CONSTITUTION
AND
BY-LAWS
THE
Constitution of the General Society.
It being evident, from a steady decline of a proper celebration of tbe
National holidays of the United States of America, that popular cqncern
in the events and men of the war of the Revolution is gradually declining,
and that such lack of interest is attributable, not so much to the lapse of
time and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from foreign coun-
tries, as to the neglect on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes
to perform their duty in keeping before the pubHc mind the memory of the
services of their ancestors and of the times in which they lived ; therefore,
the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been instituted to perpetuate
the memory of the men, who, in the military, naval and civil service of the
Colonies and of the Continental Congress, by their acts or counsel, achieved
the Independence of the country, and to further the proper celebration of
the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington, and of prominent events
connected with the war of the Revolution ; to collect and secure for pres-
ervation the rolls, records and other documents relating to that period ; to
inspire the members of the Society with the patriotic spirit of their fore-
fathers ; and to promote the feeling of friendship among them.
The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, which shall
17
Constitution of the General Society.
meet annually on the day appointed therefor in their respective by-laws,
and often er if found expedient : and at such annual meeting the reasons
for the institution of the Society shall be considered, and the best measures
for carrying them into effect adopted.
The State Societies at every annual meeting shall choose a President, a
Vice-President, a Secretary, a Registrar, a Treasurer, a Chaplain, and such
other officers as may by them respectively be deemed necessary, and a
board of managers, to consist of such officers, and other members, as may
be provided by their respective Constitutions and By-laws, all of whom
shall retain their respective positions until their successors are duly
chosen.
Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted annually or oftener to
the other State Societies, a circular letter calling attention to whatever
may be thought worthy of observation respecting the welfare of the Society
or of the general union of the States, and giving information of the officers
chosen for the year ; and copies of these letters shall also be transmitted to
the General Secretary to be preserved among the records of the General
Society.
The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting their own
affairs, consistent with the general good of the Society ; judge of the quali-
fication of their members or of those proposed for membership, subject,
however, to the provisions of this Constitution ; and expel any member,
who, by conduct unbecoming a gentleman or a man of honor, or b}^ an
opposition to the interests of the community in general or of the Society in
particular, may render himself unworthy to continue in membership.
In order to form funds that may be respectable, each member shall con-
tribute upon his admission to the Society and annually thereafter, such
sums as the by-laws of the respective State Societies may require ; but any
of such State Societies may provide for the endowment of memberships
by the payment of proper sums in capitalization, which sums shall be
properly invested as a permanent fund, the income only of which shall be
expended.
The regular meeting of the General Society shall be held every three
years, and special meetings may be held upon the order of the General
President or upon the request of two of the State Societies, and such meet-
ings shall consist of the General Officers and a representation not exceeding
18
Constitution of the General Society.
jfive deputies from each State Society, and the necessary expenses of such
meeting shall be borne by the State Societies.
[The following amendment to the Constitution -was proposed at the meeting of the General
Society held in Denver, Colorado, on April 19, 1899, and will be voted on at the next regular
meeting : " Strike out from the seventh paragraph of the Constitution of the General Society
the words ' Of the General Officers and a representation not exceeding five deputies from each
State Society,' and insert the following : 'Of two delegates from each State Society and one
additional delegate for every one hundred (100) members or major fraction thereof ; and on
all questions arising at meetings of the General Society each delegate there present shall be
entitled to one vote, and no vote shall be taken by States. ' "]
At the regular meeting a General President, General Vice-President,
General Second Vice-President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer,
Assistant Treasurer, Registrar, Historian and Chaplain shall be chosen by
a majority of the votes present, to serve until the next regular general
meeting, or until their successors are duly chosen.
At each general meeting the circular letters which have been trans-
mitted by the several State Societies shall be considered, and all measures
taken which shall conduce to the general welfare of the Society.
The General Society shall have power at any meeting to admit State
Societies thereto, and to entertain and determine all questions affecting the
qualifications for membership in or the welfare of any State Society as may
by proper memorial be presented by such State Society for consideration.
Any male person above the age of twenty-one years, of good character,
and a descendant of one who, as a military, naval or marine officer, soldier,
sailor or marine, in actual service, under the authority of any of the thirteen
Colonies or States or of the Continental Congress, and remaining always
loyal to such authority, or a descendant of one who signed the Declaration
of Independence, or of one who, as a member of the Continental Congress
or of the Congress of any of the Colonies or States, or as an ofiicial appointed
by or under the authority of any such legislative bodies, actually assisted
in the establishment of American Independence by services rendered dur-
ing the war of the Revolution, becoming thereby liable to conviction of
treason against the government of Great Britain, but remaining always
loyal to the authority of the Colonies or States, shall be eligible to member-
ship in the Society.
The Secretary of each State Society shall transmit to the General Secre-
tary a list of the members thereof, together with the names and official
19
Constitution of the General Society.
designations of those from whom such members derive claim to member-
ship, and thereafter upon the admission of members in each State Society,
the Secretary thereof shall transmit to the General Secretary information
respecting such members similar to that herein required.
The Society shall have an insignia, which shall be a badge suspended
from a ribbon by a ring of gold ; the badge to be elliptical in form, with
escaloped edges, one and one-quarter inches in length, and one and one-
eighth inches in width : the whole surmounted by a gold eagle, with wings
displayed, inverted ; on the obverse side a medallion of gold in the centre,
elliptical in form, bearing on its face the iigure of a soldier in Continental
uniform, with musket slung ; beneath, the figures 1775 ; the medallion sur-
rounded by thirteen raised gold stars of five points each upon a border of
dark blue enamel. On the reverse side in the centre a medallion corre-
sponding in form to that on the obverse, and also in gold, bearing on its
face the Houdon portrait of Washington in bas-relief, encircled by the
legend, " Sons of the Revolution ;" beneath, the figures 1883 ; and upon the
reverse of the eagle the number of the badge to be engraved ; the medal-
lion to be surrounded by a plain gold border, conforming in dimensions to
the obverse ; the ribbon shall be dark blue, ribbed and watered, edged with
buff, one and one-half inches wide, and one and one-half inches in dis-
played length.
The insignia of the Society shall be worn by the members on all occa-
sions when they assemble as such for any stated purpose or celebration,
and may be worn on any occasion of ceremony ; it shall be carried con-
spicuously on the left breast, but members who are or have been oflicers of
the Society may wear the insignia suspended from the ribbon around the
neck.
The custodian of the insignia shall be the General Secretary, who shall
issue them to members of the Society under such proper rules as may be
formulated by the General Society, and he shall keep a register of such
issues wherein each insignia issued may be identified by the number
thereof.
The seal of the Society shall be one and seven-eighths inches in diam-
eter, and shall consist of the figure of a Minute-man in Continental uniform,
standing on a ladder leading to a belfry ; in his left hand he holds a musket
and an olive branch, whilst his right grasps a bell-rope ; above, the cracked
20

Liberty Bell ; issuing therefrom a ribbon bearing the motto of the Society,
Exegi monumentum cere perennius ; across the top of the ladder on a rib-
bon, the figures 1776 ; and on the left of the Minute-man, and also on a
ribbon, the figures 1883, the year of the formation of the Society ; the whole
encircled by a band three-eighths of one inch wide ; thereon at the top
thirteen stars of five points each ; at the bottom the name of the General

