MEN WITH ETHAN ALLEN AT TICONDEROGA Page 142
----------
We copy the following article from the Burlington, Vt., Free
Press in the hope of aiding Mr. Bascom in his search.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
Dear Sir:--I am tempted once more to ask you to publish
the names of those who were engaged in the expedition against
Ticonderoga under Ethan Allen. Twice before this list has been
published in your valued sheet and each time it has brought
numerous additions and corrections to the roll. I cannot believe
that the sources of information are as yet wholly exhausted.
Some names that have been heretofore found in the list are now
omitted because further investigation has convinced the author
that such names had been improperly inserted. If any one is able
to add to the appended list of names, I should be grateful for
any information in this regard; and if correspondents will refer
to the authority for the statements contained in their
communications, my obligations will be increased. All
communications upon this subject will be promptly acknowledged.
The roll today stands as follows:--
Colonel Ethan Allen, Amos Callendar,
Benedict Arnold, Major Noah Callendar,
Thomas Ashley, John Crigo,
Ira Allen, Colonel Robert Cochran,
Ebenezer Allen, Captain Benjamin Cooley,
Heman Allen, Colonel John Chipman
Levi Allen, Captain Asa Douglass,
Nathan Beeman, Captain Israel Dickinson,
Major Samuel Beach, John Deming,
Colonel John Brown, Amariah Dana,
Epaphras Bull, Josiah Dunning
Isaac Buck, Jr., Matthew Dunning
Samuel Barnet, Lieutenant Benjamin Everest,
Elijah Babcock, Colonel James Easton,
Captain John Bigelow, Dr. Joseph Fay (probably Jonas)
Samuel Blagden, Josiah Fuller
Thomas Barber, 3d, George Foote,
