October 18. John Dusenbury, of Greenburg: "My father lived on the Edgar farm, and the old stone house stands there yet. The fight between Lee's dra- -goons and (Marty's) chasseurs took place in the road north of Edgar's house, and between it and the old Ferry house, which was afterwards Livingston's farmhouse. The combat commenced in the road, and continued easterly in the fields to which the Yagers fled."
