Learned, Ebenezer 1721-1801

Military officer; born in 1721; was a captain in the French and Indian War, and hastened to Cambridge with militia on the day after the affair at Lexington. His health failed, and he wished to retire from the service in 1776, but he was retained; and in the battle of Stillwater he commanded the centre of the American army, with the rank of brigadier-general. His health still declining, he retired from the Army March 24, 1778. He was then with the army at Valley Forge. In 1795 his name was placed on the pension list. He died in Oxford, Mass., April 1, 1801.
