Hi senior rank was LT (that's what he got his bounty land for- in a special disposition from the state of NY since he was actually a Nova Scotia refugee). But he left the service and then came back- His last rank was quartermaster sergeant
His service record has him marked as a privateer (since he did that for many months . He did a lot of boat and barges work in the last years of the war.- even as an acting Captain (didn't get the rank).
His wife Most likely he married where he was stationed in 1778-1779
His daughter - Florence- is actually Florina (per her gravestone and her daughter Dorcas' death record- town of Bloomfield, Fillmore County, MN). His service record- is Bill (not Bills)- though apparently he may have changed it to Bills very late in life.
