Ethan Allen (1738-1789), Revolutionary War officer and Vermont leader, achieved a place in history by capturing Fort Ticonderoga in 1775. He championed Vermont's drive for statehood. Ethan Allen was a distinct type of frontier soldier. His influence on the settlers of Vermont was comparable to that of John Sevier on the inhabitants of Watauga, East Tennessee, and of Thomas Sumter on the up-country men of South Carolina. Frontier people possessed clan-like loyalties, and they looked to strong men to lead them. Allen had all the credentials. Tall and broad-shouldered, he had great physical strength, along with "rough and ready humor, boundless self-confidence and shrewdness in thought and action equal to almost any emergency." When Vermonters were threatened by New York authorities who claimed the area and denied the validity of their land titles, they formed in 1770 a military association, an unauthorized militia which Allen commanded. The members were mostly rough, roistering young men, and they called themselves the Green Mountain Boys. Allen was the eldest son of a substantial farmer in Litchfield, Connecticut. His father's early death left him with the responsibility of caring for his mother and seven other children, and it brought his schooling (preparation to enter Yale College) to a permanent end. Allen, however, had a genuine intellectual bent, and he was to write a number of pamphlets on such diverse subjects as the taking of Ticonderoga, Vermont's controversies with New York, and religion.
Leader of the American Revolution and author, of Burlington, Vt.
Militia officer.
Continental Army officer.
Ethan Allen was born on January 21, 1738, in Litchfield, CT, the eldest of six sons of Joseph and Mary (Baker) Allen. Moving to Vermont around 1769, Allen became a prominent figure in the disputes surrounding the New Hampshire Grants. He helped form the Green Mountain Boys to thwart New York's efforts to impose its jurisdiction in the dispute territory. With his brothers Heman, Zimri, and Ira, Ethan formed the Onion River Land Company. Together they became the largest landowners in the Champlain Valley.
In 1775 Ethan joined the forces of the Revolutionaries and with Benedict Arnold captured Fort Ticonderoga. Later, upon attempting the capture of Montreal, Allen was himself captured by the British. He was imprisoned in England for over two years. Released in 1778, Allen returned to Vermont and continued his campaign against New York.
Ethan was a leading spokesman for an independent state of Vermont. Along with his brother Ira he was instrumental in forming and protecting the Republic of Vermont (1777-1791). Ethan was an active promoter not only of Vermont independence, but also of Deism. His "Reason, the Only Oracle of Man" was one of the first American Deist tracts. Allen died in Burlington, Vt, on February 12, 1789.

Levi Allen petty ledger A, 1784-1801.
Accounts noted in Halifax currency for Levi Allen's commerce in hardware and other products conducted in Canada and Vermont. Merchandise sold or traded included dry goods, hardware, flour, pease, rum, and timber. Payment was frequently in goods or labor and services. Many notations about his debtors give Allen's descriptions and opinions about them. A few account entries pertain to Ethan Allen at Sunderland, Vermont, in 1787, and many entries pertain to Ira Allen. Last entries seem to pertain to Levi Allen's expenditures while imprisoned.

Title:
Vermont history and biography collection, 1926-1930s.
A collection of notes and newsclippings relating to Vermont's history, collected by Martha V. Smith, probably in conjunction with a program at the Women's Club of Proctor.

As well, there is the draft of a letter written to John Pell, author of "Ethan Allen" suggesting some corrections, particularly in relation to the maiden name of Ethan Allen's wife, Fanny Montresor. Of particular interest are several newsclippings from 1926 relating to a confrontation between Lincoln scholar Dr. William E. Barton with Civil War veteran Luke Ferriter of Brattleboro, Vermont regarding William Scott's pardon by President Lincoln.

Guy Johnson papers, 1773-1831
Title:
Guy Johnson papers 1773-1831
Correspondence, journals, documents, and maps by or about Guy Johnson. The early correspondence (1773-1774) includes letters from and to Guy's uncle William Johnson, and concern his illness and desire for Guy Johnson to succeed him as Indian Affairs Superintendant. William's correspondents include the Earl of Dartmouth, Secretary of State for the Colonies, and General Thomas Gage. Letters from 1775 concern the loyalty of the Six Nations to the British, and includes an intercepted letter from Ethan Allen, written after his advance on Canada. Guy's correspondents include the Earl of Dartmouth, Daniel Claus, Peter Van Brugh Livingston, and Allan Maclean. Two journals kept by Guy Johnson date from 1775-1776, and 1781. The first journal records his visit to London and return to America on July 29, 1776, and includes an account of Howe's operations on Long Island and the capture of Fort Washington by General Knyphausen. The second journal contains daily reports of Indian raids, news and messages received, and information from prisoners. There are a number of references to Joseph Brant. Johnson's memorandum and account book is dated 1776-1782 and contains his official accounts. Penned at the back are extensive notes about Indian movements. The other journal, written by an unidentified officer posted at Kadaragoras, a settlement built for the Senecas, contains reports on enemy movements. The Other Papers contain formal proclamations by the magistrates of Schenectady and Albany, and by the Mohawks, dated May 1775, stating their mutual wishes for neutrality in the war. A manuscript by Colonel John Butler records the proceedings of 18 councils with the Six Nations and the Canadian Indians, from October, 1775 to June 1776. A manuscript plat map drawn by Guy Johnson of the Townships of Gage and Burton in Nova Scotia is undated. The rest of the papers relate to attempts by Johnson's family to obtain compensation for Johnson's expenses during the war.

