Leggett instantly cut him in the sword arm, and before he could transfer his sword, wounded him in the other arm also. After being much cut, Poole surrendered, [and died] from loss of blood that night. (?)

About twenty or thirty of the cattle was driven into Morrisania and the rest were all retaken.

I think some of the Refugees were killed or wounded, and that no one of the Americans was killed but Poole.--

Clark's corner was about six miles from North Castle Church. [Mr Hyat says about five - that it was not called Clark's corner during the Revolutionary war, and was formed by the intersection of the Tarrytown and Bedford road with the White Plains and Pines Bridge road. It consists of three corners. The White Plains and Pines Bridge having joined the Bedford and Tarrytown road a quarter of a mile or more north of the corner.]

I don't know whether the man who fought with Charles Leggett was an officer or not. He was taken to Morrisania and died there (as I understood) the same night riding the horse down there on which he fought. I saw him as he rode with the blood flowing from his wounds. He held his hands clasped together, a man riding on each side of him. This skirmish

was fought about a quarter or half a mile west of Clark's corner on the road to Bedford. This place was not called Clark's corner in the Revolutionary war. It is or was in fact three corners formed by the Bedford and Tarrytown road and a road which branches off from this to the White Plains. I think the Refugees took no prisoners except Captain Moseman and the one that was wounded. Captain Knapp was up on this occasion by ap= -pointment to cover a drove of cattle going to New York.
