  Lambert Cadwalader Papers, American Philosophical Society
Lambert Cadwalader, born in Trenton New Jersey in 1743, was the son of Hannah Lambert and Thomas Cadwalader, a physician.
In 1775 Cadwalader was appointed captain of one of four Philadelphia companies called "the Greens." In January of 1776 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the Third Pennsylvania Battalion and six months later assisted in the construction of Fort Washington which was intended to inhibit enemy shipping.
Cadwalader, however, refused to take command as he was only paroled by General Howe and not exchanged for an officer of equal rank; after struggling with the decision, he consulted George Washington who acted by issuing a general order that no enemy officers of field grade were to be release.
