[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] When Brant visited England in 1776 he was received at court with marked distinction, and Romney painted bis picture in full war costume. From this likeness some line engravings had been published, ami the general (for he was breveted a general after the war) had at the manor-house a framed copy of this portrait, still in the possession of one of the family. The moment that the conviction "this is Brant" crossed bis mind, he rose and quietly left the church, and, walking after the stranger, accosted him by name. Brant replied politely, but expressed surprise that he should be recognized in that neighborhood. The general introduced himself, and, After the retreat of the Indian force Colonel Van Cortlandt joined Sullivan, who ordered him to con-struct a road to Wilkesbarre, a duty for which his early training as a surveyor fitted hint. Here he awaited the arrival of Sullivan, who marched over the road with Maxwell's and Poor's brigades, and at Newtown, (now Elmira), they joined the main body under Gen eral James Clinton. There Butler and Brant had made a stand. " I requested < 5-eneral CI in tun to permit me to charge with bayonet as soon as I gained the heights on the Hank of the Indians; he consented, and I ordered the charge to be made, he leading the First Regiment and I the Second, which ended the battle in five minutes.
