Paulding said to her, 'Aunt Fanny, take care what you say now; I believe we've got a British officer with us.' There was a cart road leading from James Requa's to Isaac Read's tavern, though 1 think Andre went on by Requa's to where Peter See's store is, and so towards Tarrytown. My father's house was about a quarter of a mile from the White Plains and Tarrytown road, and a mile from the Post road. (It was located near the pump house of the Tarrytown Water Works.) The brook where Andre was taken was called Clark's Kill. After his capture he was taken into the thicket on the east side of the road and to the old white-wood tree, about one hundred and fifty yards from the brook near which he was taken, and it was under that tree that they searched him and discovered his papers." Then there appears to have been another Hendrick Romer not the son of Jacob and called Hendrick, or Henry, Sr. Perhaps a nephew or brother of Jacob. He had married Christiana, daughter of Peter Van Woermer, and lived on Beaver Mountain, east of the Saw Mill River Valley. The following notice of her was published in the Westchester Herald , date of Sept. 16, 1856, she having died Aug. 31st of that year, aged 104 years : "Mrs. Romer was seventeen years of age at the time of her marriage with Hendrick Romer. Her husband enlisted in the Continental army, leaving her with only a young brother and slave in charge of the farm. I shall never forget her manner when stating at the age of 100 years her baking operations for the enemy. (She did the baking unwillingly and under compulsion.) On one of these occasions she had concealed several Americans not far from the house, and while feeding the enemy remembered her friends.
