13J. L. Rockey, History of New Haven County, Connecticut, p. 543. " ... the Department of the Interior at Washington furnished the following to John D. Candee, of Bridgepoprt, March 15th, 1882:
Sir: In accordance with your request for information of the military services of your grandfather Samuel Candee, in the Revolutionary war, the following statements are furnished from his declaration:
He entered the service at Derby May 1st, 1775, in Lieut. Bradford Steel's company, in Colonel Wooster's Connecticut regiment; marched to Boston, and was immediately appoined sergeant, the warrrant being signed by Col. Wooster, but is lost. He remained at the seige of that city during his 7 months term of enlistment, which ended January 1, 1776, but he was persuaded by his officers to remain 20 days longer. In Jul, 1776, he was a sergeant in a company of Woodbridge militia, then a part of New Haven, when the entire company was called out to go to New York city, and they left Woodbridge on the 213d of July. On their arrival they were ordered to Long Island, being attached to Col. Thompson's Connecticut regiment, where the company was engaged in several skirmishes with the enemy, followed by the retreat of the enemy to New York, and the evacuation of the city.
While engaed in throwing up entrenchments, the British sailed up the East river, landed at Turtle Bay, and on Sunday, September 15, an engagement ensued, and the enemy retreated to New York. Col. Thompson's regiment was the last to retire from the occupation of the City, and he was killed in one of the battles that occurred soon after. Samuel Candee and his brother Job, who was in Capt. Beecher's Company, and Col. Thompson's Regiment, were both standing near him when he was killed, and but a minute previous had been conversing with him.
He volunteered as sergeant under Capt John Riggs of Oxford, where he was at the time, for service, which continued 6 weeks, when the British invaded New Haven, July 5th, 1779, and burned Fairfield about the 9th of the same month ...
He was born in Derby December 15th, 1753 ..."
