James Cleveland of Brooklyn - & went over Kingsbridge where we staid for some time - then were ordered across the North River, to Fort Lee in the state of New Jersey - and were there when the British took fort Washington - from there we retreated with Gen. Washington's army, through Hackensack, Newark, & Brunswick, & on to Princeton where the Jersey College was then on to Trenton - & a little below, we crossed Delaware River, to Bristol & were at Bristol & Newtown till we were legally discharged on the 25 th day of December. We started for home the day antecedent to the night in which Gen. Washington & his army crossed the Delaware River into Trenton & took the Hessians, then we had to travel almost three hundred miles, to reach home in safety & arrived home, the forepart of Jan. 1777. The fourth Campaign, was in April of A.D. 1777, when I was drafted for a term of two months, & was under the command of Col.
