Lawyer, admitted to the bar June, 1770.
Jeremiah Halsey took an active part in the Rev. War. He spent more timeand money than any other man in Connecticut except Gov. Trumbell andGeneral Putnam. May 1st 1775, he was commissioned as Lieut. in CaptainMott's company, Col. Edward's regiment and joined the NorthernDepartment. In the preparations to capture Ticonderoga he went fromHartford with others as far as Sheffield, Mass., When with Capt. JohnStevens he was sent to Albany to discover the temper of the people. Theythought it hazardous. He was with Ethan Allen in the capture of the fortwhich he with seven others had planned and carried out at their ownexpense, and was one of the men sent to Congress with his "present of amajor, a captain, two lieutenants and 16 regulars. " He wascommissioned by Col. Hinman in command of the forces as captain of thearmed sloop "Enterprise," and to command the fleet of vessels in thelake, and was thus the first naval commander of the U.S.
The following petition to Gen. Schuyler appears in the Am. Arch., Vol.III, pg. 4, signed by a number of Regimental officers and Ethan Allen:
"To Gen. Schuyler and Gen. Trumbull, petition dated
Crown Point, Aug. 1, '75, signed by Ethan Allen and
other officers.
"Whereas, Jeremiah Halsey, Esq., was by Benjamin Hinman, Esq., whencommander in chief on the North-Department appointed and commissioned. tobe commodore of all the armed vessels and crafts on the Northern Lakesviz: Lake Champlain, George, &c.; and we, the subscribers, hereby certifysince the said Halsey's appointment he hath behaved with the utmostprudence and good conduct, hath maintained the character of an honorablecommander, faithfully discharged the duties of said office of Commanderof the said Lakes, and is in our opinion a man of fortitude andresolution and possessed of every qualification necessary for the seamanor soldier, and well understands the business of an officer either by seaor land, and we would therefore desire your Honors, as the said Halsey issuperseded in the command of said vessels by the Province of New Yorkappointing a man to said office, either to discharge the said Halseyhonorably from the service of the United Colonies or appoint him to anoffice in said service agreeable to his merits, which is the desire ofyour Honors' most obedient and humble servants."
He was present at the siege and capture of St. Johns as an engineer. InDec. 1776, he was commissioned a captain in the Continental line. InJan., 1780, he was commissioned as Lieut. Col. of 27 Reg. Militia forPreston. After the war he built a vessel of which the following accountis taken from Caulkin's New London, p. 576:
"In 1786, a very singular vessel was constructed at Poquetanuck on theriver Thames, ten miles from New London, by Jeremiah Halsey. She wasdouble-decked, burden about 150 tons, and built almost wholly of plank,several courses being laid crossing each other at right angles. The onlytimbers in her were the keel, stem and stern post. She was firm,well-molded, graceful, and on coming down to New London in Novemberexcited very general curiosity. She was called a snow and named LadyStrange, but many people for her lightness called her the Balloon. In astorm which occurred Dec. 3d, while she was fitting for sea, she wasdriven directly over the sandy point of Shaw's Neck and stranded amongthe trees of an orchard on Close Cove, but was got off without damage andsailed for Ireland Jan. 19, 1787. She proved to be a good sea vessel anda fast Sailer, and made several voyages from New London, but wasafterwards owned in Philadelphia. According to a statement published soonafter the death of Halsey, the ingenious architect of this vessel, shewas examined at Philadelphia when 32 years old, and was at that timestaunch and sound."
In 1792 with one Andrew Ward he contracted to finish the State House atHartford for the State's title to "the Gore," a piece of land lyingbetween New York and Pennsylvania. They completed the contract and tooktitle to the land July 25, 1795. Mr. H. bought out Ward but the landproved to belong to New York and he lost it. He was afterward compensatedin part by the Legislature.
He was a man of tall and commanding presence, sanguine temperament andgreat force and energy of character.
