Manuscript DS, signed twice “Ezekiel Hayes,” one page, 7.75 x 10.5, dated June 17, 1777. Document reads, in part: “The State of Connecticut to Ezekiel Hayes…the Bounty of Making Gun Barrels & Gun Locks…five Guns & Locks made & sold Timothy Jones Jnr …one Gun 7 Lock sold Joel Bradley…two Gun Locks sold Pierpont Edwards…ten Guns & Locks sold Adam Babcock.” An endorsement signed by Justice of the Peace John Whitney follows, stating: “Capt Ezekiel Hayes of New Haven…made oath to the Truth of the above charge, and that he has not received the Bounty allowed by the General Assembly for making the above mentioned Guns & Locks.” A short manuscript receipt appears below the endorsement. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, and a few stray ink marks and spots. The Second Company responded to the Lexington Alarm in April and marched to Boston to assist the patriots in Boston.