Constitution.
preamble.
Whereas, it has become evident from the dechne of proper celebration
of such National holidays as the Fourth of July, Washington's Birthday,
and the like, that popular interest in the events and men of the War of the
Revolution is less than in the earlier days of the Republic ;
And Whereas, this lack of interest is to be attributed not so much to
lapse of time as to the neglect on the pai't of descendants of Revolutionary
heroes to perform their duty of keeping before the public mind the memory
of the services of their ancestors, and of the times in which they lived, and
of the princi})les for which they contended ;
Therefore, the Society of the "Sons op the Revolution" has been
instituted, to perpetuate the memory of the men who, in military, naval or
civil service, by their acts or counsel, achieved American Independence ;
to promote and assist in the proper celebration of the anniversaries of
22
Constitution of the New York Society.
Washington's Birthday, the Battles of Lexing-ton and Bunker Hill, the
Fourth of July, the Capitulations of Saratoga and Yorktown, the formal
Evacuation of New York by the British Army, on the 3d of December,
1783, as a relinquishment of territorial sovereignty, and other prominent
events relating to or connected with the War of the Revolution ; to collect
and secure for preservation the manuscript rolls, records and other docu-
ments and memorials relating to that War ; to inspire among the members
and their descendants the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; to inculcate
in the community in general sentiments of Nationality and respect for the
principles for which the patriots of the Revolution contended ; to assist in
the commemorative celebration of other great historical events of National
importance, and to promote social intercourse and the feeling of fellowship
among its members.
ARTICLE I.
mame of Socicts.
The Society shall be known by the name, style and title of " Sons of
THE Revolution."
ARTICLE II.
Any male person, above the age of twenty-one years, shall be eligible
to membership in the "Sons of the Revolution" who is descended from
an ancestor, as the propositus, who, either as a military, naval or marine
officer, soldier, sailor, or marine, or official in the service of any one of the
thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the National Government repre-
senting or composed of those Colonies or States, assisted in establishing
American Independence during the War of the Revolution, between the
19th day of April, 1775, when hostilities commenced, and the 19th day of
April, 1783, when they were ordered to cease.
Provided : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of
an ancestor in the "minute men" or "militia," it must be satisfactorily
shown that such ancestor was actually called into the service of the State
or United States, and performed garrison or field duty ; and
Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the
service of an ancestor as a "sailor " or "marine," it must in like manner be
23
Constitution of the New York Society.
shown that such service was other than shore duty and regularly per-
formed in the Continental Navy, or the Navy of one of the original thirteen
States, or on an armed vessel, other than a merchant ship, which sailed
under letters of marque and reprisal, and that such ancestor of the appli-
cant was duly enrolled in the ship's company, either as an officer, seaman,
or otherwise than as a passenger ; and
Provided further: That when the claim of eligibility is based on the
service of an ancestor as an " official." such service must have been per-
formed in the civil service of the United States, or of one of the thirteen
original States, and must have been sufficiently important in character to
have rendered the official specially liable to arrest and imprisonment, the
same as a combatant, if captured by the enemy, as well as liable to convic-
tion of treason against the Government of Great Britain.
Service in the ordinary duties of a civil office, the performance of which
did not particularly and effectively aid the American Cause, shall not con-
stitute eligibility.
In the construction of this article, the Volunteer Aids de Camp of Gen-
eral Officers in Continental Service, who were duly announced as such and
who actually served in the field during a campaign, shall be comprehended
as having performed qualifying service.
The civil officials and military forces of the State of Vermont, during
the War of the Revolution, shall also be comprehended in the same manner
as if they had belonged to one of the thirteen original States.
No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying service for
membership in the "Sons of the Revolution " where such ancestor, after
assisting in the cause of American Independence, shall have subsequently
either adhered to the enemy, or failed to maintain an honorable record
throughout the War of the Revolution.
No person shall be admitted unless he be eligible under one of the pro-
visions of this Article nor unless he be of good moral character and be
judged worthy of becoming a member.
ARTICLE III.

IN MEMORIAM
GEORGE WASHINGTON
BORN, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA,
FEBRUARY 22, 1732
DIED, MOUNT VERNON, FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA,
DECEMBER 14, 1799
At the annual meeting of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution in
the State of New York held in December, 1898, it was resolved to observe
the centennial anniversary of the death of George Washington, December 14,
1899, with special services. A committee of ten, to be appointed by the
President, was authorized to carry the resolution into effect.
"First in War, First in Peace, and
First in the Hearts of His Countrymen. "
OFFICIAL ACTION IN CONGRESS ON THE DEATH OF
WASHINGTON.
PROCEEDINGS IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Thiorsday, December 19, 1799.
The House of Representatives of the United States, having received
intelligence of the death of their highly valued fellow citizen, GEORGE
Washington, General of the Armies of the United States, and sharing the
universal grief this distressing event must produce,
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVE,
1. That this House will wait on the President of the United States,
in condolence of this national calamity.
2. That the Speaker's chair be shrouded with black, and that the
members and officers of the House wear mourning during the season.
3. That a joint committee of both Houses be appointed to report
measures suitable to the occasion, and expressive of the profound sorrow
with which Congress is penetrated on the loss of a citizen FIRST in
WAR, FIRST IN PEACE, AND FIRST IN THE HEARTS OF HIS COUNTRYMEN.
43
Death of Washington.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1799
This being the day appointed by the resolution of Congress for the
funeral procession in honor of the memory of George Washington, late
General of the Armies of the United States, the House [in conjunction with
the Senate and President and a great concourse of officials and citizens] pro-
ceeded to the German Lutheran Church, where they attended the funeral
oration prepared and delivered on the occasion by Major-General Lee, one of
the Members of this House for the State of Virginia ; and, having returned,
the House adjourned until to-morrow morning, eleven o'clock.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1800.
MRS. WASHINGTON TO PRESIDENT ADAMS.
Mount Vernon, December 31, 1799.
Sir:
While I feel with keenest anguish the late dispensation of Divine
Providence, I cannot be insensible to the mournful tributes of respect and
veneration which are paid to the memory of my dear deceased husband ;
and, as his best services and most anxious wishes were always devoted to the
welfare and happiness of his Country, to know that they were truly appre-
ciated and gratefully remembered affords no inconsiderable consolation.
Taught by that great example which I have so long had before me
never to oppose my private wishes to the public will, I must consent to the
request made by Congress, which you have had the goodness to transmit to
me ; and, in doing this, I need not, I cannot, say what a sacrifice of indi-
vidual feeling I make to a sense of public duty.
With grateful acknowledgments, and unfeigned thanks for the personal
respect and evidences of condolence expressed by Congress, and yourself, I
remain, very respectfully, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
MARTHA WASHINGTON.
Action being postponed, Washington's remains were undisturbed, and
have since rested at Mount Vernon.

First Continental Congress, 1774.
FIRST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS, 1774.
Our national history — the continuous history of the united
Colonies and the United States— dates from the meeting of the
First Continental Congress in Philadelphia, September-October,
1774.
The term " Continental " was used in its geographical sense,
indicative of a broad application, and perhaps as a term least
likely to give umbrage to the mother country. A Continental
Congress or a Continental army in 1774 and 1775 meant a Con-
gress or an army representing the English Colonies on the Conti-
nent of North America. It presently became synonymous with
"national" and distinctively "American."
The Philadelphia Congress took the first general aggressive
steps leading immediately to the Revolution. It organized what
was called the "American Association," whose object was to
retaliate commercially upon England. Its Articles declared that
as long as the recent tax measures remained in force the Ameri-
can Colonists would refrain from exporting goods to Great
Britain or importing or consuming goods of English manufac-
ture. This struck at the interests of the British merchant and
was an indirect defiance of Parliament. The Congress regarded
this action as involving grave responsibility and probable serious
consequences — so grave and serious, in fact, that they bound
themselves to stand by the terms of the Association "under the
Sacred ties of virtue, honour and Love of our Country." It is in
this document that this expression "love of our country" first
appears in any of our records of a national character. The Arti-
cles of Association were signed by the members of the Congress
on October 20, 1774, which has been properly described as the
birthday of the Country. From that date the government of the
640
First Continental Congress.
United States has been in the hands of a general body, the First
Congress providing for the assembling of the Second Continental
Congress in the following May, 1775, which after 1789 was in
turn succeeded by the Congresses of the Constitution. John
Adams subsequently oflScially referred to the American Associa-
tion of 1774 as "That memorable League of the Colonies which
first expressed the Sovereign will of a free nation in America."
The fac-simile autographs of the Signers of the Association on
the following pages will be of special interest to the Society of
the Sons of the Revolution, many of whose members in New
York and other States are descended from these delegates to
the First Continental Congress. Part of the last Article of the
Association appears in print with the autographs. The whole of

