Rhode  Island's  Share  in  the  War 


*f  The  conflict  of  French  and  EngHsh  interests  in  the  Ohio 

V  Valley  served  as  the  prelude,  and  Washington's  defeat  of 
i;*  Jumonville  near  Fort  Du  Quesne  on  May  27th  1754  as  the 
spark,  which  ignited  the  fourth  French  war  in  which  Rhode 
i  Island  participated.  This  struggle  called  by  European  his- 
torians "The  Seven  Years  War"  is  better  known  in  America 
as  "The  Old  French  and  Indian  War."  Military  preparations 
were  made  in  both  England  and  France  as  well  as  in  the 
Colonies. 

On  January  ist  1755  the  Rhode  Island  General  Assemble 
voted  to  raise  a  company  of  100  men  for  the  emergency.  As 
is  usual,  the  length  and  intensity  of  the  impending  struggle 
was  underestimated.  In  February  the  number  was  increased 
to  113,  apparently  to  allow  for  officers,  some  of  whom  were 
appointed.  A  committee  of  War  of  five  men  was  established 
to  manage  the  military  afifairs  of  the  Colony. 

In  March  1755,  before  the  100  men  had  been  enlisted,  it 
was  voted  to  raise  four  companies  of  100  men  each  to  take 
part  in  the  secret  expedition  against  Crown  Point.  The  acts 
calling  for  113  men  were  repealed  and  the  officers  transferred 
to  the  new  companies.  Christopher  Harris  was  appointed 
Colonel  of  this  expeditionary  regiment. 

Meanwhile  Braddock  had  landed  in  Virginia  and  taken 
command  of  the  English  forces  in  America.  He  planned  to 
strike  the  French  at  three  points.  The  southern  army,  under 
his  personal  command,  was  to  attack  Fort  Du  Quesne,  and  the 
northern  army  was  to  assemble  at  Albany,  whence  one  detach- 
ment under  Governor  Shirley  was  to  attack  Niagara,  while 
the  other,  under  Colonel  (later  Sir)  WiUiam  Johnson,  was  to 
move  against  Crown  Point. 

The  Rhode  Island  regiment  under  Col.  Harris  marched 
to  Green-Bush  near  Albany,  where  their  boats  were  caulked 
.  and  their  guns  cleaned  and  mended. 


On  August  8th,  leaving  the  Rhode  Island  and  New  York 
regiments  in  camp,  Johnson  marched  northward  with  the  rest 
of  the  army.  He  left  a  garrison  at  Fort  Lyman  (afterwards 
called  Fort  Edward  in  honor  of  the  Duke  of  York),  and 
continuing  northward  encamped  at  the  upper  end  of  Lake 
George.  The  Rhode  Island  regiment  was  at  Albany  on 
August  24th,  but  soon  followed  the  main  army  and  reached  the 
camp  late  in  August  or  early  in  September. 

Baron  Dieskau,  commander  of  the  army,  which  had  been 
sent  over  from  France,  and  which  had  been  augmented  by 
Canadians    and    Indians,    marched    southward    through    the 
woods  east  of  Lake  George.    Upon  the  news  of  the  approach 
of  the  French,  Johnson  sent  out  Col.  Ephraim  Williams  and 
the   Indian   Chief   Hendricks   with   a   scouting  party   in  the 
direction  of  South  Bay  on  September  8th.     This  force  was 
surprised  by  Dieskau,  and  in  the    fighting    which    followed, 
both  Williams*  and  Hendricks  were  killed.     Re-enforcements 
under  the  command  of  Lt.  Col.  Edward  Cole  of  the  Rhode 
Island   regiment   arrived   in   time   to    rescue   the   remnant   of 
Williams'  force  and  to  hold  the  French  in  check  temporarily, 
thus  giving  Johnson  time  to  strengthen  the  defences  of  the 
camp.     Dieskau    attacked    the    camp  at    10    o'clock    in    the 
morning   (September  8,   1755),  and  the  fighting  lasted  until 
four  in  the  afternoon,  when  the  French  force  was  dispersed. 
Both  Johnson  and  Dieskau  were  wounded,  the  latter    being 
taken   prisoner.     Johnson   did   not   pursue  the    fugitives,   but 
fortified  the  camp  which  he  named  Fort  WiUiam  Henry  in 
honor  of  the  Duke  of  Gloucester,  the  king's  grandson. 

Four  Rhode  Island  companies  took  part  in  this  battle  of 
September  8,  1755,  known  as  the  Battle  of  Lake  George. 
They  were  the  companies  commanded  by  Cole,  Angell,  Bab- 
cock  and  Francis. 

