WHEREAS Lemuel Kingsbury, captain of a company of cavalry in the town of Cazenovia, in the county of Chenango, and Ebenezer Lyon, lieutenant of the same company, have, through Stephen Van Rensselaer, esquire, major general of the division of cavalry of this State, transmitted to his Excellency the Governor their resignations of the offices so by them respectively held in the militia; AND WHEREAS, the said Stephen Van Rensselaer, by his letter dated the 16th of September, 1802, transmitting the said resignations, has expressed his opinion thereon, that it would be proper that the same should be accepted, although by an act entitled "An act to amend the act entitled 'Act (An-JCB) act to organize the militia of this State,'" passed April 5, 1802, it is enacted that all resignations hereafter to be made should be approved of by the commandants of regiments, and the brigadier general of the regiment or brigade to which the officer resigning belongs: And it appearing to the Council manifest that the said Lemuel Kingsbury and Ebenezer Lyon have availed themselves of the permission given them by law of assigning their reasons for their resignations, not only to animadvert on the proceedings of his Excellency the Governor, on disaffirming the sentence of a court martial held for the trial of Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Hovey, but also to censure and condemn the conduct of the Council of Appointment in the removal of Brigadier General (Jonathan) Forman; which procedure on the part of the said officers this Council conceive not only to be highly indecorous and reprehensible but evidential of a spirit of combination with Lieutenant Colonels (John) Lincklaen and (Samuel) Clemens, and other officers of their respective regiments; who have heretofore assigned similar reasons for their resignations, calculated to subvert the established discipline of the militia and to produce among them insubordination; therefore,

RESOLVED, that the resignations of the said Lemuel Kingsbury and Ebenezer Lyon be not accepted; but inasmuch as the said Lemuel Kingsbury and Ebenezer Lyon appear to the Council to be unworthy to hold any longer their said offices, it is further Resolved, that they be and hereby are superseded from holding the said offices, and that supersede as issue accordingly.

And whereas the Council at their last meeting postponed the consideration of the resignation of Samuel Frizel, adjutant; Hendrick De Clercq, quartermaster; Peter Tyler, John G. Moyer, and Joseph Yean, captains; Ira Alvord, Elisha Farnham, Elihu Severance, and David Hutchinson, lieutenants; David Smith, Richard Button, Selathiel Jackson, and Jedediah T. Turner, ensigns; and James Moore, a surgeon in the regiment of militia in the county of Chenango, whereof John Lincklaen was lately lieutenant colonel commandant; and also of the resignations of George Brown, adjutant; John Viles, Benjamin Pier, Nat. Collins, George Anderson, Joseph Collins, Jacob Kennedy, Joseph Morse, and Samuel White, captains; William McClanather (McClanathan/McClenathan-JCB), Alpheus Hall, Elihu Bosworth, Thaddeus Muzzy, Rufus Eldrid, and Stephen F. Blackston, lieutenants; and Asa Pease, junior, Thomas R. Tracy, Meletiah Hatch, and Windsor Coman, ensigns, in the regiment in said county whereof Samuel Clemens was lately lieutenants colonel commandant: AND WHEREAS none of the aforesaid officers have availed themselves of the advantage allowed them by the indulgence of the Council of acknowledging their misconduct and retracting their error except Nat. Collins, George Anderson, and Joseph Collins, three of the said captains; Alpheus Hall, one of the said lieutenants; and Thomas R. Tracy and Richard Button, two of the said ensigns, who have made satisfactory apologies to the Commander-in-chief; therefore

RESOLVED, that the said Samuel Frizel, Hendrick De Clercq, James Moore, David Smith, Selathiel Jackson, Jedediah T. Turner, Peter Tyler, John G. Moyer, Joseph Yean, Ira Alvoard (Alvord-JCB), Elisha Farnham, Elihu Severance, David Hutchinson, George Brown, John Viles, Benjamin Pier, Jacob Kennedy, Joseph Morse, Samuel White, William McClanather, Elihu Bosworth, Thaddeus Muzzy, Rufus Eldrid, Stephen F.