Beginncng of Proposed Series.
EBENEZER STEVENS,
Colonel, Second Continental, New York, Artillery.
Colonel Stevens was born in Boston, Massachusetts, of Eng-
lish Puritan parentage, in 1751. He acquired his first military-
knowledge in the Boston Train of Artillery. This company,
organized in Boston in 1763, passed in 1768 to the command of
Lieutenant Paddock— a " complete artillery man " and a compe-
tent officer. Besides this instruction, the Boston Volunteers had
the advantage of the experience of a company of British Artil-
lery, which, bound for Quebec, found itself too late to enter the
St. Lawrence and were quartered in Boston. Paddock, not satis-
fied with the ordinary practice of the guns at Castle William,
bought some light brass pieces and taught his men field drill.
Thus was formed the nucleus of the famous artillery corps of the
Continental Army, which won the praise of their British foes
and the compliments of their French allies at Yorktown. When
the tea ships arrived in Boston Harbor in November, 1773, Pad-
dock's Company was charged with its guard. Paddock refused
the service, but the company undertook to see that no tea was
landed. Stevens was one of that celebrated Tea Party. The
last time that he served with his company was at the reception
of General Gage at Boston, in May, 1774.
Leaving Boston, Stevens established himself in Providence,
and there married his first wife. On the news of the Battle of
Lexington he offered his services, and on the 8th of May, 1775,
was commissioned Lieutenant of the train of Artillery belonging
to the Army of Observation raised by the colony of Rhode
Island, whose Captain, John Crane, had also been one of the
Boston Train. They marched into Massachusetts, and were en-
camped first at Jamaica Plains and later at Roxbury. During
645
Biographies of Revolutionary Soldiers.
the Battle of Bunker Hill the train was posted on Boston Neck, and
during the subsequent siege of Boston by Washington it gar-
risoned the fort at Roxbury. At the close of the year it was dis-
banded, and Crane and Stevens were commissioned into the
artillery regiment raised by Massachusetts under the Continen-
tal establishment, under the command of Col. Knox.
The Continental establishment, as later arranged in 1780,
consisted of four regiments. The first, Colonel Harrison, was
assigned to Virginia ; the second, Colonel Lamb, to New York ;
the third. Colonel Crane, to Massachusetts ; the fourth. Colonel
Proctor, to Pennsylvania. The fourth served a short time in the
Southern Department, and after Yorktown joined Greene in the
Carolinas. The second and fourth composed the artillery in the
trenches at Yorktown. The third served wholly with the main
army in the Northern Department, as did the second, except that
detachment of it which marched under Stevens with Lafayette
on his Southern expedition in 1781, and later, as has been stated,
at Yorktown.
In March, 1776, Stevens was ordered by Washington to the
Lakes with two companies of artillery and a party of artificers.
Stevens led thena through No. 4, in New Hampshire, to Crown
Point, to reinforce Montgomery's Army. On this march he cut
a road across the Green Mountains to Otter Creek, through the
heavy snows of that terrible winter, a distance of forty miles,
and dragged two heavy mortars besides his guns. He was at
his destination before the end of April. From Crown Point he
was aent up to the River Sorel, but his guns were not landed nor
his Command engaged. After the retreat from Canada before
the advancing army of Burgoyne, Stevens was assigned to the
command of General Gates, whose headquarters were at Ticon-
deroga. On the reorganization of the Northern Army, he was
appointed by Gates, September, 1776, to take command of its
artillery, and the command was confirmed to him by the Com-
mittee of Congress as Major commanding the artillery of the
Northern Department. During the winter he was on detached

service in New York and New England, under Knox's immediate
instructions. In May he was brevetted Major by Congress, on
the recommendation of Colonel Schuyler, as "a worthy
good oflBcer." In June, 1777, Ticonderoga was evacuated and
Gates fell back to Saratoga. In the campaign which followed
Stevens had full command of the artillery, which arm greatly
contributed to the capture of Burgoyne. The British artillery,
38 pieces in all (" a most noble park," as Knox termed it), was
one of the trophies of this great victory.
In 1778, Colonel Crane, of the Third Continental Artillery,
Mass., claimed Stevens's three companies as having been raised
in Massachusetts, and theref ire part of his command. Stevens
refused to give them up and threatened resignation ; whereupon,
under special application of the Hon. James Duane, Member of
Congress from New York, he was brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel
of Foot for his services in the two campaigns. He was offered,
at this time, a brigade of infantry by Massachusetts, but preferred
his own arm. There was no vacancy in the artillery, but under
promise of advancement by Knox, he v\ras continued in command
of the artillery of the Northern Department. In this Spring, 1778,
he was selected by Lafayette to command the artillery in the
Canadian campaign then contemplated, but later abandoned.
December of this year was passed in camp by Stevens at New
Windsor. In November he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of
Artillery, to take conamand on the first vacancy. This occurred
in December, on the resignation of Lieutenant-Colonel Oswald
from the Second Regiment Continentals, New York Artillery,
commanded by Col. Lamb. Stevens was appointed to this
vacancy.
In March, Lamb was appointed Surveyor of Ordinance, and
Stevens was thereafter left in sole control of the regiment. In
the winter of 1778-79, he was in New Jersey with the main army.
In October, 1779, he was ordered to Hartford, to construct five
ships for the Southern campaign, in which d'Estaing was
engaged. During the hard winter of 1779-80, the artillery was in

winter quarters at Morristown. He was at West Point when
Arnold made his escape, and an order book of his command
shows that he was trying deserters at Tappan at the very hour
when Andre was executed.
In the Spring of 1781, he marched with Lafayette as his Chief
of Artillery, in the fruitless expedition to the Chesapeake in
pursuit of Arnold, and to his ingenuity and the generosity of his
friend, Governor Lee, of Virginia, who provided the five ships
which Stevens armed and Nicholson commanded, Annapolis
owed its escape from burning and the transport fleet of La-
fayette from capture. On his return, he commanded the park
of artillery at New Windsor as senior officer.
In July of this year, 1781, he moved the park by water to
camp at Peekskill and soon after to Yorktown. He had, more-
over, direction of the general transportation of the army. At
Yorktown, the immediate command of the artillery was alter-
nately with Lamb and Stevens, of the New York, and Carriugton
of the Virginia Regiment. Washington applied the match to the
first gun on the 9th of October ; the last was fired by Stevens's
Regiment on the 18th, To the skill with which the American
pieces were handled, both the British and French officers testified.
Washington congratulated Knox on the conduct of the artillery
in general orders, and Knox in brigade orders thanked the corps
in general and the officers, each by name. Stevens, in particular,
was complimented for his skill in moving the park and transport-
ing the army on the long march by land and water from the
Hudson to the Head of Elk.
In 1782 he was at Burlington recruiting his regiment for a
spring campaign. In 1788 he was one of those officers who, in
the cantonment of the American Army at Newburg on the Hud-
son River, instituted the Society of the Cincinnati, of the New
York branch of which he was later Vice-President. On Novem-
ber 25th, the day of the evacuation by the British, Stevens en-
tered the city with Washington.
At a later period, when it was proposed to divide the United
Ebenezer Stevens.
States into four great military departments, one of these was
offered to Colonel Stevens but declined. He was also one of the
three Commissioners charged with the defense of the City of New
York when the war with France was expected.
The uniform of the American Artillery — Continentals — was
dark blue with red facing and red lining, white underclothes, black
half gaiters and garters. In 1777 the uniform of the four regular
regiments constituting the corps of artillery, was a blue or black
coat reaching to the knee, and full trimmed lapels fastened back
with open worked regimental buttons and open work buttonholes
and yellow silk on their lapels, cuffs and pocket caps. The skirts
looped back to show the red lining, red lapels, cuffs, linings and
standing capes, single breasted white waistcoat with small regi-
mental buttons, wide breeches, black half gaiters, white stock,
ruffled shirt and at the wrists ; a black cocked hat bound with ,
yellow, red plume and black cockade, gilt small sword and gilt
epaulets. In 1779 Congress prescribed for the artillery and arti-
ficers, blue faced with scarlet, scarlet lining, yellow buttons, yel-
low bound hats, coats edged with narrow lace or tape, and but-
tonholes bound with the same.
The civil life of Colonel Stevens was marked by the same ac-
tivity and success as his military career. He was one of the
largest and most successful merchants of his day ; he had the
monopoly of the consignment of New England vessels and of the
trade with the Windward Islands. Through his French army
connections he opened the trade with the French ports of Ro-
chelle and Bordeaux. He was the agent of the War Department
of the United States for its purchases and supplies, and at differ-
ent periods the official agent of both the French and British gov-
ernments.
He became a member of the New York Assembly in 1800 at
the special request of Governor Jay, who wished the aid of his
military experience ; Alderman of the Third Ward in 1802. He
was appointed Major-General of the Artillery of the State of New
York, and commanded the troops and defenses in 1813. He was

