October 31st Benjamin Knapp of Roundhill: I am 78 years old. Once, sometime in the latter part of the war, the Refugees (a small party, perhaps not more than six or twelve came up here and took of my fathers and the neighbouring cattle (sparing the tories' however) drove them across the field and through the woods and took them off. We never got them again This was in the middle of the day and in warm weather - in the latter part of the summer, I think. They took off at the time sheep and horses as well as cows, &c. "Peck's Land" is west of where Horton Reynolds lived. My father was robbed of a pair of oxen which were taken off by Charles Rundell towards the end of the war, but which were recaptured.
