He died estimated 1806 at the age of 78 in of Poultney, Rutland, Vermont. Nehemiah has reference number 64. NEHEMIAH HARMON by Cheryl Harmon Bills
Nehemiah grew up during a very unsettled period in American history. Conflicts were a way of life--and a challenging life it was! Nehemiah was an active participant in the birth of freedom for America.
Nehemiah’s grandfather and great-grandfather had helped settle and tame new land. Family ties were very strong. They lived near family; worked with family and married relatives. To put Nehemiah’s life into perspective, the rest of the story will be told in the form of a time-line:
Date Event
_________________________________________________________________
17 Apr 1728 Birth at Suffield, Ct--youngest child of Nathaniel Harmon and Esther Austin. His parents were about 46 when he was born. He had the following siblings:
Asahel twenty months older than Nehemiah
Simeon abt. seven years older
Joel abt. 8 1/2 yrs older
Mary abt. 11 years older
Reuben abt. 13 yrs older
Nathaniel abt. 15 yrs older
Two siblings died before Nehemiah's birth: His oldest brother was named Joel. He was born in 1711 and died in 1718. (Another brother was named Joel and he was born in 1719 and is listed above as 8 1/2 years older than Nehemiah.) The other death was of Ruth who was five years older than Nehemiah. She was born in 1723 and died as a small child in 1724 or 1727.
Nehemiah and Asahel grew up together in a family where they were the "babies" with four older brothers and one sister.
Nehemiah grew up not knowing his grandparents. Nehemiah's paternal Grandfather, Nathaniel Harmon, died in 1712--sixteen years before Nehemiah's birth. His Grandmother, Mary Skinner, then married John Hanchett who was sixty-four years old at the time of their marriage with Mary being only forty-six. Grandma Hanchett (Mary Skinner) died when Nehemiah was two years old. Nehemiah's maternal Grandfather, Anthony Austin, was a school teacher in Suffield. He died in 1708--twenty years before Nehemiah’s birth. His Grandmother Austin, was Esther Huggins. She died in 1697/8. Thus we see that there was no going over the river and through the woods to Grandma’s house for visits! However, very close ties existed among his extended family of Aunts and Uncles on both sides of his family.
Harmon Aunts and Uncles who lived in Suffield were:
Uncle James and Aunt Mary (Harmon) Barlow
Uncle Thomas & Aunt Elizabeth (Harmon) Loomis
Uncle Thomas & Aunt Elizabeth (Harmon) Dewey
Uncle William & Aunt Ann (Harmon) Judd
Uncle Samuel & Aunt Deborah (Winchell) Harmon
Uncle Joshua & Aunt Sarah (Harmon) Lyman
Uncle Elias & Aunt Ruth (Harmon) Alexander
Uncle John & Aunt Mary (Austin) Harmon
Uncle Benjamin & Aunt Hannah (Jacques) Harmon
Esther Austin had only one Uncle: Richard who married Abigail Batchelder. He was a tailor and lived in Charlestown, MA. He died in 1703 so she never knew him.
There was a lot of interaction with the Hanchett family that Nehemiah’s Grandmother, Mary Skinner, married into. Step-Aunts and Uncles were:-----------
Nehemiah's parents--especially his mother-- were educated and taught their children well. They grew up to be intelligent leaders of the communities in which they lived and passed the love of education down through the generations of time. One trait that the Harmons have possessed throughout the generations is an in-born gift for mathematics and science. They tend to be a highly intelligent family with a love of learning and desire to achieve.
TIMELINE:
30 Sep 1737 His sister, Mary, md. Daniel Sheldon, son of Jonathan and Mary (Southwell) Sheldon. Nehemiah was nine years old at this time.
6 Dec 1737 His brother, Nathaniel, md. Elizabeth Bridgeman, dau of James and Elizabeth (Ailes) Bridgeman, at Sunderland, MA.
23 Aug 1739 His brother, Reuben, md. Eunice Parsons, dau of Jonathan and Abigail (Smith) Parsons at Suffield, Nehemiah was eleven.
18 Mar 1744/5 His brother, Simeon md. Mary (Mercy) Spencer, dau of Thomas and Mary (Trumbull) Spencer at Suffield. Nehemiah was abt 16.
8 Jun 1744 His brother, Joel, md. Rebecca Phelps, dau of Joseph and Rebecca (North) Phelps. After this marriage, only Asahel and Nehemiah were left at home--both were teenagers.
1744 Nehemiah's step-grandfather, John Hanchett died--the only “grandparent” Nehemiah knew at all.
16 Oct 1744 His father, Nathaniel, died at Suffield at the age of 58. Nehemiah was 16. Picture of tombstone!
31 Aug 1749 Nehemiah md. Abigail Norton, dau of Freegrace and Sarah (Martin) Norton at Suffield. He was 21. This marriage introduces some new people into Nehemiah's life. Abigail was born 9 Mar 1727/28 at Suffield. She was the 8th of eleven children. Abigail’s grandfather, George Norton and Sarah (Martin’s) mother, Abigail Norton, were brother and sister. This made our grandmother, Abigail Norton's, parents first cousins. Abigail’s Grandmother Norton was Mercy or Mary Barber and her Grandfather Martin was Samuel Martin who had been involved in witch trials at Andover, Massachusetts.
Abigail’s parents’ oldest child also died. Her living siblings and their spouses were:
NORTON
Freegrace b. 1716/7 md Margaret Trumble
Samuel b. 26 Oct 1718
John b. 9 Jul 1720 md. Deborah Harmon
Deborah was Nehemiah's first cousin, daughter of his Uncle Samuel and Aunt Deborah (Winchell) Harmon.
Martin b. 15 Mar 1722/3 md Rhoda Harmon
Rhoda is a sister to Deborah who married John and is first cousin to Nehemiah.
Sarah b. 28 Aug 1724
Mercy b. 29 Mar 1726
This is where Abigail comes in b. 9 Mar 1727.
Elizabeth b. 14 May 1730
Johannah b. 30 Oct 1731
Robert b. 3 Nov 1733
In summary, Abigail had four older living brothers; two older sisters; two younger sisters and a baby brother who was 6 years younger than she. She and her siblings were all born in Suffield, CT.
1749 In 1749, the General Assembly of CT formally voted to receive Suffield residents under its jurisdiction. MA threatened to appeal to England, but quietly submitted to the choice of the towns and never afterwards made any serious attempts to enforce its claim.
The towns endeavored to come under CT government because MA had a larger public debt and imposed larger taxes than CT and the people took this way to escape the pecuniary burdens laid upon them.
The records for over 75 years are scattered over two states.
From 1749 until the outbreak of the Revolution is chiefly distinguished in colonial history by the French and Indian Wars. Several wars succeeded each other and Suffield bore an active and honorable part.
15 Dec 1749 It was voted to purchase a place for a burial ground in Suffield.
Feb 1750 A Committee of Samuel Harmon, Jonathan Sheldon, and Philip Nelson bought and fenced one square acre adjoining the church in Suffield to be used as a burial ground. The church was standing in the southwest corner of the plot. The Hrmon memorial, erected by Israel Harmon 3rd reads: “John b. England 1618; d. Springfield 1661; Joseph 1st. B. Springfield 1646 d. Suffield 1729; Nathaniel b. Springfield 1653; d. Suffield 1685, Brothers, first settlers of Suffield.
