Interview with Hopkins, James
Clapp's about half a mile below, -- Clapp's Tavern was a great place for Head quarters of the officers.
A great many Irish among Moylan's regiment which at one time was very ragged. They (the soldiers) then said that their rags would frighten the British.
I still think that Colonel Benjamin Green was not at the capture of DeLancey's horses, but that Tim Knapp was. It was sometime afterwards that they hanged Tim Knapp -- I think the next season -- perhaps the next Spring.
Steven Hunt of DeLancey's was at the Mosier combat. He told me that after Mosier's men had fired, the Refugees went [inter: out] of gunshot and consulted &c Some were for
causing half the troops to dismount and make a fresh attack, but the Commander Hunt or Kipp said: "You see they are determined men, and most of you are married, and our loss will be too great," Jo Mosier said a great many swords were left behind, dropped by the dragoons, when their horses were rearing and plunging in consequence of their wounds. While the Refugees were deliberating Mosier's party gave three cheers for victory, and withdrew to the woods fearing an advance of a party of foot to support the horses of their antagonists.
The Stock[bridge] Indians passing passed my father's which was the first house north of Smith's Tavern Steve Hunt then belonged to [strikethrough: Emmerick] Emmerick's, and said that Emmerick
exclaimed to the men after they had defended the Indians: "Ah, very fine men! -- very fine men!" When the men dodged he said: "You must'nt do so -- It's no use -- What do you dodge for?"
