| 释义 |
BiographySmall immigrated to Pennsylvania with his family and began an apprenticeship as a gunsmith.[2] He served as a militia soldier at Fort Pitt during the American Revolutionary War. After the war, in 1785, Small relocated to Vincennes, Indiana.[3] He became an officer in the local militia, and participated in the 1786 Battle of the Embarras River.[4] Small also corresponded with George Rogers Clark that same year, and petitioned for military aid from Kentucky.[5] Small worked as a gunsmith, merchant, and tavern owner. Smith was appointed sheriff on 4 July 1790, and the tavern was used as the first Knox County Courthouse.[2][6] Small was a representative for Knox County to the Northwest Territory Legislature in 1799. In 1800, Small was appointed as Indiana Territory's first adjutant general under territorial Governor William Henry Harrison,[2] and given the rank of lieutenant colonel.[7] He held this office for over a decade, including the Battle of Tippecanoe, but stepped down with Governor Harrison during the War of 1812.[8] John Small's tavern temporarily housed the Indiana Territorial Legislature in 1813.[9] Rifles