Harmon, Joseph 2nd 1682-1747
Harmon, Ebenezer 1727-1807
Harmon, Israel 1st 1753-1831 Soldier in Am. Revolution
Harmon, Israel 2nd 1784-1841
Harmon, Israel 3rd 1834-1913.
13 Jun 1750 Nehemiah and Abigail's oldest child, Nehemiah Jr., was born at Suffield. Nehemiah was 22.
18 Jul 1751 Nehemiah's brother, Asahel, md. Mary Parsons dau of Ebenezer and Martha (Ely) Parsons.
1752 His second child, Abigail, was born at New Marlboro, MA.
1754 His son, Selah, was born at New Marlboro.
20 Mar 1755 His son, Alpheus, was born at New Marlboro.
21 Apr 1755 The Connecticut General Assembly held March 1755 ordered raising 1,000 men in two regiments. Nehemiah was Serg. 1st on this date on the muster roll of the company in His Majesties service under the command of Major General Phinehas Lyman, Esq. No complete muster roll has been found; however, these men served in 1755, were in the battle of Lake George that year, and re-enlisted in 1756, receiving “half-pay” bounty for their service: Benjamin Bancroft, Nehemiah Harmon, John White, Joel Adams, David Bement, Phinehas Lyman, Jr., Noah Pomeroy, Benjamin Scot, Seth King, James Halliday, Ezekiel Hale, Zeb Norton, Edward Foster, John Spencer.
The expedition against Crown Point on Lake Champlain, had been entrusted to General William Johnson. His troops were drawn from Massachusetts and Connecticut and a regiment from New Hampshire. At the head of boat navigation on the Hudson, a fort was built, which, in honor of their commander, the soldiers named Fort Lyman--later called Fort Edward. Johnson left a garrison in this fort and moved about five thousand men to the head of Lake George and formed a camp there.
Early August 1755
The New England men, with Major-General Phinehas Lyman, “a man of uncommon martial endowments,” were finishing Fort Edward at the portage between the Hudson and the head springs of the Sorel. Toward the end of August, the untrained forces, which, with Indians, amounted to thirty-four hundred men, were led by William Johnson across the portage of twelve miles to the southern shore of the lake which the French called the lake of the Holy Sacrament. It was a mere wilderness with not a house in site. They named the waters Lake George, cleared a space for a camp of five thousand men and raised tents for the men. Wagon after wagon brought artillery and stores and boats for the troops who idled away the season. On the 7 September, a battle commenced between the Americans and the French. For five hours Lyman and the New England men kept up the most violent fire that had as yet been known in America. Almost all the French regulars perished. Of the Americans, there fell on that day about two hundred and sixteen, and ninety-six were wounded. The loss of the French was about the same. Toward sunset that evening, a party of three hundred French, who had rallied and were retreating in a body, were attacked by Macginnes of New Hampshire--who were victorious--at the cost of their leader, Macginnes, life.
General William Johnson and the men under Major-General Lyman built Fort William Henry near Lake George. When winter approached, he left six hundred men as a garrison, and dismissed the New England Militia. (George Bancroft, History of the United States, Vol 2 pg. 436-437)
29 Oct 1755 Muster Roll shows Nehemiah discharged this date.
29 Mar 1756 Connecticut General Assembly of Feb 1756 ordered raising 2500 men. Nehemiah enlisted as Serg in first company under the command of Major General Lyman.
20 Sep 1756 Nehemiah discharged and reenlisted as Ensign Harmon.
13 Oct 1756 Sargent Major Nehemiah Harmon confined this date at Fort William Henry Camp at the headwaters of Lake George. This fort stood on the bank of the lake almost level with the lake. Lofty hills overhung and commanded the wild scene. Winter came and froze the lake. There was no shelter against cold and storms. Using skates men would glide over the lakes and on snowshoes pass through the woods.
1 Dec 1756 Ensign Nehemiah Harmon discharged.
Jan 1757 Seventy-four French rangers and a party of ten or eleven sledges drove merrily from Ticonderoga to Crown Point. A battle ensued and fourteen rangers fell; six were missing. A sleigh, sent over the lake brought the wounded home.
2 Aug 1757 A force of six thousand French and Canadians, and about seventeen hundred Indians attacked Fort William Henry which was defended by Lieutenant-Colonel Monro with less than five hundred men. The tents and barracks were burned; cattle and horses chased away and stragglers were scalped. Fort William Henry surrendered and the French and Indians demolished it and once again Lake George resumed its solitude. Nothing was left to tell that civilized man had been here--with the exception of lonely crucifixes to mark the graves of the men who had died here.
20 May 1758 His son, Martin, was born at New Marlboro. He was their fifth child and fourth son. Martin is the ancestor of this author.
13 Sep 1759 The French and Indian War was over; Canada was won for England.
2 May 1760 Nehemiah purchased land in Suffield from Captain Abraham Burbank--a little over fifty acres for the sum of forty-four pounds. This land was on the west side of the mountain and north of the highway leaving to Manatuck. It appears to be a long, narrow piece of land bordering land owned by Jonathan Remington, Thomas Parsons, John Watson, Thomas Ingersole, William Allen, John Scott, David Froe, Judah Trumble, Thomas Taylor, Thomas Barbor, Joel Ingersole, Samuel Harmon, Thomas Cooper, and Robert Olds. Nehemiah’s land was on the right of the above mentioned land owners and ran from Lot No. 79 to 95. (Film 5694 Vol 2. Pg. 196 3rd part)
2 May 1760 Nehemiah purchased land in Suffield from Samuel Kent Esquire (Junior?)--thirty-two acres and a half and sixteen rods for thirty-two pounds. This land was also on the west side of the mountain on the north side of the road leading to Manatuck. Bordered land owned by Jonathan Remington, John Watson, Capt. Pynchon, William Allen, John Scott, David Froe, Thomas Taylor, John Youngglove, Robart Walford, Thomas Cooper and others and ran from Lots No. 79 to Lot 94. (Film 5695 Vol 3 pg. 24)
20 May 1761 On baby Martin's third birthday, his Grandmother, Esther Austin Harmon, died at Suffield. She was 75. Nehemiah was 31 years old. Sometime just prior to or just after the death of his mother, Nehemiah moved his family back to Suffield. Was it to take care of his mother in her old age? Was it to receive an inheritance?
1761 Nehemiah's sister-in-law, Rebecca (Phelps) Harmon, wife of Joel died. She had born eight children between 1744 and 1755--including one set of twins.

