[margin: PAIRS] Benj^n Brush, Sen. P.O. Stanwich. 23. 1846. November 19, Benjamin Brush: Just as Hatfield was passing here a skirmish ensued. (?) Believe one man was killed. Theall was left behind, but his friends carried his body to and buried him at Rye. Mosier brevetted them with 12 men at the Rocky Pass. This happened about the middle of the day.

Bearmore commanded the party that killed Obadiah Mead. Mead was pursued and was on the point of surrendering, when a soldier (or Bearmore, as most say) shot him. Bearmore said he was very sorry and lamented the occurrence. Bearmore was said to have killed him.

They expected to find White at my father's (Mr. Edward Brush) about one mile west of Stanwich Meeting House, and after leaving Round Hill they directed one party to take the north and the other the south road to take him (so as to come upon him) on both sides, but he had removed his quarters the day before. The south party proceeded as far as Stanwich Meeting House, but the north party went no further than my father's (Mr. Brush's).
