My third is in lady, but not in man.
My fourth is in meal, but not in bran.
My fifth is in nick, but not in batter.
My sixth is in din, but not in clatter.
My seventh is in fright, but not in scare.
My eighth is in stallion, but not in mare.
My ninth is in county, but not in State.

The name of a general much renowned.
