The whortleberry bushes were by or near to tl-,e public highway, (/. c. the Crompond and Pines Bridge road). _ They soon after took the bodies of the dead officers and buried them with the honors of war, in Crompond church-yard, depositing the remains of Greene and Flagg -- and I believe, those of the young lieutenant -- in one common grave. "The widow of Col. Greene was present at this ceremony, which was conducted with great pomp ; a large number of the military, as well as of citizens, m.ox-ing in the procession, while the bands played the most solemn airs from the dead -march, &c.

Ensi2;n Green, commanding the guards at Pines Bridge, was a nephew of the Colonel.

After all the circumstances of the surprise at Davenport's house came to be known and understood, Col. De Lancey and the Refugees were not blamed. The impetuosity and indiscretion of a single individual, caused probably, all the bloodshed at my grand-father's. The young lieutenant atoned for his error, by fighting bravely to the last."''

On the 19th of November, 1S44, Lydia Vail, adds to her former testimony by saying : --

" Two negro servants and my father were wounded, one in the arm and the others in the shoulder. The very night before the surprise, Greene said to my grand-father, 'Mr. Davenport, you are_ a happy man, surrounded by a fine wife and a dutiful family of children. I envy you much, but I hope this unnatural war is drawing to a c!o.-e and that this time next spring, I also shall enjoy domestic happiness, as you do, with my v/ife and children.' Twelve hours had not elapsed after this, before he was a dead man. Davenport's house was Greene's headquarters. Greene was much beloved by my grand-father's family, as well as Flagg and the other ofiicers ; and the death of those who fell, partic ularly "that of Greene, was much and long lamented.
