* There is some reason for supposing that Ambrose Horton was imported from Southold, in Suffolk-county, to take the command of a Company in this Regiment ; but, wherever he may have originated, he enlisted "fifty-six able bodyed men" for the Company; and reported them to the Provincial Congress, from the White Plains, on the twentysixth of July, 1775, (Historical Manuscripts, etc.: Military Returns, xxvi., 57.) Unfortunately, he did not return the names of those enlisted men.
