INTERVIEWEE: Elizabeth Archer Tuttle DATE: 1846 LOCATION: New York

October 9th Garret Garretson, of Yonkers: Donop's horse was ambuscaded by a party of Americans who got above and below them - the infantry below [some distance from] the cavalry. The ~~sight~~ [marg: noise] of the fight resembled a smith hammering a bar of iron - no firing, fought only with their swords. The same night I saw [marg: Isaac] Martling who was killed by the Refugees. They set [marg: Gload Requas] fire to Mr. Rogers's house one mile below Tarrytown, but the fire was extinguished.

[ Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttle, 5th Avenue - Haerlem - near Madam McGowan's - John Tuttle.

Isaac Collard of Green St, I think, the west side of the town - shoemaker has much new information. ]

Elizabeth Tuttle, [marg: nee Archer see opposite] of New York: "John Pugsley was adjutant of DeLancey's - was taken up stairs when Brom [Dyckman] and others surprised my fathers house which was DeLancey's headquarters one year or perhaps less.

A guard [garrison] was kept at No. 8 all the war. The floating bridge was from No. 8, or near it across Haerlem creek. Refugee settlements on Gouverneur's and Lewis Morris's lands about as much on one as the other.

Col. DeLancey had gone out to meet a flag at my Lord Underhill's and it rained, so he escaped Cushing's attack, but several were taken.

Hatfield commanded at Morris's house when it was burnt, and it was then DeLancey's head=quarters - and afterwards headquarters were at our house - his headquarters afterwards were at his own house at the mills.
