Taking on this review. Comments to follow. Kges1901 (talk) 22:13, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm guessing the date of birth is a typo since DNB says c. 1767, and he couldn't have joined the army at age 7.
He very well may have been; ensigns could be very young. I'm of the belief ODNB might be a typo, because his obituary says he was 77 when he died
You may want to clarify that the Glorious First of June was a naval battle for readers unfamiliar with the Napoleonic Wars
Done.
during which engagement he was wounded Not sure if 'engagement' is needed here
Removed.
Was Pilkington still a company commander between 1795 and 1799?
Very likely but the sources don't explicitly say
Suggest including St John's and Fraser's positions so that the level of Pilkington's seniority is clear
Their positions don't affect his seniority; he's still a normal captain/major no matter how exciting "his" general is
Is what else he did in the War of 1812 before 1814 known?
No; I assume he served as deputy adjutant-general
Suggest mentioning the Moose Island and Castine were in Maine in the lead, and in the body as well
Done.
Presumably after retirement he returned to his estate?
Presumably.
Checked accessible sources, AGF on the rest. Kges1901 (talk) 23:44, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