abt 1762 Nehemiah and Abigail had a baby girl born at Suffield and named her Esther after her recently deceased grandmother Harmon.
Dec 1762 Nehemiah's brother, Joel remarried a woman named Sarah Granger, dau of John Granger and Sarah Granger.
1764 The Vermont territory had been given by the British crown to both New Hampshire and New York under conflicting land grants. The disputes were settled in 1764 in favor of New York. However, by this time, Governor Benning Wentworth had already granted 128 townships and continued to grant others up to the time of the American Revolution. After the dispute was settled in favor of New York, that state began to regrant the same territory to others. The indignant settlers (our Harmon ancestors among them) drove out the surveyors with “beech seal” (fresh-cut rods) to enforce their withdrawal. The New York authorities continued to send surveyors and their grantees persisted in attempting to take possession of “their” newly granted lands. The New Hampshire grantees continued to eject the surveyors, sherrifs, and claimants by armed force. This was a time of much unrest for our ancestors!
1763-1769 Grantor Deeds Index at Suffield----2 entries for Nehemiah.
The old Harmon ancestral home in West Suffield which is still standing and in good repair. The house stands on the road to Granby, near the mountain. It possesses the hip roof, old-fashioned chimney, small windows, latches on the doors, great beams, and the other marks of the New England dwelling of ancient style. The ceilings in several of the rooms are of wood and there is very little plastering. There is a stout basement and a good kitchen and altogether the house seems fitted to last many years. The Suffield Harmons much as the Harmons the country over were a thrifty race and the town real estate records show four or five times as many pages devoted to this family than to any other family in the place. It is not known which Harmons lived in this home, but pictures of it are in many history books of Suffield.
abt 1765 Their daughter, Zelpha, was born at Suffield.
1767 Two daughters are supposedly born in 1755--are they twins? Names Mary and Mercy. Birth was at Suffield.
1767 Nehemiah's brother, Reuben, was one of the earliest settlers of the Mattowee Valley section of Rupert, Bennington, VT--coming from Suffield, CT by 1767. Reuben’s son, Reuben Jr. had the exclusive right of making Vermont copper coin, the weight and devices being regulated by the State. This coinage ceased in 1788 and the amount coined and put into circulation is unknown. These “Anctori Vermon” pennies are now very rare and quite valuable to coin collectors.
Include picture and description of coins here.
18 May 1768 Reuben Harmon was chosen Moderator at the first meeting of Rupert, Bennington, VT proprietors.
3 Feb 1769 Nehemiah purchased House Lot No. 4 in Rupert--part of the New Hampshire Land Grants. Ebenezer Strong was the original grantee; but Silas Hamilton is the one who sold the lot to Nehemiah for the sum of twelve pounds. At the time of this purchase, Nehemiah was a resident of Springfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts. This deed was recorded 23 May 1788.
18 Oct 1769 Nehemiah was one of the signers of a letter to Gov. Wentworth regarding the New Hampshire Land grants: (Other Harmons signing were: Reuben (his brother); Reuben Jr. (Nephew); Simeon (brother); Simeon Jr. (Nephew):
To His Excellancy John Wentworth, Esq. Capt. General & Governor in Chief of this majestic province of New Hampshire and to his Majesties Councill:
The petition of the Several subscribers hereto, who are actual settlers and inhabitants on the lands being on the WEST side of the Connecticut River and chartered by his Excellency Benning Wentworth Esq. late governor of the Province of New Hampshire aforesaid--humbly showing the several disadvantages and inconveniences we have 7 do still labor under since his majesty was pleased to let his pleasure be known by issuing a proclamation setting forth therein that the land chartered on the west side of the CT river by ... governor of New Hampshire should be in the province of New York.
1st: Whereas we had our land granted by his Excellancy Benning Wentworth aforesaid with such in our adgments as induced your Petitioners to settle the same & in consequence of said Grants your petitioners a..... expence have settled many of the said grants of land in proper townships and great numbers more were daily sitting until we were disturben with such letters as are enclosed which serve to dishearten many of us and to put a very great stop to the further progress in the settlement and improvement of said lands.
2ly: We have been molested with a number of writs of ejectments in several townships and threatened with many more and they are running our land out now as they declare by orders from the governor and Government of New York, also which serve to dishearten and greatly perplex us and is a great hinderance to the further settling of the land.
3ly: Whereas the said Governor Wentworth reserved in each township about three hundred and fifty acres of land for the venerable society of the same quality for the support of the gospele and the same for a school and the same for to lay as a G... which were great enducements to your petitioners to settle---but the Governor of New York hath patened out in large patents to particular gentlemen a great part of the aforesaid chartered lands without any reference to the fore mentioned privileges to our great inconvenience.
