Listed under Captains:

JOHN MELLON, b. 1744, Holliston, Mass.; d. July 25, 1784; came to Fitzwilliam before the 
Revolutionary War, and was one of the most reliable and energetic citizens of that town. In 1775,
he was commander of its military company. In 1777, Capt. Mellen was a member of the Committee of 
Safety, and led a company to reinforce Ticonderoga in June of that year. The next year (1778) he 
was quartermaster in Col. Enoch Hale's regiment during the Rhode Island campaign. Capt. Mellen 
was a person of unusual business capacity and his early death was a severe loss to Fitzwilliam.
