chaick's
expedition against the Onondagas, of which he kept a journal, and in
June joined Sullivan's expedition to the Genesee Valley, as engineer. A

such from 21st August, 1780. In January, 1797, he removed to Montgomery

CAPTAIN MACKINTOSH

Was a tradesman of Boston, who acquired great prominence in the local
disturbances of the town, prior to the outbreak of the Revolution, but who
disappears from her history after that period. He first came into notice
as the leader of the South End party, in the celebration of Pope Day,
which took place on the 5th of November, in commemoration of the discovery
of the gunpowder plot. In 1765, the two factions of the North and South
Ends harmonized, and after a friendly meeting in King (now State) Street,
marched together to Liberty Tree. The leaders,--Mackintosh of the South,
and Swift of the North End,--appeared in military habits, with small canes
resting on their left arms, having music in front and flank. All the
property used on such occasions was afterwards burnt on Copp's Hill.
Mackintosh was a ringleader in the riot of August 26, 1765, when
Lieutenant-Governor Hutchinson's house was destroyed, and was arrested in
King Street next day, but was immediately released by the sheriff, on the
demand of a number of merchants, and other persons of character and
property.

From the Diary and Letters of Thomas Hutchinson, we take the following
passage:

"The Governor had summoned a council the day after the riot.
The sheriff attended, and upon enquiring, it appeared that
one Mackintosh, a shoemaker, was among the most active in
destroying the Lieutenant-Governor's house and furniture. A
warrant was given to the sheriff to apprehend him by name,
with divers others. Mackintosh appear
