Interview with McLean, Donald

Macdonald, John. Interview with McLean, Donald; (1848-05-06). Experiencing the Neutral Ground of the American Revolution: The McDonald Interviews, WCHS item 1544. Transcription courtesy of the Westchester County Historical Society (No copyright - United States). Passage 4 of 4 272 words

I don't know the first names of Hoag, and Major McKay. Major Menzies and James Grant were both prisoners on their parole which I believe was not to go further from home than six miles. Archibald Campbell, killed at Ward's house, was, I believe, only a Captain, but was soon to be promoted to a majority in one of the new raised corps. The name of Crawford, of Fredericksburg or South East, who belonged to Tarleton's Legion, was William. He was a brave man.

Fanning, Major McKay, Thos. Moody, the Dunlaps, Yea- -mans, Capt. Brandon or Capt. Kipp. William Cunningham, the provost Marshall was afterwards (as I have heard) hanged for forgery.