4ly: Our being obliged to remain in the Province of New York makes it very disadvantageous on account of its being near twice as far from New York than it is to Portsmouth from the lands & whereas we evermore and still shall be unamiously agreed within & to the Constitutional Law of Government of the aforesaid province of New Hampshire it being the Constitution we your petitioners have the greater part of us been brought up in from our youth & acquainted with.
The consideration of all which inconveniences which labor great difficulties upon us your petitioners most humbly conceive is very detrimental to the settlement of the lands whereas it is our serious and considered opinion that could we consistent with his Majesties Good will and pleasure obtain so great a favor as to be annexed to the aforesaid province of New Hampshire... many said and uncultivated spaces would very soon be planted with almost an innumerable number of inhabitants which would be a very great ... to said country and put as it were New Life and activity into the hearts of your petitioners whereupon your petitioners do with one entire accord ... humbly & earnestly pray that your Excellency & Council would be graciously pleased to take our difficult case & condition into consideration and take what method and use what means your Excellency and Honors shall in your great wisdom think most proper to be done 7 your humble petitioners as in duty bound shall ever pray. Dated in New England October 18, 1769 from The Papers of the Continental Congress 1774-1789. Film 1,616,524. (Nehemiah's signature is on these papers.) The signatures on this letter is the closest thing to a census of the Grants that I can find. There are 423 names.
1770 A regiment for defense of the New Hampshire grants was formed, calling themselves the “Green Mountain Boys.” Ethan Allen was made Colonel. The Governor of New York, William Tryon, proclaimed him an outlaw and offered 20 pounds for his capture. However, under the leadership of Allen and Seth Warner the settlers held the New York claimants at bay.
More about the Green Mountain Boys here
1770 Daughter, Eunice born at Springfield, MA.
1772 Daughter, Elizabeth, born at Springfield. She was their youngest child. They now have a family of five sons followed by five or six daughters--age range from 22 to newborn. Nehemiah was about 44 when Elizabeth was born. We have no information about Elizabeth except her birth, but we do know that all of the other children lived to adulthood and had families of their own.
3 Apr 1773 Proprietors's Meeting held at Rupert, VT. Ensign Nehemiah Harmon was chosen to inspect the laying out of the third division with 100 acres per lot. (See Harmon 61) This is the first time Nehemiah shows up on land records of Vermont.
6 Apr 1773 Survey Book of Rupert Vermont pg. 13. Reuben Harmon chosen moderator;
Green Mountain Boys
10 Jun 1774 Purchased 60 acres of land in Rupert, County of Charlotte, State of New York from brother, Reuben Harmon for 10 poounds. This land was bounded Southeasterly and Northeasterly on land belonging to Doctor McDonald; Southwesterly on a second division lot No. 39 already belonging to Nehemiah. This deed was not recorded until May 23, 1788.
4 Jul 1774 It was on this date that the people of Suffield denounced the policy of England, i.e. the tax on tea --taxation without representation, etc.-- and expressed sympathy for the unfortunate people of Boston whose port had been closed by England. They formed a committee to raise money for the relief of the poor in Boston.
13 Mar 1775 To prevent the royal sheriff from asserting jurisdiction over the New Hampshire land grants on the eastern side of the Green Mountains, a body of young men from the neighboring farms took possession of the court house in the New York County of Cumberland at Westminister. The royal sheriff had raised sixty men armed with guns and bludgeons and demanded possession of the building; and, after reading the riot act and refusing to concede terms, late in the night ordered his party to fire. In this way he made his entry by force, mortally wounding two. Armed men poured in from the towns in the Grants and from the borders of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Ethan Allen, foreseeing war with Great Britain, sent assurances to Oliver Wolcott of Connecticut that the “regiment of Green Mountain Boys would assist their American brethren.”
29 Mar 1775 In a letter to Samuel Adams and Joseph Warren at Boston, John Brown of Pittsfield wrote: “Should hostilities be committed by the king’s troops, the people on the New Hampshire Grants would seize the fort at Ticonderoga; and that they were the proper persons for the job.” Fort Ticonderoga was in Essex County, NY about halfway between Lake George and Lake Champlain and 100 miles north of Albany.
April 1775 Captain Elihu Kent and one hundred fourteen men marched from Suffield for the relief of Boston in the Lexington Alarm of Apr 1775. Within a month, more than one hundred-fifty men entered the service. The husbandman left his plow, the smith his forge, and the mechanic his workshop. Arms were brightened, accoutrements improvised, farewells spoken, and then the face of the men was turned towards Boston. All avenues to the threatened city were filled with men thronging and converging to the seat of war.
1 May 1775 Ethan Allen was encouraged to raise men chiefly in the New Hampshire Grants for the purpose of seizing the fort at Ticonderoga. Allen sent the alarm through the hills and valleys of Vermont.