On  account  of  Braddock's  defeat  before  Fort  Du  Quesne, 
The  General  Assembly  voted  on  August  nth,  to  raise  three 
more  companies  of  fifty  men  each  and  to  send  them  to 
re-enforce   Col.    Harris'    troops,    and    thus    strengthen    the

Colonial  Army  against  the  added  number  of  French  troops, 
which  being  freed  from  service  in  the  Monongahela  Valley, 
would  doubtless  be  rushed  northward  to  Lake  Champlain. 
This  vote  for  additional  companies  was  not  passed  without 
opposition,  and  seven  deputies  including  the  Speaker,  had  their 
dissent  from  the  vote,  recorded  in  the  acts  and  resolves.  John 
Whiting  was  ranking  Captain  of  this  detachment,  which  was 
recruited  before  September  8th,  on  which  day  the  General 
Assembly  ordered  them  to  proceed  to  Albany  by  water  and 
thence  from  Albany  to  the  force  under  Col.  Harris.  Many  of 
Col.  Harris'  troopers,  disgusted  by  the  hardships  of  the  march 
overland  and  little  realizing  the  scope  and  importance  of  the 
conflict  had  deserted.  These  men  upon  their  return  home 
were  added  to  Capt.  Whiting's  command,  and  ordered  to 
proceed  subject  to  his  orders  until  they  should  reach  the  camp 
and  re-enter  their  respective  companies. 

In  September  Rhode  Island  voted  to  raise  four  more 
companies  of  50  men  each.  Daniel  Bosworth  was  appointed 
ranking  Captain  of  this  third  detachment.  Inasmuch  as  the 
war  was  not  particularly  popular  in  Rhode  Island,  and  as  the 
danger  to  the  Colony  was  not  imminent,  volunteers  were  not 
forthcoming  in  numbers  sufficient  to  fill  the  companies  that 
had  been  authorized,  although  bounties  had  been  offered  to 
encourage  enlistment.  Hence  the  General  Assembly  at  the 
September  session  found  it  necessary  to  pass  an  act 
authorizing  conscription.  Thenceforth  during  the  war  the 
Rhode  Island  regiments  consisted  partly  of  volunteers,  many 
of  whom  were  attracted  by  the  bounties,  and  partly  of 
conscripts.  In  1755  Rhode  Island  put  approximately  750  men 
in  the  field. 

Late  in  November  Johnson  marched  southward  with  the 
main  part  of  the  army,  which  either  went  into  winter  quarters 
or  returned  home.  Seventy-two  Rhode  Islanders  commanded 
by  Capt.  Whiting  were  left  on  garrison  duty  at  the  Forts  near 
Lake  George.  The  campaign  of  1755  had  been  unfortunate 
in  the  Colonies.  Braddock's  expedition  had  been  defeated, 
Shirley's  expedition  had  done  but  little,  and  although  Johnson 


had  repelled  an  attack,  he  had  not  even  approached  Crown 
Point,  his  avowed  objective.  On  December  22d  the  General 
Assembly  voted  that  loo  of  the  best  men  with  (apparently 
13)  suitable  officers  be  selected  from  the  troops  returned  and 
returning  from  the  Expedition  against  Crown  Point  and  that 
the  remainder  be  discharged.  Besides  this  100  men,  72,  as 
already  noted,  were  detailed  for  garrison  duty  at  Fort  Edward 
and  Fort  William  Henry,  under  Capt.  Whiting.  The  remain- 
der of  the  troops  were  ordered  discharged  on  or  before 
December  31st,   1755. 

Shirley,  chief  commander  of  the  English  forces  in 
America  determined  on  a  vigorous  campaign  for  1756.  He 
planned  to  move  against  Niagara  with  one  part  of  his  force 
and  to  send  the  other  part  commanded  by  (Gen.)  John 
Winslow  against  Lake  Champlain.  In  February  Rhode  Island 
voted  to  raise  a  force  of  500  men  (including  those  still  in 
service)  for  the  reduction  of  the  French  forts  on  Lake 
Champlain.  Col.  Harris  was  given  command  of  this  regiment, 
which  consisted  of  10  companies. 

The  Rhode  Island  troops  went  by  water,  touching  at 
New  York,  and  arriving  at  Albany  on  Friday  evening.  May 
14th,  1756,  according  to  a  letter  of  George  Hopkins.  The 
regiment  moved  to  Camp  Half  Moon  before  June  29th  where 
all  the  Rhode  Island  companies,  except  two.  Major  Babcock's 
and  Capt.  Bozerd's  (Bosworth),  had  arrived  by  June  nth. 
The  Rhode  Islanders  were  soon  scattered,  some  being  at  Fort 
William  Henry,  and  Edward,  while  others  were  at  Stillwater, 
Camp  Half  Moon,  and  Albany.  Many  were  still  at  Camp 
Half  Moon  on  July  nth  but  the  bulk  soon  moved  up  to  Fort 
Edward,  where  they  were  on  July  22d  and  had  been  four 
weeks  on  August  14th,  according  to  Hopkins. 

