Biographical notes:
Hercules Mulligan was a tailor and spy during the American Revolutionary War. Born in Ireland, he emigrated to New York City with his parents and graduated from King's College (Columbia University). He was friends with Alexander Hamilton. When George Washington spoke of his need for reliable information from within New York City in 1776, after the Continental Army was driven out, Hamilton recommended Mulligan due to his placement as tailor to British soldiers and officers.
