Estimate; $4,000 - 6,000. Elijah Reed (1780-1851) was born in Stamford, Connecticut. In 1804, he married Hannah Seely (1782-1855), with whom he had at least nine children between 1806 and 1826. During the War of 1812, he served as captain of a company in the 34th Regiment to defend the coast against the incursions of the British. He served as a deacon in the Congregational Church of Darien. He died in Norwalk, Connecticut.nnConnecticut generally disapproved of the War of 1812. Although the state raised more than 10,000 militiamen, it forbade them from leaving the state, and only about 3,000 served for a significant length of time. Connecticut contributed only about 320 men to the Regular Army. The state legislature did spend some money on internal defenses, including funds for 3,000 muskets, eight cannon, powder, and bullets. During the war, only one militia unit was dispatched for service outside of the state, and the governor soon recalled it. Typical Connecticut militia companies had 30 to 40 men. Their primary duty was to protect the state's coast, particularly harbors, the mouths of rivers, and other key positions. At the end of the war, Connecticut Governor Joseph Cotton Smith praised the militia for "their uniformly spirited and honorable conduct."
