Second in command at the Battle of Lime Hill April 14, 1782. He killed the Indian who shot Mrs. Franklin and rescued three of her four stolen children. He was in the engagement at Trenton December 25, 1776 and was presented with a sword by General George Washington for bravery. He broke from the Indians at the Bloody Rock, Wyoming Massace, and swam the Susquehanna River with a bullet in his shoulder and escaped to Wilkes-Barre.

Maps this old were drawn largely by eye, so places on them can sit miles from where they really are. The pin is ours and marks the marker's location today.
