Shaw > Captain Allan McLane > For what it's worth, Captain Herd is spelled (James) Heard in reality (he is a fourth level Great Uncle of mine.) From Woodbridge, New Jersey he was a son of Brig.Gen. Nathaniel Heard who was one of two Brigadiers reporting to Major Gen. Philemon Dickenson commanding the New Jersey Militia. General Heard, among other deeds, suppressed the Tories in Long Island and Staten Island areas around New York, and also arrested Benjamin Franklin's illegitimate son who was serving as Governor of New Jersey and transported him under arrest out of state. Captain James was wounded during the War and was greatly affected by the same after war's end. It was a common misspelling of Heard as Herd or Hurd in those days. Thanks, Dick in Las Vegas
