    "In 1780, Governor Tryen, commander of the royal troops in NY, was sending the traitor Arnold to harass the Connecticut coast. Sergeant Jabez Fox raised a small company of men to assist General Putnam in the defense of the border. His nephew William was one of the party. The little company of twelve men were attached by a largely superior force of British and Tory cavalry.

    Sergeant Fox and his men were in a brick schoolhouse where they defended themselves, killing six of the attacking force. Their ammunition finally ran out and they escaped thru a back window and ran across a field to a swamp. Sergeant Fox was the last to leave the house and was overtaken by the Tory leader, Captain Finch. Fox had been acquainted with him and asked quarter, calling Finch by name, but the merciless Tory called him a damned rebel and cut him down with his sabre. The sword, coat and hat of the unfortunate are still preserved in the Boston Atheneum. It was a round top hat and fitted tight to the head and has three slashes in it made by the sword of the Tory."
