In all the money raised by this committee during the war, to which reference will afterwards be made, the only item which is not that of relief, in weekly payments, to the wives and parents of actual soldiers, is found in the sums first subscribed by Mr. Titu.s, and ajiplied to the purposes of the company itself The hundred dollars served to keep the men together, by enabling their board to be paid in the city till accepted ; while their fare was provided for to the camp. It is probable that, if this sum had not been raised, the company would have disbanded, and been lost sight of, as were others. The town of Cortlaudt, almost at the same time, sent out sixty men, raised by Mr.
Benjamin R. Simpkins. For the want of the money that kept the Port Chester company together, this fine body of young men became lost in the great city of Xcsv York, and drifted into different regiments, 80 that not a man of the sixty was ever credited to the county, and not a few of them returned home. Another party of sixteen went ofl'to AVhite Plains, under the command of Mr. William M. Bleakley, of Verplanck's Point. On the roll of Company A, Twentyseventh Regiment, they appear as credited to Elmira, of all places in the world.
