The situation in Rhode Island during a portion of this period was most critical. The British forces held possession of Newport, and the lower bay was patrolled by Ih'itish war vessels. ?\Iarauding parties from the enemy's camp frequently descended upon the bay side towns, and a state of 2 38 ESEK HOPKINS warfare existed which kept the people con- stantly on the alert, and the militia of the state continually under arms. Soon after Hopkins took his seat in the legis- lature that body appointed h... i m a member of the Council of War, and this position he held during the entire period of its service. During the years of the war he was frequently em- ployed on various commit- tees having the charge of military affairs. Particu- larly was he active on committees appointed to adjust the accounts of the several regiments of the state, and as late as 1791, some years after his ser- vices in the legislature had terminated, he was appointed, with Benjamin Bourn, to examine and ad- just the claim of General ESEK HOPKINS SVVORU.
