Report on a Military Order to Gten. Mead's Court, 1780-1.
The deposition of Daniel Bouton, of Stamford, Conn., of
lawful age, viz :
Some time in the winter of the year 1780-81, Capt. Jona-
than Waring informed me that there was a clandestine
trade carried on by driving cattle to the enemy, and that
David Lounsbery and Caleb Pinch was active in it. That
the said Lounsbery had lately took a pair of oxen over to
Horse Neck; and on said information Timothy Reed, De-
dourt Davenport and myself applied to Maj. Davenport for
a writ and took one in our own name and not in behalf of
the state. On which David Lounsbery was taken and
brought to Capt. David Wells. Said Lounsbery owned
that he did take a pair of oxen over to Horse Neck for Caleb
Finch, the authority and selectmen being there, and their
settling was of the opinion that said Lounsbery was rather
a tool, and advised us to withdraw plaint, on said Louns-
bery paying the cost and inform of all he knew concerning
carrying on said trade.
On this advice we tore up said writ, and said Lounsbery
gave a note to Timothy Beed (the sum I do not remember)
and which note I was informed said Lounsbery was sued on
and a judgment obtained and execution on which said oxen
was taken and sold.
Some time in the winter aforesaid after a general court
martial held at Palmer's Hill on Capt. Finch, Capt. Waring
was there as an evidence in the case.
Of his evidence he informed said court that he was with
Caleb Finch at the Raymonds in Canaan, and by what he
saw and heard he signified to said court that they had oxen
preparing for the trade aforesaid for said Waring informed
s'' court that he went with s^ Finch in order to find out his
trade with the enemy, for he suspected him.
After this I was informed by Capt. Isaac Lockwood that
David Lounsberv had agreed with Caleb Finch to bring
forward a pair of oxen that he had chafered for with the
above ^^ Raymond, and s'' Lockwood advised me to watch
the machine.
BouTON-BouGHTON Familt. 619
Mr. Timothy Read told me the same ; after this Mr.
Charles Weed come to me with David Lounsbenr and told
me before Mr. Weed above s'' that he had agreed with the
above s^ Baymond to take one or two pairs of oxen of them
and drive to the enemy in the night following.
As I was informed Gen' Mead, having had intimation ,
gave orders directing me to take a number of men in order
w see what discoveries I could make.
In obedience to s"* order I took with me a number of men
for the scout and in the course of the night took up David
Lounsbery and Waterbury Hait, a driving a pair of oxen
.to the water.
According to my orders I took up s"* men and oxen and
brought them to Qen^ Mead, who after examination con-
demned the oxen and directed me to sell them and bring
jbhe avails to s"* court, which order I obeyed.
