After reaching Long Island, they travelled only by night carrying the boats. They were three nights going across and reached Judge Jones about 9 o'clock in the evening. He was just going to bed, being up stairs, and was dressed in silk breeches. They asked for Judge Jones. He enquired who they were, and were answered Captain Jones and some friends. When he came down they told him he was a prisoner, and took him to one of the boats which was launched. When he first

came down they said they wanted to speak to him privately, and he then accompanied them out of doors, when they disclosed their errand. They returned by water going round the east end of Long Island and took Jones to Hartford. They were promised the plunder of Jones's house before they went and accordingly they carried off a good many valuables among the rest the wedding dress of Judge Jones's daughter who was about to be married. Also they got a good deal of ready money. Long Ridge is in Stamford nearly all of it, but the east part of it is in Poundridge. Mrs. Huldah Sarles daughter of Caleb Mead of Horseneck, and widow of James Sarles lives near Long Ridge in Poundridge, about five miles from here, and is about 86 years old and is well preserved in mind and body. She must be well acquainted with all that took place in Horseneck dur- -ing the Revolutionary war.
