To the Memory of

Lieutenant Colonel JOHN HARRIS CRUGER,
late of Ruffell Place, Fitzroy Square.

Who Departed this Life June 3rd, 1807, aged 69 Years,
and is interred in the Vault under this Building.
He had been an Inhabitant of the City of New York,
in North America, and at the commencement
of the Rebellion (difregarding all perfonal confidera-
tions) he took up Arms in support of the Rights of
this country. In the course of that war he
distinguished himself in the Defence of the important
Poft of Ninety fix, in South Carolina, which he
maintained with about 300 Provincial Forces, without
Cannon, against a force of 7000 Men, with a numerous
Train of Artillery.

He also distinguished himself most brilliantly in the Action of the Eutwas, where he rallied a Portion of the Troops that had left the field, attacked the Enemy, recovered from them the Artillery they had taken, and pursued them until recalled by superior Orders. By a rapid and unexampled March, he relieved the

Garrison of Fort Augusta, which at the Time was befieged, and in most imminent Danger; And on every Occasion where he could exert himself he displayed a Zeal, Intrepidity, and good Conduct, which procured him the Approbation and Friendship of his Commander in Chief, the late Marquis Cornwallis, and all the Officers of Distinction with whom he served.

To his Gallantry and good Conduct as a Soldier, were added every Virtue that could adorn a Chriftian and a Gentleman in focial life, which has been fully teftified by the Feelings expressed at his Death

by all those to whom he was known. This short Memorial is placed here by his truly difconfolate Widow.
