arrival at Bethel he traded his horse, sad
die and bride to John Payne, one OF the
original proprletors OF the town, for a lot
OF land on which he settled. This farm
has been owned by the Wallace family
ever since and is now owned by r. Il.
Wallace.
Perhaps the most valuable OF the papers
held by John Wallace is a pass issued in
duplicate under the hand OF Benedict
Arnold. 1t reads as follows: "Head-
quarters, Robinson House, Sept. 22d,
1850. Permit Mr.. John Anderson to pass
the guard TO the White Plains or below il
he chuses, he being on public business by
my direction. b. ARNOLD
The tradition bias been handed down in
the Wallace family that this Is the origi-
nal pass issued by Benedict Arnold TO
Msjor Andre under the name OF John
Anderson and the signature certainly
looks like the published signatures OF
Arnold. On the back OF the same paper
Is written a q account. curious ia these
