THREE MAJORS.
Penn. Militia 1 [Lutz's] Maj. Edward Burd, 17th Continental Reg't 1 Maj. Browne,[255]
22d Continental Reg't 1 [Wyllys's] Maj. Levi Wells.
[Footnote 255: Huntington's regiment appears to have had no major at this date; certainly none was taken prisoner. In the return of prisoners exchanged Dec. 9, 1776, there is this memorandum in regard to Maj. Browne: "Taken on Long Island, not in arms. It is preposed that he be exchanged for Major Wells, of Connecticut."]

Maryland Provincials 2 [Smallwood's] Capt. Daniel Bowie.[258]
[Footnote 256: There is a discrepancy here. The English give four Captains, while Huntington's return gives six. So also in Lieutenants and Ensigns.]
[Footnote 257: This name does not appear on any roll, but no doubt Johnston was the Captain intended, no other having been taken prisoner.]
[Footnote 258: Bowie was the only Maryland Captain taken, the rest being accounted for. Possibly one of the Lieutenants--six having been taken instead of five, as the English report--was rated by mistake as a Captain.]

See Rolls in _Force_, Returns of Col. Haller's regiment.]
[Footnote 260: Lieuts. Van Wagenen and Gilliland did not belong to Lasher's battalion, but were taken with Duns...o...b.. Troup, and Hoogland, and probably rated with them.]
[Footnote 261: In Onderdonk's Revolutionary Incidents it is stated that Coe was a Lieutenant of the troopers, and was taken the day after the battle. The other Lieutenant was taken at the time of Gen.
Woodhull's capture, but his name does not appear.]
[Footnote 262: Callender is doubtless meant. He was rated as a Lieutenant afterwards, and was confined in officers' quarters.]
