Elizabeth Bush Wetmore: "I am in my 88th year. In the latter part of the war, in the Fall, I think, a party of Refugees who had collected a drove in Connecticut were overtaken at Sawpitts by the militia and the troops that pursued. One of the prisoners was shot in the knee. There was some fighting as they passed through Sawpitts, but the drove went on the Rye. They crossed Sawpitt bridge below Byram. Bearmore was a slender (?) genteel man.
