50 800 £ New Rochelle? Now I. d. James Lyon! of Bedford, New Castle, aged 89: "Colonel Armand and his legion lay for some time off and on, about a mile or more from my house where three roads meet. Once, towards the end of the war, the Refugees came up in force - the foot remained at or near Clark's corner. The horse then came by Stephen Louns- =bury's into Durrselius Street where they fired Durrselius Clarke's house. They went no further east, but turned west, and went back to New Castle, setting fire to two or three other houses by the way. None of these houses were burnt - the inhabitants in every instance extinguishing the flames. The militia then all turned out, Rosemans, and Versailles &c. and pur- =sued and overtook them a mile [page break] 801 51 north of Clark's corner. Here the militia had a skirmish with a party of them, but no one was lost. We followed (a part of us) as far as Clark's corner. I was not with them, however. In coming back they found some bottles and money the Refugees had left in their hurry. They took no cattle this time, but captured a number of prisoners. The Refugees had as many as thirty or forty horsemen. The militia pursued too closely for them to take off any cattle. They killed Solomon Wardell at this time at Owen's on the Bedford and New Castle road. His brother Elisha Wardell was taken prisoner at the same time. Three of Moylan's discharged soldiers, Cornelius Ogden, John Strong and Adam Schill once proposed to me [page break] 52 802 to go on to Chappaqua and lay in wait for a drove of cattle going below. We watched and patrolled all night, and was right among the Refugees without knowing it.
