Benjn. Brush, Sen. P.O. Stanwich
1846. November 19 Benjamin Brush: Just as Hatfield was passing here a skirmish ensued. (?) - Believe one man was killed. Theall was left behind, but his friends carried his body to and buried him ^it at Rye. Mosier breasted them with 12 men at the Rocky Pass. This happened about the middle of the day. Bearmore commanded the party that killed Obadiah Mead. Mead was pursued and was on the point of surrender- -ing when a soldier (or Bearmore as most say) shot him. Bearmore said he was very sorry and lamented the occurrence. Bearmore was said to have killed him. DeLancey had a trooper named Jo- -siah Gaines who was very dangerously wounded and left near Round Hill. Dr. Belcher cured him, and to show his grati- -tude he stole the Doctor's horse! DeLancey afterwards made Gaines pay Dr. Belcher for the horse to the full value. When Tarleton came to Round Hill he

took a vidette, of White's, at that place and inquired for him (White) at Mr. Jonathan Knapp's, when he (White) was in Mr. Knapp's barn situate about a quarter of a mile east of Roger Brown's &c. They expected to find White at my fa- -ther's (Mr. Edward Brush) about one mile west of Stanwich Meeting House, and after leaving Round Hill they directed one party to take the north and the other the south road to take him (so as to come upon him) on both sides, but he had removed his quarters the day before. The south party proceeded as far as the Stanwich Meeting House, but the north party went no further than my father's (Mr. Brush's). I don't remember Gill's pursuit of [Totten][X].
