Thomas Holdup Stevens

  Source Page 543

Thomas Holdup was "an inmate and pupil of the Orphan Asylum in Charleston."  "He became a protege of General [Daniel] Stevens, of that City...". [Source, Page 528]

From an Arlington Cemetery website:

Volunteering for lake service, he went to the Niagara frontier, and in a night assault on the enemy works opposite Black Rock, November 27-28, 1812, was one of the leaders of a detachment which captured two enemy guns and dislodged an enemy force by firing their barracks. A canister shot through his right hand in this action inflicted permanent injury.

Young as he was, he had distinguished himself in the War of 1812, even before Perry's brilliant victory on Lake Erie, and he commanded one of the vessels in that ever-memorable battle.  National Intelligencer, Monday, January 25, 1841

Thomas Holdup Stevens eventually reached the rank of Commodore.  He died in 1841 (FindAGrave says 1845).

General Daniel Cruger

From the History of the settlement of Steuben County, N.Y:

"...he established the Owego Democrat... ."  "He edited and published this paper until the year 1804 when he parted with his interest in the concern.  His father, having previously settled at Bath, young Cruger now made that village his home."  "....he...entered the office of General S.S. Haight as a student at law... ."  "...in the year 1806...about this time he was married to Miss Hannah Clement, a niece of the late Henry A Townsend, of Bath, a lady of great refinement intellectual culture and graceful accomplishments... ."
He continued to practice with increasing success, until the year 1812, when the war with England created a martial spirit throughout the country, which caused many young men to leave their occupations and enter the service of their country. Among these was Mr Cruger. He accepted a position on the staff of General McClure. [Source] 

From West Virginia: A Guide to the Mountain State:
"After her husband's death, Lydia Shepherd managed the estate until she died, at the age of 110, having outlived her second husband, General Daniel Cruger."

At my blog, In Deeds, there is a post featuring Hannah Cruger Stout Howell  who was Gen. Cruger's daughter.

There's an interesting clause in the will of General Cruger's father.
