General Notes
- 'When it came time for Washington himself to be ferried, Marbleheaders leaped to command the craft in which he crossed. William Blackler, a captain in Glover's regiment, proudly asserted after the war that he had won this post of honor, having served on several patriot committees with Glover, the thirty-six-year-old mariner had both the background and training to be entrusted with so important a task. Blackler's boast was borne out by John Roads Russell, another Marbleheader and a private in Glover's regiment, who claimed he rowed the boat with the general and captain aboard.'
