October 23d Hannah Miller:

Major Shepard wounded in the neck. Genl. Nexan quartered at my aunts (where Eliza Elias Capron now lives), and was a plain good man. Captain Totten was a mild gentlemanly man, and took Green, a huge fellow, prisoner, after wounding him about the head severely. The blood ran in streams down his clothes when he took his hat off.

-- Cornelius [Octob] Oakley was concealed by Widow Day several days. Couldn't swim, and crossed the Harlem river on a raft. While laboring hard to get across, a "shite poke" alighted and sat upon the raft. He said: "If ever a man was in distress and prayed, I did then."

-- Anthony Miller (who lived at W. F's place) commanded the company that killed William Lounsbury. He soon afterwards went below to make his peace and never returned.

At the battle of White Plains, Capt. Scott was brought to our house in a litter, and died next morning. At Young's house, the fire melted the Snow, and the wounded, when they cried for water, had their thirst quenched with water, mixed with their own blood. A number of wounded lay about the house.

Mosier was made much of after he defeated Kipp and had a fine dinner given him at Bedford.

The St[ockbridge] Indians encamped in a piece of ground called "the calf pasture" between the Bronx and the road and east of the Bronx, on the late James Mullers farm.
