Who Was General Himrod?-- Part 2: Militia Man

From Find-a-Grave.

WILLIAM HIMROD

Born 1766 in New Jersey.  Died Feb. 8, 1813, in Seneca County, New York.

Tanner by trade.  Was a captain in the militia in 1797, a major by 1801 and major general in the War of 1812.

He died from fever contracted in the service and was buried with military honor in Ovid.

His body was later removed to Grove Cemetery in Trumansburg.

So, there is some confusion here.
