"Massachusetts Soldiers And Sailors Of The American Revolution"
There is a muster listing for a 'Goodale, Ezekiel. Private, Col. Benjamin 
Tupper's (10th) regt.; service from April 5, 1782, 8 mos. 26 days.'

The muster listing for men with similar enlistment dates shows that there were 
indeed, some men from the area around New Salem who had enlisted for a three-
year term in the Continental Army in 1782, not knowing that the war was winding 
to a close. 

From the muster listing of Abel Fish (probably Fisk), we learn that a Captain 
Jacob Samson (probably Sampson) was a chairman of a class of the town of New 
Salem who raised a bounty for Abel Fish who enlisted on March 18th, 1782. 
Ezekiel Goodale enlisted on April 5th. 

Lt. Samuel Cook also served as a chairman of a class in New Salem, who paid a 
bounty to Peter Harvey, for enlisting on March 29, 1782. Joshua Putnam was the 
chairman of the class that paid a bounty to Reuben Ray, who enlisted on April 
1, 1782, and Benjamin Hascall was the chairman of the class who paid the bounty 
to Jonas Rich, who enlisted on April 3, 1782. This list is of those men who 
were probably from the area around New Salem, having known family names:
