• Notes

  Roger, Corporal, Captain Amos Washburn's (Middleboro) company, Colonel Ebenezer Sprout's regiment. He served 12 days on the alarm of Dec. 8, 1776. The company mustered at the time of the capture of Newport, Rhode Island, by the enemy. Also served in the same company and regiment, enlisted May 6, 1778; discharged May 7, 1778; service 2 days on an alarm at Dartmouth. The roll was sworn to at Middleboro. Also served in the same company and regiment, enlisted Sept. 5, 1778; discharged Sept. 10, 1778; service 6 days, on an alarm at Dartmouth. Roll dated Middleboro. Reference The Haskell Family in the Armed Forces, Volume 2 Editor: Peter P. Haskell, 2004 Page 76 _____ Roger lived near Quittacus Lake in Middleboro where his five children were born. This land was sold between 1796 and 1800, at which time they moved to North Brookfield. He died in the town of Oakham, where he was living with one of his children. Here is an interesting sidelight about Roger, furnished by a great-great- grandson in 1938, from the books and records he inherited. It was apparent that Roger served with Clive in India and at one time had been a follower of Wolfe Tone (born 1763 died 1798) in Ireland. In addition to all this, he served under Colonel Ethan Allen. One of the treasures which his descendant prizes is a Hindu Buddha which this forebear of his brought back from the Far East. That Roger was adventurous as a young man is testified to by his service in India and by the part he played in the Revolution, but it is an unsolved mystery how and why he should have become involved in an Irish rebellion.
