correction of Asa Adgate biography
A letter from (Col.) Rufus Norton of Guilford, CT to Lieut. Asa Adgate of Peru, NY dated 9/20/1796 has been accepted by a historian for the House of Representatives as proof that Asa Adgate was a lieutenant, NY militia for the period 1796-1799, rather than 1798 to 1799, as previously stated in the House of Representatives archives. The correction, made online 2/17/2021, can be found at history.house.gov and should be made in Wikipedia, under Asa Adgate.

The original letter can be found in the Loren M. Knowles Family Papers at The Newberry Library in Chicago, IL and be seen online (along with a transcription thereof) at ''https://mms.newberry.org/xml/xml_files/Knowles.xml.
