to Long Island and paroled. Some time during the war (early part, probably), a party from below came up, and took off all Colonel Thomas's cattle, together with a large quantity of flour from his mill which stood on Blind Brook, where the Saw Mill now is. After the death of Brom Barrett Colonel Delancey gave orders that if ever taken, Fade Donaldson should not be brought in alive. When taken, however, he was conducted to West Farms. At first he carried his head high and bid his captors defiance, saying they dare not execute him without trial, but when about to be hanged relented and was humble."
