Note
Initially a non-commissioned officer in Col. William Prescott's Regiment (May-Dec. 1775) and therefore likely a participant at Bunker Hill, Bancroft became an Ensign in the 7th Continental Infantry in 1776, and eventually First Lieutenant in the 15th Massachusetts before he died in service.
For further details and a photocopy of the manuscript, see Case file.
Though not a period of concentrated military action, these months included the British landing at Lechmere Point (9 Nov.), the inquiry into the conduct of the spy Dr. Benjamin Church, the arrival of the Congressional Committee (Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Lynch, and Benjamin Harrison), the siege of Boston, and the surrender of Montreal (13 Nov.) In addition, the diary records daily paroles, countersigns, officers of the day, disciplinary actions (including courts martial) for such offenses as petty theft, insubordination, and fraudulent enlistment practices, discharges, and supply shortages.
