Rejected -- not having served 9 ms: on the cont'l est. - Hally informed verbally 9th June 1821.
He might perhaps have been a recruiting Serg't but it is not probable that he ever served as a soldier.  His statement is erroneous in many respects.  He stated that he belonged to Wayne's reg't when he was wounded at Bunker's Hill!!!
