Surnames from N to YWar of 1812
Among the soldiers from the Neck engaged in the war of 1812-14 were: Captain Roswell BRAINERD, Ansel BRAINERD, Lester BRAINERD, Porter SMITH. David YOUNG, Elijah YOUNG. It was during the war of 1812-14, that several young men and boys, among whom was Oliver B. ARNOLD, of the Neck, went early one Sunday morning to the river to bathe, near a fish place, at Middle Haddam Landing. They saw in the distance a fleet of small fishing vessels coming up the river. It was at a time when a rumor was current that spies occasionally passed up the river in vessels, the better to avoid observation, in their endeavor to gain information. Perhaps influenced by this consideration in some degree, but more by a desire for fun, they quickly mounted on the capstan of the fish place several eel pots lying around, which from their size and shape resembled cannon. A dense fog coming on helped the illusion. A fire was kindled, and a long handled torch prepared and lighted. As the vessels came near, Neil GOFF, the captain of the party, waved his wooden sword over his head, and hailed them without effect.
He then, in a loud voice, ordered, "Prepare to fire!" The blazing torch was waved, and at his second hail the vessels came to and answered every question promptly, gave their number, freight, port, and destination. One of the questions was : "If they had seen any suspicious vessels?" Captain GOFF, apparently satisfied, told them they might proceed. One of them, as if in apology, remarked: "We didn't know that you fortified up here."

[Thank you to Ray Brown who provided a copy of the cemetery listing for transcription. As frequently occurs in cemetery readings, especially those that were taken in the 1800s & early 1900s, many are only called the "Old" or the "Ancient". In this case, I am informed by those familiar with the Haddam area that this cemetery is the one in the town of Haddam, across from the Founders Monument. Thank you to Harry Walden & David Hoffman for this information.]
