  Notes	There seems to be a misrepresentation of the rank and military status of Col. John Hibbard. The reference to "Colonel" could possibly be a nickname rather than an actual military rank or title. Regardless, there is no proof on any military files, records or muster roles of John Hibbard actually being a Colonel. While living in New York in 1814, the local militia asked him to help protect a fort for a brief period of time. He either considered that military service and proclaimed that he was a Colonel or else may have simply been referred to as "Colonel John Hibbard" as a nickname. Although his grave marker refers to his name as being "Col. John Hibbard" there are numerous documents that contain information that support the belief that he was not actually a Colonel since the military denied his pension claims for lack of documentation that he actually served in the military.
