Among the most faithful soldiers of the Revolution was Daniel 

 Hearsey. We found him first in Capt. Charles Cushing's com- 

 pany besieging Boston ; afterwards he enlisted in the Continental 

 service in Knox's Artificers, and subsequently his name appears 

 upon the rolls of Col. William Washington's celebrated regiment 

 of Light Horse, where he was a trooper for three years, having 

 for a comrade his townsman Castle Gardner. Finally, he closes 

 his military career as a member of " His Excellency Gen'l Wash- 

 ington's Guards, commanded by Henry Collfax," according to 

 the State House records. Colonel Collfax's name was, however, 

 W T illiam, not Henry as stated. 



Joseph Cook aiso served in the Second Regiment, Colonel 

 Greaton, and the Sixteenth, Col. Henry Jackson ; Marsh Lewis 

 was subsequently in the regiment of invalids, commanded by Col- 

 onel McFarland. Mark Wilson served at one time in Captain 

 Smart's company of Wigglesworth's regiment. Perez Gardner, 

 according to Mr. Lincoln, not only served in Colonel Yose's regi- 

 ment, but was also in Captain Flint's company of Colonel John- 

 son's militia regiment at the taking of Burgoyne ; was six months 

 on guard in Captain Foster's company at Cambridge, took part 

 in the Rhode Island campaign under the same officer, and in 

 Mcintosh's regiment in 1778, and subsequently in the campaign 

 in that State in 1780, under Captain Wilder of Gill's regiment ; 

 was eighteen or twenty months in Captain Warner's company in 

 Colonel Craft's Artillery. He was three years in the Continental 

 service in Captain Hitchcock's and Captain Mills's companies. 

 Though not given in the above list, Mr. Lincoln says that serving 

 with Mr. Gardner in the Continental service were Joshua Tower,
