OXFORD RESIDENTS AND THEIR ROLES IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

   Although there are no records of Revolutionary War actions taking place within the confines of the town of Oxford, a number of residents participated in the war, and Oxford young men were subject to the efforts of the British to enlist men from the Colonies to serve in her armies.
   N. J. Wilcoxson listed the names of Capt. Samuel Candee, Capt. Job Candee, David Peck, Edward Bassett, Isaac Chatfield, Timothy Johnson, Phineas Johnson and Jeremiah M. Kelley.
   The Litchfield-Hoyt History adds two others to the list: Prudence Lounsbury, Uri Scott.