one of the founders of the Tammany Society or Columbian Order,
instituted in 1789 ; one of the founders of the New England So-
ciety organized in 1805, and its president from 1817 till his death.
On all occasions he was the acknowledged representative of the
officers and soldiers of the Revolution, whose interests he pro-
tected before Congress and elsewhere. He was one of the eight
military pall-bearers, all members of the Cincinnati, who carried
the funereal urn in procession through the streets of New York
in the ceremonies attending the death of Washington. He died
in September, 1823.
There are several portraits of him : a head, by Trumbull, in
the New Haven gallery ; a half length, in uniform of the artillery,
by an unknown hand — by family tradition painted by a French
officer ; a miniature by the same hand, or that of one of his com-
patriots ; one by Jarvis, in costume of a general officer ; and
one by Waldo, taken at a later period, in civilian dress, powdered
hair and queue, as he wore it till his death. More interesting
than all of these is the admirable full length figure in Trumbull's
great picture, " The Surrender of Burgoyne," in the rotunda of
the capitol. He stands prominent in the foreground beside the
marquee on the left of the canvas, leaning on a cannon. He
appears again at the head of his command in the background of
Trumbull's companion picture of the surrender of Cornwallis at
Yorktown.
He is represented in the Sons of the Revolution by John
Austin Stevens, a grandson by his second marriage. This
gentleman was the first president of the society.

BENJAMIN TALLMADGE,
Lieutenant-Colonel Second Regiment, Light Dragoons, Conn.
Colonel Tallmadge was born at Brookhaven in Suffolk
County, Long Island, in 1754. The Tallmadges were of English
stock, and among the early settlers of Connecticut and Long Is-
land. His father, after graduation from Yale College [1749], en-
tered the ministry, and was ordained at Setauket or Brookhaven.
He also was graduated from Yale in 1773, after which he under-
took the charge of the High School at Weathersfield. While
thus engaged the country was inflamed by the news from Lex-
ington. Young Tallmadge catching, as he says, "The flame
which was spreading from breast to breast, mounted his horse,
to go and see what was going on near Boston." This visit to
Cambridge Camp excited his military ardor, and when Connecti-
cut resolved to raise its quota for the service, he determined to
take up arras. In June, 1776, he was Lieutenant with the ap-
pointment of Adjutant in Colonel Chester's battalion. The bat-
talion was marched to New York by Washington, who was daily
expecting the arrival of Lord Howe's fleet. The regimental
parade of the battalion was on Wall Street. When Washington
moved his army to Long Island, Tallmadge's battalion was
among the first to cross ; here he saw his first engagement and
witnessed the masterly withdrawal by Washington of his army
under cover of the fog. His battalion was now in the rear guard
and he himself was among the last to cross, leaving his horse be-
hind him, "tied to a post at the ferry." In his memoir, he relates
that unwilling to part with the animal he obtained permission to
recross the river with a volunteer crew and brought him off. In
this little incident is found the temper of the man. When the
651

