  • A List of Pensioners of the War of 1812
    Commodore Macdonough Painted by Gilbert Stuart. Reproduced by permission of Messrs. Rodney and Augustus R. Macdonough. A List of Pensioners of the War of 1812 Edited by BYRON N. CLARK Librarian, Vermont Antiquarian Society. H With an Appendix containing names of Volunteers for the defence of Plattsburgh from Vermont towns, a description of the battle from con- temporaneous sources, the official statement of losses, and names of United States officers and soldiers at Burlington, Vermont, as shown on army pay and muster rolls recently brought to light. RESEARCH PUBLICATION COMPANy, Burlington and Boston, 1904, THE SHELDON PRESS, PRINTERS BURLINGTON, VT, • • » / pr PREFACE /6S HE Vermont Antiquarian Society has cour- teously permitted the publication of the inter- esting record kept by William G. Shaw of Burlington, Vt., during his activity as a pen- sion agent, so far as the notes relate to soldiers in the War of 1812. This record has particular value as it includes abstracts of the evidence presented by the claimant. There was no Ver- mont law requiring vital records to be kept by town clerks prior to 1840, hence attempts to learn the families of Vermont soldiers in either the Revolution or the War of 1812 frequently are futile. All who have had occasion to seek genealogical details in Vermont will realize the importance of this pension evidence. The Volunteers whose names are printed are from the towns of Burlington, Colchester, Huntington, Milton, Under- bill, Shelburne, Jericho, and Hinesburgh, and in all, number 189. The contemporaneous accounts of the battle were copied from the newspaper files in the Fletcher Free Library at Bur- lington.

With extreme diffidence the compiler sends forth this genealogical work, is thoroughly aware of its imperfections and incompleteness, and claims for it nothing more than a conscientious, laborious effort to collect and preserve the family historj'-, as much of it as could be ascertained by extensive correspondence, searching old papers, town rec- ords, etc. Some years since Mr. Asahel Newell died, leaving papers that the compiler had gradually expanded until quite a mass of material had col- lected, much too valuable to be lost. He had de- sired that all the historical matter collected should be published ; other friends also desired it. The work would gladly have been committed to other and more competent hands, had there been any such ready and willing to undertake it. Only those who have been engaged in gen- ealogical studies can justly estimate the mea- sure of labor, research, correspondence and pa- tience required in a task of this kind.

  • The William Wells Statues at Gettysburg and Burlington, Vermont
    A Tale of Two Statues: The William Wells Statues at Gettysburg and Burlington, Vermont This statue and bas-relief may remind future generations that Vermont raised men who dared to do even more desperate deeds than that famous charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava.1 By David F. Cross attery Park in Burlington, Vermont, overlooks Lake Cham- plain. During the War of 1812, an artillery emplacement con- Bsisting of embrasures for thirteen cannon was constructed to repel British warships coming up the lake from Canada, and these earth- works did withstand a harmless twenty-minute bombardment in 1813.2 The only Civil War connection here is the arrival the same year of Gen- eral Wade Hampton to command the force being assembled for an ill- fated invasion of Canada.3 This Major General Hampton (1752–1835) was the grandfather of Confederate Major General Wade Hampton III (1818–1902), who organized the Hampton Legion and commanded the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia following J.E.B. Stuart’s death at Yellow Tavern, Virginia. It is, therefore, somewhat of a surprise and an anachronism to en- counter in the center of Battery Park a large statue of a Federal Civil War cavalry officer. He stands eight feet five inches tall and is portrayed ..................... DAVID F. CROSS, M.D., is a retired physician residing in Ferrisburgh. Long fasci- nated by Vermont’s role in the Civil War, he is the author of A Melancholy Affair at the Weldon Railroad: The Vermont Brigade, June 23, 1864 (2005).

    The ~~ ~ Proceedings of the ~ Vermont Historical Society HISTORY SUMMER 1996 Propaganda, Pestilence, and Prosperity: Burlington's Camptown Days During the War of 1812 The arrival of the US. Army first doubled then tripled Burlington's population. The presence of 3,000-4,000 troops simultaneously boosted the local economy and created a number of social problems. By KAREl\' STITES CAMPBELL olone! Isaac Clark surveyed the scene before him on the morn­ ing of June 21, 1813. The crowd gathering at the U.S. Army Cencampment along the Burlington waterfront expected to wit­ ness the execution of eight deserters, four condemned to die by the gal­ lows, four to face the firing squad. To the solemn beat of regimental drums, the troops marched into the parade grounds and formed a square. The doomed soldiers were led into the center ofthe square and faced Colonel Clark, resplendent astride a white horse, his commander's sword hang­ ing by his side. The prisoners fell to their knees and begged for mercy: "We have offended and broken the laws of our country, and by them, we are condemned to suffer the most ignominious punishment .... We do as our only hope cling to the belief we shall be spared." All eyes turned to Colonel Clark when he responded: "Soldiers-You whose lives have become forfeited for the crime of desertion .. , know, that the govern­ ment, through me. has permitted you to return to duty, graciously pardoned you. " Clark warned the assembled troops never to expect such clemfncy again, for in the future "retributive justice will be as exem­ plary and terrible as its mercy has been conspicuous." For the benefit of the anxious townspeople, Clark stressed that the compassionate par­ don by the U.S.

G EORGE THOMAS STEVENS) FRANK A LLABEN GENEALOGICAL COMPANY Forty-Second Street Building New Y ork Copyright, 1 91 3, by Frank Allaben Genealogical Company DEC 2 r : g]3 d s V I 1*113 PREFACE In t he well known Hyde Genealogy, compiled by Chan cellor Walworth, is a short sketch of the Wadhams Fam ily tracing it back to the settler, John Wadham, of Wethersfield, Connecticut. The data for this sketch was furnished by my uncle, the Right Reverend Edgar P. Wadhams. Later he obtained some further data and, on his becoming Bishop of Ogdensburg, he gave this ma terial to me with the request that I continue the work. During the past twenty-five years, but more especially during the past five years, I have pursued the task of obtaining all available information relating to those of the name of Wadhams in America and elsewhere. Not withstanding my best endeavors it is probable that a con siderable number of those who should have been included in the work have not been found. The lineage of a few families by the name of Wadhams has been traced to a certain extent, but their connection with the main branch of the family has not yet been established. The records of these will be found in the Unconnected Lines. In t he preparation of the work I have freely consulted and availed myself of information from a considerable number of genealogical works to which I am much in debted.
