  REFN: 12064 At the session of the Legislature, in May, 1776, he was appointedMaj or of Militia, and at the session in the fall, Colonel. The followin g notice from the Green's Gazette of September 18, 1776, shows the re gard of theladies of East Haddam for their townsman, while absent o n military duty, andis a handsome tribute to their patriotism and ph ysicalenergy. "Several of the most respectable ladies of East Haddam , about thirty in number, met at Colonel Jabez Chapman's barn, and hu sked, in four or five hours, about two hundred and forty bushels of c orn. A noble example, so necessary in the bleeding country, while th eir fathers and brothers were fighting the battles of the nation."
