Interview with Davis, Zipporah
General Washington had his Headquarters at our house for one day, and slept there one night when my mother gave him her own bed, the only time she ever resigned it. [page break] 244 265 130. All I recollect of the Duke de Lauzerne consists in these particulars, viz: that he was a very polite, had a handsome person, wore moustaches, was liberal with money, and resided at a house where John Norton now lives. After the battle at East Chester (Pelham, October 18th) the American wounded, or at least some of them were brought first to our house, for some days, and then to the hospital, viz. North Castle Church." [page break] 246 267 [margin: see preceding page] 132 Nov. 5th. Mrs. Zipporah Davis. "When General Gates Head- Quarters were at my mother's, he told her she must expend nothing for the house for that he would furnish provision for the whole household, but this was after they had consumed all we had. General &c Dougall's Head- Quarters were also at my mother's. Tim Knapp was illegitimate, the only child of his mother, and remarkable for unusual personal beauty. His untimely death was much lamented."
