Officers

• Captain, Major, Lieutenant-Colonel, Colonel and Acting Brigadier General Marinus Willett was a gallant officer. He held many commands and his promotions were rapid. In 1775-6 he was a Captain in Colonel Alexander McDougal's Regiment, 1st N. Y. Line. On April 27, 1776, the Provincial Congress recommended him to the Continental Congress for Major of the same Regiment. In November of the same year he was recommended for Lieutenant- Colonel of the 3d Line, and in July, 1780, he was made Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of the 5th Regiment of the Line. In 1781, as Lieutenant-Colonel, he commanded a Regiment of Levies, and in 1782 was made full Colonel of still another Regiment of Levies, After the death of General Nicholas Herkimer, Colonel Willett commanded the Tryon Co. Militia as Acting Brigadier General, and in the battles of Johnstown and Caughnawaga defeated the enemy most signally.
