YALE, Moses

Notes:

Moses Yale removed to this town (Charlotte, Chittenden Co., Vermont) from Meriden, Conn., in about 1783, and located not far from the Shelburne line, on a farm later owned by Henry Thorp. During this summer (1783) he erected the the frame of a log house, made a small clearing, and in the fall returned to his family in Connecticut, after having sowed his clearing with wheat, assisted by his only neighbors, James Hill and John McNeil. In the following spring he returned with his family by the way of Whitehall and the lake, being drawn on the ice by a yoke of steers and an old horse. The hardships that these families endured cannot be described. During the summer of 1784 food was so scarce and difficult to obtain that the family were compelled to resort to subsistence on fish and herbs and roots of the forest. Moses Yale had a family of six children, three sons and three daughters, only one of whom Lyman remained in town. He (Lyman) held many positions of trust in his town, and was one term its representative in the Legislature. Of his (Lyman's) seven children, only one, William, now resides in town, occupying the original farm of John McNeil.
(From a history of Chittenden Co., VT, p. 537).

A similar account follows:

Moses Yale emigrated from Meriden, Conn., to Charlotte, in 1783, locating upon the farm where Roswell and Miles NEWTON now reside. Here he made a small clearing, accomplished by exchange of labor with his only neighbors, James HILL and John McNEIL, sowed it with wheat, put up the body of a log house, and in the autumn returned to his family in Meriden. In the spring of 1784, he returned to Charlotte, coming by way of Whitehall to avoid the unraveled wilderness, thence down the lake on the ice, bringing his family and furniture on a sled drawn by a yoke of steers and an old horse. On their arrival, they cleared the snow from the log house, made a roof from the boughs of the surrounding trees, and installed themselves in their home with all the comforts of house keeping that their circumstances could afford. During the summer ensuing, food was so scarce and difficult to obtain that the family was compelled to subsist on fish and the herbs and roots that the forest afforded. Mr. YALE had a family of six children, three sons and three daughters, only one of whom, Lyman, remained in Charlotte. He, being the eldest of the children, and a good financier, paid up the claims against the homestead, thereby securing for himself a good farm and comfortable home, where he continued to reside until his death, in 1840, aged sixty seven years. During his long life here he held many important positions in the gift of his townsmen, among which, that of representative during one term. Of his family of seven children, only one, William, now lives in the town, residing on the farm formerly owned by John McNEIL.

The Congregational Church of Charlotte, located at Charlotte Centre, was organized January 3, 1792, at the house of Daniel HOSFORD, Jr., with four members, John HILL, Moses YALE, Daniel HOSFORD, Jr., and Joseph SIMONDS. Rev. Daniel O. GILLETT was installed as the first pastor during the same year. The first church building, a wood structure, was erected in 1798, and gave place to the present brick building in 1848. It will accommodate 350 persons, and is valued, including grounds, at $6,000.00. The society now has 163 members, with Rev H. B. PUTNAM, pastor.

Moses was a Private, in Capt. Peter Porter's co., Col. Benjamin Simonds's (Berkshire Co.) regt . He entered service April 26, 1777 and was discharged May 20, 1777, serving 25 days. His company was called out April 26, 1777, at request of Maj. Gen. Gates and marched to Saratoga. He also appears on a list of men who marched from Pittsfield to Ticonderoga April 25, 1777, under command of Lieut. Stephen Crofoot, and were dismissed May 22, 1777. Moses was also a Private in Capt. Peter Porter's co., Col. John Brown's (Berkshire Co.) regt. He entered service Sept. 22, 1777 and left service Oct. 8, 1777. His company was called out Sept. 22, 1777, at request of Maj. Gen. Gates.

The municipal history of Charlotte is a straight forward one. The first town meeting was held in Moses Yale's log cabin facing Converse Bay on July 6, 1785. The town was officially organized at a meeting in March of 1787 at which men were elected to serve as clerk, constables, selectmen, listers, leather sealer, half-tithingmen, surveyors of highways, and sealer of weights and measures. Twelve prominent men were appointed jurymen. It was decided that hogs should be confined.
In 1786, Daniel Horsford was elected first justice. John McNeil was elected as the first representative to the legislature of the independent Republic of Vermont in 1788.

Report of Lieut. Col. Charles R Brundage, Sixtieth New York Infantry, commanding Third Brigade, of battle of Antietam.
HEADQUARTERS THIRD BRIGADE,
Loudoun Heights, Virginia., September 25, 1862.
I have the honor to report that on the morning of September 17, 1862,
the late Col. William B. Goodrich, of the Sixtieth Regiment New York State Volunteers, being in command of this brigade was ordered to take the brigade, then composed of the Sixtieth and Seventy-eighth Regiments New York Volunteers, Third Delaware, and Purnell Legion, into the feild on the right of the line of battle. Before getting into position, the Purnell Legion was ordered to some other portion of the field, which reduced the line of this brigade to the three first-named regiments. On getting into position, skirmishers were thrown out of the right and left, who cleared the woods of the enemy's sharpshooters. While thus engaged, and about an hour after the commencement, the colonel commanding was mortally wounded and borne from the field. The command then devolved upon Lieutenant-Colonel Austin, of the Seventy-eighth New York, who remained in command during the re-mainder of the day. In about an hour and a half from this time orders were received to withdraw the brigade from the feild. This was done, and the line shortly after reformed about half a mile to the rear of it's former position. The brigade remained in this line 'till near dark, when they received orders from yourself to rejoin the division. This report is made from recollection only, no data being kept, as the command was not handed over to me 'till late in the evening. I deem it just, however, to make honorable mention of the coolness and bravery of the officers and men in action, especially of the true soldierly bravery of Colonel Goodrich the daring and courage of Lieutenant-Colonel Austin, the valuable services of Captain Redington, of the Sixtieth New York, and of ____ Lieutenant McGregor, of the Seventy-eighth New York, the two latter having charge of the skirmishers. Respectfully submitted.

HEADQUARTERS SIXTIETH NEW YORK STATE VOLUNTEERS,
Camp on Loudoun Heights, Virginia., September 27, 1862.
I have the honor to report that on the morning of 17th of September 1862, the Sixtieth Regiment New York State Volunteers went into action with 217 enlisted men and 9 commissioned officers, and that being on the right of the brigade, Capt. J. C. O. Redington was sent out with his company (Company C) to skirmish, which he did with admirable skill and effect, clearing the woods to the right of the enemy's sharpshooters. After being in action between two and three hours, a brigade fell back on us, breaking our line and scattering our men, making a delay of an hour or more in our rejoining our brigade, then formed in line about half a mile to the rear of their position in action. The regiment remained with the brigade during the remainder of the day, and moved with it at dark to rejoin the division.
I take pleasure in reporting that the officers and men behaved well under fire promptly obeying all orders. For an account of our losses I beg leave to refer you to official report of casualties.
Very Respectfully submitted.
