    Notes 
    • "He was too young to take any part in the Revolutionary struggle, being only about eight years old when that war began. so his title of captain was probably acquired in the militia service of the state, after the cessation of hostilities, when patriotic men had ample opportunities of rendering valuable services to their country."
