Origins

Authorized 20 January 1776 in the Continental Army as the 2nd Canadian Regiment and assigned to the Canadian Department. Organized 10 February 1776 at Montreal, Canada, to consist of four battalions (twenty companies) from the Richelieu and St. Lawrence Valleys [1]. June 1776: left Canada for Crown Point [5] [12] Relieved 2 July 1776 from the Canadian Department and assigned to the Northern Department [1]. Sent to Ticonderoga in July 1776, Albany in September 1776 and Fishkill, NY for winter quarters [5] [12]. The Richelieu River in Quebec, Canada flows about 130 km north to drain Lake Champlain into the St. ... The Saint Lawrence River (French fleuve Saint-Laurent) is a large west-to-east flowing river in the middle latitudes of North America, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. ...

Relieved 12 November 1776 from the Northern Department and assigned to the Highlands Department. Reorganized 1 January 1777 to consist of four battalions (20 companies) recruited at large. Relieved 8 January 1777 from the Highlands Department and assigned to the Main Army. Assigned 22 May 1777 to the 2d Maryland Brigade, an element of the Main Army [1].

The regiment was at Princeton, NJ as early as May 19, 1777 [23]. Several of the regiment's companies participated in the Battle of Staten Island on August 22, 1777 during which Lt. Col. Antill was taken prisoner by the British (he would not be exchanged until November 2, 1780) [12] [21]. Also captured was Captain James Heron [5].

On September 11, 1777, battalion of 200 of Hazen's Regiment was sent a mile north of Jones's Ford to cover Wistar's Ford. Another Hazen battalion of 200 men was posted at Buffington's Ford about a mile north of Wistar's Ford. Situated just below the forks of the Brandywine, Buffington's was the northernmost ford Washington deemed passable by the British [7]. Hazen's troops spotted British troops in a flanking maneuver and crossing the Brandywine River. A report sent forward to George Washington who initially did not believe this intelligence despite its corraboration by Lieutenant Colonel James Ross [2] [5]. Combatants United States Britain Commanders George Washington William Howe Strength 11,000 17,000 Casualties 250 killed 750 wounded 400 captured 89 killed 487 wounded The Battle of Brandywine was a battle of the American Revolutionary War fought on September 11, 1777, near Chadds Ford on Brandywine Creek in Delaware... George Washington (February 22, 1732–December 14, 1799)[1] led Americas Continental Army to victory over Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), and was later elected the first President of the United States. ...

Hazen's Regiment

Hazen's Regiment fought valiantly during the Brandywine Battle as noted by the following British account:

It was during the retreat of Sullivan's men, that Colonel Moses Hazen's regiment, which was known as the 'Infernals', faced down Hessian forces that were three times their number. They fired volley after volley into the mercenaries and covered the retreat of Sullivan's men. At the same time they marched toward the Colonial forces of Alexander and Stephen. The British advance was halted by Alexander and Stephen, but with darkness falling and a third of the rebel forces routed from the field the Redcoats continued to probe for weaknesses. They found it on the flanks of the hill. On both the right and left flanks of Osborne Hill, the British poured hundreds of fresh troops into the fray. Out manned and outgunned, the rebels began to falter. Then they retreated in order with Hazen's 'Infernals' covering the withdrawal. During the fighting, the Colonial's youngest general Marquis de Lafayette was wounded in the leg [20].

Hazen's Regiment participated in the Battle of Germantown in October 1777 [12].

On December 21, 1777, Hazen's Regiment and a detachment of the Maryland Line under the command of General William Smallwood arrived at Wilmington, Delaware to protect the city from the British [5]. They encamped at the present-day Brandywine Park in Wilmington [6]. The Maryland Line was a formation within the Continental Army, comprised of infantry regiments from the state of Maryland. ...

On January 24, 1778 Washington ordered Hazen's Regiment to Albany, NY [16]. Relieved 28 January 1778 from the 2d Maryland Brigade and assigned to the Northern Department [1]. In February 1778, the regiment went to Albany, NY for the abortive Canadian campaign. It traveled to Albany via Valley Forge and Bethleham [5] [12]. Relieved 4 April 1778 from the Northern Department and assigned to the Highlands Department [1]. On April 7, 1778 the regiment went to West Point, NY [5] [12]. Relieved 22 July 1778 from the Highlands Departmend and assigned to the New Hampshire Brigade, an element of the Main Army [1]. In July 1778 the regiment was sent to White Plains to help guard New York City [5] [12]. The New Hampshire Line was a formation within the Continental Army, comprised of infantry regiments from the state of New Hampshire. ...

