Novr. 16th Mrs. Hannah Miller: “I am now in my 90th year. There was, I think, in the Revolutionary war a blacksmith’s shop on the hill above Moses Fowler’s, kept by one Gabriel McFadron, brother of John. Moses Miller says André was captured by the three who at the time were concealed in the bushes on the east side of the road.”
