  Notes	"Robert enlisted in Capt. Ely's Comany Mar.17, 1777, and served three years; he then re-enlisted, and deserted July 13, 1782. Later he joined General LaFayette's command somewhere up the Hudson River, and served until the close of the war. To desert was not at that time considered unusual, however, and the men left, joined their companies, or more often returned and planted their farms when they pleased. His sword is now in the possession of his great, great grandson - John M. Otis" (Otis, Otis Family in America) [3]