During the autumn a large shipment of clothing and shoes arrived from France. After a lottery was held in October, Hazen's regiment wore issued the uniform of brown coats faced with red [5] [30].

In November 1778, Hazen's Regiment was ordered to Connecticut where it encamped at Redding - Danbury for winter quarters. Today, this is the site of Putnam Memorial State Park. More than 100 piles of stone in the area of the park known as the "Encampment Site" is believed to mark the locations of the huts that sheltered troops from the New Hampshire Brigade of Enoch Poor and the 2nd Canadian Regiment . A weekly return for the brigade dated December 26, 1778 states that 162 men in Hazen's regiment were "unfit for duty for want of shoes"[4] [5] [12]. Putnam Memorial State Park is named for Major General Israel Putnam who chose the site as the winter encampment for his men during the winter of 1778-1779. ... Enoch Poor (June 21, 1736 – September 8, 1780) was a Brigadier General in the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. ...

Relieved 6 March 1779 from the New Hampshire Brigade and assigned to the Northern Department [1]. Hazen's command seems to have been the first to break camp in the spring, as the following proves:

Head Quarters, Reading, March 21, 1779. Col. Hazen's Regt. will march to Springfield in 3 Divisions by the shortest notice: the first Division will march on Monday next, and the other two will follow on Thursday and Friday next, Weather permitting, and in case the detached parties join the Regt. Col. Hazen will take with him one peice of Cannon and a proportionable Number of Artillery men.

[18]

From Springfield Hazen marched to Charlestown, New Hampshire and picked up cothing and supplies. He departed Charlestown on April 26, 1779 [5].

In May 1779 Hazen's Regiment arrived in northern Vermont to build a road from the Connecticut River to St. John's, Quebec. He had been secretly ordered to this region, known as "Coos Country" by Washington in April. This road became known as the Bayley-Hazen Road. Hazen's Regiment was relieved 28 August 1779 from the Northern Department and assigned to the Main Army. As a result, the regiment never completed the road. The road ends at a site now known as Hazen's Notch [1] [3] [5] [12].

The Connecticut River as seen from the French King Bridge in western Massachusetts. ...

In October 1779 the regiment was ordered to Peekskill, NY [5] [12]. Assigned 25 November 1779 to Hand's Brigade, an element of the Main Army[1]. In November 1779 Hazen's Regiment was ordered to Morristown, New Jersey for the Winter of 1779 - 1780 where they experienced severe shortages of food provisions. This site, also known as "Jockey Hollow," is Morristown National Historic Park [5] [8] [9] [12].

On January 14, 1780, they participated on a "commando" raid of Staten Island planned in secrecy by Washington and led by Major General William Alexander, also known as Lord Stirling. Preparations for the raid called for the enemy's attention to be focused on Irvine's detachment in the vicinity of Elizabethtown, and Hazens Regiment marching to Connecticut Farms (today called Union). Meanwhile, Stewards detachment would advance into Staten Island and Stirling's forces would then push to Richmond, Staten Island where they would surprise enemy troops. On the night of the 14th, loaded with cannon and about 2,500 - 3,000 troops, American forces crossed over on ice from Elizabethtown Point using five hundred sleds. However, the British learned about the scheme in ample time to retire to their posts where they could provide a good defense. After lingering on the island for twenty-four hours without covering, with the snow 4 feet deep and the weather extremely cold, the raid was halted. American troops suffered minor frostbite injuries but brought back some seventeen prisoners, a few horses, a number of tents, several casks of wine and spirits and other stores [5] [23] [27] [28].

Hazen's Regiment spent the summer of 1780 at King's Ferry, NY [5] [12]. Regimental orderly books kept by the regiment show that it was at Morristown, Bryant's Tavern, Ramapo and Preakness during the April 23, 1780 to July 26, 1780 period [24]. Relieved 1 August 1780 from Hand's Brigade and assigned to the New Hampshire Brigade, an element of the Main Army [1].

