Woodbridge, Theodore, b. 1747. Theodore Woodbridge papers, 1777-1798.

Title: Theodore Woodbridge papers, 1777-1798.

The bulk of the collection focuses on the years of the American Revolution and consists of general orders, returns, accounts with the State of Connecticut, troop reports, loyalty oaths, and correspondence with William Health, Heman Swift, A. Chapman, and Ruben Calkin. The topics of the letters include troop movements, lack of sufficient men to hold a line, deserters, army moral, selling forfeited (Tory) estates, smallpox among the army, and military strategy, including Woodbridge's taking of Morrisania (now part of the Bronx). A letter from A. Chapman dated February 1, 1778, includes a description of the Seven-Day Baptists at Ephrata, Pennsylvania. Heman Swift wrote wanting to discuss the General Assembly's plan to pay officers with land instead of money. This could have been in response to a complaint from the men of the Connecticut Line of the Continental Army about the depreciation of specie. After 1783, the number of items decreases considerably and in most cases is related to financial dealings, although there are several letters about surveying land in Ohio.
