Captain Sherwood captured my ancestor Samuel Churchill and his two sons, Silas and John, and their neighbor Hickok and took them to Ticonderoga but they managed to escape on a boat in Lake Champlain. Their house was burned down though and they had to travel to Sheffield, MA to find their family again.

The Bayley/Hazen Road was built from Newbury toward St John, Canada. Part was built by Gen. Jacob Bayley in 1776 to supply the US invasion of Canada, then stopped when the American army retreated. The second portion was built by Col. Moses Hazen in 1779 in the thought that the US might launch a second invasion. They didn't, but the road was discovered in 1780 by the British, and for the next two years they used it extensively in raids, ambushes, and scouting operations. "Indian Joe" was a Mikmaq from Nova Scotia who settled in Vermont and had a company of native scouts during the American Revolution under the command of Bayley. Joe's Pond and Molly's Pond were named for he and his wife.

I'd love to get some of your source material. I know Anbeury's memoir was used. Did you use Sergeant Roger Lamb's memoirs? He was at Hubbardton, Freeman's Farm, Bemis Heights, in the convention army, escaped then joined Cornwallis's regiment and fought in the southern colonies at Guilford Courthouse, Camden and Yorktown. Extraordinary British soldier.

Agree...great comment

There is actually quite little in the way of first-hand accounts of the battle. The quotes used in this documentary comprise the vast majority of all of the first-hand accounts of the battle known to exist.

Lamb and his regiment (9th Foot) was not engaged at Hubbardton.

The overwhelming majority of German troops with Burgoyne were Brunswickers, not Hessians.

[@edwardweaver1467]

I thought the battle was six hours?!
