your  Flanks,  observing  the  same  caution. 
Should  any  enemy  appear,  you  must  take  care  not  to  advance 
on  them  precipitately  before  you  know  their  numbers,  or  until 
you  have  sufficiently  extended  your  front  to  prevent  being  oui- 
Flanked. 

"By  a  steddy  adherence  to  the  above  directions,  yon  will 
have  little  danger  to  apprehend — double  your  attention  as  you 
approach  the  Fort.  As  the  badness  of  the  Roads  at  present 
and  the  scarcity  of  horses  will  prevent  your  carrying  your 
heavy  Baggage,  you  must  leave  it  at  Fort  Penn  with  a  Guard 
until  you  have  a  more  favorable  opportunity. 

"Relying  much  on  your  Steddyness,  Industry,  Zeal,  and 
Activity,  I  wish  you  a  Good  march,  and 

"Am  sir,  your  obed't  serv't,

MOYLAN'S  CAVALRY.  835 


PENNSYLVANIA  REGIMENT  OF  CAVALRY,  (a.) 


Col.  Stephen  Moylan  was  born  in  Ireland,  in  1734,  and  upon 
the  recommendation  of  John  Dickinson,  Esq.,  was  placed  in 
the  commissary  department  in  the  army  before  Boston,  in 
1775.  On  the  5th  of  June,  1776,  Congress  elected  him  quarter- 
master general,  with  the  rank  of  colonel,  which  office  he 
resigned  October  1,  1776.  He  then  raised  his  cavalry  regi- 
ment which  was  an  independent  organization,  the  Officers  of 
which  were  not  all  from  Pennsylvania,  but  the  men  were  all 
raised  in  Pennsylvania. — General  St.  Clair's  letter,  Archives, 
O.  S.,  vol.  vii,  page  666.  They  were  enlisted  in  1777,  their 
term  expiring  the  last  of  September,  1780,  when  only  eleven 
men  were  credited  as  its  quota  for  the  war.  In  the  spring  of 
1781,  its  ranks  were  recruited  to  eighty  men,  who  went  south- 
ward in  detachments  to  join  Gen.  V^ayne. — See  correspondence 
in  Archives,  0.  S.,  vol.  ix,  pages  267,  321.  For  an  interesting 
notice  of  Col.  Moylan  and  Capt.  Heard,  see  Chastelleux's 
Travels,  vol.  i,  pages  142  and  155.  Col.  Molyan  retired  at  the 
close  of  the  war  with  the  rank  of  brevet  brigadier  general,  and 
died  in  Philadelphia,  April  11,  1^1;  buried  in  St.  Mary's 
church-yard,  south  Fourth  street,  Philadelphia.

ARMAND'S  PARTISAN  LEGION,   (a.) 


Congress,  on  the  10th  of  May,  1777,  commissioned  Armand, 
colonel,  and  authorized  him  to  raise  a  corps  of  Frenchmen, 
not  exceeding  two  hundred.  On  the  5th  of  February,  1779, 
he  applied  to  Congress,  and  received  leave  to  return  to  France, 
where  he  largely  recruited  his  corps,  and  returned.  October 
3,  1780,  Congress  determined  that  on  the  1st  of  January,  1781, 
such  of  the  sixteen  additional  regiments  as  had  not  been 
annexed  to  the  line  of  some  particular  State,  and  all  the  sepa- 
rate light  corps  of  the  army,  both  horse  and  foot,  should  be 
reduced  except  Col.  Hazen's  regiment.  Col.  Armand's  legion, 
and  Major  Lee's  corps.  With  the  exception  of  the  incorpora- 
tion of  Pulaski's  legion  with  it,  it  therefore  remained  intact 
until  the  close  of  the  war.  Charles  Armand  was  Marquis  de 
la  Rouerie,  who  concealed  his  rank,  combatting  an  unsuccess- 
ful love,  by  throwing  himself  headlong  into  the  channel  of 
war.  (Lafayette's  Memoirs,  vol.  i,  page  119.)  He  was  promi- 
nent in  the  fight  at  Red  Bank,  in  1777,  and  opposed  the  Tories 
in  West  Chester  county.  New  York.  Was  stationed  in  Ridg- 
field,  Connecticut,  in  1779;  under  Gates  in  the  south;  pursued 
Cornwallis  to  Yorktown;  made  a  brigadier  in  1783,  on  Wash- 
ington's recommendation.  He  took  an  active  part  in  the 
scenes  of  the  French  revolution,  and  died  in  1793.  For  more 
extended  biographical  sketches  of  Col.  Armand,  and  a  brief 
resume  of  his  services,  see  Rattermann's  Deutsche  Pionier,  vol. 
viii,  page  437,  and  The  Penn'a  Magazine  of  History,  vol.  ii, 
page  1. 

A  return  among  the  Hand  papers,  entitled  "Return  of  the 
Independent  Corps  of  Cavalrie  and  of  Foot,  commanded  by 
Col.  Armand,  Minesing,  December  28,  1778,"  gives  the  strength 
of  the  corps  as  follows: 

Light  dragoons,  Capt.  Marckle,  19

"      Sigoigne,  : 23

PULASKI'S  LEGION.  885 


PENNSYLVANIANS  IN  PULASKI'S  LEGION,  (a.) 


