In 1769 he was married, and became a farmer and surveyor in Chester county. He was a member of the pro- vincial convention of 1774. assembled to devise a means of .settlement of the difficulties between England and the colonies; and of the Pennsyl- vania convention of the same year; was a dele- gate to the colonial legislature, 1774-75, and a member of the committee of safetv in 1775. On
the outbreak of the Revolutionary war he re>
cruited among his neiglibors a companj' which
was enlarged into the 4th regiment of Pennsyl-
vania troops; was elected its colonel, Jan. 3,
1776, and was assigned to Gen. John Thomas's

1777; joined General Washington's army in New
Jersey; commanded a division at Brandywine
and opposed the passage of the river a^t Chadd's
Ford by the Hessians, and at the close of the day
safely withdrew his troops. He led the attack at
Warren Tavern; was attacked by a superior force
at Paoli, Sept. 20, 1777, and effected a successful
sortie which enabled him practically to hold his
ground, but subjected him to a court of inquiiy,

back before the general retreat was expected.
He went into camp with Washington's army at
Valley Forge, where he made a successful raid
into the British camp, capturing much needed
provisions and supplies. He took part in the
battle of Monmouth under Lee, and after being
ordered to retreat by Lee, Washington assumed

engaged in the cliarge. He commanded a corps
of light infantry organized by Washington in
