In the year 1860, certain descendants of
Revolutionary officers in Connecticut be-
gan to make inquiries as to what steps
were necessary to revive the dormant
Connecticut society. con account of the
state of the country" however, nothing
was done, until 1888, when on the 18th of
July, Hon. John Fitch, a member of tho
New Jersey society, Major J. G. Kinney of
the same society and several other gentle
men met in the senate chamber of the
Capitol at Hartford and attempted to re-
vive the Connecticut society. Judge
Fitch died soon after, and tho movement
failed.

at the capitol and provisional
| organization of the Society of the
| Cincinnati was effected. At . special
meeting held at Stamford, November 10,
| 1889, the following gentlemen were chosen
delegates to the triennial meeting of the
general society, to present q petition for
permission to organize the dormant Con-
necticut society:
I L.
ray, Nathan G. Pond, Satterlee Swart-
won't and A. N. Lewis.
The delegates attended the general meet
ing at Baltimore, May 7-10, 1890. General
| Morris and A. N. Lewis made addresses in
support of the petition, which was re-
ferred to a committee of one from q
state. The committee appointed a
sub committee of Dee to examine the
claims of the petitioners, forty in number.
The papers Of thirty of the petitioners
have been approved by the committee.
Major General William B. Franklin of
| Hartford, and the late Major General Al
fred Fl. Terry of New Haven. It is be-
Geved that the petition will be granted
aud the society restored at an early date.
Those who are engaged in reviving this
venerable and illustrious society desire the
cooperation of every gentleman who is
eligible and worthy to engage in this
laudable and patriotic undertaking.
1t would seem that mono whose birth
! and lineage entitle them to aid in reviving
the dormant Connecticut society would
| withhold their assistance and cooperation.

/ which bears upon it's rolls the names of
Washington, Steuben, Hamilton, Frank

| Rochambeau, De Grasse and other worthless
is an honor not to be slighted by any one
who has any pride of country or spirit Of
patriotism. Is not the Cincinnati s1eagle'
2 legacy which any father may be proud
/ to bequeath to his eldest son and the gen.
erations after him2

eating that he disdained to wear among q

which could be construed repugnant to
liberty and equality. :
It is worthy of note that General Heath,