British entered the city at Turtle Bay, the battalion was again
engaged, and its Brigade-Major taken prisoner. Tallmadge was
appointed to the place, and was on duty at the battles of Harlem
Heights and White Plains. At this latter affair, the chaplain of
the battalion, jumping behind him on his horse, tumbled him into
the waters of the Bronx and nearly caused his capture. When
Washington retreated across the river behind the Jersey hills,
the New England troops, whose term of enlistment was nearly
expired, were left on the east bank of the Hudson.
In the Continental establishment, made in the autumn of
1776, cavalry was not included, but in December it was resolved
to raise four regiments of horse. The first regiment, light
dragoons, Virginia, was commanded by Colonel Bland ; the
second Connecticut, by Colonel Sheldon ; the third General
Cavalry, by Colonel Baylor; the fourth General Cavalry, by
Colonel Moylan.
Tallmadge was commissioned Captain of the first troop of
Sheldon's second regiment in December, and received instruction
for its equipment from the Board of War. The rendezvous was
at Weathersfield, where he erected a circular manege for training
men and horses. At the opening of the campaign of '77, there
were mounted men enough to form four troops or a squadron,
command of which was given to Tallmadge, the senior Captain.
His own troop, he says, consisted entirely of dapple gray horses,
with black straps and black bearskin holster covers, and looked
superb. He was very proud of this command. The order of
Congress, 1779, prescribed for the light dragoons white, blue
faced with white, white buttons and lining. Tallmadge's
squadron, ordered to the main body by Washington, joined the
camp at Morristown, and was sent forward to Middlebrook,
where they were reviewed by the Commander-in-Chief. The
several corps of the light horse were gathered here, and engaged
on reconnoitering services ; they took part in the Battle of the
Short Hills, after which they were ordered to the Delaware.
In April, 1777, Tallmadge was promoted Major, and took his
652
Benjamin Tallmadge.
place as Field Officer, giving up the command of his favorite
troop.
In the Autumn of 1777, Washington moved his army to the
Head of Elk, where Howe had landed his army. The dragoons
took part in the Battle of the Brandy wine and in the attack on
Germantown Tallmadge's position was at the head of General
Sullivan's division on the left wing. After the failure to carry
the stone house, Tallmadge, by Washington's orders, threw his
squadron across the road to stop the retreat, but without avail.
In November, 1777, when Howe and Washington faced each
other before Chestnut Hill, Tallmadge was posted on the flank of
the left wing with Morgan's light infantry. A skirmish ensued
with the British light infantry and dragoons. There was no
general engagement. After this campaign, Washington went
into winter quarters at Valley Forge. Howe was at Philadelphia.
Tallmadge, with his dragoons, lay between the forces, and was
constantly engaged with the British light horse. Surprised on
one occasion by this body, under Lord Rawdon, at the Rising Sun
tavern, he barely escaped capture, yet managed to carry off
behind him a young girl who had been sent into Philadelphia as
a spy, and was on her way out with information. He says that
during the wheeling and charging and firing on the retreat she
remained unmoved, and never complained of fear after she
mounted.
In January, 1778, the light horse were ordered to Trenton,
and Tallmadge went into winter quarters at Chatham. In the
Spring, he was ordered to the Clove and Kings Ferry to watch
the motions of the British. Smith's Clove was the valley road
which ran from the Pompton Road behind the hills to the Hudson
River. In the Summer of 1778 he was at Monmouth, and after
that brilliant but indecisive battle, returned with his main army
to the east bank of the Hudson, and now opened a new and
necessarily little known part of Tallmadge's career. His only
allusion to it in his autobiography is as follows : " This year,
1778," he writes, "I opened a private correspondence in New
653
Biographies of Revolutionary Soldiers.
York for General Washington, which lasted through the war."
How beneficial it was to the Commander-in-Chief is evidenced by
his continuing the same to the close of the war : " I kept one or
more boats continually employed in crossing the Sound on this
business."
During this campaign he was posted in Westchester, and in
his patrol of this, "the debatable ground," he was in frequent
conflict with the light corps of the British, the Queen's Rangers,
the Legion Dragoons, the Chasseurs, who were led by the cele-
brated Tarleton and Simcoe, and supported by the Second Roy-
alist Battalion, commanded by Oliver Delancey, who knew every
inch of this, his native soil. Their post was at Kingsbridge. It
was during this active skirmish summer that Ninham and his
Stockbridge Indians of the American Army were surprised by
Tarleton and Simcoe on the field of the Courtland Manor at
Yonkers (now the new park), and cut to pieces. The scene of
the final massacre is still known as Indian Bridge. At the close
of the campaign the Second Dragoons went into winter quarters
at Durham, Connecticut, but Tallmadge preferred a post at
Greenfield, on the Sound, whence he could easily cross to Long
Island.
In 1779 he was sent, together with a small force of light in-
fantry, to defend Norwalk against Tryon's devastating expedi-
tion. His force was insufficient to avert the suffering and could
do but little to mitigate it. During the attack on Stony Point by
Wayne, the dragoons acted with the troops which made a feint
on the British post at Verplanck's Point. In July, 1779, Lord
Rawdon, with a large force, fell on the American corps at night,
and a hot hand-to-hand fight with broadswords ensued. Shel-
don ordered a retreat, and Tallmadge lost " a fine horse, his field
baggage and his valise with twenty guineas in cash."
Determined on a revenge, Tallmadge made a dash against
the enemy at Lloyd's Neck, on Long Island, completely surprised
the post, captured their whole force, destroyed their boats, and
returned with his command without the loss of a man.
654
Betojamin Tallmadge.
In the Summer of 1780 Rochambeau arrived at Newport with
his contingent force. From this hour, says Tallmadge, "we
considered the independence of our country absolutely sure."
With them came the Duke de Lauzun with a part of his Legion,
consisting of six hundred men, three hundred of whom were
Hussars. The story of this Legion now makes part of that of
the American cavalry,
Tallmadge was now given by Washington a separate com-
mand, consisting of the dismounted dragoons of his own regiment
and a body of horse— two companies well officered and fit for
active service. Washington seems to have left him free in his
movements. Constantly watching his opportunities to cross the
Sound, he never ventured without a certainty of success, and in-
deed could be rarely spared from the Westchester line. Here,
in the midst of the campaign of marching and countermarching,
and skirmishing and catching cowboys, occurred an incident
which brought him into historic prominence. After a long day
in the saddle, he returned late at night from below to his post
near Northcastle, when he was informed that a prisoner had
been brought in that day by the name of John Anderson. This
was the unfortunate Major Andre. Tallmadge's connection with
this thrilling episode of the war is minutely related by himself in
letters to Sparks and Quincy, published a few years since in the
" Magazine of American History." It was Tallmadge who in-
sisted on the prisoner being brought back to the post till Wash-
ington could be heard from. It was under his charge that he
was taken to headquarters, and he walked with him to the gal-
lows at Tappan. Tallmadge, writing of his intercourse with
Andre, says that when asked by him in what light he would be
viewed by Washington, he, Tallmadge. replied by relating the
story of his " much loved classmate in Yale College by the name
of Nathan Hale, taken by the British just as he had passed their
outposts," and asked Andre if he remembered the sequel.
"Yes," said Andre, "he was hanged as a spy, but you surely
do not consider his case and mine alike ?" Tallmadge replied^
655
Biographies of Revolutionary Soldiers.
" precisely alike, and similar will be your fate." Here it may be
said that Sir Henry Clinton had warned Andre not to quit his
uniform. It was the disguise that gave him the character of a
spy.
The day after the execution Tallmadge rejoined his detach-
ment, and had a hot time with his command in the thickets and
rocky passes of Westchester. After a personal reconnoisance he
led a party to the capture of Fort St. George, in Suffolk County.
He entered the grand parade sword in hand, and the main fort
was carried by the bayonet, not a musket being fired. The guns
were turned upon the shipping ; the magazine near by was cap-
tured. Tallmadge was thanked by his Commander-in-Chief and
by resolution of Congress. In the Spring of 1781 he joined the
French Dragoons of Rocharabeau's advance, and with them lay
in front of the allied camp.
As light troops were not needed for the Yorktown expedition
Major Tallmadge's troop for the first time was not under the im-
mediate command of Washington. Left at the North to carry
out his own partisan ideas he organized a flotilla and captured
the fortress at Treadwell's Neck, Long Island. Before the news
of the peace had reached the States from London he had already
made some further captures on the Sound.
Before the close of 1783, at his own request, Tallmadge was
sent into New York under cover of a flag. His object was to se-
cure the safety of those who had acted as his emissaries. He was
successful in every instance. He was one of the founders of the
Order of the Cincinnati, and Treasurer of the General Society,
and he was one of those who bade farewell to Washington at
Fraunce's Tavern on the 4th of December, 1783. At the close
of the war Tallmadge was brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel of
Dragoons.
He now revisited his home at Brookhaven, from which he
had been seven years in exile. On his marriage in 1784 he made
his home at Litchfield. He was engaged in commercial pursuits
for many years. From 1809 to 1818 he represented Connecticut

in Congress. In 1812 he was tendered by Madison a high com-
mand in the army, but declined.
There is a fine pencil sketch of Colonel Tallmadge in the uni-
form of his corps, drawn from the life by his friend the artist
Colonel Trumbull, and by him presented to the son of the brave
dragoon.
He is represented in the Sons of the Revolution by Frederick
Samuel Tallmadge, a grandson. This gentleman, the second
president of the Society, is still in office.
657
ALEXANDER HAMILTON,
Lieutenant-Colonel Light Infantry.
Alexander Hamilton, one of the f ramers of the Constitution of
the United States and the first oecretary of the Treasury, won
early distinction as a soldier. Born in 1757 in the island of Nevis,
of Scotch and French parentage, he enlisted the attention of r.
Nicholas Cruger, of the well-known NewYork merchant family,
whose residence was in that island. With his patronage Hamil-
ton came to the United States at the age of fifteen, and after a
preliminary training, was graduated from King's, now Columbia
College, in 1774. The passing generation well remember the
quaint college building and its picturesque grounds, with fine
trees and lawns and a high terrace on the block between Church
and College Place, Murray and Barclay Streets. This piece of
ground was a part of the old King's Farm, and was granted by
the corporation of Trinity Church to the college in 1756.
Before he had completed the second year of his college
course, the province was in a turmod. It is of tradition that
Hamilton was active by word and {.en in arousing the spirit of
resistance.
The province of New York was a warlike province, and the
city a warlike city. From its position at the mouth of the great
wrterway which led to Canada, it was the basis of all military
movements during the French War, and for a half century the
home of privateers that scoured the seas against the Bourbon
powers. Her gunners were expert, and the patriot authorities
turned special attention to this arm. In 1775, John Lamb had en-
listed a company, which was termed the Royal Artillery. At
that day all enlistments were made in the King's name. Its

