Davenport's House was Greene's head quarters, Greene was much beloved by my grandfathers family, as well as Flagg and the other officers, and the death of those who fell, particularly that of Greene was much and long lamented. This disaster happened a little before sunrise. I lived at my fathers half a mile off northerly on the Crompond road. Word came to us that they were all cut off and killed at Head quarters and we all ran through the fields to Davenports house. The Refugees were at this moment retreating through the woods towards Pines Bridge, and when we saw them the glittering of their arms we stopped and hid till they had passed on. We arrived at Davenport

house about sunrise, or a little after and found the floors and walls covered with the blood of the dead, wounded and dying. Flagg and the Captain were killed outright. The Refugees forced Greene to mount a horse and retreated upon Pines Bridge by a lane which then led to the Main or Crompond road thro' a piece of woods which at that time extended to the main road. This lane was considerably south of the present lane which leads from Davenport House to Crompond road, and was a much nearer route to Pines Bridge. Greene held on the horse till they were just coming out of the [?Bridge] wood into the main road. He then fell off, and they found he had fainted, and was dying from loss of blood. They then laid him on a bank by the side of a wood and passed on.--
