1 In the list of killed appear two
Samuel Taylors. In the credits is found Samuel Tiler. In a list of men impressed
at Rowley, Nov. 29, 1675, I find Samuel Tiller. Among the wounded, Timson
undoubtedly meant Stimpson, and "Illja Thathan of Oborne," was what
the clerk made out of Elijah Tattingham of Woburn. The name appears elsewhere as
Totenham and Totman. The other changes are simple.
The following paper, preserved in the Mass. Archives, vol. 68, p. 97, is the
roll of Major Appleton's company in the Narraganset campaign. Jeremiah Swain of
Reading was Lieutenant.

Soon after the battle of Narraganset Major
Appleton retired from his protracted and arduous service in the field. On the
19th of October, 1676, the Court appointed him to command an expedition to
Pascataqua; but he probably declined, as the order was rescinded on October 23d.
He was re‰lected deputy in 1676, and subsequently, except 1678, until 1681,
when he was chosen Assistant, and remained in that office till the coming in of
the Andros government in 1686. He was proscribed by Sir Edmund's officer,
Randolph, as one of the "factious." He was arrested on the general
complaint of being "evil disposed and seditious," October 19th, 1687,
and refusing to submit and give bonds for his good behavior, was committed to
Boston jail, where he was kept many months till his age and increasing
infirmities forced a reluctant submission, and he was set at liberty, March 7,
1688. In the new charter of William and Mary, in 1691, he was made one of the
Council. He died May 15, 1696, leaving an honored name which his posterity have
continued in honor to the present day. "Of all the military commanders of
this war I must consider Major Appleton the ablest; and the tide of warfare in
the western towns turned towards safe and successful methods from the time of
his appointment to the command. I should place Major Treat, of Connecticut, next
to him, and perhaps in the same position he would have been equal." |
