agent of the town to collect the stock of ammunition. In 1775, he was chosen delegate to the Provincial Congress at Cambridge. In 1774, he was chosen colonel of the 2nd Regiment of the "eight months' men," and was at Cambridge on the 21st of April, 1775, and was ordered to Roxbury. He was at the evacuation of Boston and unbarred the gates with own hands. His regiment was soon after ordered to New York. In May, 1776, he temporarily retired from the service, owing to a rupture occasioned by a violent fall the year before. On April 2, 1777, he was promoted to brigadier-general, and joined the Northern Army under Gen. Schuyler. He was afterwards ordered to Fort Dayton, on a movement for the relief of Fort Stanwix, and then came back to the Hudson River. He fought under Gen. Arnold in the battle of September 19th and in that of October 7th, and was present at the surrender of Burgoyne. He and his brigade were then ordered southward, and in November were as far south as Fishkill, New York.
According to a monument at Valley Forge, he led his brigade under Major General Baron DeKalb, leader of DeKalb's Division of the Continental Army, and was encamped at Valley Forge from December 19, 1777, until June 18, 1778, The units included three Massachusetts Infantry groups: the 2nd under Col. John Bailey, the 8th under Col. Michael Jackson, and the 9th under Col. James Wesson. However, in February he had applied for leave to resign because of ill health. This was recommended by Gen. Washington. So he may not have remained with his troops until June 18, as the monument at Valley Forge indicates. His letter of resignation was sent on March 12, 1778, from Boston, and was accepted on March 24. He was granted a disability pension in 1793 which continued until his death in 1801.
