    'Col. CHARLES, b. in Litchfield, March 3, 1758. ... In common with his father and most of his brothers, he was from the first a zealous and sincere loyalist in principle. ... [When] Daniel Griswold ... returned to [Litchfield] ... enlisting soldiers into the king's service[,] Charles Kilborn was among the first to enroll his name, April 26, 1777.' When the loyalists were captured April 30, 1777, Charles escaped, although it was thought that he had been killed in the attempt, 'and, ... he succeeded in finding his way to Canada, on foot ...
    Before peace was concluded, he had attained the rank of Captain in the British service. ...
    At the commencement of the last war between the United States and Great Britain, Mr. K. held the rank of Major in the king's service ... [After the war] he was appointed a Justice of the Commissioner's Court ... He was also promoted to the command of a regiment as Lieut.-Colonel--the highest office in the militia of Canada.'