Meanwhile  preparations  for  the  campaign  had  been 
pushed  in  Europe.  Louis  XV  sent  the  Marquis  of  Mont- 
calm to  command  his  forces  in  America  and  George  II 
sent  the  Earl  of  Loudon.  On  May  17th,  1756,  two  years 
after  the  defeat  of  Jumonville  by  Washington,  England 
formally     declared     war    against     France.       Prussia     under 


Frederick  the  Great  had  made  an  alliance  with  England,  and 
Austria  had  made  an  alliance  with  France.  Europe  was  to 
be  a  more- bloody  battlefield  than  America.  Sweden,  Russia 
and  Poland  soon  joined  France  and  Austria. 

The  Earl  of  Loudon  reached  New  York  in  July  and 
relieved  Shirley  of  the  chief  command.  This  change  together 
with  Loudon's  inefficiency  doomed  the  campaign  of  1756  to 
failure.  On  July  24th  Col.  Angell  of  the  Rhode  Island 
regiment  commanded  a  scouting  party  of  300  men  that  went 
out  from  Fort  Edward  towards  South  Bay  and  Wood  Creek. 

The  Rhode  Island  General  Assembly,  expecting  a 
vigorous  campaign  ordered  two  additional  companies  of  50 
men  each,  exclusive  of  officers,  in  June.  These  troops  were 
commanded  by  Captains  Jenckes  and  Fry,  and  joined  the 
force  under  Harris. 

In  August  Montcalm  attacked  and  captured  the  English 
forts  on  the  Oswego  River  and  then  returned  to  check  any 
advance  which  might  be  attempted  by  the  English  at  Lake 
George. 

Conditions  rapidly  became  more  threatening  for  the 
English  colonies.  Another  company  of  60  men  and  officers 
was  authorized  by  the  General  Assembly  in  September  and 
Joseph  Windsor  was  given  the  command,  but  this  company  was 
merged  in  the  new  regiment  of  400  men,  (eight  companies) 
which  was  ordered  in  October.  The  Governor,  Stephen 
Hopkins  was  chosen  Colonel  of  this,  the  2nd  Regiment, 
known  as  "The  400  men,"  but  on  October  27th  the  General 
Assembly  met  and  ordered  them  not  to  march  on  account  of 
the  fact  that  Small  Pox  was  rife  at  Albany.  By  orders  from 
Loudon  this  regiment  was  discharged  on  or  before  Nov. 
8th  1756. 

Some  of  the  Rhode  Island  troops  at  Fort  Edward  had 
been  sent  up  to  Fort  William  Henry  where  Quarter-Master 
Shehan  was  located  on  Nov.  9th,  1756.  The  companies 
commanded  by  Harris,  Angell,  Potter  and  Jenckes,  returned 
to  Providence  in  December  and  were  paid  off  in  December 


8 

and  January.  The  other  companies  may  have  been  discharged 
at  the  same  time  but  their  pay  rolls  have  not  been  located. 

The  defeat  of  the  English  at  Oswego  vv^a^s  the  only 
noteworthy  feature  of  the  campaign  of  1756.  Several  Newport 
shipwrights  who  were  on  special  construction  service  at 
Oswego  were  captured  by  the  French. 

In  February  1757  Rhode  Island  ordered  a  five  company 
regiment  of  450  men  to  assist  Loudon  in  the  ensuing 
campaign.  Samuel  Angell  was  appointed  "Chief  Officer" 
(i.  e.  Colonel)  of  this  force  which  in  May  proceeded  to 
Albany.  Meanwhile  in  March  the  French  under  Rigaud 
attempted  unsuccessfully  to  surprise  Fort  William  Henry, 
and  Loudon  prepared  his  futile  expedition  against  Louisburg. 

In  May  an  act  for  raising  150  more  men  was  passed  by 
the  Rhode  Island  General  Assembly  at  its  May  session,  but 
was  repealed  in  August  before  the  companies  were  raised. 
Some  of  the  Rhode  Islanders  under  Angell  were  stationed 
at  Fort  Edward,  while  others  were  at  Fort  William  Henry. 

