A couple notes from my rewrite - the background note source I added from the Fenno papers archive had him with Gen. Ward in 1775. The article previously read 1776 - I assume it may have been a typo, but I phrased it as "during part of the Revolutionary war" to hedge. Feel free to put in the actual 1775 date(s) if it can be confirmed and seem desirable. The same source also had his wife's maiden name as "Curtis" and I did replace the previous "Curtiss" as a likely typo; again, if someone has access to sources this could be double-checked. - David Oberst09:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