Title:
Papers, 1753-1789. [microform].
A small collection of seven folders, the papers of Ethan Allen are a mixture of receipts, bonds, deeds, and correspondence that range in years from 1753 to 1789. Evidenced in Allen's letters are his strong anti-New York sentiments as well as his Deist philosophies. Included in the collection is an interesting letter to Ethan Allen from Ethan Nomatterwho, Philanthropos, who responds (negatively) to Allen's "The Spirit of God." Interestingly enough, the piece appears to be written by Allen himself though its origin is a mystery. There are a few letters to and from Ethan's brothers Levi and Heman and to Stephen R. Bradley to whom Allen voices his philosophies. There are a few transcribed letters including one from St. John de Crevecoeur who writes to Allen suggesting names for Vermont towns.

United States Revolution collection, 1754-1928.
Title:
United States Revolution collection, 1754-1928.
This collection consists of an eclectic group of records pertaining to the American Revolution. Gathered from diverse sources, it includes correspondence, reports, returns, orders, rolls, military court records, copies of town meeting minutes, petitions, oaths, depositions, and receipts. There is material relating to the early resistance of colonists to British efforts to tighten administration of the American colonies. Such events as the Stamp Act and its consequent resistance, colonial non-importation agreements, opposition to the Tea Act and other unpopular measures, are all illuminated by documents in this collection, as well as the activities of Committees of Correspondence and town meetings. There are some especially interesting documents pertaining to the actions of the convention of committees of correspondence of Worcester County in the period 1774 to 1776. Several items refer to the participation of the French in the American Revolution, including a few letters of Roderigue Hortalez & Co. which was an operation through which Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799) was able secretly to channel French aid to the American cause. Several documents written in French pertain to military organization and training. There are also several documents dealing with charges against and imprisonment of American Loyalists as well as confiscation of Loyalist estates. A series of interesting documents relate to the transport and detention of Loyalists from New York State in Worcester; a group of later documents reveals efforts by Worcester officials to obtain funds from New York to pay for the detention of New York Loyalists in Worcester. The collection contains a large number of official military documents including returns (for troops, provisions, arms, etc.), lists of prisoners, hospitial patients, etc., guard reports, and documents pertaining to courts-martial and courts of inquiry. One such case for which there are many documents is that of the trial of Worcester militia captain Ebenezer Lovel (1730-1817). Included also is a document written in Old German script pertaining to the quarterly meeting of the German Society of the City of New York, 3 January 1785, with a list of its members, including Baron Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin von Steuben (1730-1794). There are a series of town resolutions enacted by Massachusetts towns and concerning the propriety of forming a new state government. There is also an interesting group of letters from Henry Marble ( -1841) to Breck Parkman (1749-1825), some correspondence of William White ( - ) of Boston, and several documents of George Webb (1740-1825). Among the more notable individual documents in the collection are those with accounts of battles. Two Ethan Allen (1738-1789) letters relate to the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, while another by Joseph Hawley (1723-1788) of Northampton stresses its strategic importance. There are several accounts of the action at Lexington and Concord and an excellent report of the Battle of Bunker Hill attributed to Peter Thacher (1752-1802). Other documents describe the siege of Boston, the campaigns which culminated in the Battle of Saratoga, the Battle of Trenton, and other actions. The collection also includes _four_uncataloged_folio_volumes_, one cataloged folio volume, and _four_uncataloged_octavo_volumes_. The four uncataloged folio volumes and three of the uncataloged octavo volumes contain records of the Continental Army. Folio volume 1 contains, for the most part, weekly strength returns for the period 4 September 1779 to 16 June 1781 for the Third Massachusetts Brigade of Foot (consisting of the 1st, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 14th Massachusetts Regiments, and, for a time, the 1st New York Regiment). The brigade was stationed at various times at West Point, Peekskill, Steenropie(?), Orangetown, and Camp Totowa. This volume also contains returns for the period 9 July 1781 to 27 October 1781 for the First Massachusetts Brigade of Foot (consisting of the 1st, 4th, and 7th Massachusetts Regiments). This brigade was stationed at Peekskill. Folio volume 2, a continuation of folio volume 1, contains, for the most part, weekly strength returns for the period 3 November 1781 to 25 October 1783 for the First Massachusetts Brigade of Foot (consisting of the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 7th Massachusetts Regiments). The brigade was stationed at various times at York Hutts, West Point, Camp Verplancks, and New Windsor. Folio volume 3 is a record book of the 6th Massachusetts Regiment for the period 1777 to 1783. There are lists of field, staff, and commissioned officers, descriptive lists of non-commissioned officers and privates (noting age, physical characteristics, occupation, residence, birthplace, term and date of enlistment), records of courts-martial proceedings, lists of the dead and deserters, and registers of furloughs and discharges. This regiment was also stationed in the West Point area in the early 1780s toward the close of the war. Folio volume 4 is the Record of the Committee to Settle Pay of Soldiers, 1779-1782, with Extracts of Massachusetts Laws, 1782-1784. It contains resolves of the Massachusetts House of Representatives and the minutes of the Committee appointed by the Massachusetts Line of the Continental Army, concerning the army's request for an adjustment in and settlement of the pay of the officers and soldiers because of currency depreciation. Also included are suggested means of obtaining the adjustment (e.g., by determining current prices of beef, corn, wool, and leather), a list of the committee's appointees and their duties, methods of raising taxes to cover the adjustment, and a series of Resolves and Committee Remonstrances over a controversy concerning the House's insistence on deducting from the proposed payment the original bounties given those who enlisted. The Extracts of Massachusetts Laws include the Confession Act of 1782, Marriage and Divorce, Larceny, and Executions. Folio volume 5, a _cataloged_folio_folder_, contains copies of letters of the Massachusetts Committee of Safety, 29 April 1775 - 25 June 1775, including circular letters to Massachusetts towns calling for military preparedness in response to a possible British march from Boston, letters containing proposals for the seizure of Fort Ticonderoga, as well as those ordering supplies for Benedict Arnold (1741-1801) during the Ticonderoga expedition. Many letters reflect emergency efforts to raise troops from neighboring colonies, the unrest in the new army (including differences over appointments of officers and poor behavior of troops), and the Committee's refusal to seek cessation in hostilities. All the items in this folder are cited on the catalog card as "U.S. Rev. Coll. Letterbook." Octavo volume 1 contains the same records as folio volume 4, in different handwriting, concerning the Report of the Committee to adjust salaries of officers and soldiers, although the folio volume includes additional memorials. Octavo volume 2 is an orderly book, 1782-1783, kept by Joseph Russell (1757-1837) for Captain Benjamin Heywood's (1746-1816) 5th Company, 6th Massachusetts Regiment. Included are lists of "stipulated prices" for work performed by tailors, shoemakers, and washerwomen; weekly and provision returns; rosters; inspection returns; and a copy of orders issued by Major-General Robert Howe (1732-1786), 17 November 1782, concerning the need to "restrain the marauding" spirit among the soldiers towards the inhabitants. Several provision returns mention women and children as drawing specific amounts of supplies. Octavo volume 3 contains extracts from several Congressional Resolutions (e.g., proclamation of peace, 1783); provisions to be distributed among wounded officers, 1776; salary scales, 1782; duties of the quartermaster-general and his subordinates. The volume includes examples of forms to be followed for recording returns and subsistence-allowance. Also copied into the volume is the Constitution of the Society of the Cincinnati (a fraternal organization of veteran officers), 1783, as well as a list of officers at the New Windsor Cantonment, 1783. This volume may have been kept by Lt. Col. Thomas Cogswell (1746-1810). Octavo volume 4 is the receipt book, 1781, of Capt. Abraham Tuckerman ( - ), Quartermaster of the 1st Massachusetts Brigade. The volume contains receipts for specific supplies sent to regiments at West Point and Peekskill, New York, and Philipsburg, Pa. There are also a few provision returns for Capt. Tuckerman, carpenters, blacksmiths, and others.

