Brigadier General Enoch Poor
Born in Andover, Mass., June 21, 1736, Enoch Poor

chant and ship-builder. In 1775 he was appointed
colonel in the 3rd New Hampshire Regiment.
Poor was at Stillwater, Saratoga, and Monmouth,
and served under Washington, Sullivan, and
Lafayette. Congress commissioned him Brigadier
General in 1777. Mortally wounded in a duel