By  a  resolution  of  Congress,  passed  the  28th  of  March,  1778, 
Count  Casimir  Pulaski  was  authorized  to  raise  and  organize 
a  corps  of  sixty-eight  light  horse  and  two  hundred  foot.  This 
was  known  as  Pulaski's  Legion,  and  was  recruited  chiefly  in 
Pennsylvania  and  Maryland.  For  extended  notices  of  that 
eminent  patriot,  reference  is  made  to  Spark's  American  Biog- 
raphy, vol.  iv,  p.  369-446;  and  Lossing's  Field  Book,  vol.  ii, 
p.  529.  According  to  the  Bethlehem  Diary,  Pulaski  arrived 
there  on  the  16th  of  April,  1778,  and  mention  is  made  of  him  on 
the  18th  of  May  following.  It  was  during  this  interval  that 
the  banner,  which  forms  a  frontispiece* to  this  volume,  was 
made.*  For  years  it  was  received  as  a  fact  that  the  banner 
has  been  presented  the  gallant  Pole  by  the  Moravian  single 
sisters  of  Bethlehem,  as  a  token  of  their  gratitude  for  the  pro- 
tection Pulaski  had  afforded  them,  surrounded  as  they  were  by 
a  rough  and  uncouth  soldiery,  but  recent  investigations  go  to 
show  that  the  General,  on  visiting  the  Sisters'  house,  saw 
their  beatiful  embroidery,  and  that  he  then  ordered  them  to 
prepare  a  small  cavalry  banner  for  his  legion,  and  that  the 
whole  transaction  was  a  simple  business  one.  Be  this  as  it 
may,  the  banner  is  one  of  historic  interest  and  value,  and  the 
truth  does  not  detract  from  the  romantic  associations  cluster- 
ing around  it.  When  Pulaski  fell  mortally  wounded,  before 
Savannah,  in  the  autum.n  of  1779,  Paul  Bentalon,  of  Baltimore, 
one  of  his  captains,  was  beside  him,  and  was  carried  with 
him  on  board  the  United  States  brig  Wasp,  and  was  with  him 
when  he  died.  Pulaski  was  not  buried  on  land,  as  Lossing 
says,  but,  according  to  Bentalon  who  was  present,  was  con- 
signed to  a  watery  grave.  The  banner  was  secured  by  Capt. 
Bentalon,  and  for  more  than  forty  years  was  hid  from  the 
public  eye.  It  subsequently  passed  into  the  possession  of  the 
Maryland  Historical  Society,  where  it  now  remains.  The  edi- 
tors are  indebted  to  the  Rev.  E.  A.  Dalrymple,  D.  D.,  of  Balti- 
more, for  the  following  description  and  present  condition  of  it: 

"The  Banner  is  twenty  inches  square  and  was  attached  to  a 
lance  when  borne  on  the  field.  Externally  it  is  of  a  dingy 
brown  on  both  sides.  It  is  composed  of  two  pieces,  and  by 
separating  them,  which  is  easily  done,  inasmuch  as  the  sew- 


♦Not  reproduced  in  this  series, 


886  CONTINENTAL  LINE. 

ing  has  ripped  asunder,  the  original  colors  are  very  readily 
and  certainly  determined.  1.  The  ground,  or  piece  of  silk 
for  both  sides,  is  crimson.  2.  The  exploding  hand  grenades 
in  the  four  corners  of  the  banner  are  bright  yellow  silk, 
relieved  with  white,  to  show  distinction  in  the  flames.  3.  The 
ball  of  the  eye  is  light  brown;  the  pupil  is  dark  brown.  4. 
The  rays  around  the  eye  are  bright  yellow.  5.  The  letters  are 
yellow  and  shaded  with  green,  that  is  the  letters  are  two-thirds 
of  bright  yellow  silk  and  one-third  of  green  silk;  the  'U.  S.' 
the  same.  6.  The  bordering  near  the  edges  of  the  banner  is 
bright  yellow  and  green,  exactly  like  the  letters.  7.  The  fringe 
was  of  silver,  or  some  white  bullion;  it  is  (or  was)  metallic, 
though  now  tarnished  or  dark.    8.  The  stars  are  bright  yellow." 

As  will  be  seen  by  reference  to  the  banner,  on  one  side  are 
the  letters  "U.  S."  and,  in  a  circle  around  them,  the  words 
"Unitas  Virtus  Forci(fr."  "Union  makes  valor  stronger."  The 
letter  C  in  the  last  word  is  incorrect;  it  should  be  a  T.  On 
the  other  side,  in  the  center,  is  the  All-seeing  Eye,  with  the 
words  "Non  Alius  Regit."  "No  other  Governs."  The  poet 
Longfellow  has  thrown  around  this  banner  of  Pulaski  such 
a  charm  and  beauty,  that,  were  not  his  verses  so  wanting  in 
historic  truth,  we  should  be  tempted  to  quote  them. 

With  the  death  of  Pulaski,  his  legion  was  merged  into  other 
corps.  On  the  29th  of  November,  Congress  voted  a  monument 
to  the  memory  of  the  Polish  patriot  which  waa  never  erected; 
but  one  was  subsequently  raised  by  the  citizens  of  Savannah, 
of  which  Gen.  Lafayette,  during  his  triumphal  progress  through 
the  United  States,  laid  the  corner  stone.

LEE'S  PARTISAN  CORPS,   (a.) 


Lee's  Partisan  Legion,  so  called,  was  a  separate  corps  of 
cavalry,  imder  the  command  of  the  celebrated  Maj.  Henry 
Lee,  of  Virginia,  the  "Light  Horse  Harry"  of  the  Revolution. 
The  legion  distinguished  itself  in  the  South  and  was  the 
scourge  of  Tarleton  and  the  loyalists  of  the  Carolinas,  serving 
until  the  close  of  the  war.  Dr.  Matthew  Irvine  was  the  princi- 
pal Pennsylvania  officer  connected  with  it,  concerning  whom, 
in  Lee's  Memoirs,  vol.  ii,  page  13,  there  is  the  following  refer- 
ence: 

"Such  was  Dr.  Skinner's  unvarying  objection  to  Irvine's 
custom  of  risking  his  life  whenever  he  was  with  the  corps 
going  into  action;  that  kind  and  amiable  as  he  was,  he  saw 
with  pleasure  that  his  prediction,  often  communicated  to  Irvine 
to  stop  his  practice  (which,  contrasted  with  his  own,  Skinner 
felt  as  a  bitter  reproach),  was  at  length  realized  when  Irvine 
was  brought  in  wounded,  and  he  would  not  dress  his  wounds, 
although  from  his  station  he  had  the  preference,  until  he  had 
finished  all  the  privates;  reprehending  with  asperity  Irvine's 
custom,  and  sarcastically  complimenting  him  every  now  and 
and  then  with  the  honorable  scar  he  might  hereafter  show."

