Pharmboy, you are correct. James Madison didn't serve in the Continental Army, he was a member of the Continental Congress. Alexander Hamilton did serve as an aide de camp to Washington after March 1777 but at Trenton he was an artillery officer.

James Monroe was the future President who was wounded at Trenton. He was then serving as a Lt. in the 3rd Virginia Infantry Regiment. After recovering from his wound, he was promoted and became aide de camp to General William Alexander "Lord" Stirling.

I think cynicom was just playing a nasty game and baiting us with known falsehoods. If not that, he must be a bit retarded. Read his/her posts and you'll see what I mean.
