Chapter 8 War of 1812-1814 | Camden County, NJGenWeb

THE prosperity of the United States after the achievement of their independence was interrupted by the war between England and France, during the career of Napoleon Bonaparte. Those nations declared each other’s ports to be in a state of blockade, which closed them against American commerce. The British government demanded the "right of search," to take from American vessels, sailors, claimed to be of English birth, and impress them into the English service. The American people demanded "free trade and sailors’ rights," and the outrages perpetrated were so great that America insisted upon a surrender of the British claim of search. The government of the United States refused to negotiate on the subject, and an embargo was laid upon all ships in American ports.

In all, three thousand American sailors, who were, or were claimed to be, of British birth, were impressed into the British navy; and many hundreds of Irish emigrants on their way to the United States were taken from their ships, upon which they were sailing on the high seas, and compelled to serve on British decks as marines.

The crowning act was committed on June 22, 1807, when the British frigate "Leopard," without warning, fired into the American man-of-war "Chesapeake," disabled her and took from among her crew four men, on the charge that they were deserters from a British ship. Congress passed the Embargo and Non-Intercourse Acts, which were retaliatory measures designed to stop commerce between the United States and Great Britain. The Democrats, who favored a declaration of war, elected Madison President, for whom New Jersey gave her electoral vote. The conspiracy of Governor Craig, of Canada, and the British ministry to induce the New England States to secede from the Union, by aggravating the discontent which they, the great ship-owning and commercial section of the nation, felt because of the prostration of that interest, was revealed by John Henry, and on June 4, 1812, war was declared by Congress.

The prevailing sentiment in New Jersey favored peace if it could be had with honor, but it did not flinch from the crisis that England precipitated. On January 9th, five months before the declaration of war, Samuel Pennington, of Essex County, introduced in the House of Assembly a preamble and resolutions, reciting the grievances of the country, and adding, -
"That in case the government of the United States shall eventually determine to resist by force the lawless aggressions committed by the British nation on the persons and property of our citizens, this Legislature, in behalf of themselves and the citizens of New Jersey, whose representatives they are, pledge themselves to the nation to render to the general government all the aid, assistance and support in their power, and will, with all readiness, perform all the duties required of them in the prosecution of a war undertaken for the common defence and general welfare."

On November 10th an order calling out the militia was issued, and among those who tendered the services of their companies was Captain Pissant, of Woodbury. No other organization is reported at that time as coming from Gloucester County, but it seems that many Gloucester men were enrolled in companies formed at Salem, and that they were commanded by Captains Tuft, William Ray, Freas and Garrison.

They were in service generally three months; five hundred at Fort Richmond, on Staten Island; other detachments at Paulus Hook and Marcus Hook, and still others along the Delaware River. The State was not the theatre of any military operations, but precautionary measures were taken in case the British should attempt an invasion by way of the Delaware, which was frequently threatened by the presence of her fleets along the coast. In 1814 a brigade of militia, under command of General Ebenezer Elmer, was stationed at Billingsport, from whence it observed the movements of a small British schooner, which occasionally came into the river. Forty or fifty of these landsmen chartered another schooner, and, putting themselves under the direction of a dragoon officer, who had been a sailor, they put off to attack the foe. Unluckily, the water was so rough that all hands, except the captain and a few others, were driven below by sea-sickness; but even thus disabled, he gave chase to the British vessel, which crowded on canvas and put out to sea, though she could easily have captured her pursuer.

