RW24 Jellis Jacobse Fonda
Gunstocker; appointed Captain of a company of Associated Exempts (Minute Men) on 27-May-1775, which came to be known as "the Greens" because of the color of their uniforms; in January, 1776, and again in June he went to Johnstown; in the fall of the same year, he marched with his company to Stillwater where they were in camp for some time; from Stillwater they marched to Fort Ann, thence down Wood Creek to Skenesborough as guards for boats; he served with particular distinction in the campaign against Burgoyne and at the Battle of Bemis Heights; he served in many expeditions and on various garrison duties during the succeeding years of the war, being especially zealous in the discharge of his offices; while on guard duty at Schenectady he was spoken of as "attending roll call and giving orders every morning at daybreak, sometimes 2 hours before day." In 1777, when Sir John Johnson, with his Scotch retainers, had fortified themselves in Johnson Hall, Generals Schuyler, Ten Broeck and Herkimer, with a large body of militia, went there to reduce them. When, out of the whole number, General Schuyler selected Captain Fonda, from his known fearlessness of character, to command a forlorn hope of 200 men for the assault, of which his company of minute men formed one-half. the assailing forces were without cannon. But when this brave officer in the lead, under the eye and direction of the noble Schuyler, shouted on his column to the assault, with undaunted dash (for Fonda was in deadly earnest), Sir John immediately lowered his flag and surrendered without firing a gun. Fonda was ever afterwards called, wherever known, one of the most fearless of men; he was actively engaged in the battle of Johnstown in October 1781, and in the pursuit of the enemy, and on this occasion he "so highly distinguished himself that Colonel Willett addressed him a letter of thanks for his services and praising him for his intrepidity."; he was reappointed Captain on June 20, 1778, the commission being signed by Governor Clinton; he was a pensioner under the Act of June 7, 1832

H. He was a mechanic by trade, and twenty-four years of age. Besides the hard service seen in the 115th NY Infantry, he served his country three months in the 1st VT Infantry, early in the war. His father had been in the employ of the government for nearly forty years; a younger brother held the position of sergeant in the regular army, and Raymond himself had been familiar with military operations from his youth up, so that he was a finished and well drilled soldier. Possessed of a brave and resolute will, he was a good soldier. Blest with a kind and loving heart, he won many friends. Pleasant and amiable to both officers and men, he was highly respected. His military career was without a single blot, and he died a true patriot and esteemed by all who knew him. the battle of Chesterfield Heights, Va., was his last battle with the rebels. the regiment was lying behind a bank of earth, firing at the rebels, and Raymond refused to lie down with the rest, but kept walking along the lines while the bloody conflict was progressing, making his person a mark for the enemy's bullets. Suddenly he sang out to the commanding officer, "Major, we are flanked right and left!" And sure enough we were flanked, and many brave men shed their blood before we cut our way out. Among the first to fall was E. Raymond Fonda, and two frightful wounds sent out streams of blood. the soldiers carried his bleeding form from the field, and in due time he reached the city of NY. After many weeks of suffering he died in the arms of his friends.
