Mosier repeatedly gave out that if another shot was fired the offender would be Killed instantly. Strang was taken across a horse by the Refugees to Josiah Fowlers, Kept there, and a flag was sent up for his body. In moving from Merritt's corner to Brundage's field the Refugees and Mosier's men were in sight of each other all the way being less than a quarter of a mile (about sixty rods) from each other.

About the end of the war six or seven Cowboys came up from Morrisania, went to the house of John Lewis in North Street where Captain Gedney afterwards lived, and in the night demanded admittance -- the door being barred. They swore they would shoot V. unless the door was unbarred, but he refused, having his gun W. They then fired through the door, and two

balls passed through Lewis's body who dropped down dead. The Refugees were on their return from above, and they then went down to W. Cariharts, a Quaker who lived below Timothy Purdy's, and robbed [marg: Saxton] his house. Then they went through Saxton's woods to Benjamin Cornell's in Maroneck whom they whipped and extorted money from. After leaving Cornell's house they were overtaken by a party from above who had pursued them to regain the plunder, and all the cowboys, but one were killed. Soon after this John White (Israel's father) and a party of three or four went below to East Chester and New Rochelle and plundered a great quantity of bedding, clothes &c. They were all on horseback, but were pursued by the Refugees and were overtaken last of Abijah Haviland's or the Buckley farm, near Sandy Brook in Purchase Street. All made their escape but White who was overtaken and shot off his horse just as he had crossed the brook.
