I'll submit a name who came so close. Tied in vote total with Thomas

also served in the Revolutionary War.

Yes, but Burr saw very little combat. The only action I can think he was
in
was an attack on some British pickets during Henry Clinton's diversion
into New
Jersey in September of 1777. Other than that, he served mostly as a staff
officer (though still officially LTC of Malcolm's Additional Regiment
until it
was amalgamated with Grayson's [?] Additional. Of course, there were
duels.
Jackson also fought duels.