Montcalm  had  not  been  idle  during  the  spring,  but  had 
collected  a  large  force  with  the  main  part  of  which  he  sailed 
up  Lake  George,  while  the  balance  of  the  force  under  De  Levis 
marched  along  the  west  shore  of  the  Lake.  Fort  William 
Henry  was  surrounded  by  the  French  but  held  out  until 
word  was  received  from  Gen.  Webb,  who  was  stationed  at 
Fort  Edward,  that  he  would  not  send  assistance.  Munro,  the 
commander  of  Fort  William  Henry  was  therefore  obliged  to 
surrender  on  August  9th,  1757.  A  large  number  of  the 
English  soldiers  were  massacred  by  the  Indians  on  August 
loth,  although  about  600  refugees  succeeded  in  reaching  Fort 
Edward. 

Col.  Angell  who  was  at  Fort  Edward  wrote  to  Governor 
Greene  on  August  14th  and  described  the  attack  on  Fort 
William  Henry  in  the  following  words : 

"On  the  3d  inst.,  at  five  o'clock,  in  the  morning,  the  fort 
and  camp  were  invested  by  Canadians  and  Indians ;  and  at 
the  same  time,  a  large  body  of  boats  and  canoes  appeared  on 
the  lake  near,  while  our  camp  was  attacked  by  a  superior 


number  of  the  enemy.  They  landed  their  artillery  the  same 
day.  Our  rangers  brought  in  one  of  their  lieutenants  prisoner, 
who  gave  account  of  their  strength  consisted  of  three  thousand 
regulars,  five  thousand  Canadians,  and  three  thousand  five 
hundred  savages,  thirty-six  cannon,  and  four  mortars. 

"The  siege  continued  obstinate  till  the  ninth  day  at  six 
o'clock  in  the  morning,  when  all  the  cannon,  bigger  than 
twelve  pounders,  were  broken ;  the  men  in  camp  and  garrison, 
spent  with  fatigue.  They  capitulated  on  honorable  terms,  viz. : 
that  they  should  march  to  this  place  with  a  brass  twelve 
pounder  in  the  front,  and  their  fire-locks  clubbed,  and  colors 
flying,  with  all  their  baggage.  This  was  agreed  to,  and 
articles  signed.  General  Montcalm  and  other  principal  officers 
of  his  army,  expressed  and  acknowledged  that  they  had  made 
a  defence  beyond  expectation,  and  for  those  reasons,  he 
allowed  them  as  good  terms  as  General  Blakeney  had.  The 
articles  obliged  our  men  not  to  bear  arms  till  eighteen  months 
were  expired. 

"The  morning  following,  our  men  were  to  march  with  a 
strong  guard  of  regulars,  to  keep  the  savages  from  insulting 
them.  When  our  people  began  to  draw  up  for  a  march,  the 
horrible  scene  of  massacre  then  began,  by  the  savages  scalping 
our  sick  and  wounded  men ;  next,  by  their  drawing  out  all 
the  black  men,  scalping  the  Indians  and  keeping  the  negroes 
for  slaves.  All  this  did  not  satisfy  them;  but  they  went  to 
stripping  and  scalping  without  distinction ;  which  put  our  men 
to  the  flight,  each  man  for  himself — having  no  protection 
agreeably  to  the  articles.  They  all  scattered  in  the  woods ;  the 
Indians  following  them  several  miles.  Our  men  have  been 
coming  in  since  eleven  o'clock,  that  day,  till  this  morning,  by 
single  persons  and  small  parties;  not  a  man  but  is  stripped; 
some,  quite  naked. 

"There  are  yet  behind  several  hundred;  many  of  whom, 
it  is  known,  are  sick,  and  many,  it  is  thought,  will  perish  in 
the  woods.  This  minute,  a  deserter  from  the  French  says 
that  above  two  hundred  of  our  men  went  back  to  the  French 
for  protection.

"By  our  parties  just  came  in,  we  have  certain  accounts 
that  the  fort  is  destroyed ;  and  that  the  enemy  are  drawing 
off.  We  have  about  four  thousand  militia  here,  and  two 
thousand  troops." 

The  danger  by  which  Fort  William  Henry  was  threatened 
greatly  alarmed  the  Colony.  The  General  Assembly  met  on 
August  loth,  and  not  as  yet  having  heard  of  the  loss  of  Fort 
William  Henry,  passed  an  act  which  drafted  one  sixth  of  the 
militia  of  the  colony,  probably  about  looo  men,  for  service  in 
the  relief  of  Fort  William  Henry.  Col.  John  Andrews  was 
given  the  command  of  this  regiment.  On  August  15th  thirty- 
four  prominent  men  of  Providence  who  were  not  subject  to 
the  draft  volunteered  their  services  and  signed  a  paper  of 
that  import.  Of  a  muster  roll  of  113  men  who  marched  out 
of  Newport  County  in  answer  to  this  call,  21  were  volunteers. 

