Decr. 13th Abraham Davis, "In the Revolutionary war there was an enclosed fort of Huested's Hill and one also on McCord's hill. At White Plains there was no fort, only the two lines or breastworks that you remember. The Hessian Light Horsemen rode upon very high saddles covered with sheep skins. The Legion Cavalry were mounted on very fine bay horses that excited general admiration. (1778?) General Lincoln's quarters were at my father's. Genl Lincoln was lame in one heel."
