Moseman's Company and other volunteers pursued ; I think Moseman accompanied us, but am not certain ; lie was reported to be rather timorous ; Ephraim Knowlton was our Lieutenant, and a good officer ; he was with us at this time ; we pursued on the road leading to North Castle church, overtook the refugees five or six miles below, when we fired upon Kipp's party, and they abandoned the cattle or most of them; we followed on very fiercely, and were soon after joined by Lieutenant James and three privates of Sheldon's regiment ; all at once, as we gained the top of an eminence, we came upon the main body of the enemy's horse, who were waiting for us over the crest of the hill ; they instantly charged. Lieutenant James was badly wounded in the arms and head, and taken prisoner (shortly after paroled); one horseman was dismounted, joined us and escaped ; but the other two were taken ; Thadeus Seely, a private in our Company, was wounded and taken prisoner; none of our company were killed, and no others wounded ; they did not pursue us very far ; we re-took about fifty head of cattle and escaped by taking to the woods; there were about fifty or sixty of us beside Sheldon's Horse ; Capt. Pritchard was not with us at that time. On the morning of the 16th, 1781 " (continues the same authority), " the enemy made an incursion from Morrisania, towards Bedford, and took Lieutenants Carpenter, Wright and Peacock, and five other inhabitants, prisoners ; burnt five houses, plundered and stripped several other inhabitants, and returned; they were pursued by Capt. Pritchard, but could not be overtaken."
