Major Stephen Bohonon was one of the last survivors in Salisbury of the Revolutionary War. He was distinguished among that hardy corps known as the Rangers. Early in the war, when less than sixteen years of age, his uncle, Captain Ebenezer Webster came to his sister's house and said to her at the door that she must give up Stephen too (her husband, Andrew, was already in the service) to go and aid the cause of the country. He dwelt upon the urgent need for more men at once or all might be lost. A mother's fond misgivings caused her to hesitate for a moment, but finally agreed. Stephen was given up to the service on the promise of Captain Webster that his nephew, for a time at least, should not be exposed, but serve as his clerk and waiter. From inside, Stephen had heard the conversation. He came running out and said, "Uncle, I wish to go to the service, but I will not go as a waiter to anybody. I will enter the ranks as a soldier." The Captain replied, "Stephen, you are a brave boy and shall serve in such a manner as you please." It is said that he immediately proceeded in the company under his uncle's command to Bennington and performed his part well in the engagement of British troops under General Baum. He then entered the regular service and served in different positions during the war.

Stephen was at West Point under Captain Webster in a six-month's service when the treachery of Arnold was discovered. Captain Webster had the distinguished honor of being selected to guard Washington’s headquarters the night following the discovery. Stephen walked before Washington’s tent all-night and later said that Washington did not lie down once, but was employed in writing through the night.

Major Stephen built the first house on the site of the Congregational church parsonage and in one of the front rooms he kept a small stock of goods. This was probably the first store at the South Road Village if not the first in town.

After leaving the service he resided for many years in Chelsea, VT and was prominent in public affairs having been a magistrate, town clerk in 1791 and member of the State Legislature in 1796.

Major Ananiah Bohonon was another soldier in the war for independence, entering the army March 13, 1781 and rendering efficient service until the disbanding of the forces in 1783. He served first in Captain Webster's company with his brother, Stephen, and their father, Lieutenant Andrew. In figure he was very erect and was personally complimented by Baron Steuben for his fine soldierly bearing when the troops were passing in review.

After the war he settled in Salisbury, but about 1796 moved to Chelsea with his brother, Stephen. He is mentioned in "Reminiscences of Chelsea" as "possessing natural talent almost the equal of his distinguished cousin, Daniel Webster, and like the rest of the Bohonons, exceedingly bright and witty."
