On the 14th of May last year, a Mr Ward (fifty or sixty years old) of Newyork, called upon me saying that he was a nephew or had married a niece of Colonel Greene -- that it was the anniversary of the Colonel's death -- that (as I understood him) he belonged to the Firm of Prime, Ward, King & Co. and wished to examine the house.

I showed him through -- told him all I knew of the Colonel's fate, and pressed him to stay all night and sleep in the room where Greene and Flagg were surprised, but he declined, because he was expected back by company waiting his return at Pines Bridge,

He had previously called upon Thomas Strang of Cram pond to ascertain where the remains of Greene and Flagg were deposited.

[symbol] This probably was Richard Ward, Esq.

Mem. Mr. Chadcayne says that in 1781 or 1782, or both, part of the French army encamped on some high ground a little north or north west of Davenport's house.
