Note
The company was probably stationed in or near Peekskill, N.Y. "Three Battallions of our Troops, engaged to serve till the 15th of March are gone to join General Heath, 16 Companies of Voluntiers are likewise marched, they are formed into a Battallion under the Command of Colo. Noadiah Hooker, are equal to a full Battallion in Number, and have engaged to continue in Service for the Term of two Months from their Inlistment." -- J. Trumbull letter to George Washington, 23 Jan. 1777.
In December 1776 the Connecticut committee of safety appointed Hooker colonel of the regiment of Connecticut militia volunteers raised to reinforce the Continental army in Westchester County, N.Y., and in March 1777 Hooker and some of his men volunteered for another term of service in the New York highlands after GW requested reinforcements for the Peekskill area. -- footnote to the Trumbull letter quoted above.
A columnar report showing numbers fit for duty, sick, on command or furlough, prisoners, dead, deserted, and discharged. Few names appear, though Seth Graves, Scilor [Schuyler? Seylor?] Goddard, John Hull, and Josiah Hull are assigned to the main guard; Reuben Hickcox and Abner Hall for picquet guard; and Asahel Hochkiss for fatigue are named opposite the record for April 30.
For a listing of names, see Colonel Hooker's Regiment, Capt. Camp's Company in Record of Connecticut men in the military and naval service during the war of the Revolution, p. 501.