7 May 1775 About one hundred Green Mountain Boys and nearly fifty soldiers from Massachusetts, under the command of Easton, rallied at Castleton, Vermont. Benedict Arnold arrived with a commission of colonel and authority to raise men to accomplish capturing the fort--his authority coming from the Massachusetts committee of safety. Arnold ordered Allen to surrender the command of his troops into his (Arnold’s) hand, but Allen refused, nor would his men march under any other leader. Ethan Allen was unanimously elected the chief and it was arranged that Arnold could go as a volunteer, retaining the rank of colonel without the command.
9 May 1775 The party arrived at Orwell. With the utmost difficulty, a few boats were brought together, and eighty-three men, crossing the lake with Allen and Arnold, landed near Ticonderoga. The boats were sent back for Seth Warner and the rear-guard, but Allen’s men dared not wait for Warner’s to arrive or there could be no surprise. The men were drawn up into three ranks and as the first beams of the morning broke over the mountain peaks, Allen addressed them: “Friends and fellow-soldiers, we must this morning quit our pretensions to valor, or possess ourselves of this fortress; and inasmuch as it is a desperate attempt, I do not urge it on, contrary to will. You that will undertake VOLUNTARILY, poise your firelock.”
At the word, every firelock was poised. “Faa to the right!” cried Allen; and, placing himself at the head of the centre file, Arnold keeping emulously at his side, he marched to the gate. It was shut, but the wicket was open. The sentry snapped a fusil at him. The Americans rushed the fort, darted upon the guards, and raising the Indian war-whoop, such as had not been heard there since the days of Montcalm, formed on the parade in hollow square to face each of the bar racks. One of the sentries, after wounding an officer, and being slightly wounded himself, cried out for quarter and showed the way to the apartment of the commander. “Come forth instantly, or I will sacrifice the whole garrison,” cried Ethan Allen as he knocked vigorously at the door of Delaplace’s quarters. The commander, Captain Delaplace, came out undressed, with his breeches in his hand. “Deliver to me the fort instantly,” said Allen. “By what authority?” asked Delaplace. “In the name of the great Jehovah and the continental congress!” thundered Allen, who then drew his sword and placed it near Delaplace’s head. He gave up the garrison and ordered his men to be paraded without arms. Thus, Ticonderoga, which cost the British nation eight millions sterling, a succession of campaigns, and many lives, was won in ten minutes by a few undisciplined volunteers without the loss of life or limb.
The Americans took with the fortress nearly fifty prisoners who were sent to Connecticut. They also gained one thirteen-inch mortar, more than a hundred pieces of cannon, swivels, stores, and small arms.
12 May 1775 Two days later, a detachment under Seth Warner, captured Crown Point, with its garrison of twelve men who surrendered upon the first summons. Arnold then obtained boats, pushed on, and captured St. John’s in the Sorel. Altogether, sixty prisoners were taken, and what was far more important, two hundred cannons and a large supply of gunpowder. Because of this, congress granted the “Green Mountain Boys” pay equal to that of Continental soldiers and New York was ordered to admit them into the Army.
May 1775 Within one month, Captain Kent and his army were back in Suffield. In May of that same year, 1775, a second company under command of Captain Oliver Hanchett was formed. This company consisted of 103 men--some of whom were re-enlistments from Captain Kent’s company. Captain Hanchett’s company remained in Boston during the summer of 1775, and it is thought they participated in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Sep 1775 Captain Hanchett’s company formed part of the expedition against Quebec. At the beginning of the march, provisions for 40 days were distributed to the various companies. In crossing streams and forcing a way through swamps and forests, many companies lost whole or part of their provisions. For 30 days they pursued their journey amid cold, rain, famine--through forests and swamps. In his own hand, Captain Hanchet wrote: “Having arrived before Quebec, in endeavoring to take that City by storm and by fortune of war, the Memoralist and most of his company who survived the attempt were taken, made prisoners, and himself put in irons, and continued captivity until the month of October 1776. Dan Harmon, son of Moses Harmon and Elizabeth (Norton) died near the walls of Quebec. He was 19 years, 11 months and 15 days old. 1776 A company was raised--partly in Suffield and partly in Windsor by Captain John Harmon of Suffield. It consisted of 80 men--most of whom were from Suffield.. This party formed part of the Continental Army and was probably in the campaign about New York. The enemy, with 30,000 men determined to reduce the city of New York to their possession. Washington, with an inferior number of troops, and his little army were in a perilous situation. It was in the early part of August--the busy time of the harvest season, yet, when the call was made, 14 regiements immediately set out for the front. Three companies marched from Suffield including all the militia of the town and probably every man in the place liable to military duty. Before these troops could return the crops had to be harvested and this task fell to the women of the households. Not only must they fulfill their household duties, but complete the labors of the harvest while their husbands, brothers, and sons confronted the enemy in the field. These women of the Revolution contributed much to the final triumph of the cause of their country! The other two companies recruited from Suffield were commanded by Captain Nathaniel Pomeroy and Captain Samuel Granger.

