The British encampment at Ridgefield was half or three quarters of a mile from the village on an elevated plain or ridge of land on the east of and adjacent to the Norwalk road. They had several out posts or picket guards. One, on the high hill a quarter of a mile west of the village; one east of that, and near where Colonel Gould and others fell.

Deacon Lemuel Holley [of Ridgefield.] Mr. Lambert will answer my inquiries. When Tryon came one and a half or two miles from he found Arnold in a strong position. His guides then took him back through a bye road*, and making a circuit crossed the river at a ford by Raymond's factory about one and a half or two miles above Saugatuck bridge. This ford is below (that is, south of) Poplar Plain. -- Accounts from persons on the road.

[margin: see mss. p. 122.] * Mem. The lane or bye road runs northerly.
