ncident with additional particulars. Her story was that at the time
she and her little boy were taken prisoners, her husband was killed by
the savages; that she had lived with the Indians some two years, and
when the army entered the town, the day before, the Indians were in
such haste to get out it that she could not follow them and finally
lost herself in the woods, and thinking it might be Butler's camp she
had ventured to show herself. She was taken to the General's Quarters
and well provided for. During the march the woman and her boy were
furnished with a horse. On the third day of the march the child was
taken sick and shortly after died. The boy was wrapped in an old
blanket and hastily buried. The scene is described as exceedingly
touching. She afterward married Roswell Franklin, the first settler of
Cayuga County.

[103] No account has been found of the exact route taken by this
detachment. It is supposed they followed the regular Indian trail, the
line of which was afterward substantially adopted for the Seneca
Turnpike, which passed through Auburn and Onondaga Hill to Fort
Stanwix on the Mohawk, on the site of present Rome in Oneida County.
On the way the party passed through the Oneida and Tuscarora towns,
where every mark of hospitality and friendship was shown the party.
They reached Fort Stanwix on the 25th.

palisaded work at the junction of Newtown creek and the Chemung just
below Sullivan's Mills in Elmira, called in some accounts Fort Reid.

[107] There were five brigades.

[108] At the same time news was received of "the generous proceedings
of Congress in augmenting the subsistence of the officers and men."

[109] Thirteen appropriate toasts were drunk. The last was follows:
"May the enemies of America be metamorphosed into pack horses and sent
on a western expedition against the Indians."--_Lossing's Field Book
Rev., I, 278, note._