7 Jul 1777 At Hubbardton, Rutland, Vermont, a battle was fought wherein the British under General Fraser defeated the Americans under Seth Warner. This is the only Revolutionary War battle site in Vermont. Ticonderoga had fallen back into the British hands. The Americans under Colonel Seth Warner were ordered to wait at Hubbardton until the rear-guard arrived. He failed to follwo orders and overnighted at Hubbardton and neglected to post proper sentries. British General Simon Fraser, while in pursuit of the Americans, camped about one range of hills from the Americans. Indian scouts reported the location of Warner’s troops to Fraser and at 4:40 a.m. a raid on the Americans caught them unaware. During the skirmish, Colonel Nathan Hale and 70 of his men were captured. (This was the rear guard) The Americans at Hubbardton were surprised and scattered. Almost 1/3 of the Americans were captured and more than 40 were killed.

The Papers of the Continental Congress 1774-1789 include papers containing evidence of banditry and lawlessness on the part of the militia in the Grants and letters concerning the military activities of the Green Mountain Boys. The letters to congress from the residents of the Grants are mostly from Thomas Chittenden, Governor of Vermont and from agents of Vermont. These letters relate to Vermont's participation in the Revolutionary War, the right of the inhabitants of the Grants for form their own State and other aspects of Vermont's struggle for independence and recognition.

