[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] Captain Boyd of Sheldon's Regiment of Light Dragoons, who, it is said, although shown their pass from Arnold, suspected them, and recommended them to stop at the tavern of Andreas Miller in such significant tones, that they did not dare to refuse. In this tavern, tradition says, they passed a very restless night, and having been permitted to continue their journey started away just before dawn. They passed through Crompond, and, as elsewhere narrated, took breakfast about a mile south of Yorktown station. Smith's story of his trip with Andre does not accord with the statement given above. He said that five or six miles below Verplanck's Point they met a patrol, and were challenged by Captain Bull. T ? bis advice they returned several miles to a tavern kept by a man named McKov. The former account agrees more generally with tradition, however, and judged in the light of their subsequent movements, seems the more probable. The tavern has been torn down. It stood near the spot upon which is located a blacksmith shop at present, about two miles west of Crompond on the main road to Peekskill. About a mile south of the village of Yorktown, on the road to Pine's Bridge, is located a little old house, the eaves of which, on the northern side, are only five or six feet above the ground. At this place, on the morning of the 23d of September, 1780, Major John Andre, in company with Joshua Hett Smith, while on his way to the British lines, stopped to take breakfast.
