When the guard at Sherwood's Bridge was cut off by Bermore or Emmerick (?) the enemy crossed Jabez Sherwood's log bridge and guided by Davis Peck made a circuit and so gained the White Plains and Horseneck road half a mile east of Sherwood's Bridge where there is now a pair *pr.* of bars. Here Davis Peck left them. It was always said the British gave him $50. for piloting them. The guard was then attacked in front and rear at the same time.