This  Second  Rhode  Island  regiment  went  no  farther  than 
Connecticut,  when  news  was  received  that  Fort  William 
Henry  had  fallen.  The  men  returned  home  and  the  October 
Assembly  after  regulating  their  pay  for  this  service,  voted  to 
re-enlist  250  men  for  service  in  the  army  during  the  pleasure 
of  the  General  Assembly. 

Ninety  of  these  did  garrison  service  at  Saratoga.  Capt. 
Ebenezer  Whiting  was  given  the  command  of  those  who  were 
garrisoned  at  Fort  Edward  during  the  winter. 

If  the  campaign  of  1756  had  disheartened  the  English, 
that  of  1757  was  still  more  discouraging.  The  expedition 
against  Louisburg  had  come  to  naught.  Fort  William  Henry 
had  been  lost,  and  from  Europe  came  the  still  more 
discouraging  news  that  the  Duke  of  Cumberland  had  been 
decisively  defeated  by  D'Estrees. 

As  well  as  sending  the  quota  to  the  Colonial  contingent, 
Rhode  Island  had  strengthened  and  garrisoned  Fort  George 
at  Newport,  and  had  also  equipped  and  sent  forth  many 
privateers  which  had  made  severe  and  telling  inroads  upon  the 
enemy's  maritime  commerce. 

The  following  letter  gives  a  concise  description  of  the 
conditions  in  the  Colony  in  1758; 


ii 

"We  the  Commissioners  from  the  Government  of  Rhode 
Island,  being  ordered  to  lay  before  your  Lordship,  an  exact 
State  of  the  Colony,  with  Regard  to  its  Fortifications  and 
Military  Stores,  the  Number  of  Inhabitants,  the  State  of  the 
Treasury,  and  Funds  for  supplying  the  same,  beg  Leave  to 
represent  to  your  Lordship,  that  there  is  only  one  Fortification 
in  the  Colony,  called  Fort  George,  very  conveniently  situated 
for  the  Defence  of  the  Town  and  Harbour  of  Newport,  which 
is  the  Metropolis  of  the  Colony.  But  as  there  are  in  the  Fort 
only  twenty-six  Carriage  Guns  fit  for  Service,  and  a  few 
other  Military  Stores,  it  is  to  be  feared  the  Town  might  be 
entirely  destroyed  by  a  very  small  Force,  and  the  Colony 
thereby  disabled  from  raising  any  more  Men  for  the  common 
Cause.  And  of  what  fatal  Consequence  it  might  be  to  His 
Majesty's  Interest,  to  have  the  Enemy  in  Possession  of  so 
fine  a  Harbour  and  Island,  situate  in  the  Midst  of  New 
England,  we  leave  your  Lordship  to  judge. 

"By  an  Account  of  the  Number  of  Men  in  the  Colony, 
taken  the  24th  of  December,  One  Thousand  Seven  Hundred 
and  Fifty-five,  it  appears,  my  Lord,  there  were  then  in  the 
Colony,  Eight  Thousand  Two  Hundred  and  Sixty-two  Men, 
able  to  bear  Arms.  But  as  we  have  since  lost  many  Men  by 
the  War,  and  near  Fifteen  Hundred  Men  are  out  in  our  Priva- 
teers, we  imagine  there  is  not  near  that  Number  now  left  in 
the  Colony." 

In  March,  1758,  the  General  Assembly  voted  to  raise  a 
regiment  of  1000  men.  Col.  Malbone  was  given  the  command 
of  this  regiment,  which  was  to  consist  of  nine  new  companies 
and  the  company  under  Capt.  Ebenezer  Whiting,  which  was  in 
garrison  service  at  the  Forts.  Malbone  was  succeeded  by 
Henry  Babcock  as  Colonel,  before  the  regiment  moved.  The 
troops  went  to  Albany  by  water.  During  March  and  April  a 
detachment  of  1853  of  His  Majesty's  regulars  were  quartered 
at  Providence  before  being  sent  against  Louisburg.  In  May, 
Amherst,  with  the  northern  army,  supported  by  the  fleet, 
marched  on  Louisburg;  in  June,  Forbes,  with  the  southern 
army,  proceeded  against  Fort  Du  Quesne;  and  on  July  5th 
Abercrombie,  with  15,000  English  and  Colonials,  including  the 


12 


Rhode  Island  companies,  except  those  under  Potter  and  Wall, 
moved  against  Ticonderoga.  Col.  Babcock's  description  of  the 
Battle  of  Ticonderoga,  being  that  of  an  eye  witness  and 
important  officer,  follows : 

