Interview with Corsa, Andrew

Macdonald, John. Interview with Corsa, Andrew, 1762-1852; (1848). Experiencing the Neutral Ground of the American Revolution: The McDonald Interviews, WCHS item 1433. Transcription courtesy of the Westchester County Historical Society (No copyright - United States). Passage 3 of 3 182 words

The old Mill on Mill Bridge, I think, is a quarter of a mile below James Morris's gate or thereabouts. I don't recollect the burning of the Refugee settlement, or where it was, or the sites of Redoubts Nos. 1. 2. 3. & 4. Williams's Bridge is northeast of Kingsbridge. I don't remember the uniform of Em- -merick's, Barnes's, or Althouse's, nor any thing about Captain Pray, Romer, Anna Fowler, commander of the Yagerhorse, or Colonel Armand's surprise of Wormb's outpost. The British had a fine opportunity in 1781 to fire from Haerlem up Mill Brook on Generals Washington and Rochambeau.
