Mosier not knowing but they might have Infantry (as they frequently had) marched off without having a man hurt, & wounding 9 of the enemy. After Mosier went off, the enemy returned, procurred a carriage & carried Kipp off who it was said recovered of his wound. This affair was published in the papers at the time & great credit bestowed on Mosier for his bravery & skill. Shortly after the war Mosier related the whole transaction to me personally.

A Capt. Althouse & his company was sent out by the British & had gone within a short distance of Young's house at Croton. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood collected to-gether & attacked Althouse who defended himself bravely but was overpowered & with his company made prisoners. Joshua Barnes who had resided at what is now called Harts corner in the town of Greenburg (formerly called Phillips Manor) in the early part of the war, nearly a year before the battle of White Plains went with several others, to the British he then obtained a Capt.'s commission. Althouse not returning as soon as expected, Barnes with his company was sent out to reinforce him. He was met by a Capt. Levens-worth of the American army (a young officer, of about 19 years of age) a native of New England with his company, at the point of a hill. Barns retreated round the hill, to the other side, where he was again met by Levensworth & sur-rendered with his whole company. Without firing a gun or making any resistence whatever--
