Interview with Williams, John

Macdonald, John. Interview with Williams, John, b.c.1758; (1848-11-18). Experiencing the Neutral Ground of the American Revolution: The McDonald Interviews, WCHS item 780. Transcription courtesy of the Westchester County Historical Society (No copyright - United States). Passage 3 of 3 154 words

When Elijah Vincent heard this, he swore he would have revenge, and waylaid and shot a French officer (I think a General officer) at Scarsdale, despoiling him of all his arms which he afterwards showed me, and which I saw, consisting of a sword, dagger, pistols, epaulettes, scarf, belt, &c. - all extremely elegant. I was on the field of battle at Chatterton's Hill the day after the action. Most of the killed and wounded was where the Hessians crossed the Bronx, some also over the hill. I was up at Greenburg then on a visit." The Stockbridge Indians were all killed with Nimham.
