covers a wide variety of activities. It is not a rank and it excludes
military service.

Patriotic Service includes: Collector of Provisions; Defender of Fort or
Frontier; Delegate to a Continental Congress or to a Provincial Congress;
Express Rider, Fence Viewer; Furnishing a substitute, Gunsmith who gave his
services; Inspector of provisions; Legislator; Member of the Boston Tea
Party; and many others.
