Battle of Princeton
The rangers at Morristown National Historical Park advise Jacob Jr. was not at the Battle of Princeton (January 3, 1777). He was at the Second Battle of Trenton (January 2, 1777) and others and was noted that the militia under his command was allowed to respond to British attacks nearby in conjunction with the Continental Army. This coordination was not commonplace. The cannon that was captured at the Battle of Princeton is on display at the museum on the property of the Ford Mansion along with other field guns of the era.
