Notes
He was a Captain or Conductor of Teams for some 4 years, to late in 1781. In that year, he was in charge of 12 teams from Lebanon, Conn., that accompanied the French Army to Yorktown and was at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, and remained through the winter. Teams checks out, but first two services do not.
