BATTLES of SARATOGA (September 19th and October 7th 1777) – in response to the invasion of British forces under General Burgoyne advancing south from Canada in the summer of 1777, the Connecticut Colony sent TWO Militia Regiments “northward” to help supplement General Horatio Gates American Army, who were ordered to confront the threat. Upon their arrival, the Connecticut Regiments of COLONEL Jonathan Latimer and COLONEL Thaddeus Cook were placed under the command of Brigadier General Enoch Poor. Colonel Latimer’s forces fought in the September 19th “Battle of Freeman’s Farm”, the first of the two engagements in the Saratoga campaign. Colonel Latimer’s casualties included – two privates killed, nine privates wounded, and one Captain (Daniel Clark) missing. Captain Clark was found the following day by American troops scouting the enemy’s positions. Captain Clark had been shot in the head and left for dead. Barely alive, he was treated by the medical staff but succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter.