"Lake  George,  loth  July,  1758, 

"Honored  Sir:— The  5th  inst.,  the  army  consisting  of 
fifteen  thousand  men,  proceeded  down  the  lake,  in  batteaux, 
with  thirty  days'  provision.  The  6th,  in  the  morning,  half 
after  eight,  we  landed  at  the  advance  guard ;  who  were  very 
easily  driven  from  their  post,  with  no  loss  on  our  side,  and  but 
four  on  theirs.  About  two  o'clock,  P.  M.,  the  whole  army 
marched,  saving  a  battalion  of  the  York  regiment,  who  were 
posted  as  a  guard  on  our  batteaux.  About  three  o'clock  we 
were  attacked  by  a  party  of  the  enemy,  in  which  engagement 
we  unfortunately  lost  the  brave  Lord  Howe.  There  were  taken 
of  the  enemy  one  hundred  prisoners,  eight  of  whom  were 
officers;  our  army  was  much  scattered  by  reason  of  the  firing 
m  the  woods,  and  it  was  thought  advisable  to  return  tha't 
evening  to  our  batteaux. 

"The  next  day  Col.  Broadstreet  was  ordered  with  fifteen 
hundred  batteaux  men,  and  two  regular  regiments,  with  five 
of  the  Massachusetts  regiments,  to  take  possession  of  the  saw 
mill,  which  we  did,  without  the  loss  of  a  man.  The  same 
evening,  the  whole  marched  up  to  the  saw  mill. 

"The  8th,  (the  fatal  8th,)  were  ordered  to  proceed  in  the 
following  manner:  the  batteaux  men,  light  armed  infantry,  and 
the  rangers,  were  ordered  to  form  a  line  about  two  hundred 
yards  from  the  French  entrenchments ;  which  extended  from 
Lake  George  to  Lake  Champlain ;  the  regulars  were  to  form  a 
Ime  behind  the  first  line ;  who,  after  they  were  formed  were  to 
pass  through  the  first  line,  they  making  avenues  for  them; 
after  that,  they  were  to  form  the  line  again.  A  captain  and 
fifty  men,  out  of  the  line,  were  detached  for  picket,  who  were 
to  form  in  front ;  the  grenadiers  were  to  form  behind  them ; 
and  in  this  manner,  they  were  to  attack  the  trenches,  and  were 
to  march  with  shouldered  firelocks,  till  they  should  get  on  top 
of  the  trenches. 

"They  accordingly  marched  on  with  great  intrepidity,  but 


13 

were  received  so  warmly,  that  they  were  obliged  to  give 
ground,  after  making  most  vigorous  efforts;  they  even  went  up 
to  the  breast-work,  but  were  knocked  down  so  fast,  that  it  was 
very  difficult  for  those  behind  to  get  over  the  dead  and 
wounded.  But  before  the  attack  of  the  regulars,  the  enemy 
began  with  firing  upon  the  Yorkers.  In  the  rear  of  the  regu- 
lars, the  Connecticut,  New  Jersey  and  Rhode  Island  troops 
were  ordered  to  form  about  three  hundred  yards  behind,  who 
were  to  support  them,  if  necessary. 

"About  an  hour  after  the  attack,  I  was  ordered  to  march 
with  the  regiment,  to  relieve  those  that  had  been  engaged.  We 
went  up  within  about  forty  yards  of  the  breast-work.  Soon 
after  I  got  up,  in  posting  my  regiment  to  the  best  advantage 
I  could,  I  received  a  shot  in  my  left  knee;  after  that,  finding 
myself  of  no  advantage,  I  ordered  two  men  to  carry  me  ofif, 
and  left  the  regiment  warmly  engaged.  We  have  lost  no  offi- 
cers. Capt.  John  Whiting,  Lieuts.  Russell  and  Smith  are 
slightly  wounded.  The  return  of  the  killed  and  wounded, 
Your  Honor  has  enclosed. 

"The  same  evening,  to  my  great  surprise,  the  whole  army 
was  ordered  to  return  to  the  batteaux,  to  the  great  mortifica- 
tion of  chief  of  the  officers ;  and  the  next  evening  we  arrived 
here. 

"Never  did  an  army  gain  more  advantage  in  so  little  time, 
whilst  the  late  Lord  Howe  was  alive ;  but  soon  after  that,  we 
became  a  confused  rabble.  We  have  lost  a  great  many  brave 
officers ;  in  Lord  Howe's  regiment,  all  the  field  officers  were 
killed. 

"Sir  William  Johnson  joined  us  four  hours  before  the 
engagement ;  but  the  Indians  not  being  used  to  attack  trenches, 
soon  came  off." 

