Rouw was killed about a quarter of a mile east of the Methodist Meeting house at Yonkers on Hog Hill. Rouw belonged to Colonel Wormb's Yagers. Cattle all fat -- plenty of grass. Col. Wormb's men took our cows. Father reclaimed and got them again, but one was killed. Father was glad to get what remained Wormb's Major (Truschenck?) was cross. He once boxed my ears and those of a boy with me because we came

into the room where he was quartered with our hats on! (F. Van Cortlandt's house -- The room looked rough. -- They slept on the floor.)

Jacobus Van Cortlandt lived in the big house before the war, and moved to New york, where he soon after died, and Fredk. Van Cortlandt then moved in and lived there, leaving his house on the hill (afterwards H. White's house) into which Colonel Wormb then moved his head quarters. Augustus Van Cortlandt afterwards moved in and lived there, the place being entailed. I never heard Court -land's called the Manor house.

Most of the Indians were killed near Trippetts brook, west of Deveau's houses.

General Montgomery's farm was the next place north of Tetards. Tetards old vaults are called Tetards huts. Fort Independence was on Montgo- -mery's farm.

It was the winter of '76 and '77, I think, that Colonel Philipse went off. Abraham Vincent was sent below by Madam Philipse &c. Eastern troops (Meig's) came down in the night.

The Post house was robbed by men disguised with blackened faces. About to burn the old man -- that is, Jacob Post. David Post went out and made a noise on the hill throwing down fences, and calling out: "Here they are, boys!" &c. The robbers then ran.
