    3. Hi! I've had copies of the pages from this book for awhile now, but for some reason I had a thought this morning that hadn't occurred to me before. In the following excerpt: NY in the Revolution as Colony & State, Vol. II, the Military and Naval Service; pg 50 Col. John Lasher was Commissioner of Military Stores. Peter T. Curtenius, Anthony Griffiths, Hugh Hughes, John Lasher and Richard NORWOOD were Commissaries; James Weeks was Assistant Commissary; Richard NORWOOD, Richard Ten Eyck and Philip Van Rensselaer were Storekeepers; James Gillikins was Director of Ordnance. I just assumed that the Richard Norwood listed here twice was the same person. But after re-reading some of the other pages with Richard's name on them, it seems he's sometimes called Commissary and other times called Storekeeper. Does anyone else read this like it could actually be two different people? Not that I'm sure it matters all that much. I haven't been able to figure out whatever happened after the war to Richard Norwood in the years I've been researching anyway. :P Irene
