General Notes
- Elijah is vaguely called Captain. He was a resident of Salisbury, Massachusetts and was described as being 5' 7". He served five months in 1780 with Captain Frothingham's artillery. Some Elijah, probably he, enlisted on July 14, 1780, under Lieutenant Piper for the defence of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In enlistment he is given of Strafford County, quite likely an error.
