Interview with Vail, Lydia
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.--
Major Morrell escaped the [?Delancea] disaster of Davenport house by accident. He happened to pass that eventful night at a Mrs. Remsen's who lived somewhere near Pines Bridge (courting 'twas said). Returning to Head quarters (where
he staid) next morning he heard a noise which seemed to approach. He reined up his horse, listened, and looking in the direction from which the sound came saw the glittering of the soldiers caps and swords. Spurring his horse he leaped him over the fence and concealed himself in a thicket until the detachment had passed by. The widow Griffen's house stood above the Croton on the north side of the Crompond road. She was born Brundage. The widow Budd's house stood below the Croton, and at Pines Bridge on the left side of the road leading to White Plains, and on the right of the road leading to North Castle Church -
She was born Griffen. The only Dutch families, I remember that lived at Pines Bridge during the Revolutionary war were the Juhels who lived, near a mile from the bridge on the left, near where the White Plains road now leaves the turnpike, and the Buckout's who lived on the right side
