Organization of the Commissariat He wrote to Jeremiah Wadsworth that he was determined to have his own terms or nothing, though at that point he did not know whether he would be asked to remain.

James Wadsworth by Wayne Mahood Approaching seventy-five and increasingly aware of his mortality, in 1843, James Wadsworth reminded his older son, James Samuel, that "uneducated man always has been and always will be a puppet in the hands of designing demagogues."

Jeremiah was the same generation and a cousin of General James Wadsworth and John Noyes Wadsworth, the father of Geneseo's James. As Wadsworth had written governor William H. Seward in 1838, "The sons of the rich man, and of the poor man ought to be educated" alike. www.crookedlakereview.com /articles/101_135/129fall2003/129mahood.html   (3713 words)

Connecticut's Heritage Gateway Aided by efficient commissaries, such as Jeremiah Wadsworth (1743-1804), Henry Champion (1723/24-1797), and Elijah Hubbard (1745-1808), Connecticut provided large quantities of foodstuffs, particularly beef and pork. Connecticut's pre-eminent position as a supply state was exemplified by General Washington's frequent appeals to Governor Trumbull (1710-1785) for help with provisions.
