[Report on the fitness for military service in the French and Indian War of Elijah Gifford].
18 April 1758
Moore, Joshua, fl. 1758
"I have considered the case of Elijah Gifford and finding him deaf of one of his ears (as he saith) which (in my opinion) may render him an unfit person to serve his King or Country in this present expedition; becaus his hearing being depraved."