In the latter part of l813, as several small coasters were sailing around Cape May from the Delaware River, bound for Egg Harbor, they came in contact with a British armed schooner lying off the Cape. She chased and captured the sloop "New Jersey," from Mays Landing, which was manned by the master, Captain Burton, and two hands. Having placed on board as prize-master a young midshipman, with three men (two Englishmen and an Irishman), she ordered the sloop to follow her, and made chase for the other vessels. As they neared Egg Harbor, the approach of night compelled her to desist from the chase, and she then put about for the Cape. The sloop followed, but made little headway, the midshipman in command being an indifferent seaman, and he finally ordered Burton to take the helm and head for Cape May. Burton designedly held the sloop off and on during the night, so that when morning dawned they were off the mouth of Great Egg Harbor. Burton professed ignorance of his whereabouts, and the puzzled British middy sent one man aloft as a look-out, while he went below with another to study the charts, leaving one of the prize-crew on deck with the Americans. The latter made this man prisoner, secured the lookout as he came down from the masthead, locked the midshipman and his companion in the cabin, and thus recaptured their vessel, which they sailed to Somers Point, where they turned their captives over to an American officer. The midshipman was exchanged, the two Englishmen went to work in the neighborhood and the Irishman enlisted in the United States navy.

The heroic Captain James Lawrence, so greatly distinguished in this war, though born in Burlington, obtained much of his education at the academy in Woodbury, when he studied navigation with Samuel Webster.* For two years he read law with his brother John, who was a leading practitioner at the Gloucester bar, but left his office in 1798 to accept a midshipman’s commission in the navy. Mickle, in his "Reminiscences of Old Gloucester," relates that he was told by a friend who met Lawrence at English’s Ferry, in Camden, at the opening of the war, that the latter remarked with much warmth, in alluding to the attack of the "Leopard" upon the "Chesapeake:" "I shall never sleep sound until that stain is washed from the ‘Chesapeake’s’ decks." Perhaps he had this deed of vengeance in mind when he was promoted to the command of the "Chesapeake," and, on June 1, 1813, accepted the challenge of Captain Broke, of the British frigate "Shannon," to the combat off the Massachusetts coast. Going into action with an unprepared ship and a raw crew, he suffered a terrible defeat and lost his own life. As they bore him down the hatchway, bleeding to death, he gave, in feeble voice, his last heroic order - ever afterward the motto of the American man-o’-war’s man - "Don’t give up the ship." On the previous 24th of February, while commanding the "Hornet," he had captured the British sloop-of-war "Peacock" on the South American coast, and had won the plaudits of the nation.

NEW JERSEY MILITIA. - The army of the United States previous to 1808 numbered only three thousand men, but the same year the force was increased to six thousand. In January, 1812, Congress had directed a force of twenty-five thousand to be raised, so that the entire number authorized by law now exceeded thirty-five thousand, including the officers, and consisted of twenty-five regiments of infantry, three of artillery, two of light artillery, two of dragoons and two rifle regiments. In addition to this, the President was authorized to accept the services of any number of volunteers not exceeding fifty thousand, who were to be armed and equipped by the United States; and a similar authority was given to him to call upon the Governors of States for detachments of militia, the whole of which was not to exceed one hundred thousand.

Aaron Ogden, Governor of New Jersey, issued his proclamation calling for volunteers to garrison fortifications and for coast defense.

In answer to this call, Gloucester County responded with eleven full companies of troops, of which one was independent, eight were attached to Brigadier-General Ebenezer Elmer’s brigade of detailed militia and were assigned to Colonel Joshua Howell’s regiment. They were stationed at Billingsport, Cape May and Port Elizabeth. Two full companies - one of infantry and the other of artillery - were assigned to the defense of the sea-coast from New York Harbor to Cape May, and as occasion demanded, were detached to protect any and all points along the sea-coast.

The territory embraced in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, since taken from Gloucester, sent out its quota of volunteers who took a prominent part in inland and coast protection, and as all the troops herein appended were accredited to Gloucester County, it is impossible to collect and assign the troops to the several counties, as upon the original rolls, now in the office of the adjutant-general in Trenton (and from which these lists were copied), each and all the companies arc mentioned only as from Gloucester County.

The first full company to offer its services to Governor Ogden was that of Captain John Cade. The name of Captain John Cade is yet well remembered by many citizens of Gloucester, Camden and Atlantic Counties; for many years he was court-crier and jail-keeper at Woodbury and took a prominent part in the military organizations of the county. His son, Thomas Jefferson Cade, "the drummer-boy of Billingsport," was attached to his company and at this date, 1886, is an honored official in the clerk’s office in Woodbury.
