by James Peale.  General Hugh Mercer (c. 1725-1777), born in Aberdeen, died of wounds received at the battle of Princeton, also served with distinction in the Braddock and Forbes campaigns in western Pennsylvania.  His life was a strenuous one, full of exacting and unselfish work for others, and as Judge Goolrick says in his “Life of Mercer,” he “is entitled to the gratitude of all liberty-loving America.”  Mercer county, New Jersey, was named in his honor.  John Armstrong (1725-95), born in the North of Ireland of Scottish ancestry, served in the French and Indian War (1755-56), was Brigadier-General in the Continental Army (1776-77), and Delegate to the Continental Congress (1778-80, 1787-88).  Colonel James Livingston (1747-1832), by his timely shot drove the British warship “Vulture” from her anchorage in the North River “thus securing the capture of Andre, effecting the discomfiture of Arnold’s treason, and assuring the safety of West Point, the key of the Revolution.”  James Chrystie (1750-1807), born in or near Edinburgh, joined the Revolutionary Army and served with high reputation till the end of the war.  On the discovery of Arnold’s plot at West Point he was entrusted with a delicate mission by Washington, which he executed successfully.  His son, Lieutenant-Colonel James Chrystie, earned a name for himself at the Battle of Queenstown in the war of 1812.  William Davidson (1746-1781), born in Pennsylvania of Scottish parentage or descent, was a Brigadier-General in the Revolutionary Army, and was killed in the fight at the ford over Catawba River, January 31, 1781.  Congress voted five hundred dollars for a monument to his memory, and Davidson College, North Carolina, is named in his honor.  General William Macpherson (1756-1813), born in Philadelphia of Scottish parents, was in the British service at the time of the Revolution, but resigned and joined the colonies, and served faithfully under Washington.  Major Robert Kirkwood was killed in the battle against the Miami Indians in 1792, the thirty-third time he had risked his life for his country.  Lachlan McIntosh (1727-1806), of the family of MacIntosh of Borlum, was born in Badenoch, Inverness-shire, and came to America with his father who settled in Georgia.  He volunteered his services on the outbreak of the Revolution, becoming General in 1776.  He was second in command at Savannah and took part in the defence of Charleston.  McIntosh county, Georgia, is named after his family, “whose members have illustrated the state, in both field and forum, since the days of Oglethorpe.”  William Moultrie (1731-1805), born in England or South Carolina, son of the Scottish physician, Dr. John Moultrie, ancestor of the Moultries of South Carolina, repulsed the attack on Sullivan’s Island in 1776 and defended Charleston in 1779.  Fort Moultrie was named in his honor.  Andrew Pickens (1739-1817), of Scottish parentage, was noted as a partizan commander in South Carolina (1779-81), served with distinction at Cowpens in 1781,
