In the spring of 1790 Sam Wilson, then twenty-two years of age, with his older brother walked from Mason, New Hampshire, to Troy Qthen Vanderheyden, a settle- ment hardly establishedj. In the years following, his activities finally included inspection of supplies go- ing from Troy to the United States Army during the War of 1812. Some wag made a connection be- tween the U. S. stamped on the casks and Uncle Sam Wilson. Trojans who later enlisted carried the designation with them, the custom of referring to U. S. as t'Uncle Samv consequently be- coming widespread. Uncle Sam Wil- son died in Troy, June 30, 1854. llves: P3 sg: . 1:2 E 'f af , ,f H Z f- - .Y X 1' 1 1 rf., A' 'S it ff .1 :TQ si 4- L, yo.. Ng!-Idghiwl K xv., K 'xi i' 'W ia 1 1.-. 4 ma.
