The enlistments in 1777 and 1778 of three years' men numbered about fifty, several of whom had previously seen service. Capt. Daniel Reynolds commanded a company of seventy men at Bennington. David McClory and Adam Taylor lieutenants. John Smith. John McKeon. John Anderson, and John Robinson sergeants. Lieutenant McClory was killed there, and is said to be the only man from Londonderry who lost his life in battle during the war, although according to the muster-rolls the town furnished more men than any other in New Hampshire. Twenty-five men under Capt. Joseph Finlay served for a short time at Saratoga in 1777, and the same year there were five men in Col. Henry Jackson's regiment. In 1778 the town paid bounties to twenty men for service in Rhode Island. 1779 there were seventeen enlistments; in 1780. thirteen; in 1781. thirty.

The two oldest sons came to Acworth in 1780, their outfit being a pair of oxen and sled, with which they brought their provisions, cooking utensils, and other appliances, for frontier life � the snow being then so deep and hard, that they were able to drive their team across lots and over fences on their journey to their new home. The father, mother, and remainder of the family came to Acworth the following month. Samuel was, for many years, an active and efEcient officer in the Congregational Church. His grave and serious manner of conducting the weekly prayer-meeting in his district will be remembered as long as any sur- vive who were accustomed to attend them. Upon occasion, he would give medical as well as spiritual advice to his friends and neighbors in need. His opinion in legal matters was also much relied upon, and he was often selected as executor of wills. In short, his judgment, on all matters with which he was cognizant, was much trusted. He m.