costume was blue, faced with buff. These were the Whig
colors. Who does not remember Mrs. Crew's toast to the Prince
of Wales, when supping with her. Fox and Burke being of the
company. " Buff and blue and all of you."
In January, 177^), the New York Provincial Congress ordered
the orginization of a company of artillery. Hamilton was com-
missioned captain, and it was familiarly known as Hamilton's
Battery. Its first parade was on the green, now the New Yor City
Park. It remains to-day the only revolutionary unit surviving,
and is known as Light Battery F, Fourth Regiment, U. S. A.
On the return of the army from the Siege of Boston, Hamilton's
company was attached to Knox's Regiment of Continental
Artillery, and did good service at Long Island. It was present
at the battles of Harlem and White Plains, and later at Prince-
ton, Trenton and the passage of the Raritan, where it attracted
the attention of Washington by its excellence.
On the 1st of March, 1777, Hamilton was offered a -d accepted
a position on Washington's staff as Aide-de-Camp, with rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel. The young adventurer was already on
terms of intimate friendship with the well bred and cultured
gentry of the colonies. He remained on Washington's staff
till February, 1781, when he resigned.
He had long chafed at the "kind of personal dependence"
which this service involved. He had first thought of returning
to the artillery, but preferred an appointment for the approaching
campaign in the light infantry.
The light infantry first appears as a corps in the battle Sum-
mer of 1777. Washington, seeing the need of a light corps to
check the Indians in the British employ under Burgoyne, which
hung upon the flanks of the American army, dispatched Colonel
Morgan with his Virginia Riflemen to Oates, who was in com-
mand of the Northern Army. To this corps Gates added 350
bayonets, carefully picked from the entire army, and under com-
mand of Major Dearborn. Before this period the light service had
been performed by companies known as Riflemen or Rangers.

The light infantry as now estabHshed, was in every way a corps
d'elite. It did good service on the field of Saratoga ; so great
indeed, that it was determined to increase and strengthen it. In
the Summer of 1780, it consisted of six battalions, eight compa-
nies each, and in all about 2,000 men. It was arranged in two
brigades, one of which was commanded by General Hand, the
other by General Poor. Its post was in advance of the main
army, which then lay at Peekskill, threatening New York. The
chief command of the light infantry was given to Lafayette.
Heath, in his memoir, credits the corps of light infantry " as be-
ing perhaps as fine a body of men as ever was formed. Major-
General Marquis de Lafayette had, with infinite pain and great
expense, endeavored to render them respectable in their appear-
ance as well as discipline, in which he was nobly seconded by the
oflficers." From another source we learn that " the Marquis had
bargained with French merchants to supply the officers of the
light division with superfine blue regimental coats and trim-
mings, and blue waistcoats and breeches for four guineas each."
He also presented each of his officers with a small sword. The
Chevalier Chastelleux, who visited Lafayette's camp on the To-
towa in November, 1780, gives an interesting account of his com-
mand : "This troop made a good appearance, and wore better
clothes than the rest of the army ; the uniforms, both of the offi-
cers and soldiers smart and military, each soldier wearing a hel-
met of hard leather with a crest of horsehair. The officers armed
with espontoons, or rather half pikes, and the subalterns with
fusils, but both are provided with short and light sabres, brought
from France, and made a present to them by the Marquis ; the
plumes were black and red. The flags came from France ; one
bore a cannon with a device of ' ultima ratio/ another a laurel
crown and civic crown blended, with the significant motto, ' No
other.'" There are two authentic portraits of Lafayette, one in
the New York Historical Society, presented to it by Col. Stevens
of the artillery ; the other is in the Massachusetts Historical So-
ciety. In these the Marquis is represented in the uniform of the

Alexander Hamilton.
light infantry. Dark blue coat with white facings, buttoned back
so as to display the white facings and lining ; standing collar or
cape of red ; white waistcoat with buttons, white breeches ; white
cravat and ruffled shirt ; the hair powdered and queued, and face
clean shaven. The Marquis wears the gold epaulets of his rank.
The campaign of 1780 ended without decisive movement, and
in the late Fall the light infantry corps was broken up, each com-
pany returning to its respective regiment.
In Jecember, Arnold, after his escape from West Point,
sailed from New York in command of a British force to harry
Virginia. Congress requested Washington to arrange a pursuit
by an expedition, combining a detachment from the American
army with a part of the French fleet, then lying at Newport. In
February, Washington ordered General Heath to complete all the
light infantry companies to fifty rank and file each. On the 18th
they were formed, inspected on the 20th, and a detachment of
artillery, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Stevens, was
ordered to join the corps. The command was given to Lafayette,
and they had already marched on the 22d. Lafayette reached
Annapolis at the appointed hour, but the French fleet did not ap-
pear. After an engagement with the British off the capes of the
Chesapeake, they returned to Newport. The artillery was
ordered home, but Lafayette was directed to join Greene, who
was then manoeuvreing against Cornwallis in the Carolinas.
Hamilton, who was on intimate terms with Lafayette, ap-
plied for a command in his corps. Washington at first declined
for sufficient reasons. As he said, "There was little prospect of
the formation of another advance corps." This was at the close
of April, but by July the situation was changed. The arrival of
de Grasse in the West Indies gave hope of a decisive movement.
In the disposition of the American army, the light infantry corps
lay in the advance in front of Dobb's Ferry, under command of
Colonel Scammel. In July, Hamilton, impatient, determined to
throw up his commission, to which Washington replied with a
promise of early service. Washington's orderly book of July 31

records '' The light companies of the first and second regiment of
New York — upon their arrival in camp —with the two companies
of York Levies, under the command of Captains Sackett and
Williams, will form a battalion under the command of Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Hamilton and Major Fish. After the formation of
the battalion Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton will join the advance
corps under the orders of Colonel Scammell."
On the 15th of August, Washington dispatched a courier to
Lafayette, who had Cornwallis caged at Yorktown, and on the
19th. under cover of a feint on New York, crossed the Hudson at
King's Ferry, the light troops in advance. They crossed the
Delaware on the 1st of September, marched through Philadelphia
the next day, and went into camp on the banks of the Schuylkill.
On the 5th, they reached Christiana, where Colonel Stevens, of
the artiller}^, who had charge of the transportation of the army,
had boats in readiness for the movement down the Chesapeake.
Hamilton's command embarked on the 7th, Colonel Scammel on
the 12th, and the entire corps went into camp near the shore of
Williamsburg, on the Yorktown Peninsula, on the 26th.
On the 37th, Washington issued his general orders with an
order of battle, the light infantry to form the advance guard.
Scammel fell a victim to an ambush m a reconnoissance, and the
command devolved on Colonel Hamilton.
Fire was opened from the trenches on the 6th of October ; the
second parallel was begun on the 13th. and an assault of the
enerny ordered on nightfall of the 14th, The American light
infantry stormed the left battery on the river bank; the French
Grenadiers, the right British redoubt.
Lafayette, in his report to Washington the next day, said
that "Lieutenant Gimat's Battalion (of the light infantry), led
the van, and was followed by that of Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton,
who commanded the whole advance corps, while Lieutenant-
Colonel Laurens, with a party of eighty, turned the redoubt ; not
a gun was fired, and the ardor of the troops did not give time for
the sappers to derange the abbatis, and owing to the conduct of
662

the commanders and the bravery of the men, the redoubt was
stormed with an uncommon rapidity." The surrender of Corn-
waUis was virtually the close of the war, although young
Laurens lost his life not long after in the Carolinas. where
hostihties still lingered. At the end of the campaign, Hamilton
returned to the North.
The light infantry was reorganized for permanent service
and place under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel B.
Webb, of the Connecticut Line, a distinguished oflBcer, but lately
released from his parole. He had at one time served as an aide
to Washington.
In 1798, when war was expected with France, Hamilton was
appointed second in command of the army as Inspector- General
and with the rank of Major-General. In 1799, on the death of
Washington, he succeeded to the chief command. One of the
founders of the Cincinnati, he succeeded Washington as President-
General of this institution, and was in oflBce at the time of his
death in 1804.
He is represented in the Sons of the Revolution by his grand-
sons William Gaston Hamilton and Schuyler Hamilton.