On August 23, 1780 Baron Von Steuben arrested Hazen for halting his brigade on a march without permission. The army was on the march from Tappan to the Liberty Pole, a pre-war landmark located near Englewood when Hazen halted the march for his troops to drink water. Hazen was acquitted of charges [5].

100 of Hazen's soldiers, under command of Lieutenant William Torrey, were detailed to be present at the hanging of British spy Major John André on October 2, 1780 at Tappan, New York[5] [31] [32].

In the Fall of 1780 the regiment was headquartered at Nelson's Point (Garrison, New York; Garrison is directly across the Hudson River from West Point) [5] [15]. In November 1780, the regiment wintered at Fishkill, N.Y. [5] [10] [12]. Regimental orderly books show that during these periods the regiment had operations at Orangetown, Steeprapie and West Point during the September 16, 1780 to November 19, 1780 period and West Point during the October 5, 1780 thru March 5, 1781 period [24].

On one particular circumstance in October 1780, the regiment, along with the Second Light Dragoons, were ordered by General Heath at West Point to Pine's Bridge, a hamlet of Crompound (Amawalk) where they found no enemy. They sent scouts toward White Plains with similar negative results. Heath rewarded their efforts with "a hogshead of rum [5]."

Canadian Regiment

Reorganized and redesignated 1 January 1781 as the Canadian Regiment; concurrently relieved from the New Hampshire Brigade and assigned to the Highlands Department.

On January 22, 1781 Lieutenant Colonel Hull conducted a raid on a royal refugee corps posted at Morrisania (present-day Bronx, NY) where it burned the enemies' barracks, capturing fifty-two prisoners and taking large supplies of ammunition and forage. The enemy pursued Hull's troops, and fell in with a covering party, under command of Colonel Hazen and, in a skirmish which ensued, British forces suffered the loss of about thirty-five men. [12] [22] [25] [26].

On June 1, 1781, the regiment was sent from the West Point - Fishkill area to Albany and the Mohawk Valley to guard against an expected British attack [12] [21]. Relieved 5 June 1781 from the Highlands Department and assigned to the Northern Department [1].

On June 29, 1781 Congress promoted Moses Hazen to Brigidier General by Brevet [14]. On July 5, 1781 the regiment arrived at Albany. The scare of an enemy attack at Albany had subsided and the regiment was immediately ordered to return to West Point [5] [12] [29].

Relieved 10 August 1781 from the Northern Department and assigned to the Main Army [1]. On August 19, 1781, Washington used Hazen's Regiment to feint preparations of an attack on New York. Hazen's regiment was thrown over the North River at Dobbs Ferry and ordered to march, together with the Jersey troops, and take post on the heights between Springfield and Chatham, in which position the detachment would cover a French bakery that had been set up at Chatham "to veil our real movements and create apprehensions for Staten Island." Meanwhile, the main body of the American Army was starting their southward movement toward Yorktown [5] [11] [12]. Hazen's Regiment was located near Kakiat for three days from August 22-25, 1781 [19].

The regiment then went down the Hudson River and joined the army on the way to Yorktown [10]. At midnight on September 2, 1781, 270 of Hazen's Regiment and other units arrived at Christiana Bridge over the Delaware. The units unloaded the boats and transported supplies for the Continental Army to Elk Landing (present-day Elkton, Maryland) during the three days before the boat carriages arrived [5] [13]. Assigned 24 September 1781 to Hazen's Brigade, an element of the Main Army [1]. After cantonement at Williamsburg, Hazen's Regiment arrived at Yorktown on September 28, 1781 [5].

The regiment subsequently took part in the seige under the command of Lt. Colonel Antill as part of Hazen's Brigade under Lafayette's Division [5] [10] [12]. According to La Fayette's own account the Americans did not fire a gun, but only used the bayonet. Columns under Generals Muhlenberg and Hazen, "advanced with perfect discipline and wonderful steadiness. The battalion of Colonel Vose deployed on the left. The remainder of the division and the rear-guard successively took their positions, under the fire of the enemy, without replying, in perfect order and silence [17]."

Relieved 6 December 1781 from Hazen's Brigade and assigned to the Middle Department[1].

In December 1781, a portion of Hazen's Regiment went to Lancaster, Pennsylvania where they guarded prisoners captured at the Siege of Yorktown [1] [5] [12]. They were on this detail for 10 months with prisoners under guard at Lancaster, York and Reading [5] [10].
