^ John Thomas, Junior, iis the reader knows, was one of thelea<ling men of his party, in Westchester-county ; a member of its County Committee and ot the Provincial Congress ; and a brother of the Colonel of the Reg iment.

We prefer to believe that this Quartermaster's place was given to that " John Thomas Minor," the second sou of John Thomas, Junior, who had been already elected to the conunaud of the Company in Harrison's Precinct, at a second Election, after Henry Dusenberry had been elected and accepted the Office, a few weeks previously.
