Why is Henry Dearborn mentioned here?

[edit]

Hi - The line in para. 2 about Henry Dearborn is factually incorrect. Dearborn did serve as a captain in the 1st NH Regiment in 1776, however Cilley was not in command. Begining in 1777 Dearborn was appointed as the major for the newly recruited 3rd NH Regiment and was promoted after the Saratoga Battles to lieutenant colonel. As a staff officer in 1776, Cilley represented John Stark's command. I Recommend removing this sentence as even if it were true, it would contribute nothing useful about Cilley. Are there any dissenters?