From Father Rene'Gueissner "Father Rene Guesnier" <ccsc@onemain.com> He is a descendant of Nehemiah's daughter Hannah.
Much of what you wrote clicked with me. I seriously doubt (though not sure) that Nehemiah
and Orilla lived in McDonough County very long. A few months ago I contacted a library
researcher in Bushnell, Ill. to try and find Hannah W. in some of the local cemeteries
--nothing. Have some cemetery books in McDonough County. Nothing on Orilla
and Nehemiah. Believe, though not sure, that Matthew Inman is buried next to Margaret
Jane Duncan (Matthew's 2nd wife) in Bardolph Cemetery. The graves are unmarked.
I have some stuff I got through Jim William's contact in the Inman Compendium. With you, I believe they (Nehemiah and Orilla)lived in the Territory but not in McDonough County---There are no census records on them in McDonough County.

Just this morning I copied and readied to mail a list of Harmon (Harman) men and women
who were married in Peoria County. There may be a clue there. I recently became aware that Jesse Nehemiah's 2 sons James Lorenzo and Levi Norton were born in 1850s in Tennessee, Ill.
That is in the county but not in the IMMEDIATE vicinity of the rest of my branch of Inmans.

Will look into those probate records if I ever find out how to get them. I've got to get to McDonough County and that territory sometime before I become decapacitated. I'm always so far behind and it's so difficult to find a substitute priest for weekends. Nehemiah's and Orilla's family just seems to have dropped out with out much of a clue. There has to be a hint there someplace and with you I believe the best place to look is Peoria and the Kingston Mines area.
I wonder why NONE of Nehemiah and Orilla's descendants have shown up on the web searching for family. I have also encountered a serious roadblock trying to find out what happened to Frances
Inman, Matthew's sister. She married a John Stokes in 1841 and disappeared. I have a hunch that John was a Mormon and she and he followed Joseph Smith and his followers to Utah. Who knows? Not a sign of them.

I cannot locate this family on the 1880 census index.

Oliver N. Harmon, son of Oliver and Susan Harmon was born at Elk Creek, Erie, PA Oct 13, 1826. At the age of eight, his parents moved to Kirtland, Ohio. He was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1836. While living in Kirtland, the Kirtland Temple was dedicated in March 1836. The night after the dedication, he saw the Temple lighted up and heard the most beautiful singing. In 1838, he started for Fart West, Missouri, going as far as Durach County, Illinois. He met the Saints returning from Missouri. He lived here until 1842 when he moved to Nauvoo, Illinois. Here his father died August 17, 1843.

On Nov 17, 1843 (It was actually 1842), his brother Orsie went to meet his Uncle Alpheus who was returning from a mission when a storm arose and they both froze to death.

On Feb 27, 1843, he was ordained a member of the 18th Quorum of Seventies in the Seventies Hall in Nauvoo. While he was living here, he had many associations with the Prophet Joseph Smith, who was often in his home. Here he heard the principles of the gospel while listening to his mother and Joseph discuss them. At his last visit, Joseph said, "Mother Harmon, I am going as a lamb to the slaughter." A few minutes before the death of Joseph and Hyrum, Oliver passed the jail. Everything was quiet. From a short distance, he heard the shots that claimed Joseph and Hyrum Smith. At the time, his older sister, Emily, was working for the Jailer's wife.

The death of his father left him to take care of his mother and his youngest brother, Levi. Not having traveled much, when the call came for volunteers for the Mexican War, he told his mother he was going to join the army to see some of the country. On the 11th June, he left Nauvoo, crossed the Mississippi River, went to Council Bluffs, Iowa where he enlisted July 16, 1846 with Co. E. Mormon Battalion under Col. St. George Cook who was instructed to build a road to the Pacific.

The route lay by the way of Fort Leavenworth across the trackless plains to Santa Fe, New Mexico, a distance of seven hundred miles. Here they again filed out for California, following the Rio Grande three hundred miles, then due west to the Colorado by way of the Gila River. The route lay across ninety miles of burning desert, with beds of drifting sand, and without water, except deep wells which they dug, and which further travelers enjoyed. With ropes fastened to their shoulders, they drew the wagons up steep mountain sides. With pick axes and crowbars, they made roads through deep chasms of rock which was narrower than the wagons.

