Note—The word “dismissed,” as it occurs under “Remarks” on page 3 hereof, is not used in a derogatory sense. It signifies merely that owing to the reduction and consolidation of the regiments of the North Carolina Continental Line, in compliance with the Act of Congress of May 29, 1778, the surplus officers were discharged.
