| biography:
| American soldier and conspirator, born in Calvert Co, Maryland, USA. He served in the American Revolution under Benedict Arnold and Horatio Gates and joined the Conway Cabal, the group that schemed against Washington. Seemingly a conspirator by nature, he intrigued with Aaron Burr to establish a separate nation on the W frontier, and when the plot was discovered he had the effrontery to order Burr's arrest. Leader of the failed expedition to Montreal (1813), he left the army in 1815. |
