  • The Mutinies of 1781
    THE MUTINIES OF 1781 Two mutinies of Continental Line troops occurred in January 1781 as a consequence of a lack of food, spirits, clothing, and pay for at least a year. While these harsh conditions were not unique for that time, the first mutiny led to but only a second that was dramatically quelled in short order. Six reGiments of the Pennsylvania Line were winter-quartered south of Morristown, New Jersey, under the command of General Anthony Wayne. On New Year’s Day, January 1, 1781, soldiers from the regiments of the Line mutinied to seek redress for their sufferinG state. DurinG the initial uprisinG, two officers, a Lieutenant White and Captain Samuel Tolbert, were seriously wounded, with a third, Captain Alan BittinG/Bettin of the 4th Regiment, killed. After taking a cannon, the mutineers marched directly to Princeton to air their grievances. There, a board of sergeants was selected, headed by Sergeant William Bouzar, which then met with the President of the Supreme Executive Council of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Joseph Reed. Following the initial meeting, Reed met with delegates of the Continental Congress at Trenton. Reed seems to have found their demands compellinG. Subsequently, the troop marched to Trenton for a continuation of the neGotiations. There, a Commission was created to consider mainly their one complaint concerning bounties paid out to enlistees in 1776 and 1777. Following the Commission’s review, immediate discharges were Granted to those three-year men whose enlistments were over. Each was promised partial payment of back pay in addition to items of need.

  • Freedom and Unfreedom in the “Garden of America:”
    FREEDOM AND UNFREEDOM IN THE “GARDEN OF AMERICA:” SLAVERY AND ABOLITION IN NEW JERSEY, 1770-1857 by James J. Gigantino II (Under the Direction of Allan Kulikoff) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines abolition in New Jersey between 1770 and 1857. It argues that the American Revolution did not lead white New Jerseyans to abolish slavery. Instead, the Revolutionary War and the years following it reinforced the institution of slavery in the Garden State. This dissertation first focuses on the factors that led New Jersey to pass the Gradual Abolition Act of 1804, specifically the rise of Jeffersonian Republicanism and the influence of Quaker abolition activists and then examines the elongated abolition period which followed the enactment of gradual abolition, beginning with the role of the children born under the law, those who I call slaves for a term. The role these children played in early national America challenges our understandings of slavery and freedom. Instead of a quick abolition process, slaves and slaves for a term in New Jersey continued to serve their masters in significant numbers until the 1840s and then in smaller proportions until the eve of the Civil War. The existence of slavery in a free state challenges our understanding of the rise of capitalism in the early republic as well as the role the North played in debates over nationwide slavery issues beginning in the 1820s. This long-standing relationship to slavery helped prevent the formation of a strong abolitionist base in the 1830s and influenced Northern images of African Americans until the Civil War. Abolition in the North became very much a process, one of fits and starts which stretched from the Revolution to the Civil War and defined how Americans, white and black, understood their place in the new republic.

  • The Revolutionary War in South Jersey the Documents and Stories Here Were Researched and Compiled by Rev
    The Revolutionary War in South Jersey The documents and stories here were researched and compiled by Rev. Norm Goos and Earl Cain as part of the history of Col. Richard Somers, 3rd Battalion, Gloucester County Militia. Col. Richard Somers Please visit our website: www.colrichardsomers.com And Like our Facebook page: Col. Richard Somers SAR Please enjoy, but don’t reproduce without contacting us. January 2020 The men of South Jersey in the Revolutionary War Virtually ignored by historians some believed the Col. Richard Somers’ 3rd Battalion Gloucester County Militia, a group of about 250 men from what is now Atlantic County, did nothing of consequence for the eight years of the Revolutionary War. Such was not the case. From the very beginning of the conflict in early 1775, these men were: 1) busy preventing continual British attempts to feed their troops by stealing from New Jersey farms, 2) "acquiring" British transport ships whenever they happened to venture too close to our beaches, 3) guarding existing American fortifications, 4) repelling Tory/Refugee/Loyalist attacks on Eastern Gloucester County beaches and towns, and 5) acting in important and integral roles in famous New Jersey battles such as Trenton, Princeton and Red Bank in Gloucester County. The purpose of this essay is to explain the 3rd Battalion’s influential and even likely tide-turning assistance to Gen. Washington in the famous Christmas 1776 battle at Trenton, and then at the twin battles of Trenton and Princeton a week later. As this story is told, you will be able to examine the actual words the various Atlantic County soldiers wrote or dictated in their Pension Applications in 1832 [hereinafter called PA].

  • By Robert A. Mayers the Dey Mansion, Washington’S Headquarters in 1780, As It Appears Today
    by Robert A. Mayers The Dey Mansion, Washington’s headquarters in 1780, as it appears today. n June 1780, Washington led the main body of the Continental Army into an area known as the Preakness Valley, also called Pompton and Totowa. Today it encompasses Wayne Township, Pompton Plains, Totowa and Pequannock, New Jersey. When historians refer to New Jersey as the “crossroads of the Revolution,” Ithis area was truly the hub—all the significant events of the period radiate out from here. Much has changed, of course, in more than 200 years, but many visages of the era remain. Except for a few local residents, it has been overlooked in history, and its past is often unmarked and unrecorded. Located at an important junction for commerce and communications, roads intersected here that led south to Paterson, Paramus, Acquackanonck (Passaic), Newark and Morristown in New Jersey and north to Ringwood, Suffern, Haverstraw and West Point in New York. From Pompton the American Army could quickly move 20 miles to the Hudson River if the British invaded north from New York City. The rich farmland of the area offered abundant sources of food as well as proximity to iron forges for shot and cannonball. Hub of the Revolution • Robert A. Mayers • www.GardenStateLegacy.com March 2012 Located on the long range of mountains that extend north across the New York state border, it is a land of fertile valleys and hills rich in minerals. Dutch farmers were the first European immigrants to settle in Pompton as early as 1694. They purchased large tracts of land from the Indians.
