Delancey's Neck &c. was part of the manor of Scarsdale. Governor Delancey had three children -- John [Peter?] Stephen and Susan. Stephen and Susan died childless, & John [Peter?] took all. Colonel Rogers came to Mamaroneck on October 21st about sunrise with about 400 men. Part of his regiment took possession of the high ground and part went to the village of Mamaroneck destroying the American stores deposited there for the army at Fort Washington.

Great quantities of rum, sugar, pork, and molasses were destroyed near the dock -- some in houses further up the river. The army bivouacked round small fires about 1 or 200 yards north west of Delancey's house. Captain Eagles with his company was posted as a picket guard further south near where the private burying ground was now is. The sentry on Long Island (Indian) was surprised (and taken without noise), and the picket guard was taken, but part of them probably fired and gave the alarm. Rogers ran from the School house to the hill and maintained his ground. Colonel Hazlet with his party came from White Plains down the Mamaroneck road to the forks at Benjamin Cornell's, then took the Quaker Meeting house road to within half a mile of the Post road, and then advanced three quarters of a mile to the fields till they came upon Capt. Eagle's guard which they surprised,

The Americans retreated by the same road - that is, by the fields three quarters of a mile to the Cross Road, then to the Quaker Meeting House; and so on to White Plains. The guides and pioneers pulled down the fences for the troops and left them so. A small American guard over the stores at Maroneck was attacked in the morning of the 21st by Rogers and drew off leaving several wounded.