MATTHEW CLARKSON,
Aide-de-Camp.
The family of Clarkson came to this country from Yorkshire,
England. Matthew Clarkson arrived in New York in 1691, with
the commission of Secretary of the Province.
Colonel Matthew Clarkson was born in the city of New York
in 1758. In the Spring of 1775 he enlisted as a private in the New
York Fusiliers, an independent company commanded by Captain
Rudolphus Ritzema. On the arrangement of the Fourth New
York Battalion, Ritzema was made Lieutenant-Colonel in the
first regiment. Clarkson remained with the Fusiliers, and is
found encamped at Kingsbridge under the command of Captain
Henry G. Livingston. The Fusiliers were now attached to the
First Battalion, New York Independent Forces, John Lasher,
Colonel commanding. The officers in Livingston's company were
Andrew Lott. First Lieutenant ; James Van Zandt, Second Lieu-
tenant ; William Smith Livingston, Third Lieutenant. Their
uniform was a suit of blue cloth, faced with red, and a bearskin
cap, upon which a brass plate with their name engraved. As
an organization this company was never called into the field, but
it supplied numerous officers to the Continental service.
Failing in his application for a commission in a marching
regiment, probably on account of his youth, Clarkson joined the
company of an elder brother David, who commanded a company
of the minute men of Suffolk County, of which Josiah Smith
was Colonel. This company took part in the Battle of Long Isl-
and, where Clarkson first saw active service. After the retreat
he seems to have joined his family at Brunswick, New Jersey.
While on a visit to Governor Livingston, he had the fortune to
6C4

meet General Greene, who became interested in him, and asked
and obtained from General Arnold then, in the Summer of 1777,
on his way to join the Northern army, an appointment on his
staff. Clarkson met his new Commander at Albany, and, joining
his military family set out for the main body, then in full retreat
from Ticonderoga. He was with his command in the last days
of July, and was severely wounded near Fort Edward in a skir-
mish with the savages. He quickly recovered and was with
Arnold on his march to the relief of Fort Stanwix. The raising
of the siege of this post for a time relieving the valley of the
Mohawk, Clarkson obtained permission to join Colonel Philip
Van Cortlandt in a night enterprise of peril. At the Battle of
Bemis Heights on 19th September, the Soldiers' Battle as it has
been called, Arnold not taking the field, Clarkson was permitted
to join Colonel Morgan's regiment of riflemen. At the close
of this engagement Arnold was relieved from his command.
Two of Clarkson's kinsmen, Brockholst Livingston and Richard
Varick, were his companions on Arnold's staff. He was again in
the field in the Battle of Stillwater, on the 7th October, and later
present at Burgoyne's surrender to Gates on 17th of October, the
nineteenth anniversary of the young Major's birth. Clarkson's
portrait appears in Trumbull's great picture of this historic event
in the rotunda of the Capitol.
Arnold lost his leg at Stillwater. On his recovery he was
appointed to the command of the city of Philadelphia, in which
he was assisted by his aides. Majors Clarkson and Franks.
Major Clarkson's connection with Arnold was fortunately brought
to a close by the General's resignation of his command in March,
1779. Involved in Arnold's controversy with the civil authorities
of Pennsylvania, Clarkson was forbidden by Congress to leave
Philadelphia, but at the intercession of his kinsman, John Jay,
he was permitted to join Major-General Benjamin Lincoln, then
commanding the Southern Department. He took part in the
bloody but fruitless assault of Savannah, in which D'Estaing co-
operated with the French fieet, and Pulaski fell. After this ac-

tion Clarkson was charged to take the news to Congress, and by
them to Washington at West Point, a journey in the saddle of
nearly a thousand miles, the first 714 of which were performed in
seventeen consecutive days. In January, 1780, he was again in
Charleston, and sent by Lincoln on a mission to Governor Cas-
well of North Carolina to hasten to his relief. The city was
threatened by Sir Henry Clinton. In this campaign Clarkson
served as Major in the light infantry. After the capture General
Lincoln and his suite, including Clarkson, were released on parole.
Major Clarkson was distressed by the treason of Arnold, to
whom he was attached, but on obtaining his exchange in Febru-
ary, 1781, his first step was to obtain a letter from Lincoln to
Rochambeau, asking permission for him to accompany the expe-
dition in pursuit of the traitor, who was already ravaging Vir-
ginia with a British command. This expedition was to consist of
a land attack by Lafayette, and the co-operation of the French
fleet from Newport, Clarkson was assigned to the " Jason," a
French frigate, and was present at the naval action off the capes
of the Chesapeake. The action was creditable to the French
fleet, but ended in their return to Newport.
On the final march of Washington and Rochambeau from
King's Ferry to Yorktown, Lincoln was in the advance and
Clarkson had resumed his position on his staff. He had, there-
fore, the supreme satisfaction of witnessing the two decisive ac-
tions of the war, Saratoga and Yorktown.
fl]i,;, ..: On the appointment of General Lincoln to the War Office,
Clarkson was made Assistant Secretary. Anxious, however, for
military distinction, he was permitted by Congress to offer his
services to the Marcehal de Bouille, who was about to invade Ja-
maica, a project which was, however, abandoned. In November,
1783, he was commissioned Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, and soon
after retired from the army. He was one of the founders of the
Cincinnati.
In 1786 he was made Brigadier-General of the militia of
Kings and Queens County ; a member of the assembly of New

Matthew Clarkson.
York in 1789 ; appointed Marshal of the District of New York
by Washington in 1791 ; Senator of the State in 1794. In 1798 he
was commissioned Major-General of the Southern District of
New York, and in this capacity was one of the pall bearers of
the urn in the funeral procession at Washington's death. In
1795 he was associated with his brother in general mercantile
business, and the same year was made Commissioner of Loans
of the United States by President Washington. In 1802 he re-
signed this position, and in 1804 was chosen President of the
Bank of New York, a post which he retained till a few days be-
fore his death in 1825. He was buried from his home, a large
house which he had erected on the corner of Pearl and Whitehall
Streets. The two Clarkson houses, 31 and 33 Broadway, were
built by his brothers. They stood on the west side of the street,
just above Morris Street, with rear gardens which reached to the
Hudson. There are two fine portraits of Colonel Clarkson, one
in military dress by Gilbert Stuart in T793, the other in civil cos-
tume by Waldo in 1828.
Colonel Clarkson is represented in the Sons of the Revolution
by his grandson Frederick Clarkson and his great-grandson
Benjamin Clarkson ; also by his great-grandsons Henry
Evelyn, John Jay, and William Augustus Pierrepont.

