From Jacobus’ Wooster genealogy:305
    “In 1745 he was captain of a militia company that served at Cape Breton. Going to england with a batch of prisoners, he received a commission as captain in the British Regular Army. Having become imbued while abroad with the princliples of Freemasonry, in 1750 he organized the first lodge of Freemasons in Connecticut. In 1756 he served as colonel of the Second Connecticut Regiment in the expedition agains crown Point, in 1757 as deputy to the Assembly, and from 1758 to 1760 with the militia again. Thereafter he occupied himself with mercantile pursuits, and was appointed collector of customs for the port of New Haven.
    “At the outbreak of the War of the Revolution he was commissioned major general of the Connecticut Militia, and in June 1775 ranked third among the eight brigadier generals appointed by the continental Congress. After seeing active service in the campaign against Canada, eh resigned his federal commission and was appointed, in Oct. 1776, major general and commander in chief of the Connecticut Militia. At the burning of Danbury he went to the relief of that town with inferior forces, and was mortally wounded on 27 Apr. 1777. He died insolvent, having paid his troops with his personal funda; and the destruction of his papers by the British in July 1779 made it impossible for his family to recover the sums which he had advanced.”
