About Thirty rods on the height, this side of Hatfield quarters we were met by the Enemys guard. They fired upon us twice while we were making up the Hill. We did not fire. On gaining the Hill, the Guard of the Enemy fled to the Colonels quar- ters got into the house & commenced a fire upon us from the house - We returned the fire into the win- dows. We got into the lower rooms & attempted to ascend into the Chambers, where the Enemy was on attempting to go up they rolled down some barrels of salt, which killed one of our men. Finding it difficult to get up our officers ordered the house to be set on fire, which we did in many places upon which the enemy ran down thro' the doors & windows on to the top of the Stoop & thence to the ground. The Enemy seventeen privates a quar- ter master, a quarter master Ser- geant & Col. Hatfield surrendered pris- oners. Major Hickford succeeded in making off. Two of our men were killed; one a waiter to Lieutenant Wilson I know not how many if any were killed of the enemy as the house was consumed. our offi- cers impressed some slights and took the prisoners aboard & made for horse neck.

We were march- ed back to Morrisena - They stripped me of my shoes & knee buckles & great coat - They then took us over Starlac river & put us in  with the Hessian priest. On the next day They took us to New York & put us into the Sugar House. I staid there till the tenth day of May 1780 when I was exchanged & returned home

General Washington was also there. I'm about six weeks

2 nd In the spring of 1778 (May I think) at the same New Milford I again enlisted in Captain David Armstrong's Company of Connecticut-State Troops for one year, with a condition to the enlistment that I was to be employed in the service one half of the time in Connecticut & one half of the time in New York. The company belonged to Col Roger Earle's Regiment of Infantry. One mile from Kent-Corners was Lieutenant.

I saw General Washington at the point when we arrived there. There was one Regiment of Continentals from Massachusetts. From this place we went home having been dismissed, until called for. I remained at home

not more than a week or ten days, & was then called to go to Horse neck. I accordingly went with the company & Regiment to Horse neck & remained there untill my years service expired. At this place I together with the whole regiment was discharged. There was no written discharge. The Regiment was paraded in a line, and we were verbally dismissed by the Colonel.
