-ticut and brought in 600 Connecticut troops who disarmed the tories, placed the arms and accoutrements in the Parsonage House for safe keeping, and a queer set of arms they were - old firelocks, rusty pistols, worn out espouloons?, &c., ancient swords" &c. &c. When the British horse surprised Colonel Drake at Crompond, a British party crossed Vail's ford about two miles east of Pine's Bridge and advanced upon a crooked road commencing at the Ford and running first northerly, then westerly and southerly and coming into the Pine's Bridge and Crompond road, near Delavan's ^Davenports house, and a little south and west of it. This was done that they might not be discovered. They retreated after burning the church straight back to Pine's bridge. Andrew Miller's was between two and three miles west of Crompond village.

Hannah Sacket, wife of Stephen DeLancey, was on horseback escaping from the burning of the church, and was over- -taken about one mile from Crompond northerly by some house horsemen who robbed her of her shoe buckles and re- -quested her to dismount. She refused, and exclaimed "Is this the way you treat females? I will inform your superiors. Where is your commander?" He appeared. "I am the wife of Stephen DeLancey. Is this proper treatment for her? Give me an escort to a place of safety." The commander on hearing Delancey's name gave her an escort. She didn't tell that that she was daughter of Mr. Sacket, the Whig Presbyterian minister at Crompond. [X] Col. Green and Major Flagg are buried in the same grave, in the south-east corner of the Burying ground at Crompond, and Brom. Dyckman lies near the same spot.