Reed, George B. (George Bowlend), b. 1829. George B. Reed Vermont scrapbook, 1761-1905.
Title:
George B. Reed Vermont scrapbook, 1761-1905.
A scrapook containing manuscripts, newsclippings, and other printed material relating to the early history of Vermont assembled by George B. Reed. The material is organized chronologically. The earliest manuscript is a quitclaim for land in "Mount Ephaim", Massachusetts given to Remember Baker, dated June 12, 1761. The bulk of the manuscript material dates from the 1820s to the 1840s and includes correspondence relating to the proposed canal from Lake Champlain to the Connecticut River. Of special interest is a journal of the survey kept by Arunah Waterman dating from Juy 13 to August 23, 1829. The bulk of the manuscripts are addressed to Rev. George B. Manser, rector of Christ Church, Montpelier, and editor of The Temperance Star. Several letters are from Bishop John Henry Hopkins, while others relate to politics and temperance. Another group includes material written by and to Governor Silas H. Jenison, including two proclamations, one in manuscript. Other items include biographical sketches of Allen family members, including Ethan Allen, Ira Allen, and Remember Baker, as well as a transcription of the journal of Mrs. Sarah Williams, wife of Azarias Williams of Concord, Vermont, documenting her travels from New York to Concord, Vermont in 1811, and numerous newsclippings on historical topics.

Title:
Draper manuscripts: Draper's historical miscellanies, 1720-1887.
A "catch all" series arranged by Reuben G. Thwaites and his staff for a varied assortment of manuscripts found among Draper's possessions. Although some pieces could more logically have been placed in other groups related to the author or content, most of the papers did not appear to fit into series which Draper had himself arranged. Some items were acquisitions with topics ranging outside the major areas of his interest, some were personal papers he had created, and a few were documents which had originated in his family.