(S94) 


VON  OTTENDORFF'S  CORPS.         89S 


BARON  DE  OTTENDORFF'S  CORPS,  (a.) 


Armand's  Legion  (see  record  of,  postea)  was  originally 
recruited  by  Baron  de  Ottendorff  as  a  troop  of  light  infantry, 
but  on  account  of  the  scarcity  of  well-disciplined  cavalry,  it 
changed  into  a  dragoon  corps.  Nicholas  Dietrich,  Baron  de 
Ottendorlf,  was  a  nobleman  from  Lusatia,  Saxony,  and  had 
served  in  the  "Seven  Years'  War,"  as  a  lieutenant,  under 
Frederick  the  Great.  Upon  the  close  of  that  war,  he  went 
to  Paris,  where  he  associated  with  Kosciuzko  and  Roman  de 
Lisle.  At  the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolution,  these  three  war- 
riors came  together  to  America  to  assist  the  colonies  in  their 
struggle  for  independence.  Kosciuszko  entered  the  staff  of 
General  Washington.  De  Lisle  was  made  captain  of  artillery, 
and  Ottendorff,  at  the  request  of  Gen.  Washington,  by  a  reso- 
lution of  Congress  on  November  8,  1776,  was  "appointed  a 
brevet-captain  in  the  service  of  the  United  States."  By  a 
resolution  of  the  day  subsequent,  he  was  "ordered  to  repair  to 
Headquarters,  near  the  Great  Plains,  and  put  himself  under 
the  command  of  Gen.  Washington."  On  the  5th  of  December 
following.  Congress  "directed  Capt.  Ottendorff  to  raise  an  inde- 
pendent corps,  consisting  of  150  men,  sergeants,  and  corporals 
included;  that  the  same  be  divided  into  three  companies,  the 
first  to  consist  of  60  men,  light  infantry,  to  be  commanded  by 
one  captain  and  two  lieutenants;  the  other  two  companies 
of  hunters,  of  45  men  each,  to  be  commanded  each  by  a  cap- 
tain and  two  lieutenants;  that  Captain  Ottendorff  have  the 
rank  of  major,  be  captain  of  the  light-infantry  company,  and 
command  the  whole;  that  an  adjutant  be  appointed  for  thla 
corps  who  is  to  act  as  quartermaster  and  paymaster,  with  the 
rank  of  lieutenant  and  pay  of  other  adjutants."  Major  Otten- 
dorff began  the  recruiting  with  great  energy,  and  in  the  spring- 
of  1777  the  complement  of  the  corps  was  filled.  The  three 
companies  were  all  raised  in  Pennsylvania,  and  continued  in 
service  until  1780.  Of  Ottendorff's  subsequent  career  little 
is  known.  Upon  the  merging  of  the  corps  into  Armand's 
Legion,  Lieut.  Henry  Bedkin  took  command  of  the  first  com- 
pany and  it  is  probable  Ottendorff  had  previously  left  the  ser- 
vice and  returned  to  Europe.  —(See  Ratterman's  Pioneei.  vol. 
vll,  p  449.)

PROVOST  GUARD.  911 


VON  HEER'S  LIGHT  DRAGOONS,     (a.) 


Von  Heer's  troop  was  organized  under  a  resolution  of  Con- 
gress of  May  27,  1778,  establishing  a  Provost,  to  consist  of  a  cap- 
tain, four  lieutenants,  one  clerk,  quarter-master  sergeant,  two 
trumpeters,  two  sergeants,  five  corporals,  forty-three  provosts 
or  privates,  and  four  ex-carboniers;  they  were  mounted  and  ac- 
coutered  as  light  dragoons.  A  summary  of  their  duties  was 
included  in  orders  dated  October  10,  1778  (see  orderly  book, 
postea);  they  were  to  apprehend  deserters,  rioters,  and  strag- 
glers. In  battle  they  were  posted  in  the  rear  to  secure  fugu- 
tives.  In  short,  their  duties  were  the  usual  ones  of  a  provost 
guard,  and  the  corps  was  styled  the  Troop  of  Marechausse. 
Capt.  Bartholomew  Von  Heer  resigned  from  Procter's  artil- 
lery to  take  this  command,  and  in  some  papers  he  is  styled 
"Provost  Marshal  of  the  Continental  Army."  The  men  were 
all  recruited  in  Pennsylvania — Washington's  letter,  Penn'a 
Archives,  O.  S.,  ix,  page  486. 


ROLL  OF  CAPTAIN   VON   HEER'S  DRAGOONS,     (a.)

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF'S  GUARD. 


COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF'S    GUARD,     (a.) 


This  corps  was  organized  by  Gen.  Washington  in  1776,  while 
the  army  was  at  New  York,  and  consisted  of  a  major's  com- 
mand, one  hundred  and  eighty  men.  Caleb  Gibbs,  of  Rhode 
Island,  was  its  first  chief,  with  the  title  of  captain  command- 
ant. By  an  order  dated  at  Valley  Forge,  March  17,  1778,  one 
hundred  chosen  men  were  to  be  annexed  to  the  guard,  for  the 
purpose  of  forming  a  corps  "to  be  instructed  in  maneuvres 
to  be  introduced  into  the  army,  and  to  serve  as  a  model  for  the 
execution  of  them.  As  the  General's  guard  is  composed  of 
Virginians,  the  one  hundred  draughts  will  be  taken  from  the 
troops  of  other  States.  Height  of  men  from  five  feet  eight  to 
five  feet  ten;  age,  from  twenty  to  thirty,  and  men  of  estab- 
lished character  for  sobriety  and  fidelity.  They  must  be 
American  born." — See  Stryker's  New  Jersey  Register,  page  60, 
for  copy  of  the  o-rder. 

