RICHARD WITHAM STOCKTON (Major)
He joined the New Jersey Volunteers in August, 1776, and was commissioned Major of the 6th Battalion on December 3, following. When in command of a post at Lawrence Island on February 18, 1777, he was taken prisoner by Colonel Nielson's party and
marched to Philadelphia with a Captain, four subalterns and 100 men, captured at the same time, and was kept a prisoner there and at Carlisle, Pa., for nearly 18 months. (A.O. 13:83).
Major Stockton was tried by court-martial on August 15, 1789, as a party to the murder of Derrick Ammerman, of Long Island, and was found guilty and sentenced to death, but the sentence was remitted. His name is on the list of Seconded officers in
1783. (Ind.: 5605).
This Loyalist, called "Double Dick" by his enemies, was the son of Samuel and Rachel (Stout) Stockton, of Princeton. He was skilled as a guide and was named the "Famous Land Pilot." His wife, Mary, was a daughter of Joseph Hatfield, of
Elizabethtown. His daughter, Mary Ann, married Captain John Barbarie (q. v.), he also had a son, Charles Witham, who saw service on the British side.
In regards to his capture by the Patriots, Biographical Sketches of Loyalists of the American Revolution (page 335), states that
General Putnam sent him to Philadelphia in irons, which [General] Washington disapproved. The Major, he said, "has, I believe, been very active and michievious; but we took him in arms, as an officer of the enemy, and by the rules of war we are
obliged to treat him as such, and not as a felon."
