James Caldwell, Presbyterian Chaplain in the War for Independence

While doing some more research on the influence of Presbyterianism on the founding of our country I found this little piece from another presbyterian site:

There were many clergy who served as chaplains during the War of Independence. One was James Caldwell (1734-1781), a Presbyterian minister at Elizabeth, New Jersey. At the battle of Springfield, New Jersey, on June 23, 1780, when his company ran out of paper wadding to load bullets for their rifles, Caldwell reportedly dashed into the Springfield Presbyterian Church (established in 1745), scooped up as many Isaac Watts hymnals (left) as he could carry, and distributed them to the troops, shouting "put Watts into them, boys." Caldwell and his wife were both killed before the war ended. The British burned the church and much of the town, but were turned back by the American forces. The Springfield Presbyterian Church was rebuilt in 1791 and continues to be active today.
