31 The Fourth Regiment in Wayne's organization was that of Col. Rufus Putnam of Massachusetts. His First Battalion, four Massachusetts companies, was command- ed by Major Wm. Hull, of Massachusetts, and his Second, two North Carolina and two Massachusetts companies, by Major Hardy Murfree of North Carolina. At this time, however, it was only partially organized, and Major Hull's command in the battle was a '' detachment " of about 300 men assigned to him for the occasion. "Light Horse " Harry L...ee had been ordered to follow the expedition with a reserve corps. A regiment under Col. Ball was moved forward from Rose's Farm for additional support, and General Muhlenberg's brigade had been manoeuvred into the vicinity by Washington upon some pretext as a cover for the whole. Wayne's own troops took an unfrequented back road, behind Bear Mountain, and about 8 P. M. halted at- Springsteel's Farm, about a mile and a half west of Stony Point. Here, while the troops were resting, Wayne and other officers made another careful examina- tion of the ground they were to cover.
