Aaron Barr S FIRST Love.

New York when, with the rest OF the
English army, her father. Colonel Mon

he was in command of a regiment

was dated from his quarters on Staten
Island. stated that the Colonels mother

daughters would welcome her as one OF

was captivated, and Major Burr fell

slowed on any who admired them.
