horse. [X] Captain Pritchard was not along this time. He and Captain Fogg were both continental officers and stationed in Bedford and Salem. I am sure Lieut. Jayne was wounded in the arm on this occasion. My father was in Stevens's Rangers and at the battle of White Plains, and at the taking of Youngs house where he escaped. He had been in the Continental service, and with Captain Hunter of Bedford two years before he joined Stevens' Rangers. He had been in the Rangers sometime when he came home on a furlough, and was taken by the Refugees about a mile from here and never returned. We always supposed he was murdered by the Refugees Stevens' Rangers lay at that time in Saw Pitt. They had just previously cut off a party of Refugees who were conse- -quently bitter against the Rangers.
