October 9th William Archer. - Went with him & examined remains of Fort No. 8. on his land which is a higher elevation than Morris's - that is, where Lewis Morris's house stands. [The site of No. 8. is the highest ground on the east margin of Harlem creek.] Fort George, on Laurel hill, stood nearly but not exactly opposite to No. 8, being a little south and east of No. 8. Both my father's and my grand father's name was Benjamin Archer. Samuel Archer: "I believe my house which is the same my father occupied during the Revolutionary war was the headquarters of Col. Delancey for a while. My sister Eliza Tuttle living under the hill east of Madame St. Jean's knows how this is."
