We followed the Fordham road leading to Delancey's Mills which at that time crossed the ground where the Boston Post road now is, at right angles, and then ran directly down to the Bronx, passing the spot where the old yellow tavern now stands [page break] 172 1028 [margin: PARIS] After crossing to the river, the old road passed the bridge which stood where the present stone bridge stands, and running directly along the banks of the Bronx passed the site of the old Block House some distance to the right or west, which before its destruction stood upon a ledge of rocks in front of Mapes's Temperance house or store. (?) These rocks at that time covered all the ground where the houses and streets now are west of the Bronx. The Block House was a little south of the road which leads across the Stone Bridge. In the lower part of West Farm's Village the old road came into and was identical with the road now used. We continued our march on the old road in the following order, scarcely moving off a walk: - 1st The guides with a small detachment of light horsemen, among whom were some of the generals' aides; 2nd The Generals and their suites and attendants; 3rd Then at [page break] 1029 175 [margin: PARIS] a considerable interval the main body of the army. About a mile below Delancey's mills we passed the house of Cornelius Leggett and a quarter of a mile further South the house of Robert Hunt which is still standing. These houses are remarkable as having, at different times, been the Headquarters of Colonel Delancey and Major Bearmore, as well as when the officers in question were captured as previously and afterwards. About a mile and a half or so below Delanceys bridge where the new stone mansion of Fox (?) is now erected, we turned east and arrived at a spot which commanded a full view of part of Long Island Sound including the Two Brothers.