Dec. 18, 1846, started the march for Gila River. Before them was a vast desert. They marched forty miles and camped without water. Sometimes they had to cook rawhide to stay hunger. Sometimes men fell by the wayside because of thirst and heat. Here they stayed until night came on before they could finish the march to camp.

On Dec. 19, they started without water, marched all day and part of the night, again without water. They spent Christmas on the burning desert with nothing to drink or eat. They finally reached San Diego, CA January 2, 1847, marching a total of 1,700 miles, thus completing the most wonderful infantry march in history.

He was discharged at Los Angeles July 16, 1847 and reenlisted July 20, serving in the Indian troubles in California and was discharged March 14, 1848. In September of the same year, he went to work in the gold fields and was working on Sutter's Mill race when gold was discovered. He worked until July 1857 when he left for Utah again making a journey of 700 miles on foot. He reached Salt Lake in September and visited with his Uncle Jesse Harmon and sister Lucinda, then went to Spanish Fork where his brother Levi N. and mother lived. He stayed with his brother until October 18, 1859, when he was married to Sarah Jane Rodeback by Bishop Frederick J. Kesseler of the Sixteenth Ward.

He was one of 1,250 men who held Johnson's Army at the head of Echo Canyon in 1857 until permission was given them to enter.

His mother died at the age of 74 on August 25, 1862. He moved out to Weber and started farming for himself. He worked on the Union Pacific Railroad through Echo Canyon from 1862 to 1869 for which he received in pay one Frankllin stove. In 1866, he sent his team back to Missouri to bring emigrants, which brought his sister, Emily, to Utah.

On October 23, 1866, he was commissioned by Governor Charles C. Durkee as Captain of Company C Infantry, Second Battalion, 1st Regiment, Nauvoo Legion Summit Military District, Utah Territory. He served in the Black Hawk War.

In 1872, he moved to Clifton, Idaho where he was chosen as the first Superintendent of Sunday School. In 1875, he moved back to the Weber River, where he lived until he moved in 1893 to the Snake River Valley.

As a true descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, through the loins of Ephriam, he was always ready to serve at the call of the Master. He was ordained a Patriarch in the Bingham Stake, which office he held at his death, July 12, 1901.

"Original Circular to the Mormons"
(Presented by Brigham Young and Captain James Allen
on July 1, 1846 at Council Bluffs, Iowa)
http://www.mormonbattalion.com/history/circular.shtml
"I have come among you, instructed by Col. S.F. Kearney of the U.S. Army, now commanding the Army of the West, to visit the Mormon camp, and to accept the service for twelve months of four or five companies of Mormon men who may be willing to serve their country for that period in our present war with Mexico; this force to unite with the Army of the West at Santa Fe, and be marched thence to California, where they will be discharged.
"They will receive pay rations, and other allowances, such as other volunteers or regular soldiers receive, from the day they shall be mustered into the service, and will be entitled to all comforts and benefits of regular soldiers of the army, and when discharged as contemplated, at California, they will be given gratis their arms and accoutrements for which they will be fully equipped at Fort Leavenworth. This is offered to the Mormon people now. This is an opportunity of sending a portion of their young and intelligent men to the ultimate destination of their whole people, and entirely at the expense of the United States, and this advanced party can thus pave the way and look out for the land for their brethren to come after them.
"Those of the Mormons who are desirous of serving their country, on the conditions here enumerated, are requested to meet me without delay at their principal camp at Council Bluffs, whither I am going to consult with their principal men, and to receive and organize the force contemplated to be raised.
"I will receive all healthy, able-bodied men from eighteen to forty-five years of age."

[It appears that Aurilla had two grandchildren with her--both children of her son, Jesse Nehemiah by two different wives. Her daughter, Sarah Louisa who would have been 20 in 1850 married Lysander Baldwin (Goldwin) from Kingston, ILL--so am searching for them.
WHERE IS HER HUBBY???? Who did she move to Peoria to be near? A married daughter???
Peoria appears to be a mining community and Aurilla is right in the middle of several miner families; no occupation is given for her. Did her husband die in a mining accident?

Illinois.

CHURCH: Film 183375 Baptisms for the Dead at Nauvoo pg. 72 Orsa was baptized for Myron Harmon-brother

DEATH: The following is from Appleton Milo Harmon's journal:
It appears that Arzey had fallen first, being of tender constitution. The howling blast had overcome them and the snow was falling fast and the wind blew. My uncle had left his nephew some twelve or fourteen miles toward Carthage. Being without chart or compass and the snow falling so fast that no landscape or mark on the road was visible, lost and bewildered; overcome with fatigue and hunger and cold, uncle fell asleep lying on his face. He was found five or six days later; frozen stiff, leaving a widow and seven children to mourn his loss.
And thus perished two martyrs to the cause of truth and missionary labors.
