13 Mason F. Alden is employed to perform a responsible duty and is called Ensign. However, his name does not appear among the Ensigns of the Twenty-fourth regiment, at that time but recently elected. Perhaps it was a courtesy title derived from some previous service.

14 Lazarus Stewart was also employed to perform a responsible duty and is called Captain. He served during the French and Indian War; was in Braddock’s defeat; was Captain of the “Paxtang Boys,” but was not at this time a Captain in the Twenty-fourth regiment. He was a cousin of Lazarus Stewart, Jr., a Lieutenant in the Hanover company.
