Samuel Johnson's regiment. He was chosen by field officers as second lieutenant of Capt. Robert Dodge's company, and commissioned by council, 7 May 1776, at Ipswich. His son Nehemiah used to amuse his grandchildren by telling stories of the Revolution, one of which was as follows. One night when Samuel was on sentry duty, it was evident that the British were about to make some move, and the Americans wished to know on which of two roads they were likely to make their march. it occurred to Samuel that on one of the roads there was a bridge, and he lay down and put his ear to the ground, and was able to tell by the hollow sound that they had passed over the bridge, and this information enabled the Americans to defeat the British in a skirmish the next day."
