I Baruch Chase of Hopkinton N. H. now aged seventy three years testify and say That during the Revolutionary War I lived in my father's family in Cornish N. H. and about the year 1780 I was drafted to service and did service as one of the guard that was ordered for the defense of the people on Con- necticut River about two months - We were stationed at Col Jonathan Chase's in Cornish I was on guard every other night during the time I well recollect that about this time there was an alarm and danger was apprehended I was called out in the night and about the same time two men called Tories were taken and brought in and I understood they were afterwards sent on to Bennington Vt for trial but it was reported they escaped from their guard I think this was in the year 1780 but cannot be certain but am confident it must have been about the month of Au- gust from the circumstances of my eating cucumbers while out which made me very sick for a few hours About this time people on Connecticut River were in constant

fear of the enemy and I remember we all marched to meeting on the Sabbath under arms — The meeting house was not more than forty rods from Col. Chase's — Capt Sol- omon Chase lived about one fourth of a mile south of Col. Chase's
It was reported at that time that a premium was offered by the enemy for the capture of certain prominent and influential in- dividuals living on Connecticut River Of these I recollect Col Johnson of New- berry and Col Stone of Windsor Vt. Col Chase of Cornish and Col. Hunt of Chester Conn N.H. As it was reported and believed Col Johnson was taken and carried to Canada and Col. Chase and Hunt narrowly escaped
According to my best recollection in the fall of the year 1780 Royalton in the State of Vt. was burnt by the enemy and several of the inhabitants were taken and carried away. Royalton is situated about thirty miles from Cornish and is about four or five miles nearer to Cornish than the fort in Bethel which was considered a front ice fort Baruch Chase.