WILLIAM MALCOLM,
Colonel New York Levies and Colonel Continental Army.
Williain Malcolm, a native of Scotland, first appears in New
York as an importer of goods from Glasgow in 1763. His place
of business was in Queen Street, now Pearl. In the same year
he joined the Society of St. Andrew, and two years later became
its Secretary. After the war he was for a time one of its Vice-
Presidents.
His name appears in the beginning of 1776 as First-Major of
the Second Battalion of New York Independent Companies. At
this time these companies were reorganized and arranged in two
battalions ; the first, commanded by Colonel Lasher, included the
Prussian Blues, the Oswego Rangers, the Rangers, the Gren-
adiers, the Sportsmen, the Light Infantry, and the German
Fusiliers. The Second Battalion was commanded by Colonel
William Hyer ; Lieutenant-Colonel, Christopher Blancker ; First
Major, William Malcolm, and Assistant Major, George Foster.
The companies enrolled were the Grenadiers, the Free Citizens,
the Brown Buffs and the Light Infantry. There was also a troop
of light horse, with John Leary, Jr., as Captain, and a company
of Hussars. In these militia companies were representatives of
the leading families of the city : Livingston, Jay, Beekman,
Keteltas, Roosevelt, Duyckinck, Van Zandt, Berryan, Bogert,
Van Dyck, Van Wyck, Ogden, Rutgers and Gouverneur. The
uniforms of all were white underclothes, half gaiters and black
garters. The Sportsmen and the Rangers wore short green coats
with crimson or buff facing.
In March, 1776, Major Malcolm was ordered by the Provincial
Congress to dismantle the lighthouse at Sandy Hook ; to take

the glass out of the lantern, save it if possible, if not, break it ;
pump out the oil into carts, or pour it on the ground.
In June, 1776, he appears as Colonel commanding the Second
Regiment New York Levies. They were the Prussian Blues, the
Hearts of Oak. the Caledonia Rangers and the Light Infantry.
His experience with his countrymen of his command was not
happy. He wrote that he thought the State had a " bad bar-
gain of them." In December he was at Camp Nyack on the Hud-
son, where his troubles with his Scotchmen culminated. He was
advised by the Congress to offer them "a dollar to each man"
who would remain till the first of January. The State was in
alarm at the incursion of Sir Henry Clinton into the Jerseys. As
the service of the States took more definite shape Congress au-
thorized the raising of sixteen additional regiments, to be re-
cruited independent of State lines. In their report on the merit
of ofiicers, the Committee of the Provincial Congress said that
Colonel Malcolm was an " exceedingly good officer." Determined
to provide one of the additional regiments, they formed the several
independent companies of the two battalions into one and gave
the command to Colonel Malcolm. It did not strictly make part
of what was known as the Continental Line, but appears in the
records of the war as " Malcolm's Regiment," precisely as a sim-
ilar organization, commanded by Colonel Spencer of New Jer-
sey, appears as " Spencer's Regiment."
In June, 1777, Colonel Malcolm was stationed with his regi-
ment at Suff erns, on the Ramapo road, the boundary line between
New York and New Jersey. Here, and in or near the Clove, it
remained during the summer. In July Colonel Malcolm was
joined by Aaron Burr, then recently commissioned Lieutenant-
Colonel, and assigned by Washington to this command. The
regiment lay close to the picket line of the enemy, who scoured
the eastern counties of New Jersey almost with impunity this
season. In the autumn of 1777, before the decisive action of Sara-
toga, plans were devised to recapture the forts upon the Hudson,
which had fallen into the hands of the British. Colonel Malcolm.

was dispatched to Albany by Governor Clinton to prepare for
this movement. He returned to his command at Ramapo in Sep-
tember. He watched the motions of Sir Henry Clinton during
his raid into New Jersey for cattle. Lieut. -Colonel Burr was able
to prevent the ravages of small detachments. Towards the close
of the month Washington ordered Putnam to call in all outlying
detachments to his headquarters at Fishkill, and Malcolm was
directed to join General Parsons, who was called in from West
Point. Malcolm joined the main army at White Marsh, New
Jersey, in November, and passed the winter with it at Valley
Forge.
Colonel Malcolm was engaged by Congress in a variety of
affairs. In 1778 he was appointed Adjutant-General of the North-
ern Army, to the command of which General Gates had been
restored. He accepted, with the condition of holding command
of his regiment, and that it should be moved to the northward ;
the first of which was granted, the second left to the decision of
events.
Lieutenant-Colonel Burr, left in charge of the regiment, led
it at the battle of Monmouth, in Malcolm's absence, with great
gallantry, and had his horse shot under him at the bridge.
Washington moved his army to Haverstraw and established
it at White Plains, across the Hudson . In his new arrangement of
the troops, July, 1778, Colonel Malcolm was assigned to the com-
mand of Fort Arnold, as the first fortification at West Point was
called. In his letter to his old friend. Colonel Lamb, who had
been stationed at that post, Malcolm wrote that " The works were
not worth a farthing, and the fort was in as bad order as imagi-
nation could conceive ; not a pound of meat in the garrison and
but 200 barrels of flour." In October, 1778, Lieut. -Colonel Burr,
who was in poor health, tendered his resignation. He was given
a leave of absence, and only vacated his commission in March,
1779. Meanwhile the regiment had wintered at West Point.
Trouble was brewing for Malcolm. In the arrangement of
the Continental Line for the campaign of 1779, Spencer's New
670
William Malcolm.
Jersey Regiment of the "additional sixteen" and Malcolm's of
the same category were assigned to Colonel Spencer and to the
New Jersey Line as the Fourth New Jersey Continentals. Mal-
colm's command resisted this arrangement, and Washington,
though satisfied of the justice of their complaint, answered it in
the stern words, " That he could not look upon it in any other
light than that of mutiny ; and that rather than establish such a
dangerous precedent, he was determined to enforce submission
even should he have to send a detachment from the army;" but,
with his usual justice, he himself appealed to Congress to rec-
tify the situation. It was with diflSculty, however, that he
could prevent all the ofiicers from resigning their commissions.
In June, 1779, Malcolm was again in command of all the New
York Militia on the west side of the Hudson. Forts Clinton and
Montgomery were then threatened. Washington was at this
moment at the Ringwood Iron Works. The British, with 2,000
men at Verplanck's Point and 1,000 at Stony Point, both of which
they fortified, controlled the American communication at King's
Ferry.
Colonel Malcolm remained with the Command at West Point
till August, 1780, when Arnold was placed in charge. Arnold
was directed to order the New York Militia under Colonel
Malcolm to join the main army at Tappan. Writing again to
Lamb at Haverstraw, on the march, Malcolm says : " Here we
are. It is the devil ! Nothing to cover either ofiicer or soldier,
not even axes to cut boughs." In the Summer of 1780 the valley
of the Mohawk was ravaged by Sir John Johnson and Brandt,
the famous savage chief. Fort Stanwix was the key of the Mo-
hawk country. In September, Washington informed Governor
Clinton that, at the request of General Schuyler, he had ordered
Colonel Malcolm with the New York Militia to the defence of
the frontier. On his march up, Malcolm had a successful en-
gagement with a party of savages, and was prepared to reinforce
the fort. This seems to have been the last of his military ser-
vices. As he was not an officer of the line, his commission was
671
Biographies of Revolutionary Soldiers.
contingent on his command. In December he was relieved by
an officer of the regular line.
Davis, in his life of Burr, seems inclined in a spirit of narrow
partisanship to minimize the services of Colonel Malcolm. That
he was a great military officer has never been claimed, but the
esteem in which he was held by Washington and Clinton and
Schuyler, are enough to establish his right to the gratitude of his
country. He appears to have had great administrative power
and to have enjoyed the respect of his fellows as well as the
confidence of his superiors.
In 1784, the first election after the peace, he was chosen
Member of the Assembly, and again in 1787. He supported Colonel
Hamilton in his motion to restore the elective franchise to the
Tories, and his influence was in favor of the representation of
New York in the constitutional convention.
At the close of the war he resumed his commercial pursuits,
and was one of those merchants who, on the 20th of April, 1784,
petitioned the Legislature for the renewal of the charter of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Colonel Malcolm died after a short illness, supposed to have
been the malignant fever, September, 1791, and was buried the
next day with masonic and military honors.
He is represented in the Sons of the Revolution by his great
grandsons, Philip Schuyler Malcolm and Richard Malcolm
Montgomery and James Mortimer Montgomery, the latter
formerly Secretary of the State Society, and at present Secretary
of the General Society.
