| After 1771 | Biography | Eliphalet removed with his wife to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where they erected their new home. During its construction, the Revolutionary War was reaching its crisis, and Comfort, realizing the necessity of her husband's presence with those who were to save the honor of their country, assisted her husband in constructing their house by carrying the plaster for the chimney, and also by plastering one of the rooms, so that it would be sufficiently completed before cold weather set in, that Eliphalet could join the regiment. Having no glass for her window frames, Comfort oiled paper for her windows, and Eliphalet went to serve his country and honor. Stockbridge was then in the wilds of Massachusetts, and frequent incursions were made by the Indians, so that she had not only a lonely but dangerous and anxious time of waiting. Eliphalet served in Capt. Ezra Whittlesey's company, 3d Berkshire Regiment. When the regiment returned to Boston, in the fall of that year, it reached that city on Saturday. There being no stage going West until Monday, Eliphalet walked home and found twins awaiting him. His service was in October of 1780. [Letter of Wm. M. Olin, Secretary Commonwealth of Massachusetts, May 29, 1897; Letter dated Sept. 9, 1892; Revolutionary Muster Rolls, Vol. 24, p. 44.] In the beautiful orchard surrounding the old homestead of Eliphalet and Comfort Whittlesey, still stand the trees bearing the letters E. W. and C. W., which were cut in their bark over a hundred and fifty years ago.2 |
