-- When Tim Knapp was hung Major Huggerford was absent. On hearing of Knapp's being brought in he hastened home, but arrived too late to save him. He was very much put out at his death. Brom. (Abraham) Barrett [as] and I have always understood [marg: (2)] was hanged in retaliation of Tim Knapp. When Major Huggeford returned

after the war, the sons of Fade Donaldson swore vengeance against him, and for long the major went about armed.

Sometime in the latter end of the war, Major Huggeford came up with a party of horse to Horse neck to surprise a Guard under Captain Fogg, and crossing over a place called "Peck's Land", they took Mr. Peck (or whoever lived on that land) and compelled him to pilot them across to where Fogglay. When they came near Huggeford halted and told his followers to lay quiet until they heard a firing and then to march on. Huggeford taking one man with him went on having first quietly removed the stones from a wall to allow the horses to cross. This was done very carefully and silently stone by stone. Huggeford and his

men then approached the guard and were hailed: "Who goes there?" No answer. &c. -- Sentry fired, and the Refugees rushed on and took the Captain and all or most of his men.

When Captain Bouton of Poundridge surrendered great fault was found. They said he might have so fortified himself in the Swamp as to have bid defiance to an enemy. One of his men was Killed and one wounded I believe he did'nt afterwards command