Lord  Howe,  the  brains  of  the  English  army,  was  killed  in 
this  fight,  and  the  incompetent  Abercrombie  retreated  to  Fort 
William  Henry,  turning  a  potential  victory  into  an  unneces- 
sary defeat.  In  August  Col.  Bradstreet  marched  to  Oswego 
with  3000  men,  of  whom  312  were  Rhode  Islanders  under  Lt. 
Col.  Potter  and  Major  Wall.  This  expedition  captured  Fort 
Frontenac  on  August  25th,  destroyed  the  French  naval  power 


14 

on  Lake  Ontario,  and  cut  the  communication  between  Fort 
Du  Quesne  and  Canada,  thus  materially  assisting  the  southern 
army  under  Forbes,  which  so  seriously  threatened  Fort  Du 
Quesne  in  November,  that  the  garrison  destroyed  the  fortress 
and  retreated.  Meanwhile,  in  the  North,  Amherst  had  taken 
Louisburg. 

Some  of  the  Rhode  Island  soldiers  were  retained  in  ser- 
vice for  the  campaign  of  I7.S9,  and  a  call  for  new  enlistments 
was  made  in  December,  1758. 

On  February  26th,  1759,  the  Colony  voted  to  furnish  1000 
men  for  the  ensuing  campaign,  and  later  the  Assembly  ordered 
the  thirteen  companies  already  raised  to  proceed  to  Albany. 
Some  were  sent  by  boat,  while  others  marched  overland,  the 
rendezvous  being  ordered  for  April  loth.  The  quota  of  1000 
men  was  not  easily  raised,  and  in  May  a  bonus  of  two  months' 
pay  was  offered  for  enlistments.  Bonuses  were  also  offered  to 
seamen  who  should  enlist  in  H.  M.  navy. 

In  June  a  second  detachment  was  sent,  and  an  act  to 
raise  115  men  to  complete  the  regiment  was  ordered.  Amherst 
spent  the  summer  and  autumn  in  preparations,  and  when  he 
was  ready  to  move  northward,  the  season  had  become  too  cold. 
A  small  English  force  under  Prideaux  drove  the  French  from 
Niagara,  but  the  remainder  of  the  army  operating  in  the  Colo- 
nies accomplished  nothing.  Meanwhile  in  Canada  Wolfe  had 
brilliantly  defeated  Montcalm  on  September  i8th,  Quebec 
became  English, 

In  February,  1760,  the  Colony  voted  to  raise  1000  men 
for  the  Canadian  Expedition.  Christopher  Harris  was  made 
Colonel,  and  proceeding  to  Albany,  joined  the  force  under 
Lord  Amherst.  Many  of  the  soldiers,  fearing  the  hardships  of 
a  campaign  against  so  distant  a  place  as  Montreal,  deserted  on 
the  way  to  Albany.  Amherst  advanced  with  his  main  force 
through  Oswego,  across  Ontario  and  down  the  St.  Lawrence. 
Murray  came  up  the  river  from  Quebec,  while  Haviland  with 
many  Colonials,  including  the  Rhode  Island  contingent, 
approached  down  Lake  Champlain.  On  Sept.  8th,  1760,  Mont- 
real surrendered  to  the  English,  and  immediately  many  of  the 
Colonial  troops  "demobilized  themselves"  and  returned  home.

The  Rhode  Islanders  were  very  weary  of  the  war,  whose 
military  campaig^n  had  made  heavy  levies  of  both  men  and 
money,  and  although  adding  Canada  to  the  English  domains 
had  been  of  scant  benefit  to  the  Colony.  The  war  itself,  on 
account  of  the  enormous  profits  made  by  the  privateering  enter- 
prises, was  rather  popular  with  the  maritime  interests. 

In  March,  1761,  the  General  Assembly  voted  to  raise  666 
men  for  the  ensuing  campaign.  These  men  were  to  serve  until 
November  first  unless  the  campaign  ended  previously.  John 
Whiting  was  made  Colonel.  The  commissioned  officers,  as 
was  the  custom,  had  to  enlist  a  certain  number  of  men  in  order 
to  qualify  for  their  commission.  The  campaign  was  for  the 
most  part  garrison  duty.  In  October  Col.  Whiting  and  a  com- 
pany of  66  men  were  detailed  to  garrison  Fort  Stanwix,  and 
the  rest  of  the  Rhode  Islanders  returned  to  Albany  and  thence 
by  water  to  Providence. 

