Listed under Captains:

SAMUEL BLODGETT of Goffstown, b. 1724, Woburn, Mass.; d. Goffstown, 1807. Capt. Blodgett was a 
man of great energy and business capacity, who took part in many enterprises. He saw service in
the Louisburg expedition, was a sutler in the Crown Point campaign of 1757, and had a narrow
escape from death at the surrender of Fort William Henry. In 1775, he was sutler in Sullivan's 
brigade at Winter Hill. Since he was more than fifty years old at the beginning of the war, he 
did less active service, yet, in 1777, commanded a company in Col. Nathan Hale's regiment, but 
resigned his captaincy, Dec. 22, 1777. Captain Blodgett was accounted the wealthiest citizen of 
Goffstown, and was prominent in its affairs, civil and religious. He had been a justice under 
the royal government, 1774, a fact which shows that he was an influential citizen.
