John Cambridge of Rhode Island enlisted in Col. Daniel Hitchcock's 2d Rhode Island Regiment in April 1775 and transferred to Hitchcock's newly formed 11th Continental Regiment in January 1776. In September 1777, Cambridge enlisted for three years as a sergeant in Sherburne's Additional Continental Regiment. During his service, Cambridge participated in the Canadian expedition of 1775–76, the Battle of White Plains in October 1776, the Rhode Island expedition of 1778, and the attack on Staten Island in January 1780. He left the army in March 1780 due to family circumstances but before his service was complete so he hired Samuel Saben to stand in his stead until his term was complete. He was placed on the pension roll in 1818.
It is said that John Cambridge's father made the first broadcloth produced in America.
Near Lempster NH by the Cold River, there is a spot known as Cambridge Hollow, albeit more recently referred to as Keyes. The name of Cambridge Hollow came from one John Cambridge, who, with his son, operated a cloth dressing and fulfilling mill here in the first quarter of the last century, doing quite an extensive business for the times.