In  1779,  William  Colfax,  grandfather  of  Schuyler  Colfax,  late 
Vice  President  of  the  United  States,  succeeded  Major  Gibbs  in 
the  command.  There  are  two  returns  in  the  archives  at  Har- 
risburg — one  by  Major  Gibbs,  and  the  second  made  by  Capt. 
Colfax.  The  following  list  is  collated  from  both.  Capt.  Col- 
fax's return,  dated  New  Windsor,  April  8,  1781,  embraces  all 
the  names  except  those  of  John  Arundell,  John  Berry,  Thomas 
Blair,  Hugh  Hagerty,  Isaac  Howell,  and  John  Pillar.  He  cer- 
tifies that  all  on  his  list  are  present  except  William  Simmons, 
sick  at  Norristown. 

For  an  exhaustive  notice  of  the  guard,  see  Dr.  Lossing's 
article  in  the  Historical  Magazine,  New  York,  May,  1858.

PENNSYLVANIA  ARTILLERY.  943 


CAPT.  THOMAS  PROCTER'S  ARTILLERY  COMPANY,     (a.) 


Captain  Thomas  Procter's  artillery  company  originated  from 
a  resolution  of  the  Committee  of  Safety,  dated  October  16,  1775, 
for  raising  an  artillery  company,  to  be  placed  at  Fort  Island, 
to  consist  of  one  captain,  one  lieutenant,  one  drum  and  fife,  and 
twenty-five  privates,  to  serve  the  Province  twelve  months, 
unless  sooner  discharged.  On  the  27th  of  October,  upon  his 
own  application,  Mr.  Thomas  Procter  was  appointed  captain. 
On  the  3d  of  November,  his  company  was  received  into  the  bar- 
racks at  Philadelphia,  and  furnished  with  the  bedding,  "late 
belonging  to  the  Royal  artillery  company,"  &c.  The  rules 
and  regulations  governing  the  company,  will  be  found  in  Co- 
lonial Records,  vol.  x,  page  391,  On  the  8th  of  December, 
Capt.  Procter,  and  Lieut.  Francis  Procter  were  dismissed  the 
service,  on  account  of  a  difficulty  with  some  officers  of  Col. 
Bull's  battalion,  and  on  the  27th,  Lieut.  Simonds  was  put  in 
command,  and  the  company  ordered  to  Liberty  Island.  On 
the  28th,  however,  Capt.  Procter  was  restored  to  command. 
Early  in  April,  1776,  the  company  being  stationed  on  Fort  Is- 
land, was  increased  in  number  to  one  hundred  and  twenty  men, 
and  on  the  14th  of  August,  his  force  was  augmented  to  two 
hundred  men,  to  be  formed  into  two  companies  with  one  com- 
manding officer,  with  the  rank  of  major,  each  company  to 
have  one  captain  lieutenant  and  three  lieutenants,  and  Capt. 
Procter  was  promoted  major.  On  the  5th  of  October,  a  detach- 
ment of  fifty  men  under  Capt.  Strobagh,  was  ordered  to  Fort 
Montgomery,  Lieut.  Procter,  of  Forrest's  company,  to  ac- 
company. On  the  30th  of  October,  1776,  the  terms  of  many 
of  the  men  expired,  Maj.  Procter  was  directed  to  re-enlist 
them  for  the  war,  and  a  bounty  of  ten  dollars  was  allowed 
therefor.  The  company  remained  at  Fort  Island  until  about 
the  25th  of  December,  when  part  of  it  was  ordered  over  into 
New  Jersey,  with  Capt.  Forrest  and  Lieuts.  Duffey  and  Emes, 
and  took  part  in  the  capture  of  the  Hessians  at  Trenton.  See 
these  letters,  Penn'a  Archives,  0.  S.,  vol.  v,  page  142.  Maj. 
Procter  joined  this  command,  leaving  Lieuts.  Courtenay  and 
Emes  in  command  at  Fort  Island,  and  took  part  in  the  battle 
of  Princeton,  where  he  captured  a  brass  six-pounder,  which  he 
presented  to  the  State  of  Pennsylvania.  He  was  joined  at 
Morristown  on  the  16th  of  January,  1777,  by  Capt.  Strobagh's 


&44  coNtineN'taL  line. 

company.  On  the  17th,  Gen.  Knox  left  for  New  England, 
leaving  Maj.  Procter  in  command  of  all  the  Continental  artil- 
lery. On  the  20th  of  February,  Maj.  Procter  received  news  at 
Morristown  of  the  resolution  for  the  establishment  of  a  regi- 
ment of  artillery,  and  of  his  appointment  to  the  command.

PENNSYLVANIA  ARTILLERY.  953 


CAPT.  BERNARD  ROMANS'  COMPANY,     (a.) 


This  company  of  matrosses  as  it  was  called,  was  raised  in  the 
Province  of  Pennsylvania,  under  the  authority  of  a  resolution 
of  Congress,  for  the  service  of  the  United  States  in  Canada, 
(Minutes  of  Council  of  Safety,  January  29,  1776,  Col.  Records, 
vol.  X,  page  470),  and  its  officers  appointed  by  the  Council, 
ibid.,  479.  It  afterwards  went  by  the  name  of  Gibbs  Jones' 
company,  but  no  records  of  it  have  been  found  except  the  roll 
hereafter  printed,  which  seems  to  have  been  furnished  the 
Council,  in  pursuance  of  a  resolution  of  March  21,  1780,  ibid., 
vol.  xii,  page  286,  which  embraced,  of  course,  only  the  names 
of  the  officers  and  men  at  the  latter  date.  The  matter  in 
brackets  added  from  scattered  memoranda  in  the  Records  and 
Archives.

(960) 


PENNSYLVANIA  ARTILLERY,  961 


PENNSYLVANIA  STATE  REGIMENT  OF  ARTILLERY,     (a.) 


