Levi Mead of Quaker Ridge near Round Hill: "My father's family moved to Salem during the war and lived there about three years. Captain Theall was originally from Rye and belonged I believe to DeLancey's. He came up with a party and made an incursion into Connecticut as far as Stenwich where he collected a great number of cattle and horses &c. and then made for Morrisania, but was way- -laid by Mosier with a party of levies and militia, near my house surprised and killed, some of his men made prisoners, and the cattle &c. all taken. Colonel Mead commanded a regiment of Connecticut militia and Major Fitch was his adjutant.
