Holcroft refused saying: "No - for they will rob me again before I get home. Let them bring it to my house and I will then see if I can get it." DeLancey then directed Shube and Ackerly to carry the money to Holcroft at Davenport's Neck, which they did, and on his return Shube was taken at the tavern of the Widow Toulon's at New Rochelle Landing where he had imprudently stopped for the night, (?) by Reynolds, the whale boat captain, from Stamford, and his men. -

Reynolds told him: "Stand off! If my gun misses you shall go clear, other =wise take the consequences!" I saw him soon after his death. He was much pierced with buck shot in the eyes and face. It was always always supposed that Holcroft betrayed Shube, informing the whale boatmen where he was.

Captain Kipp was very severe and Totten kind to prisoners. Samuel Kipp of Mount Pleasant near Croton River is a son of Captain Samuel Kipp. Captain Samuel Kipp was lost at sea in going to Nova Scotia, whither his wife refused to accompany him.

When the book of Joshua Hett Smith came out we all made up our minds that the house where he and André took breakfast on the morning of his capture was the house of the Widow Budd at Pine's Bridge. This house stood near where Miler's tavern was afterwards built - it was long and low, and a road passed two of its sides (that is, the north and west) so that it was either on the right or left hand side of the road. On this day morning a young woman, now deceased, was on a visit at the house of a friend, situate on the east or right hand side of the White Plain road when André passed by and stopping enquir =ed the road to White Plains.
