I'm searching for the name of General de Longchamps interpreter. How long did he serve? Where is the evidence? The Revolutionary War time period. Found the following information in the book, "New York in the Revolution: Prepared Under the Direction of the Board of Regents" Berthold Fernow, Editor published in Albany in 1887. Nideau, Basil, priv., enl'd "75, near Montreal, enl'd for the war at Albany in Capt. Oliver, Col. M. Hazen's, served as Sergt., 6 yrs, 11 m. of which as interpreter with Gen'l De Longchamps. A. P. 23-247. Champlain, Clinton Co.

What does A. P. 23-247 stand for?

This one was a stumper. NARA colleagues say the court case would likely not be found in NARA custody as explained by wikipedia: United States Reports, volume 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. We hope the History Hub community becomes big enough that someone stumbles in with an answer!

  Another colleague says "Founders Online at http://www.founders.archives.gov includes 40 or so pieces of correspondence on de Longchamps, and perhaps the editorial footnotes that accompany these transcriptions contain some clue as to the interpreter that is being researched."
  
  I hope that helps a little!