Procter's  artillery  regiment,  as  it  was  usually  denominated, 
was  a  regiment  of  artillery  raised  for  the  defense  of  the  State 
of  Pennsylvania,  under  a  resolution  of  the  Council  of  Safety, 
dated  February  6,  1777,  to  consist  of  a  colonel,  lieutenant  colo- 
nel, major,  eight  captains,  eight  first  lieutenants,  eight  second 
lieutenants,  eight  lieutenant  fire-workers,  paymaster,  surgeon, 
&c.,  thirty-two  sergeants,  thirty-two  corporals,  eight  drum- 
mers, eight  fifers,  twelve  musicians,  and  four  hundred  and 
eighty  privates.  See  Col.  Records,  vol.  xi,  page  116.  By  a 
subsequent  resolution,  February  28,  1777,  ibid,,  page  138,  it  was 
to  serve  in  any  part  of  the  United  States  during  the  war. 
Maj.  Procter's  command,  which  was  its  nucleus,  was  in  service, 
and  had  its  first  disaster  at  Bound  Brook,  New  Jersey,  April 
13,  1777,  where  Lieuts.  Ferguson  and  Turnbull  were  captured, 
with  twenty  privates  and  two  pieces  of  artillery.  Its  next 
disaster  was  at  the  battle  of  Brandywine,  where  Procter 
bravely  maintained  his  position  at  Chadd's  Ford,  until  the 
defeat  of  the  right  wing  forced  his  retreat,  with  the  loss 
of  some  guns  and  ammunition.  At  Germantown,  on  the  4th 
of  October,  1777,  a  portion  of  the  regiment  was  engaged 
under  Capt.  Lt.  Brewer;  Lieuts.  Barker  and  Ritter,  hav- 
ing charge  of  the  guns.  According  to  William  McMullen's 
statement.  Barker  had  a  six-pound  cannon  stationed  on  the 
main  street,  nearly  opposite  Chew's  house,  "  the  report  of 
which  was  so  sharp,  that  it  caused  the  blood  to  run  from 
his  ears."  No  regimental  returns  have  been  found  prior  to 
September  3,  1778,  when  by  resolution  of  Congress.  Proc- 
ter's regiment  was  made  part  of  the  quota  of  troops  to  be  fur- 
nished by  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  which  was  to  be  credited 
for  the  men  now  in  the  regiment,  and  also  for  any  that  should 
thereafter  be  recruited  therein.  From  its  necessarily  detached 
service  very  little  of  the  history  of  the  regiment  has  survived; 
but  detachments  from  it  were  engaged  in  nearly  all  of  the 
operations  6t  the  main  army,  subsequently  notably  at  Mon- 
mouth and  in  Sullivan's  campaign  of  1779.  The  following 
data  are  gathered  from  such  returns  as  were  accessible,  sup- 
plemented by  the  correspondence  of  Capt.  Isaac  Craig,  fur- 
nished by  his  grandson,  Isaac  Craig,  Esq.,  of  Allegheny  city, 
Penna'a.

Gen.  Gates  to  the  Artillery  Officers. 

War  Office,  April  28th,  1778. 

Gentlemen:  The  Board  have  been  favored  with  your  Cer- 
tificate of  yesterday,  in  Favor  of  Capt.  Coren's  Conduct,  with 
Regard  to  you.  We  are  always  happy  when  Enquiries  into  the 
Characters  &  Behavior  of  Officers  in  the  Service  of  their  Coun- 
try, turn  out  favorable.  We  deem  your  testimony  fully  satis- 
factory as  to  Capt.  Coren,  but  are  sorry  any  Officers  under  his 
command  are  in  a  Situation  to  be  under  the  Necessity,  by 
any  Appearance,  "of  concealing  their  Ignorance."  Either  Mr. 
Coren  has  not  been  so  communicative  as  he  ought  to  have  been, 
or  ihey  have  been  inattentive  to  Matters  daily  passing  before 
them.  Perhaps,  too,  they  have  been  indolent  or  too  much 
above  their  Business  to  employ  themselves.  Manually,  in  it. 
Practical  Arts  are  not  to  be  learnt  by  Speculation.  No  Person, 
in  our  Opinion,  by  merely  viewing  a  complex  Machine,  altho' 
he  should  attend  to  its  Parts  never  so  minutely,  either  in  the 
whole  or  by  Detail,  could  at  once  produce,  of  his  own  Manu- 
facture, a  similar  one.  Practice  must  complete  what  Specula- 
tion only  begins.  The  Knowledge  you  have  gained,  it  is  ex- 
pected, of  the  Laboratory  Art,  as  well  as  your  Experience  in 
Life,  must  convince  you  of  the  Truth  of  these  general  Posi- 
tions. And  as  you  are  sent  to  obtain  a  perfect  Knowledge  of 
the  Business,  not  only  on  your  own  account,  but  to  promulgate 
it  thro'  the  States,  the  Board  make  no  Doubt  of  your  diligently 
&  manually  applying  yourselves  to  the  Task  you  have  under- 
taken. We  have  too  good  an  Opinion  of  you  all  to  suppose  it 
will  be  necessary  to  impress  this  Sentiment  upon  you;  because 
should  there  be  any  who  are  negligent  or  averse  to  being 
taught,  the  Board  are  Satisfied,  as  Men  regarding  the  Interest  of 
your  Country,  you  would  return  to  your  other  Duty,  &  put  some 
other  Person  in  a  situation  so  desirable  as  that  you  are  now  in. 
The  time  you  have  been  at  Carlisle  was  one  Argument  with  the 
Board,  added  to  their  anxiety  to  have  the  Laboratory  Art  more 
generally  Known,  which  induced  them  to  write  to  Capt.  Coren 
on  the  subject,  &  we  shall  be  happy  to  hear,  on  your  Return 
to  Camp,  as  we  no  Doubt  we  shall,  that  the  Knowledge  you 
have  gained  by  your  residence  at  Carlisle  is  equal  to  the  Ex- 
pectation formed  when  the  Measure  of  sending  you  there  was 
adopted.  If  there  is  any  Inequality  in  your  Acquirements,  it 
will  be  found  that  those  know  most  who  have  done  most  Work. 
The  greatest  military  Characters  have  thought  Nothing  too 
minute  or  too  laborious.     The  great  Turenne  carried  a  Musket

