Stephen Moylan, born in Ireland in 1734, received a good education in his native land, resided for a time in England, and then coming to America, travelled extensively, and finally became a merchant in Philadelphia. He was among the first to hasten to the camp at Cambridge in 1775, and was at once placed in the Commissariat Department. His face and manners attracting Washington, he was selected March 5, 1776, to be aide-de-camp, and on the 5th of June following, on recommendation of the commander-in-chief, he was made quartermaster-general. Finding himself unable to discharge his duties satisfactorily, he soon after resigned to enter the ranks as a volunteer. In 1777 he commanded a company of dragoons, was in the action at Germantown, and wintered with the army at Valley Forge in 1777 and 1778. With Wayne, Moylan joined the expedition to Bull’s Ferry in 1780, and was with Greene in the South in 1781. He served to the close of the war, being made brigadier-general by brevet the 3d of November, 1783. After the disbanding of the army, he resumed business in Philadelphia, where he died on the 11th of April, 1811, holding for several years prior to his decease the office of United States commissioner of loans. SAMUEL ELBERT. Samuel Elbert, born in Prince William parish, South Carolina, in 1743, was left an orphan at an early age, and going to Savannah, engaged in commercial pursuits. In June, 1774, he was elected captain of a company of grenadiers, and later was a member of the local Committee of Safety. In February, 1776, he entered the Continental army as lieutenant-colonel of Lachlan McIntosh’s brigade, and was promoted to colonel during the ensuing September. In May of the year following, he was intrusted with the command of an expedition against the British in East Florida, and captured Fort Oglethorpe in that State in April of 1778. Ordered to Georgia, he behaved with great gallantry when an attack was made on Savannah by Col. Archibald Campbell in December of the same year. In 1779, after distinguishing himself at Brier Creek, he was taken prisoner, and when exchanged joined the army under Washington, and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. On the 3d of November, 1783, Congress brevetted him brigadier-general, and in 1785 he was elected Governor of Georgia. In further acknowledgment of his services in her behalf, that State subsequently appointed him major-general of her militia, and named a county in his honor. He died in Savannah on the 2d of November, 1788. CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY.