In  February,  1762,  the  Colony  voted  to  raise  666  men  for 
the  year's  campaign.  In  March  an  act  was  passed  to  raise  178 
men  for  H.  M.  regular  army.  Samuel  Rose  was  made  Colonel 
of  the  Rhode  Island  regiment.  The  first  detachment  was  hur- 
ried to  New  York  in  May  and  shipped  to  Cuba.  The  Rhode 
Island  contingent  was  commanded  by  Lt.  Col.  Hargill  and  con- 
sisted of  (187  or,  as  some  accounts  say,  210  men),  being  the 
first  detachments  of  the  companies  under  Hargill,  Fry,  and 
Russell.  The  remainder  of  the  regiment,  the  second  detach- 
ment, went  to  Albany  under  Col.  Rose.  Havana  was  captured 
by  the  Colonial  and  Regular  troops  on  August  13th,  1762.  and 
the  Rhode  Islanders  returned  home  in  November,  having  lost 
about  half  their  number  through  sickness  and  battle.  Another 
179  men  enlisted  in  H.  M.  regular  army  during  the  latter  part 
of  1762  and  early  part  of  1763.  Capt.  Cornell  with  66  men 
served  at  Fort  Stanwix  during  the  winter  of  1762-63,  but  were 
disbanded  in  July,  1763. 

In  the  later  years  of  the  war  the  English  arms  had  been 
successful  not  only  in  Canada  and  the  West  Indies,  but  also 
in  India,  where  Clive  was  laying  the  foundations  for  a  large 
empire.  On  the  European  battlefield,  too,  England  and  her 
allies  had  finally  obtained  the  ascendency,  Sweden  and  Russia 


i6 

having  withdrawn  from  the  conflict.  These  conquests  had  but 
little  effect  upon  Rhode  Island,  who  found  herself,  upon  the 
declaration  of  peace,  facing  the  problems  of  reorganization 
with  her  chief  source  of  income  (privateering)  abruptly  cut 
off,  and  her  population  and  wealth  sorely  depleted  by  the  late 
war. 

On  Tuesday,  February  8th,  1763,  the  King's  Proclamation 
of  Peace  was  publicly  read  in  Rhode  Island. 


In  February,  1755,  a  Committee  of  War  consisting  of  five 
members  was  constituted,  and  given  the  control  and  direction 
of  the  military  activities  of  the  Colony.  The  membership  of 
this  board  was  augmented  from  time  to  time,  and  continued 
to  exercise  its  important  functions  throughout  the  war, 
although  subject  to  the  resolutions  of  the  General  Assembly, 
which  created  it. 

Councils  of  War  were  held  occasionally  but  were  of  local 
rather  than  of  general  importance.  They  consisted  of  the 
Governor  and  Deputy  Governor,  the  Assistants  from  the  town, 
and  the  Colonels,  Lieutenant-Colonels,  Majors,  and  Captains  or 
those  acting  as  such,  of  the  militia  companies  of  the  County 
in  which  the  Council  was  held.  When  at  Newport  the  Cap- 
tain of  Fort  George  was  also  included. 

The  size  of  the  companies  varied  from  fifty  to  one  hun- 
dred men,  and  the  regiments  from  five  to  thirteen  companies, 
as  the  exigencies  of  the  situation  demanded.  Each  regiment 
was  commanded  by  a  Colonel,  with  his  staff,  consisting  of  a 
Lieutenant-Colonel,  a  Major,  and  an  Adjutant.  Usually  each 
regiment  had  a  Chaplain,  a  Commissary,  and  a  Surgeon.  In 
some  campaigns  a  Deputy-Commissary,  a  Quartermaster,  a 
Sutler,  an  Assistant  Surgeon,  and  an  Armorer  were  attached 
to  the  regiment.  In  no  campaigns  did  two  Rhode  Island  regi- 
ments operate  in  the  same  expedition.  In  the  campaign  of 
1762  the  Rhode  Island  regiment  was  divided  into  two  detach- 
ments, the  one  operating  about  Albany  being  under  the  Colonel, 
and  the  one  taking  part  in  the  siege  of  Havana  being  under 
the  Lieutenant-Colonel. 


17 

Each  company  had  a  Captain,  a  Lieutenant  and  an  Ensign 
and  in  some  campaigns  a  Second  Lieutenant  also.  The  first, 
second  and  third  companies  were  (except  in  the  campaign  of 
1755)  under  the  command  of  the  Colonel,  the  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  and  the  Major,  respectively.  The  First  Lieutenant  of 
each  of  these  three  companies  was  often  styled  Captain-Lieu- 
tenant and  drew  a  Captain's  pay.  The  regiment's  Adjutant 
was  chosen  from  the  company  Lieutenants  and  acted  in  both 
capacities.  The  non-commissioned  officers  were  Sergeants  and 
Corporals  and  usually  two  drummers  were  considered  as  neces- 
sary for  each  company.
