The Colonel sometimes joined us. The Dutchman was fond of fowling, and often used an English gun belong- ing to the Colonel, the touch-hole of which w^as bushed with gold. There was a large pond (or mill-dam) on or near to his farm, and it was much visited by w^ild ducks. This Dutchman often rose before day and went out and laid in an ambuscade and waited their approach. He being a good shot, would often kill numbers of them, and generally divided the spoils with the Colonel. The next place whe...re he placed her to home was near to Somerset Court House, in Jersey. The Colonel had a wagon, four horses and a driver allowed him, and in this he sent his niece, myself and all his baggage to the above named place. The team was again, driven to camp. Whilst we homed at Somerset Court House, a British officer had been captured and placed in the Court House, which was guarded by American soldiers. One morn- ing after getting out of bed about sun up, I noticed some men comino; at a distance, and thouoht that thev were- American light horse.
