General Notes: Husband - Capt. Job Shattuck

---

He was reared on the farm and later came into possession of lands formerly owned by his father, either through inheritance or purchase. To this he added five hundred acres and was one of the largest land owners on Nashua river. He en­tered the military service of the colony in 1755 as a soldier in Colonel Monkton's regi­ment, serving in Nova Scotia during the French and Indian war. He answered the “alarm” at Lexington, April 19, 1775, march­ing in Captain Asa Lawrence's company, and was engaged at the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775. He was later first lieutenant of a company of Groton men, of which Josiah Sawtell was captain. In 1776 he commanded a company, that occupied Boston after its evacu­ation by the British. In 1777 he was captain of a Groton company, which marched to Ti­conderoga, and was with the army at Burgoyne's surrender. In 1779 he was captain of a Groton company, and continued in its com­mand until peace was declared. He was also at the head of a committee to raise men and money to prosecute the war, and during the whole revolutionary struggle gave freely of his time and money to aid the cause of liberty, exhibiting the highest evidence of patriotism, bravery, energy and self-sacrifice. When re­cruiting was difficult he sent two of his sons, Ezekiel and Job, to the army, the former going to Rhode Island, the latter to West Point, where he was stationed at the time of Arnold's treason and Andre's execution.
