May 17, 1773, the town voted to build a powder-
house — probably at Head's Hill, which, it is believed
was known as Powder-House Hill. The powder-house
was stocked with ammunition. "Six half-barrels of
powder, bullets and flints proportionable."



CHAPTER CLXIX.



iRADFORD -{CoiUinued).



It appeared from the journal of Captain William
Kimball, who, during the French War of 1765,
marched a company from Bradford to Stillwater,
New York, that all his men returned to their homes
in safety.

The same good fortune attended the company of
forty men, commanded by Captain Nathaniel Gage
which was in the battle of Bunker Hill. Although
stationed in a place much exposed to the enemy, not
a life was lost. Tradition has brought down- the
story that this was one of the best disciplined and
most effective companies engaged on that day, having
been carefully instructed by an English deserter,
who, in 1820, was still living in Haverhill.

Early in the troubles with Great Britain a town-
meeting was held in the West meeting-house, January
7, 1773, to see what, if any, instructions should be
given to the town's representative relating to the
existing difficulties. The town chose a committee to
report what should be done, and adjourned to six
o'clock, P.M., the same day. Instructions were
adopted to Captain Daniel Thurston, the town's repre-
sentative in the General Court, informing him that his
constituents felt " very great uneasiness at the infringe-
ments on our national and Constitutional rights, by
many of the late measures of the British Adminis-



tration, particularly of the taxation of the Colonies,
and the granting of salaries to the judges of the Su-
perior Court, measures adapted, as we apprehend, to
lay a foundation in time to render property pre-
carious, and to introduce a system of deception which
we cannot but view with the utmost aversion, and to
which we cannot submit while possible to be avoided.
We recommend it to you as our Representative in
General Assembly, to use your influence to obtain
redress of all our grievances, and in particular to
enquire whether the support of the Judges of the
Superior Court has been adequate to their services,
offices and station, and if not, to use your influence
in obtaining suitable grants and establishments as
may be thought sufficient to remove all pretence that
government is not supported among ourselves — which
was voted unanimously."

It will be remembered that most of the country
towns on the patriotic side followed the bold and
shrewd leadership of the Boston Committees, under
the masterly management of Sam Adams. This vote
certainly showed that Bradford was sound, and it
remained so throughout the war.

The town was represented in the Provincial Con-
gress, which assembled at Concord, October 11, 1774,
by Captain Daniel Thuriton, who was also chosen to
represent the town in the Provincial Congress, held
in the following February at Cambridge.

More ammunition was laid in store, and thirty
pounds sterling were voted for that purpose, and this
before open hostilities had commenced. The enlist-
ment of minute-men now commenced, and these were
drilled, equipped and paid by the town. The num-
ber of hours required for drill was increased from
time to time, as the emergency seemed to demand, so
that they might be ready to contribute their aid when
needed. Town-meetings now were frequently held ,
adjourning often to the East or West meeting-house to
hear reports from committees, vote supplies and
encourage each other.

The town-meeting called May 23, 1775, wa-( an im-
portant one. It was the first after the battles of Lex-
ington and Concord. The Massachusetts army had
appealed to the town for aid, and the articles needed
were stated in a circular from a committee of supplies.
The town was also called upon to choose a Committee
of Correspondence, according to the recommendation
of the Provincial Congress.

The supply for the army called for was voted and the
committee chosen. This committee were instructed to
return the names of those persons who deserted the Pro-
vincial service to the county committee, unless they re-
turned to duty. Soon after the battle of Bunker Hill —
June 28, 1775— being only eleven days after, another
town-meeting was held, encouraging re-enlistment of
the minute-men, and promising to pay them.

At a town-meeting held June 20, 1776, it was voted,
apparently unanimously, to desire Dudley Carleton,
the Representative in General Assembly, " as our rep-

resentative, to use your utmost endeavor that our
delegates in General Congress be instructed to shake
off the tyrannical yoke of Great Britain, and declare
these United Colonies independent of that venal, cor-
rupt and avaricious court forever — provided no pro-
j)osals for a happy reconciliation be offered, which
the honorable congress think proper to accept; and
we hereby engage that we will, at the risk of our
livfs and fortunes, endeavor to support and defend
them therein."

This town also lent its aid in securing the observ-
ance of the State act to preventmonopoly and oppres-
sion. Abraham Day, Jr., was chosen to guard the
town against the danger arising from internal enemies.
It would be impossible to give all the details of the
various town-meetings, fifty or more in number, held
to carry on this war. But the records abound in evi-
dence of the zeal and readiness of the people to do
their part, by voting supplies and furnishing men.

The town seems to have met the calls upon it dur-
ing the war, for men and supplies, with at least
reasonable promptitude.

The delegate from Bradford to the convention held
at Cambridge, in 1779, to form a State Constititution,
was Peter Riissel, Esq. The new Constitution was
accepted by the town after some discussion upon the
third article.

The feeling against those who opposed the Revolu-
tion and lefD the country during the war, or conspired
against it, was very strong ; and a vote was passed in-
structing the Representative to use his utmost en-
deavors to prevent all such from ever returning to live
again in this Commonwealth.

When the Rebellion broke out, the town of Brad-
ford, at a meeting held April 26, 1801, voted one
thousand dollars to be used for the benefit of soldiers
volunteering, or called into the service. E. F. Brig-
don and Georgo Johnson were chosen to act with the
selectmen in the distribution of this money. It was
voted that no soldier receiving aid from the town,
s-hould, for that cause, be subject to any disability as a
citizen.

The selectmen were authorized to borrow money
necessary to furnish State aid to the families of vol-
unteers, in conformity with the laws of the Common-
wealth. Money was raised to pay bounties in order
to fill the quotas of the town. Bounties were also
raised by private subscription. In 1863, town bonds
were issued for the payment of aid to the families of
deceased soldiers.

August 20, 1864, a unanimous vote of thanks was
passed to the selectmen " for their energy and success
ill filling the quota of the town. They were author-
ized to use their own discretion in bringing home the
bodies of soldiers killed in battle or dying while in
service, and in defraying transit charges and funeral
expenses. The town, at the close of the war, had a
credit of thirty-one men, over and above all demands.
Four of the number were commissioned officers.



The comrades annually decorate the graves of thirty-
one who fell. The town expended $22,149.42 on ac-
count of the war, and 18,756.33 was raised in addi-
tion from private subscription, making a total of $30,-
906.05. $11,915.03 was paid out to the families of
volunteers, which the Commonwealth refunded. The
war debt of the town has been extinguished.

The women of the town worked with energy and
zeal, to supply the needs of the soldiers and their
families. They worked largely in co-operation with
the women of Haverhill, as the " Soldiers' Relief So-
ciety of Haverhill and Bradford." Their cares for
the suffering ceased only when there were no more to
care for. During the war, the following were select-
men : In 1861, Richard Haseltine, Samuel W. Hop-
kinson, Leverett Kimball ; in 1862, Edmund Kimball
John Perley, Samuel W. Hopkiuson ; in 1863, Samuel
W. Hopkinson, Walter Goodell, Nathaniel Carleton ;
1864 and 1865, Charles B. Emerson, John Perley, A.
Judson Day. The town clerk, during all these years,
was Nathaniel Hatch. The town treasurer in 1861
and up to August 19, 1862. was thence, till after the
close of the war, Harvey M. Tovvle.

Judge Carter had four sons in the service.

Dr. George Cogswell's two sons, George B. and
William, born in Bradford, served one as surgeon of
the Twenty-ninth Massachusetts, the other, as Col-
onel of the Second (Brevet Brigadier-General, Decem-
ber 15, 1864).

The following is a record of soldiers and seamen,
