< There is some reason for supposing that Ambrose Horton wiis imported from Southold, in Suffolk-county, to take the command of a Company in this Regiment ; but, wherever he may have originated, he euliste<I "fifty-si.x able bodyed men" for the Company; and reported them to the Provincial Congre3.s, from the White Plains, on the twentysixth of July, 1775, {HiMorical Mamtscripfjf, etc . : Military lietitnm^ xwi., 57.) Unfortunately, be did not return the names of those enlisted men.

'The First Lieutenancy of this Company waa originally given to Samuel Clannon, who appears to have given way for David Palmer, api)arently from Duchess-county ; and, in .\ugust, 1775, the latter was again raised, by being apiMiinted to the command of a Company, in this Regiment. While he held the Lieutenancy, he enlisted twenty-three men for this Company, in Richmond-county, {Historical Manuitcriptt, etc.: MUUury Returns, xxvi., .53.)

, was Second Lieutenant.* The names of none

of those who held Warrants, as Non-commissioned OtRcers, in either of these Companies, have been preserved; and it is to be regretted that, except in the instance of the Bedford Company, the names of those who were in the ranks, as Privates, are no longer known. A considerable number of the latter classes, with no other claim to distinction than their physical ability to work or to fight and their good intentions, was j)robably taken from the yeomaury of Westchester-county ; and, notwithstanding they were mostly detained at Ticonderoga, without having been permitted to join General Montgomery, before Quebec, as he particularly desired and requested they should do, there is no reason for supposing that tiiey failed, in the slightest degree, to discharge every duty which was laid on them, satisfactorily to their commanding Officers. Some of them are said to have served in Canada ; ' but it is understood that the Regiment was discharged, at the close of the term for which it had been enlisted ; and that the greater number returned, with honor, to their respective homes.
