When fighting in the American Revolutionary War began, Henry Dearborn organized and led a local militia troop of 60 men to Boston where he fought at Battle of Bunker Hill as a captain in Colonel John Stark’s First New Hampshire Regiment. He then volunteered to serve under Benedict Arnold during the ill-fated American expedition to Quebec. In 1801, President Thomas Jefferson appointed him Secretary of War, a post he held for eight years until March 7, 1809. In 1812, when he was appointed senior major general in the United States Army in command of the northeast sector from the Niagara River to the New England coast. This particular letter appointed Erastus Granger as Indian Agent to the Six Nations of Indians (comprising the Mohawks, Onondagas, Oneidas, Senecas, Cayugas and Tuscaroras) in New Amsterdam (later to be renamed Buffalo), New York. Henry Dearborn signed the document while he was Secretary of War serving Thomas Jefferson, who was executing an order originally given by George Washington: "An Agent shall soon be appointed to reside in some place convenient to the Senekas and six Nations. He will represent the United States. Apply to him on all occasions." -President George Washington, December 29, 1790, in his reply to Seneca Chief Ki-On-Awog-Ky (Known as "Cornplanter") shown at the lower right.
