Van Rensselaer, Henry Killian
Military officer: born near Albany, N. Y., in 1744; commanded a regiment in the Revolutionary War, and was wounded in the battle of Saratoga.
He was afterwards a general of militia.
In July, 1777, at about the time of the retreat of the American army from Ticonderoga before Burgoyne, he was attacked by a large British force near Fort Anne.
He made stout resistance; but, hearing of the evacuation of Ticonderoga, he fell back towards Fort Edward.
In that encounter he received a bullet in his thigh, which was not extracted until after his death, in Greenbush, N. Y., Sept. 9, 1816.
