Benjamin Fishbourn
Benjamin Fishbourn (January 4, 1759 – November 8, 1790) was an American soldier during the American Revolution and Aide-de-Camp to General Anthony Wayne. He was also the first ever Presidential nominee rejected by the Senate, also being the first instance of Senatorial courtesy.
Fishbourn was born on January 4, 1759 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to William and Mary Tallman Fishbourn.
In 1776, Benjamin Fishbourn was made Paymaster of the Second Pennsylvania Battalion for the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War. He served in the Continental Army with the First, Second, and Fourth Regiments of Pennsylvania. Later, he served as Aide-de-camp to General Anthony Wayne, which position he held for four years.
On January 3, 1777, he was made Captain of the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment.
On February 17, 1779, he became the Aide-de-camp to General Wayne. He was promoted to a Major and served as the subordinate to General Wayne until 1783.
In 1779, Fishbourn was staying at the home of Abraham Van Neste during the American Revolutionary War, with Brigadier General Anthony Wayne and his Wayne's other subordinate soldiers. During their stay at the house, there was a confrontation that required legal assistance, which was brought to the attention of General George Washington.
On January 25, 1779, Major Benjamin Fishbourn, and Samuel Wright had their sleeping quarters in the same room as Van Nest. They went up the stairs to find the room locked and started an argument with Van Neste. Van Nest apparently threatened to shoot Fishbourn and he assaulted Van Neste in return.
The next morning, on January 26, 1779, Peter Davis, the Somerset County Constable, attempted to serve a warrant on Fishbourn and Wright for their arrests as a result of the assault. General Wayne prevented the constable from serving the warrant and asked to see the warrant. Brig. Gen. Wayne ordered his subordinate, Samuel Wright to remove the Constable.
