1Nathaniel Cudworth (1745–1826), who was major of Col. Jonathan Brewer’s Massachusetts regiment during 1775, was discharged from Col. Asa Whitcomb’s 6th Continental Regiment on 13 Feb. 1776. GW allowed Cudworth to fill the vacant position as major in Col. William Bond’s 25th Continental Regiment, and Cudworth apparently served to the end of 1776.
