STRINGER, Samuel, physician, born in Maryland in 1734; died in Albany, New York, 11 July, 1817. He studied medicine in Philadelphia with Dr. Thomas Bond, was appointed to the medical department of the army in 1755 by Governor William Shirley, and served in the campaign of 1758 at Ticonderoga. He then settled in Albany, and on 14 September, 1775, was appointed director and physician of the hospitals of the northern department, and authorized to appoint a surgeon for the fleet that was then fitting out upon the lakes.
