2. Samuel Still Augustus Barker (1756–1819) of Branford, Conn., served as adjutant of Col. William Douglas’s regiment of Connecticut militia levies from June to December 1776, when he became adjutant and a first lieutenant in Douglas’s 6th Connecticut Regiment. Barker was promoted to captain in May 1780, and during 1781 he was named brigade major and subinspector of the 1st Connecticut Brigade. He resigned from the army on 13 April 1782 and later settled in Dutchess County, New York.

Benjamin Tallmadge (1754–1835), who managed GW’s secret service between 1778 and 1783, was born at Brookhaven, Long Island, and after graduating from Yale in 1773, he became superintendent of the high school at Wethersfield, Connecticut. Abandoning plans to study law, Tallmadge joined Col. John Chester’s regiment of Connecticut militia levies in June 1776 as a lieutenant and adjutant. He was named brigade major of Gen. James Wadsworth’s brigade on 11 Oct. 1776 (see General Orders, that date), and on 14 Dec. 1776 he was commissioned a captain in the 2d Continental Light Dragoon Regiment. Promoted to major in April 1777, Tallmadge remained with that regiment until the end of the war, participating in numerous skirmishes and raids and becoming deeply involved in intelligence work. In 1778 Tallmadge began conducting a highly useful correspondence with American agents in New York City, and in September 1780 he played an important role in uncovering Arnold’s treason (see Tallmadge, Memoirs description begins Memoir of Col. Benjamin Tallmadge, Prepared by Himself, at the Request of his Children. 1858. Reprint. New York, 1968. description ends , 29, 35–39). In November 1780 Tallmadge led a raid on Fort St. George, Long Island, for which he was commended by Congress (see ibid., 39–42, and JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds. Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789. 34 vols. Washington, D.C., 1904–37. description ends , 18:1121–22). After the war Tallmadge became a businessman in Litchfield, Conn., and from 1801 to 1817 he was a member of the U.S. Congress.
