[marg: x My Sister-in-law, Widow of Aaron Field in King Street. She is 4 or 5 years older than me.]

Elizabeth, wife of John Carpenter: "My name was Elizabeth Field, and my father lived in the first house above Tommy Clapp's at the head of King Street being the first house above, that is, north of Clapp's. Bearmore stopped at our house the day Bedford was burnt. My father had taken his papers out of the house and put them in a secure place, and said to Bearmore "Suppose my house will go, too?" Bearmore answered, "No, you are aware they won't meddle with you this time." He was of a poor family family at West Chester, and was along and in pursuit when the horse pursued as far as the School house east of Byram river.

One Major Tucker's family boarded at Tommy Clapp's. He himself was in the American service being originally from below at West Chester. When off duty he was with his family, and he was there when Bearmore with about twenty horse suddenly appeared

in sight advancing from the Purchase Meeting House. Totten saw him half a mile off, ran to the adjacent fields, bridled and saddled his horse and put his horse to his utmost speed, but the horse fell and one of the Refugees alone was near and in a moment came up. This was by Benjamin Clapp's where Sheldon at the time lay. Clapp's and Sheldon's men secured the horse and retreated towards Byram river and Totten escaped in the fields. Sheldon's retreated to Byram followed by the refugees as far as Byram where the School house now is and there wheeled about daring the Refugees to advance any further. The Refugees afraid of an ambush ventured no further and Totten regained his horse.
