Muster and pay-roll of men raised in Colonel Thornton's and Colonel Webster's regiment, to serve in Captain Daniel Runnels' company, Colonel Thomas Tasker's Regiment, September 26, 1776. This company was raised from Londonderry and Chester Regiments. Among them was John Hughes of Londonderry, N.H. History of Old Chester from 1719 to 1869.
New Hampshire Revolutionary Rolls show that John Huse was a member of Runnells' Company, Tash's Regiment, in New York in September 1776, and that he was ensign same company, Col. Moses Nichols' regiment, enlisted July 20, 1775, promoted lieutenant August 16, 1777. Roll dated September 26, 1777. This regiment marched to reinforce Spark's Brigade. Descendants of Abel Huse, p398.
He was stationed in Boston, Mass. Tradition says that his loyalties were not with the British and he was intent with joining the patriots. John made the acquaintance of someone who was engaged in hauling stores into the city through British lines and he hid himself in a hogshead and was conveyed to safety. To avoid capture he went northwest and ended up in Windham in that part of town known as Bissell's Camp. This all occurred in the dead of winter and very deep snow. He then went to Londonderry to Matthew Taylor's where he hid for three days in a large, old chimney. The soldiers searched for him but to no avail.
His Christian name was Daniel but he changed it to John to mislead his enemies. This is the name he kept. This is from a statement he made to Robert Clendennin of Derry. He joined the American forces and was almost continuously in the army. John settled in Windham, near the Junction. He was noted as a gardener and was known to be smart and witty.
After the Revolution, he, like others, was poor. He was a weaver, and with his wife, Mehitable, he spun and wove and earned a comfortable living. He was married at Chester, N.H. by Rev. M. Flagg, to Mehitable Buswell 1769. Mostly from History of Windham, p596.
John Hughes was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, was at the battle of Bennington, and was a farmer in Rockingham county, N.H. He married Mehitabel Buzzel, and reared a family of eight children. His son Barnett married Jane Wilson, of Windham, and reared a family of eleven children, seven sons and four daughters. Barnett, Jr., married twice, first, Martha L. Clark, of Franklin, N H., who bore him seven children, and second, Esther J., daughter of Samuel S. and Adis [Avis].
