| This colonelcy was an honorary title which he held by custom rather than by law. |
| Disappointed, he settled for a colonelcy in the Illinois militia. |
| In 1753 he was given the colonelcy of the 14th foot, and in 1754 he became a major-general. |
| He graduated to the Colonelcy while in the service, and was brevetted as Brigadier General on his return home. |
| In 1830 he was appointed to the colonelcy of the 14th Light Dragoons. |
| But how if the superintendency can't be had without the colonelcy? |
