Bolton, in his History of Westchester-county, (original edition, i., 140 ; second edition, i., 688) said General Knyphausen landed on Myers point, or Davenport's neck, "ten days previous to the battle of White-Plains," [October 18,] the day on which he had reached Sandy-hook ; anil in the first of the two editions, he cited, as his authority, Stedman's History of the American War, in which there is not the slightest mention of the date of the debarkation of the Division, beyond the fart that it was after the twenty-first of October, seven days before the action on Chatterton'shill.

HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

" have too often fatally contributed to national " dishonor." '

During the following night, \_Tuesday, October 22,] the Division of the American Army which was commanded by Major-general Sullivan reached the White Plains,^ and, probably, occupied a position in the proposed new line of the Army, on the right of that already occupied by the Division commanded by Major-general Heath ; although we have not found any information, on that subject, among the contemporary authorities.^

While General Sullivan and his command were thus moving towards the White Plains, a raid was made from the Regiment which occupied the entrenched Camp at Mile-Square, in which a Corporal and two Privates, with the approval of the Colonel, " went out to see what they could pick up," and succeeded in bringing in "a number of fat Cattle," without pretending, however, that they had belonged to the King's Army ; * and, on the afternoon of the following day, [ Wednesday , Ociober 23,] the same small party went out, again, but in a different direction -- "going "directly to the rear of the Hessian Camp," [near East Chester,'] '' they went into a house where they " washed for the Officers, and were bringing off three " tubs of Shirts, when the man of the house informed " the Camp." The marauders were, of course, compelled to retreat ; but, meeting some of their comrades,-- probably the party referred to in the following paragraph, -- they rallied, drove back their Hessian pursuers, killed the Major who commanded the latter -- from whom they took his Commission and ten guineas, in money -- and a number of others, and captured three prisoners,^ evidently securing to themselves, also, very great credit.
