Copy editing and fact checking
Copy editing and fact-checking. Corrected short citation format. Updated citations and external links.

The "Aftermath" section contained information (now deleted) which the source (Hubbard's Forests and Clearings) clearly indicated pertained to the aftermath of the 1777 Siege of Fort Ticonderoga not the Battle of Cobbleskill in 1778. The account of Brant saving Lieutenant Maynard due to his masonic connection has been revised based on Denslow's 10000 Famous Freemasons and Parr and Swope's Framingham Legends.

The lead referred to deaths among the militia, however, most of dead were regulars from the 7th Massachusetts. The number of Brant's casualties has been questioned by Canadian historian Gavin Watt as it is based on a "highly suspect" primary source.

The citation for Hart's Commonwealth History of Massachusetts has been deleted and replaced. There is no mention of the Battle of Cobelskill in this work. Griffin&#39;s Sword (talk) 21:51, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
