Private John Williams of the 10th Pennsylvania Regiment, injured in the shoulder during a 1777 battle in New Jersey, later served in the Continental Army's Invalid Regiment, a corps composed of old and disabled soldiers able to perform garrison and guard duties but otherwise unfit for active service.
