" This was the South Church of Portsmouth which gave him a salary of j£jo yearly and valuable assistance in the matter of fire wood, which, as he set forth, is a "very chargeable article in this popu- lous town. " In addition, the town's peo- ple were moved to allow him the use of the training field for his horse and cow pasture.
Besides giving effective service to the country during the Revolutionary War in throwing the weight of his character and influence toward the cause of the Colonies, he... gave very practical assistance in pro- viding munitions of war. After the news of the battle of Lexington reached Ports- mouth, he sat up with his family the greater part of the night making bullets.
He also was very proficient in the manufacture of saltpetre, using the vacant lot north of his house where later stood the Parry House, and procuring earth for its composition from under the South Church and other favorable localities. A receipt is in existence, given to the Reverend Doctor Haven by two physicians in Portsmouth, that they had "examined a quantity of saltpetre made by him and have weighed off three hundred and eight lbs.