seeing  a  ship  built,  but  employed  himself  as  a  common  labourer 
in  the  lowest  and  most  laborious  Parts  of  the  Business.  We 
have,  from  an  anxious  Desire  that  you  should  gain  every  possi- 
ble Knowledge  of  the  Laboratory  Art,  gone  farther  into  this 
Subject  than  was  necessary,  more  especially  as  you  were  se- 
lected by  His  Excellency  General  Washington's  express  Direc- 
tions, as  Persons  who  would  diligently  attend  to  the  Matter  you 
have  undertaken.  The  Board,  therefore,  can  have  no  Doubt 
but  that  you  will  use  every  Exertion,  as  the  Eyes  of  so  many 
are  upon  you. 

I  am.  with  Regard,  your  obed.  Servant,

Instructions  to  the  Artillery. 

Morristown,  January  14,  1780. 

Sir:  You  are  to  take  the  direction  of  two  S^^  howitzers,  and 
four  6-pounders,  which  are  to  be  taken  from  the  Park.  As  the 
ammunition  for  the  howitzers  is  in  your  possession,  you  are  to 
take  the  whole  of  it  agreeable  to  the  return  you  made  to  me, 
and  ten  case-shot  for  each  and  flannel  cartridge  must  be  added. 
If  you  have  no  case-shot,  Sergt.  Briant  of  the  3d  battalion  has 
the  charge  of  some,  which  are  in  Lieut.  Elmer's  hns.  It  must 
be  equally  divided,  and  put  into  two  sleds  or  waggons,  or 
tumbrilles  if  sleds  cannot  be  provided.  Each  6-pounder  must 
have  70  round-shot  fixed,  and  20  case,  with  a  full  proportion 
of  tube,  port-fires,  &c.,  also  an  ax. 

You  will  have  delivered  to  you  some  fire-balls  for  the  how- 
itzers, and  some  bavins  or  reeds  which  you  will  use,  if  you  are 
ordered  to  set  fire  to  any  buildings.  There  are  to  be  two  officers, 
and  twenty-two  non-commissioned  and  privates  to  each  piece, 
which  is  also  to  have  two  setts  of  drag-ropes.  You  will  have 
drawn  immediately  three  days'  baked  bread  and  salt  provisions, 
and  rum.  If  sleds  can  be  provided,  the  ammunition  waggons 
(one  for  each  piece),  are  to  be  placed  on  them  to  transport  the 
ammunition. 

The  cannon  also  are  to  be  placed  on  sleds  and  drawn  to  the 
place  of  action,  and  there  taken  off,  but  as  soon  as  the  firing 
shall  be  finished,  to  be  put  on  again;  for  which  reason  the  sleds 
must  be  used  as  limbers,  and  put  in  the  charge  of  a  trusty 
sergeant.  If  this  method  should  not  be  thought  to  be  the  best, 
the  horses  must  be  put  to  the  cannon  at  the  place  you  shall 
receive  your  further  orders  from  Lord  Stirling.  Sleds  will  also 
be  provided,  if  possible  to  transport  the  officers  and  men,  in 
order  to  prevent  their  being  too  much  fatigued. 

As  soon  as  you  have  everything  in  readiness,  which  must  be 
by  twelve  or  one  o'clock  this  day,  at  farthest,  you  will  proceed 
to  Elizabeth  Town,  and  wait  on  Lord  Stirling,  who  will  be 
there,  or  Gen.  Irvine,  for  further  orders.* 

You  will  easily  perceive,  by  the  tenor  of  these  instructions, 
that  the  service  you  are  going  upon  is  a  secret.  You  must  not, 
therefore  as  you  value  your  reputation  as  a  soldier  and  a  man 
of  honor,  give  the  least  information,  directly  or  indirectly, 
either  to  officer,  soldier,  or  any  other  person,  of  the  place  of 
your  destination  or  your  suspicion  of  the  service  you  are  going 

*Your  march  must  be  so  regulated  as  to  be  at  Elizabeth  Town  by  ten 
or  eleven   o'clock   this  night.

upon.  If  you  are  asked  any  questions,  you  may  tell  them  it 
is  expected  the  enemy  are  coming  out,  and  you  are  going  upon 
the  line  to  join  the  troops,  to  be  in  readiness  to  receive  them. 

You  will  inform  Lord  Stirling  or  Gen.  Irvine  that  you  have 
the  combustibles  before  mentioned. 

It  will  be  highly  proper,  if  there  be  any  public  forage  at 
Springfield,  that  you  should  put  some  on  your  sleds  to  feed 
your  horses  when  you  halt.

Board  of  War  to  Capt.  Craig. 

War  Office,  April  20,  1780. 

Sir:  In  answer  to  your  request  of  tiiis  day  for  sundry  matters 
relative  to  your  march  to  Fort  Pitt,  we  have  to  inform  you— 

Forage  is  to  be  obtained  in  the  usual  way  at  the  several  posts 
by  application  to  the  quarter  and  forage-masters. 

You  have  herewith  an  order  on  the  several  quarter-masters 
to  supply  you  with  the  necessary  teams  and  carriages  for  con- 
veying to  Fort  Pitt  the  artillery  and  stores  under  your  care, 
and  a  particular  order  on  Col.  Davis,  at  Carlisle,  fcfr  that  pur- 
pose, and  the  supply  of  horse  shoes  and  any  other  articles  nec- 
essary for  repairing  the  carriages  on  the  way. 

The  eight  men  of  Capt.  Coren's  company  at  Carlisle  and  Fort 
Pitt  or  other  place  westward  of  Philadelphia,  you  will  take 
with  you,  and  cause  them  to  do  duty  in  your  company,  sub- 
ject, however,  to  the  future  orders  of  the  board  or  of  the  Com- 
mander-in-Chief. 

