    ... the Department of the Interior at Washington furnished the following to John D. Candee, of Bridgepoprt, March 15th, 1882:
    ... 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 engaged 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.
