Anselm Tupper
Anselm Tupper (1763–1808) was an officer of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, a pioneer to the Ohio Country, and one of the founders of Marietta, Ohio, the first permanent American settlement in the Northwest Territory. The eldest son of Benjamin Tupper, Anselm enlisted in the fight for independence during 1775, while only eleven years old, achieving the rank of lieutenant before his seventeenth birthday. After the war, he was a pioneer and surveyor in the Northwest Territory, and became major of the militia at Marietta during the Northwest Indian War. Tupper was the first school teacher at Marietta, and was a classical scholar and poet. He was unmarried, and was known as a favorite in society.
==Early life and the American Revolutionary War==
Anselm Tupper was born in Easton, Massachusetts on October 11, 1763〔Chaffin, ''History of the Town of Easton, Massachusetts'', 255.〕 and grew up to the age of eleven in Chesterfield in western Massachusetts. His childhood was brief, as Anselm Tupper enlisted in May 1775 at the young age of eleven, shortly after the Battles of Lexington and Concord,〔''Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors, Vol 16'', 143-44.〕〔Chaffin, ''History of the Town of Easton, Massachusetts'', 255-56.〕 likely being one of the younger soldiers in the fight for independence. Anselm joined Captain Robert West's Chesterfield company, assigned to Colonel John Fellows' regiment (17th Massachusetts Bay Provincial Regiment), in which Anselm's father, Benjamin Tupper, was already major.〔 As described in Chaffin's ''History of the Town of Easton, Massachusetts'',
It is interesting to think of this Revolutionary soldier, ''not yet twelve years old'', engaging in all the toil, hardship, and peril of war, and never flinching until his country's independence was achieved.〔Chaffin, ''History of the Town of Easton, Massachusetts'', 256.〕
During 1779, Anselm Tupper was appointed adjutant〔Cutler, ''The Founders of Ohio'', 26.〕 of Colonel Ebenezer Sproat's (aka Sprout) regiment. Anselm was appointed ensign during 1779〔 or 1780.〔 He was subsequently promoted to the rank of lieutenant and adjutant in the 11th Massachusetts Regiment on September 1, 1780,〔〔Heitman, ''Officers of the Continental Army'', 551.〕 before his seventeenth birthday. He then served in the 10th Massachusetts Regiment during 1781 and 1782, the 6th Massachusetts Regiment during the first half of 1783, and the 2nd Massachusetts Regiment from June until November 3, 1783.〔
