LEMUEL ROYCE is said to have been the last survivor of the Revolutionary soldiers, originally
belonging to Charlestown. At the time of the battle of Bennington, he was a member of Capt. Abel
Walker's company, but enlisted Feb. 4th, 1778, into Capt. Isaac Farwell's in which he continued
nearly if not quite through the war. He was fond of telling in his advanced age of the battles
in which he had been engaged, and appears to have been proud of having been selected as one of
the guards at the execution of Major Andre, whose gentlemanly bearing and courage filled him
with such admiration that he named one of his children after him. I have been unable to obtain a
record either of his death or his marriage. I have gathered from aged persons the following names
of his children.

V.	Anna, who m. Zachariah Lawrence, Jan. 23d, 1806.
