What was I Famous for???

I was famous for my work in the colonies. I was a soldier and the first grand master of Masons in New Hampshire. I was a good leader and a good resident. I worked for the law and became the major of Rhode Island in 1778. I also became the president of the state in 1786-1787. In the summer of 1779 I ran the Sullivan expedition which was a campaign that was also ran by James Clinton and the four nations of the Iroquois who were in the British side in the American Revolutionary War. The campaign led us to a major battle in Newton along the Chemung River in western New York. After the battle me and my army made another campaign called Scorched Earth which destroyed 40 Iroquois villages which is now upstate New York. We lost a lot of materials and a lot of our soldiers died frozen and starved to death.
