Andrew, long
and familiarly known as Ensign Bohonon, came to Salisbury with his
father's family about 1750. At the age of seventeen (1755) he was engaged
in the French war under Captain John Stark (afterwards, General Stark) and
continued with the Rangers until the close of that war. When the
Revolutionary War began, he volunteered under Captain Connor of Pembroke,
served at Winter Hill and continued there during the siege of Boston. In
1776 he joined the company of Captain Benjamin Emory in Colonel Baldwin's
Regiment, served in the Battle of White Plains and continued with the army
until the following winter. In 1777 he was Lieutenant under Captain
Ebenezer Webster (his father-in-law) and it has been reported that he
served in the Battle of Bennington under General Stark. He volunteered
again in 1778 and went with General Sullivan to Rhode Island. While there,
the volunteers were ordered to take their stand upon the lower pickets,
near the enemy's ships. One morning when he was on guard, he saw a British
Lieutenant of Marines in a field of corn not far from him. He hailed the
bold intruder, brought him to and ordered him to lay down his arms, which
the proud Briton found it necessary to do. Andrew marched in with his
prisoner of war amidst the loud acclamations of his fellow soldiers. These
facts are taken from a lengthy obituary published in the "New
Hampshire Patriot" on June 12, 1826 which adds: "Lieutenant
Bohonon maintained through life a uniform character of integrity and
uprightness." He was said to have been a handsome man and in colonial
days was conspicuous by his picturesque personal appearance.
His first wife,
Susannah Webster, was the daughter of Ebenezer Webster and Susannah
Batchelder. She was the sister of Judge Ebenezer Webster, the father of
Daniel Webster, American statesman and patriot.

Ebenezer Bohonon b. 1790. Ebenezer, b. in 1790, was in the
army in the War of 1812-14. He wrote home from near New Orleans,
saying that they had been ordered to and were just leaving for
that city and that he would write again on arrival there. He was
never heard from afterwards.
However,
the following is listed in the Historical Register and Dictionary
of the United States Army, 1789-1903, Vol.1, B, Page 228:
Bohonon,
Ebenezer W. Vt. Vt. Ens 31 infantry 30 Apr 1814; 3 lieutenant 1
May 1814; honorable discharge 15 June 1815.
It is
possible, however, that this is Ebenezer Webster Bohonon (#51) son
of Stephen Bohonon and Olive Elliott.
