I took hold of the Doctor, and told him he was my prisoner, and "he must go with me." His wife was present, and begged of me "to treat her husband well." I gave her my word I would, and I always invariably did so. We brought off all the men that were in the house. This Doctor I took upon my horse before me. While riding along, the Doctor slipped into my pocket five guineas. After arriving at headquarters, we delivered up our prisoners, as was usual for scouting parties ; I handed the Doctor the five guineas he had given to me ; he refused to take them back at first, and appeared to be a gentlemen in every respect ; but I insisted that he should take the guineas, saying he "was from home and among strangers, and I was at home." "That is very true," he said, and he took the guineas again. 1 interceded for him and had him exchanged in a few days.

A few years after the Revolution, Doctor Tucker came into the neighborhood where I lived, and inquired of one Abraham Underhill, living in Mount Pleasant, about three-quarters of a mile north of the Uniouville Meeting House, if he knew one John Dean? He told him he did, very well. The Doctor then related the story about his taking him prisoner and then telling Mr. Underhill where he lived, directed him to say to Mr. Dean he must come and see him, and he never shall want for five nor ten dollars, and " 1 will give his wife as handsome a present as she ever saw, for his treating me so kindly." So much for treating a prisoner well.