As  we  expect,  in  a  few  days,  a  complete  arrangement  of  the 
artillery,  we  think  it  inexpedient,  at  this  time,  to  issue  a  com- 
mission to  Capt.  Lieut.  Lloyd.  As  soon  as  we  get  the  arrange- 
ment we  will  make  out  and  transmit  his  commission. 

We  have  no  money,  nor  can  we  get  any  to  defray  the  ex- 
penses of  your  march.  If  Col.  Flower,  C.  G.  of  U.  S.,  thinks 
it  reasonable  to  make  you  an  allowance  for  conducting  the  ar-

tillery  and  stores  to  Fort  Pitt,  we  shall  not  object  to  it;  the 
money  so  allowed  you  to  be  applied  in  the  same  manner  as  if 
given  to  a  conductor  of  military  stores. 

We  are,  Sir,  your  most  obed't  servants, 

By  order  of  ye  board,

Board  of  War  to  Capt.  Craig. 

War  Office,  April  20th,  1780. 

Sir;  You,  having  under  your  charge  a  quantity  of  artillery 
&  artillery  stores  destined  for  Fort  Pitt,  all  quarter-masters 
and  forage-masters  on  the  route  are  hereby  directed  to  furnish 
you  with  the  necessary  forage  for  your  horses,  and  also  with 
horses  to  replace  any  that  shall  fail  on  the  march.  We  expect 
you  will  use  this  order  with  great  prudence  &  economy,  that 
the  distresses  of  the  public  may  not  be  increased,  but  in  case 
of  absolute  necessity. 

We  are,  Sir,  y'r  obed't  Servants, 
By  order  of  ye  board,

Orders  of  the  Supreme  Executive  Council, 

In  Council,  Philadelphia,  April  24th,  1780. 
To  all  concerned: 

Capt,  Craig,  ordered  by  his  Excellency  Gen'l  Washington,  to 
Pittsburgh,  with  artillery  and  stores,  applied  to  the  Council  for 
aid  and  assistance  therein;  on  consideration. 

Ordered,  That  the  Lieutenants,  Sub-Lieutenants,  Justices  of 
the  Peace,  and  others  of  the  respective  counties  thro'  which 
Capt.  Craig  shall  pass,  do  give  him  such  aid  &  assistance  in 
transporting  the  said  stores  &  artillery  as  the  occasion  may  re- 
quire.

Col.  Broadhead  to  Capt.  Craig. 

Head  Quarters,  Fort  Pitt,  May  13,  1780. 

Sir:  It  is  some  weeks  since  his  Excellency,  the  Commander- 
in-Chief,  and  the  Honorable  Board  of  War  wrote  me  that  you 
were  ordered  to  this  department  with  a  number  of  cannon  and 
military  stores.  I  am  aware  of  the  difficulties  you  must  meet 
with  in  obtaining  carriage,  &c.,  to  enable  you  to  proceed  ex- 
peditiously, yet  as  the  enemy  are  very  troublesome  to  the  set- 
tlement, and  it  is  becoming  highly' expedient  for  me  to  counter- 
act their  designs  by  some  offensive  operation,  I  must  request 
you  to  exert  yourself  as  much  as  possible  to  reach  this  point 
before  the  1st  of  June.  It  will  be  very  hazardous  to  come  up 
the  Pennsylvania  road,  wherefore  you  are  to  come  up  the 
Virginia  road,  and  if  you  find  that  the  artillery  and  stores  will 
be  too  much  exposed  upon  any  part  of  that  road,  you  will  halt 
and  give  me  notice,  to  that  a  sufiicient  convoy  may  be  sent  you. 
I  wish  you  to  send  me  by  the  first  conveyance  a  return  of  your 
strength  and  of  the  number  and  calibres  of  your  ordnance,  and 
the  quantity  of  stores  you  have  with  you,  or  expect  to  be  for- 
warded, that  in  case  of  deficiency  I  may  make  further  appli- 
cations. 

I  have  the  honor  to  be,  with  respect, 

Your  most  obed't  serv't,

means  of  transportation  can  be  procured." — Penn'a  Archives.

the  artillery  officer  [Capt.  Craig],  to  hurry  up  the  artillery 
and  stores,  but  I  hear  he  is  badly  furnished  with  carriages 
and  forage,  which  must  prevent  his  marching  with  the  expe- 
dition"—lb  234  And  June  29,  1780.  "The  artillery  has  arrived,

Orders  for  Major  Craig. 

Fort  Pitt,  November  11,  1780. 
Sir:  I  have  received  intelligf^nce,  through  various  channels, 
that  the  British  have  established  a  post  at  Lower  Sandusky, 
and  also  information  that  it  is  suspected  they  intend  erecting 
one  at  either  Cuyahoga  creek  or  Grand  river.  But  as  these 
acounts  are  not  from  persons  of  military  knowledge,  nor  to  be 
fully  relied  on  in  any  particular,  and  I  am  anxious  to  have  the 
facts  well  established,  you  will,  therefore,  proceed  with  Lieut. 
Rose,  my  Aid-de-Camp,  and  six  active  men  in  order  to  recon- 
noitre these  places,  particularly  Cuyahoga.  As  your  party  is 
50  small,  you  will  use  every  possible  precaution  to  avoid  of 


S70  CONTINENTAL  LINE. 

being  discovered,  which  service  I  expect  you  will  be  able  to 
perform,  as  they  will  probably  be  relaxed  in  discipline  at  this 
advanced  season  of  the  year.  When  you  have  reconnoitred 
these  posts  (if  any),  you  may  try  to  take  a  prisoner,  provided 
you  find  it  can  be  done  without  much  risque  of  losing  any  of 
your  party,  which  must  be  garded  against  at  all  costs,  as  it  is 
not  your  business  to  come  to  action.  My  reasons  for  allowing 
you  so  small  a  party  being  to  avoid  discovery.  I  know  your 
zeal  will  excite  you  to  go  to  lengths,  perhaps  even  beyond  your 
own  judgment,  in  order  to  effect  the  purposes  of  your  excursion. 
But,  notwithstanding  my  earnest  desire  to  obtain  accurate 
accounts  of  the  matters  mentioned  herein,  you  will  please  to 
keep  in  view  that  I  am  extremely  solicitous  that  every  man 
may  be  brought  back  safe,  and  that  one  man  falling  into  the 
hands  of  the  enemy,  may  not  only  ruin  your  whole  present 
business,  but  also  prevent  future  discoverys. 

