Compiled by David A. Crouse, January 2000, from information of Berkeley
N. Henley and other sources.



5. AMOS HARRIMAN  (4. Joshua;  3. Mathew;  2. Mathew;  1. Leonard);
son of Joshua and Dorcas (Gage) Harriman of Haverhill, MA, and Plaistow,

NH;
born 9 December 1754 (gravestone indicates b. 1758), in Plaistow, NH;
died 28 April 1824, in Chatham, NH; buried with wife at Chatham Center
Cemetery;
married NANCY __________, who was born about 1763, and died 15 September

1831.

Amos enlisted on 14 Feb. 1775, as a private in the Methuen, MA,
Minutemen
of the Essex County Regiment under Capt. John Davis and Col. James Frye.

The alarm that the British were marching on Concord, MA, was received in

Methuen about sunrise on that fateful morning of 19 April 1775.  Capt.
Davis' company crossed the Merrimack River and mustered in Andover.
About 10 A. M. they left for Concord.  In reaching Bedford they learned
the British were in retreat, so they altered their course to pursue
them,
but saw only the wounded and dying soldiers and burning houses and
farms.
 When they reached what is now Arlington, MA, they camped for the night
and marched on to Cambridge the following day.  Amos Harriman also
served
with the Methuen Minutemen at the Battle of Bunker Hill on 17 June 1775.

It is possible that Amos also served in Capt. Josiah Davis' Company,
Col.
Joseph L. Prime's York County (ME) Regiment in 1780.  Amos moved to the
Fryeburg, ME, area and married Nancy sometime between 1776 and 1780.
