From among his papers found after his death and copied from the Hampshire Gazette in which it was printed in 1843. It is addressed to William Cogswell, D. D. and reads as follows:

"To WM. COGSWELL, D. D.
Dear Sir: --Your printed Circular, addressed to the graduates of Dartmouth College, requesting them to furnish you with brief biographical notices of themselves, for publication, I duly received. The plan you propose I cordially approve--when completed, it will, I think, embody facts that will be very gratifying to the Alumni of that institution, and also the friends of literature.

If my own history can add anything to the completion of your plan, it is at your service. In replying to your interrogatories I shall follow their numerical order.

I was born, 1755, in Amherst, then a precinct of Hadley. My parents were Ebenezer Mattoon and Dorothy Smith daughter of Doct. Nath'l Smith of Amherst. The earliest knowledge I have of my ancestry extends back to the year 1676. Then Philip Mattoon an unmarried young man (who came I believe from Glasgow, in Scotland) was among 47 men at Marlboro, who, with others from Boston, were sent up under Capt. Wm. Turner to defend the inhabitants on Connecticut river from the invasions of the Indians. The next year, (1677,) he resided at Springfield, and was married to Sarah Hawks. About 1688, he removed to Deerfield, where he died in 1696, leaving several sons, one of whom, Eleazer, settled at North field. He was my Grand-Father. In 1734, he removed to Amherst, with his family, my father, Ebenezer, being his only son, then 16 years of age. My studies, preparatory for college, were pursued under the tuition of Rev. David Parson, the first minister of Amherst. I entered college in 1772 and graduated in 1776. In the Spring of '76, after examination for degrees, with three others of my class, I obtained permission of the faculty to go to Canada, and engage in the revolutionary army, receiving a promise that our degrees should be regularly conferred. Soon after my arrival at Canada, I received a Lieutenant's Commission, and performed the duties of an Adjutant for that year. The next year I was Lieut. in the Artillery in the northern campaign, and was in St. Clair's retreat from Ticonderoga, and in the hard fought battles and capture of Burgoyne. Continuing in the army, I was in the battle fought by Gen. Sullivan on Rhode Island. In 1779 I left the army, returned to Amherst, and was married to Mary Dickinson, of Amherst, where I still reside. I studied no profession except that of arms. In 1780 and '81, I represented the town in General Court. Was made justice of peace in 1782, and held the office till 1796. Was elected Captain in the Militia in 1782, Major in '85, Col. in '89, Brigadier in '92, and in '96 Maj. General of the 4th division Militia in this Commonwealth. In 1816 I resigned my Commission of Maj. Gen. and was appointed Adjutant General, which office. I held until two years after, when I was compelled to resign on account of the entire loss of my sight. I was a member of the Senate of this Commonwealth two years, 1795 and '96. In 1766, I was appointed Sheriff of the (old) County of Hampshire, and continued in office nearly 20 years. I was in the 6th and 7th Congress. In 1820, I was a member of the Convention for amending the Constitution of our Commonwealth. In 1792, '96, 1820, and '28 I was one of the Electoral College for the choice of President and Vice President of the United States.

I have had six children, two of whom died in infancy. The names of the four are Mary Dickinson, Ebenezer, Noah Dickinson, and Dorothy Smith. Three are still living. Mary D. [since deceased] resides in Philadelphia, Ebenezer in Amherst, and Noah D. in Ohio."
