This occurred about a mile and a half west of Stanwich Meeting House. None but my father was killed wounded or taken. After my father's death the Refugees fled. They were from the neighborhood of Stanwich and Horseneck. The name of one of these Refugees was Lockwood.

Once the Refugees crossed the Byram near Peck's land, and making a circuit came upon the guard at Sherwood's Bridge from the direction of Horseneck, and fired upon and cut off the guard. I don't know whether Major Huggeford, commanded this party or not. The horse came forward at this time and shouted dreadfully as they charged!

Edwin W. June, of Glenville, (Portchester Post Office): "Silas Chapman was not killed the same day he killed Thomas June. June was an elderly man [page break] and was in a field where he had been hoeing corn. His wife was with him and had hold of his arm at the moment he was shot. The June's lived all together a short (a short distance east of Stanwich Meeting House and were strong whigs in common with the whole neighborhood. This made them obnoxious to the Refugees. The Refugees came up in parties of thirty, fifty and one hundred; and breaking in small parties scoured the country, and took off all the cattle. Sometimes they were pursued and the cattle retaken.

I will write to you or see you at Flushing this winter. I want to go to Newtown to see some friends."
