1820 dated war claim for (Captain) Nicholas Van Rensselaer of New York, 16 x 9 in., framed 22 x 15 in. overall 

Provenance: Private Charleston Collection

Note: Nicholas Van Rensselaer was with General Richard Montgomery during the Siege of Fort St. Jean when Montgomery became the first General to die in combat on Dec 31, 1775. Van Rensselaer later found himself under the command of General Philip Schuyler when Fort Ticonderoga fell to the British, which led to General Horatio Gates assuming command of the Northern department.

Nicholas Van Rensselaer was also engaged in the Battle of Saratoga where he was dispatched by General Gates to convey that General John Burgoyne had surrendered. As a pallbearer, Nicholas assisted in carrying the remains of General Montgomery in funeral procession through Albany in July of 1818.
