3It should be noted that the dates listed in this column do not always agree with those given in Rice to H, October 25, 1799, notes 3, 6, 7.

4The numbers in this column were added by H and indicate what he thought should be the relative rank of captains in the Fourteenth Regiment of Infantry.

At the bottom of this document Thomas Y. How wrote: “Copy to be made & sent to Col Rice 14th regt. Mr. Simeon Draper is placed 7th on the list.”
