special Act of the New York Legislature on 18 December 1776. He eventually became a lieutenant in Colonel
Fisher's regiment and fought in the Battle of Oriskany where, on 6 August 1777,

relieve Fort Stanwix, about ten miles away.

battle, which raged for hours in a strong thunder storm and proved to be one of
