===John Ruddiman, Becoming Men of some Consequence p.? "A great many [came] to see the soldiers march," recorded Elihu Clark in his journal in May 1775. He specifically marked the responses of young folks in his Connecticut town. "Asa Worthington," he tersely noted, "cried a good deal." As a newly minted sergeant, Worthington should have kept a better handle on himself—though Corporal Elihu Clark probably thought he looked better by comparison. "Peggy Foot & Hette Skinner cried some," which struck Clark as a fitting display fo female concern. Those girls cried, but disconcertingly, "Rachel laughed."
