Addenda To Previous Matter.
Sewall, Hist. Woburn, p. 206, alluding to the petition of Josiah Johnson [p. 5, ante] refers also to a similar petition of Timothy Richardson, of Woburn, asking relief, in consideration of the wounds he received in the battle of Pigwacket, and refers for his authority to the records of the General Court.
NOAH JOHNSON [p. 7, ante]. Important references are made to him in articles relating to Lovewell's fight, in the N. E. H. & G. Reg. 7: 69, and Fox's Dunstable, 122-123, 161-162. According to the latter, a son, Noah, of Noah Johnson, was an officer in Roger's Rangers, and this son and another son of his in the same corps and war were killed. How true it is, I do not pretend to say, but Dr. Samuel A. Green, of Boston, in his Groton Historical Series, vol. 2, No. 8, p. 367, clears all mist from any doubt as to the exact date of death of senior Noah Johnson. He cites the notice of death from the Columbian Centinel (Boston), Oct. 24, 1798, a current publication, where the place is given as Plymouth, N. H., and the age of Deacon Johnson, the deceased, as 104. The notice mentions him as having been in Lovewell's Fight, and states that he had been for three or four years past the last survivor who was engaged in that memorable transaction. Dr. Green in the same connection gives other particulars regarding him.
Josiah Walton's Journal, 1755 [N. E. H. & G. Reg. 5: 42] contains a brief account of his going with Major Nichols to Crown Point, in a company under that officer's command. They left Reading on Monday, June 30, 1755. Their route was through Woburn, Bedford, Concord, Sudbury, Westborough, Worcester, Leicester, Brookfield, Palmer, Springfield, Westfield, Glasgow, Number One, Sheffield, Kinderhook, the Half-way House and Albany. They next went to the Carrying Place (Fort Edward) and reached Lake George on Sept. 4. They were engaged in the battle of Lake George, on
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 9
Sept. 8, 1755. He was dismissed at Lake George on Oct. 4, and returning to Albany, took passage in a sloop for Boston, where the party arrived on the 21st. He got home the next day. He gives the names of the men in his company, John Taplin, capt., etc. See Thompson's Diary in the French War, Appendix, p. 37.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Gage [T. Diary, p. 7] is apparently the Thomas Gage, whom Gage in History of Rowley, p. 223, calls Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Gage, of Rowley, who, he says, was at Lake George in 1758, where on the 20th July, David Payson was slain by the Indians [see also T. Diary, p. 12, and p. 9, beyond]. He was captain of a company from Rowley at Lake George and vicinity in 1755, of which Israel Davis was lieutenant. On Nov. 16, 1755, he was promoted major, which title he bore in an alarm list of 1757. ----Hist. Rowley, pp. 206, 207, 211; Stickney, Fowler Family, p. 118.
John Conva [Conra] senior and junior - T. Diary, p. 36 - is not Converse, but Connery - Woburn Births, p. 55. John Conre [Conery], of Obron, was in Capt. Thacher's co., at Halifax, in 1759 - discharged Nov. 8, 1759. - N. E. H. & G. Reg., 28: 414. John Coneley - T. Diary, p. 29 - is probably the same.
Half Way House (T. Diary, p. 6) and Stone house (T. Diary, p. 19) are located in Diary of Rev. Samuel Chandler, of Gloucester, Mass. (N. E. H. & G. Register, 17: 348), and in Sergeant Seth Tinkham's Diary (Peirce Family, by E. W. Peirce, p. 120, etc.). The date of the former is 1755, and of the latter 1758. Mr. Chandler places the Stone House at Claverack, and Half Way House at Squotoc (Scholdack). The itinerary in the Chandler Diary is very interesting, and with parts of the Tinkham Diary, is excellent collateral reading with the Thompson Diary. The remnant of the Diary of Ensign Edmund Munroe, of Lexington, 1758 (N. E. H. & G. Reg., 16: 217-220) also covers a part of the same period.
We are indebted to the publications of Dr Samuel A. Green, of Boston, for these additional references.
Joseph Holt's Journal, N. E. H. & G., Register, 10: 307-310, is a collateral account of the events mentioned in the Diary of Lieut. Samuel Thompson, 1758. Holt was of Andover, first a sergeant and then an ensign in Capt. Ebenezer Jones's Company. He says Ebenezer Pike [of Woburn] was taken sick at Capt. James Lyman's at Northampton, on May 31. He call Fort Conectecaw of Thompson's Diary - Fort Connecticut. He marched with the others to Kinderhook, to the Half-Way House, and thence to Albany. On June 18th, Col. Nichols and Mr. Morrill joined them at Fort Edward at night. He names Col. Cummings; mentions the death of Joshua [Josiah] Wright of his company; he went bee hunting (the 17th of July) with Ensign [Ebenezer] Jones and Sergeant [David] Jones; and calls the 20th of July , "A terrible day as ever I saw," and then describes the fight of that date, giving a more circumstantial account that Thompson of that affair. He supplies in his account the following names, which we do not have in the Thompson account (Diary, p. 11-12) : - Ensign [Daniel] Davis, of Methuen, of Capt. Foster's co.: Sergeant [Peter] Russell, of Concord, of Capt. Fletcher's com.; Private [David] Payson, of Rowley; Abraham Harding of Pennycook (per Holt*) was of Capt. Foster's co. The two lists do not correspond in all respects. Holt mentions Capt. Fay, under date of July 28th, and says Samuel Abbot (T. Diary, p. 17) was ill of a nervous fever. Holt was worried in taking care of Abbot, who was very bad. On the 30th, Abbot grew worse, and on Oct. 2d, he died. In a list of carpenters in Col. Nichols's regiment, mentioned by Holt, are the following names out of Capt. Jones's co.: David Jones, Joshua Eames, + Isaac Mace, William Gould, Jr., Amos Richardson, + Jonas Underwood, + Josiah Wright, and Joseph Russell. Out of Capt. Parker's and Capt. Fay's companies were a dozen more, but none from Woburn apparently. Holt's Journal is worthy of examination by all interested in the Thompson Diary. Both journals describe parallel events occurring in the same company and regiment.

In Mass. Historical Society Proceedings, second series, vol. 6, pp. 21-23, are published certain papers relating to Capt. Thomas Lawrence's company in this regiment, and certain particulars regarding the Half-way Brook disaster are given. From this source we learn that Corporal Gould of Groton Gore (T. Diary, p. 11) was Corporal Nehemiah Gould, and that Groton Gore, sometimes called Township No. 1, was a tract now lying mostly in Mason, New Hampshire.
The Col. Cummings (T. Diary, p. 8) was John Cuming, per orders to Capt. Lawrence, M. H. S. Proc., sec. ser., 6: 25. [Dr. John Cuming, of Concord, was a Lieut. Colonel in the Northern Expedition, in 1758, and was wounded and taken prisoner, per Shattuck's Concord, p. 73. He was b. in 1728, and d. 1788, a. 60. - Concord Records, 1635-1850, pp. 119, 419, etc.]
A contemporary newspaper account of this action of July 20, 1758, is given, Ibid., sec. ser., 6 :32, and a list of the killed and missing arranged under the names of the captains of companies is given also.
