The following interesting account was furnished by Mr,
Samuel Bouton, grandson of the subject of the narrative,
who has the original manuscript m his possession at
Winston, Daviess county, Mo.:
My grandfather Daniel, son of Nathaniel Bouton, was
born 1740 and died 1819. He was elected a deacon of the
Congregational church at New Canaan, Conn., June 10,
1797, wnich office he held until his death.
He took an active part in the war of the Revolution and
was the captain of a body of citizen soldiers called minute
men, similar to our home guard during the war of the
rebellion. They were called minute men from the fact that
they were expected to shoulder their muskets and march
at once, at the firing of a musket as an alarm that the
British were approaching. They were composed of men
not subject to military duty to the government, but form-
ing themselves into a mihtary organization for the protec-
tion of the community against the raids of the tories then
rendezvousing on Long Island.
In the month of May, 1781, a party of British troops-
came over from Long Island and landed at a place called
Campo Point (now Coscobb) and marched into tne country
plundering inhabitants and burning the towns of Nor walk,
Fairfield and Danbuiy.