As  it  may  become  necessary  for  you  to  detach  or  separate 
from  Mr.  Rose,  it  will  be  proper  for  you  to  give  him  a  certified 
copy  of  this  order. 

I  am,  sir,  your  obedient  humble  servant, 

WM.  IRVINE, 
B.  General. 

Major  Craig. 


Gen.  Washington  to  Capt.  Craig. 

Head-Quarters,  New  Windsor,  April  25th,  1781. 

Sir:  I  have  received  your  favor  of  the  15th.  The  present 
State  of  Col.  Proctor's  Regiment  does  not  admit  of  your  Com- 
pany's being  made  up  to  its  full  complement,  but  I  have,  by 
this  conveyance,  desired  General  St.  Clair  to  let  you  have  as 
many  men  as  will  put  you  on  a  level  with  the  others.  This  is 
all  that  can  be  done.  I  have  already  desired  the  Board  of  War 
to  send  six  Artificers  to  Fort  Pitt;  you  may  wait  upon  them 
yourself  with  this  Letter,  and  ask  three  or  four  more  if  they 
can  be  spared.  I  would  wish  the  enclosed  for  Gen'l  Clarke  and 
Col.  Brodhead,  to  reach  them  as  speedily  as  possible;  you  will 
be  pleased  to  take  charge  of  them  yourself,  if  you  do  not  meet 
with  a  good  opportunity  previous  to  the  time  you  intend  set- 
ting out. 

I  am,  Sir,  Your  Humble  servant, 

GO  WASHINGTON.

PENNSYLVANIA  ARTILLERY.  971 

From  a  return,  dated  March  22,  1782,  signed  by  Andrew  Por- 
ter, major  commanding  Pennsylvania  regiment  of  artillery, 
there  were  stationed  at  Lancaster  and  Carlisle,  two  majors,  five 
captains,  four  captain  leutenants,  two  first  lieutenants,  pay- 
master, quarter-master,  surgeon,  two  cadets,  one  surgeon's 
mate,  quarter-master  sergeant,  drum  major,  fife  major,  four 
musicians,  four  sergeants,  three  corporals,  one  bombardier,  six 
gunners,  seven  drums  and  fifes,  twenty-five  matrosses;  total, 
seventy.  At  Fort  Pict,  two  captains,  one  second  lieutenant, 
&c.;  total,  thirty-four.  In  the  Southern  army,  two  captains 
four  captain  lieutenants,  one  second  lieutenant,  adjutant,  non 
commissioned  officers  and  privates,  one  hundred  and  twenty 
one;  making  total  strength  of  the  regiment  two  hundred  and 
thirty-five. 

The  return  from  Fort  Pitt  is  dated  July  26,  1782;  the  return 
from  the  Southern  army,  November  IQ,  1781. 

After  the  surrender  of  Cornwallis,  three  companies  of  the 
artillery  were  detached  to  the  Southern  army,  under  Gen. 
Greene.  A  return,  found  amoag  the  Hand  papers,  dated  at 
James  Island,  S.  C,  January  31,  1783,  indicates  the  strength 
of  this  detachment  as  follows: 

Capt.  Ferguson's  company 21 

Price's  company,   14 

McClure's  company,   25 

In  June,  1784,  when  Congress  called  for  a  regiment  partially 
infantry  and  artillery,  Pennsylvania  immediately  furnished 
its  quota,  and  on  the  13th  of  August,  Thomas  Douglass  was 
appointed  captain,  and  Joseph  Ashtou,  lieutenant  of  the  ar- 
tillery company,  by  the  Supreme  Executive  Council  of  Penn- 
sylvania, ine  following  year,  Capt.  Thomas  Douglass  was 
dropped,  and  Capt.  William  Ferguson  superseded  him,  Oc- 
tober 20,  1788,  apparently  upon  a  claim  of  rank,  (Col.  Records, 
vol.  xiv,  page  559  and  621),  which  gives  some  ground  for  the 
claim  made  by  the  descendants  of  Major  William  Ferguson, 
that  he  was  never  out  of  the  service  of  his  country  from  the 
day  he  entered  the  ranks  as  a  private  of  Procter's  First  com- 
pany of  Pennsylvania  artillery,  until  as  commandant  of  ar- 
tillery of  Gen.  St.  Clair's  army,  he  fell  by  his  guns  in  the  dis- 
astrous battle  of  November  4,   1791. 

According  to  Prof.  Asa  Bird  Gardner's  letter  to  the  Editors 
the  artillery  of  Lieut.  Col.  Harmar's  "1st  American  Regiment 
was  organized  into  a  battalion  by  itself;  in  1786,  two  new  com- 
panies from  Massachusetts  added,  and  Capts.  Douglass'  or 
Ferguson's  company  is  still  in  existence  as  the  Second  Com- 
pany of  Artillery  of  the  present  United  States  Army."

This  corps,  as  it  was  called  at  first,  was  raised  by  the  di- 
rections of  Gen.  Washington,  in  the  summer  of  1777.  Ben- 
jamin Flower,  formerly  commissary  of  military  stores  of  the 
Flying  Camp  in  1776,  was  made  colonel  and  commissary  of 
military  stores.  Very  few  of  its  records  remain.  Capt.  Jesse 
Roe's  company  was  one  of  the  original  companies.  Companies 
were  stationed  at  Carlisle  and  Philadelphia,  and  their  duties 
were  to  cast  cannon,  bore  guns,  and  prepare  ammunition  for 
the  army.
