Served with Captain Beebe's company that was captured by the enemy at Fort Washington by the enemy. They were crowded, with hundred of others, into the sugarhouse and onboard prison ships; without air or water, and for the first two days without food. Contagion and death were the consequences. Dysentery, smallpox and other terrible disease broke out among them, and very few of the whole company survived the terrible ordeal. On December 27th, 1776 an exchange of prisons took place. Only eleven of Capt. Beebe's company were able to sail for Connecticut and only a few survived — Noah Beach was one of them. (source: History of Litchfield county, Connecticut
