Early in 1775, an independent military camp was formed in New London under Capt. William Court. It was well trained and equipped and held itself ready for any emergency. Immediately after the news of the battle of Lexington was received, this gallant band started for the scene of conflict. They encamped the first night on Norwich Green, the second on Sterling Hill, the third in Providence. Another Militia company went from those parts of the town which are now Waterford and Montville under Major Jonathan Latimer. Captain Able Spicer with another from Groton (fifty towns in CT) sent troops to Boston on this occasion.

The following minutes of the day before the battle, were copied from the originals preserved in the Sargents family by the late Thomas Shaw Perkins. They are inserted here as memorials of one of the New London company's that fought at Bunker Hill.
