the War;' his command reciprocating, like that of Captain Hyatt, by deserting, in great numbers, and, thereby, seriously crippling tin- Regiment;' and, also like Captain Hyatt, personally, he was reported as "unfit" for his command.' The similarity of that Company and its Officers and that commanded by Captain Hyatt and its Officers is singularly continued in the fact tiiat the Second Lieutenant who was with Captain Steenrod when the Company was mustered into the Continental Service, was subsequently cashiered,^ assuredly lor conduct which was more than ordinarily bad ; and in the Report, concerning First Lieutenant Titus and Ensign Jones, that " These two are unfit for the service."''

Cai)tain And)rose Horton, who commanded one of the Companies from Westchester-county, in the Campaign of 1775, appears to have returned to the service, probably from another County, in 1776;* but nothing more than a mere mention of his name was made, without the sligluest additional information. Neither Captain Daniel Mills nor Captain Jonathan Piatt, each of wliom had commanded a Company from Westchester-county, in the Campaign of 1775, appears to have returned to the service, in 1776.

It will be seen, from the respective records of the fraudulent practices of Ezekiel Hyatt and Cornelius Steenrod and their respective associates, in their enlistment of men for their respective commands; from the records of the questionable manner in which their respective Companies were carried, without their consent, into a line of the Continental Service for which they were not enlisted ; from the records of the personal unfitness for their respective offices of the several Officers of both these Companies ; and from those of the consequent disaffection and desertions of the enlisted men, that Westchester-county's quota, in the Continental levy of 1776, was of questionable usefulness to the country or the cause in which it was nominally engaged.
