INTERVIEWEE: Samuel Washburn DATE: 1849-11-06 LOCATION: New Castle, New York

November 6th Samuel Washburn of Mount Pleasant aged 87: "I am a native of this vicinity having [marg: born?] been in the adjacent town of New Castle. My father remained here between the lines until the year 1780, but he was so much harassed and plundered by Skinners and cowboys that he then went with his family to Long Island where he continued to reside between Flushing & Jamaica during the residue of the war. Isaac Webbers and Luther Kennicutt were skinners during the latter part of the war. Captain Gil=bert Totten I know. He died above here in Yorktown I believe. The Kipps, Samuel and James, of DeLancey's, were severe towards the inhabitants and prisoners. Burr [marg: x Burr is written in origl, but probably the writer meant Bearmore - J.E. see p. 16. origl.] was a vigilant and good officer.

Talman Ouser of Ossining is an intellegent man and son of the Sea Captain. He must be possessed of considerable Revolutionary information.
