Note 9 — ANTHONY WALTON WHITE, BRIGADIER IN THE CONTINENTAL ARMY

Mrs. Lamb, in her “History of the City of New-York,” gives an account of the grand procession three days before the adoption of the Federal Constitution by New York, July 23, 1788 (the State Convention did not adopt it till July 26): “Mounted on a fine gray horse, elegantly caparisoned, and led by two negroes in oriental costume, Anthony Walton White bore the arms of the United States in sculpture, preceding the Society of the Cincinnati, in full uniform.”
