General Orders, Camp near Gwyn's Island, July 12, 1776. . .
In consequence of an order from the Hon. Brigadier-General
Lewis, for the trial of Lieut. Henry Williams of the
Virginia forces, by a general court-martial, at
Williamsburg, July 16, 1776, he the said Lieutenant Williams
was found guilty of behaving in a scandalous and infamous
manner, unbecoming the character of an officer or soldier,
was cashiered, drummed along the line at Springfield camp,
through Williamsburg, and College camp; and, as part of his
sentence, is now held up with infamy to the public, as a
person not worthy of enjoying the common blessings of
society. [signed] James Hendricks, president.
