Slaves who slept over the kitchen heard the noise, and, arming themselves with old blunder- busses and other weapons, attacked the soldiers, capturing three, all of whom later escaped. When the slaves rescued their master and his mother, the two had been almost smothered by the feather bsd. Some of the descendants of the Ditmars are said still to have coins which were in the boxes the robbers sought. [ 17 ] CARPENTER'S TAVERN Jamaica, Long Island. Built before 1710 This has been a tavern since ...1710, and at the time of the Revolution its owner was Increase Caqsenter. Its chief claim to celebrity is that here General Nathaniel Woodhull was captured, August 28, 1776, by the British. General Washington had given him the work of driving the cattle on Long Island out of British reach, and on the day of his capture he had lingered to receive orders from Washington at the inn, although his troops had gone on four miles. While he was awaiting orders, the battle of Long Island was fought, and he was surprised and badly wounded by companies of British Highlanders and Dragoons.
