command.pt of the continental regiment Of M :
litia of that state, in the sd year Of his age.
AS soldier, this gentleman was early charac

a member Of the volunteer company raised

volution; and although not in regular service,
he was at different periods during the war
distinguished amongst the defenders Of his
country, as an officer of militia. and particulare
,ly during The invasion of Virginia by Lord
Cornw;llis. AS citizen he was enterprizing,
hberak and indefatisa able, and Was consequent

TO these traits Of character it may be added
with confidence by one who knew his worth,
