I belonged to the foot and worked at my trade (shoe-maker) boarding with a family that lived in the house of a man named Isaac Hunt of West Farms, a quaker.

He started in the afternoon - sun about one hour high, and about midnight were at Twitchings' [page break] corners. We had gone up the North River road when hearing of a large force from above moving east of us, we crossed to Twitchings' store. Here about midnight we were hailed by a Scout of about twenty or thirty American militia who challenged in regular style.
