DE BOIS & SONS KEY WIND SILVER QUARTER HOUR REPEATER POCKET WATCH,

This watch belonged to Major Nicholas Quackenbush (1734-1813), the Continental Army's Asst. Quartermaster General (1775-1783) and a member of a powerful Dutch family in the Hudson River Valley. He sided with the Revolutionary cause in the 1760's through 1780's, serving as Assistant Deputy Quartermaster to the Continental forces in Albany with rank as Major. A major trade and transport route linking British-held New York City with the Iroquois country, Canada, and to the settlements along the Mohawk River, the Hudson was a strategic keystone for both Patriot and Redcoat, and it was the focus of particularly bitter contestation. From the fight for Fort Ticonderoga and invasion of Quebec at the start of the armed struggle, to Benedict Arnold’s West Point plot, to the final evacuation of British troops in 1783, control of the Hudson was viewed as critical to military success.
