"During the Revolution - time, probably winter of camp at alley Forge - General Washington came to Hartford to confer with Governor Jonathan Trumball on the state of the army, they being in great straits - destiute of food and ammunition. the members of the Assembly went home on Saturday, for the Assembly was in session at the time, to collect supplies among their constituents. Ebenezer, who was a member of the Assembly, caused the lead weights to be taken from his old clock and run into bullets substituting bags of sand for the same. Joseph, his son, was sent to collect flour, and himself and sister worked during the entire Sabbath, and night following, to 'prepare bullets and biscuits' for the Continental soldiers. On Monday morning Deacon Kingsbury, .. these things were immediately sent to the headquarters of the army and distributed to the needy soldiers. Other members, did the same, thus furnishing to the army a supply of food and ammunition at a critical period of our history".
