Regimental History |
|
| For Eliab in particular, it appears he was a patriot during the Revolutionary War. He is incorrectly identified as "Robinson, Eliah, Private; 0; 4", one of the undrafted soldiers that answered and served for 4 days from the Town of Windham during the Lexington Alarm of April 1775. He returned to Windham after fellow townsmen were subsequently drafted as replacements. | |
