Soon after Thompson's rifle battalion took the field, as already mentioned, other troops were raised and organized in Lancaster County, for the patriot army. The First Pennsylvania Battalion, raised in pursuance of a resolution of Congress, passed Oct 12, 1775, recommending the Assembly or the Committee of Safety of Pennsylvania to raise a battalion on the same terms as those ordered to be raise in New Jersey. contained a large number of Lancaster County men, and was commanded by a Lancaster County officer--Col. John Philip De Haas--whose residence, however, was in that part of the county which is now Lebanon. The surgeon of the battalion was Dr. Robert Boyd, of Lancaster County, and among the names of its line-officers is found that of Lieut. Adam Hubley. Jr., of Lancaster, who in 1776 was promoted to major of one of the additional regiments, and subsequently to lieutenant-colonel of the Tenth Pennsylvania, and still later (June 5, 1779) "lieutenant-colonel commandant" of the "New Eleventh" Pennsylvania Regiment, of the Continental Line, and Jacob Ziegler, of Lancaster.

In the spring of 1778 an expedition was fitted out under command of Maj.-Gen. Sullivan, to march by way of the North Branch of the Susquehanna into the country of the Cayuga and Seneca Indians, for the purpose of destroying the villages and crops of those tribes in retaliation for their bloody participation in the massacre at Wyoming in July of the previous year. One of the regiments in Sullivan's expedition was the "New Eleventh" Pennsylvania, under "Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant" Adam Hubley, Jr., of Lancaster, who was commissioned to that office June 8, 1779, to rank from the preceding 13th of February.

The number of prisoners held at Lancaster at this time was only about eight hundred,<sp>2</sp>[2 In a letter from Col. Adam Hubley, county lieutenant, to President Reed, dated Lancaster, May 21, 1781, the writer said, "We have 800 Prisoners here; the number of disaffected people through this County is very considerable, so that our situation is truly alarming when I consider the state in which I find the militia. . . . The farmer will now be wanted in the field to gather his Harvest, and the expenses of quartering Country militia when called upon to perform a tour of duty can be saved, as the Town people have their own houses to go to; besides, should there be a call for militia to march this summer, this town must in a manner be left naked, as the Guards merely would not be sufficient to secure 800 prisoners, exclusive of their Emissaries, which I believe are not inconsiderable."] instead of twelve hundred, as indicated in the foregoing order of Council. They were principally Hessians, and of the class termed "unconditional prisoners." They were guarded by details of men from the militia, which were changed from time to time; and besides these, a detachment of Col. Moylan's cavalry was stationed at Lancaster<sp>3</sp>[3 "From the many and frequent applications, I conceive it my duty to represent to your Excellency the situation of this place. The powder magazine, in which is deposited between twenty and thirty Tun of Powder, is and has been for some time past without Guard. The Militia of this place are unarmed, nor are there any for them in this place, so that little or nothing would be done to oppose any attempt against the magazine or other publick property."In consideration of the singular situation of this place application for a Guard from the Corporation was made some time since to the Board of War, who, in consequence thereof, ordered Colo. Mayland's [Moylan's] Reg't (stationed here) to do that duty; but the peculiar state of those Troops I fear they were not acquainted with. I am informed by the commandant they have so few men as scarcely to enable them to furnish a sufficient Guard for the Stables (which is absolutely necessary) and those are destitute of clothing, and some of them sickly."--Letter of Col. Adam Hubley to President Reed, dated Lancaster, March 3, 1781.] to give greater security to the town, the magazine (in which was more than twenty tons of powder), and the large quantities of supplies which were stored there. But between the cavalrymen and the militia guards there was soon developed a feeling of animosity which, on the 19th of May, resulted in a collision that was mentioned as follows in a letter written two days afterwards by Col. Adam Hubley, Jr., to President Reed:

Three days before the above-mentioned affray between the dragoons and militia guards the authorities at Lancaster discovered a well-concerted plot among the prisoners to effect their escape, and which they had intended to put in execution on the 17th of May. The particulars of the affair were narrated as follows by Col. Adam Hubley, Jr., county lieutenant, in a letter to President Reed, dated Lancaster, May 21st:

This certificate, as also "a Petition of the Corporation of the Borough of Lancaster at the request of the Inhabitants," praying for the removal of the Convention prisoners from Lancaster, was forwarded (July 14th) to President Reed. Another letter, favoring the removal of the prisoners, was addressed to the President by the county lieutenant on the 17th. On the 20th, in Council, "A letter from Col. Adam Hubley, Lieutenant of the County of Lancaster, dated the seventeenth instant was read, and thereupon Ordered. That the Lieutenant of the county of Lancaster do call one hundred and twenty militia for the purpose of guarding prisoners to Easton and Philadelphia. The militia which may be sent to Easton to continue there on duty until relieved by the militia of the county of Northampton, and on their return to Lancaster to compleat their tour of duty as guards at Lancaster. The militia sent to Philadelphia, on their return to Lancaster, also to compleat their tour of duty there as guards."
