The Express Riders of 1776-1851.

The express rider was a important part of the army they took intelligence reports to other commanders and to Congress and to the Congressmen and Senators. One can see way George Washington was concern when Congress was thinking of doing away with the express man and only use the Post, the express man had to be of good character not only because of the intelligence they carried but the vast amount of money they carried as will as much as $150,000 dollars at a time. The express rider was accountable for all that he carried until it reached the hands it was intended for so if it was lost or stolen he had to make it good.

Note. Although there is no family info here it was important to place these names here to help family's find other family members and to let them know what they were doing at this time in History. If you would like to add any information to the names or have any questions you may at the following address dsegelquist1@cox.net



The Express Rider.

In 1779 there was a act in Congress to the discharging of all express riders in the pay of the United States, as they were in constant pay at the public expence and would be a grate measur to save the expence to the private expresses. George Washington would not admit to a general discharge of the express rider till he got directions from Congress. Washington felt that circumstances frequently arise that demmand an instant communication. He explained that to place intirely out of the tract of the post, nor dose it appear to him that it would answer to rely on getting of occasional expresses at the moment they are wanted, both on account of the delay that would often happen and the risk of employing improper characters. He went on, If one half of the present expresses were dismissed I should think this would be carring the experiment as far as would be safe and whether to extended any farther. As a result of Washington concers, On January 14, 1779 Congress made this statement. "That the Commander in Chief be authorised to order so many expresses to be retained in the public service as he may judge necessary for the immediate purposes of the army," and subsequently left the supervision of the express service to Washington and the Board of War. Nevertheless, its intervention at this time resulted in the striking reduction in the number of expresses from 112 to 17, and the unauthorized use of them by staff and civilian officers significantly diminished."

His present chief errand is, to conduct a large Sum of Money from the Treasury & Board of War for the use of the Commissary of Purchases in the Northern department & therefore he ought, if he is intitled to receive any supplies here, to have obtained the necessary Sum from one of those Offices, but at this time of day both are shut up. Should I refuse to enable him immediately, another day will be passed before he can proceed. I have therefore judged it best to grant him the Sum he required. I take the liberty of requesting you to enquire & inform me if Mr. Dodd is not particularly in the service of the State of Massachusetts & if he is, to give an intimation of this advance to the proper Board or Office in order that his Account may be properly charged & a loss avoided which may otherwise attend this irregular payment either to the public or more properly to myself whose Wages will not bear it."
