Simon's fourth great grandson Darren Hood offered the following: "His commanding officer was William Cotgreave, not Cotgrave, I found this misspelling in another county history text as well as Trumbull county's. It appears that Cotgreave's Ohio militia was active during the Battle of Mackinac Island."* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: May 13 2022, 21:22:07 UTC
