[* While the fort was being constructed a force of carpenters was set at work tearing down the church, which stood where the present First Presbyterian Church now stands, and the material was used in building the fort. Lumber in barns and other buildings was also taken for the purpose. Apple orchards were cut down and fences levelled in all direction and used on the fort. The fort was built in about 15 days. It faced the north, about five rods front, with a gate in the middle. The works, including huts for the soldiers, occupied about two acres of ground. The tombstones, which were dug up, went into the construction of the fort for fireplaces and ovens and it is a tradition that loaves came out of these ovens with the reversed inscription on the tombstones on the lower crust. These out- rageous acts were principally committed after peace had been determined upon by Great Britian and this country .- C. R. S.]

[ NOTE .- "Near the center of the village of Huntington there is a hill of considerable elevation, forming the northern termi- nus of a range of hills coming from the South. It commands a fine view of the harbor, bay and sound and the distant shores of Connecticut. This hill had been consecrated ground, for all around its sloping sides to the crown of the eminence were the graves of the ancestors of the inhabitants. It had been the principal burying ground in the town for more than a hundred years, and was well occupied with graves, a large portion of which were marked by tombstones. It was upon this spot, sacred to the tenderest sentiments of the human heart, that Col. Thompson decided to erect his fort, and he chose the highest part of the hill, where some traces of the work may yet be seen. Probably nothing could have been done by the British soldiers at this period to so profoundly move the peo- ple to anger and grief as this horrid sacrilege and when, on the 26th day of November, the order went forth from the com- manding General, directing the inhabitants to come with their spades, axes, and teams and commence the work of desecra- tion, we may well imagine there was a fiery indignation kin- dled in the hearts of the people, which neither time nor cir- cumstance, nor ought else than death could ever quench."- From the History of Huntington by Charles R. Street in Munsel & Co.'s History of Suffolk County, page 43.]

[DESCRIPTION OF THE FORT.]


[1782, Dec. 8.]


Information by D. M., an inhabitant of Stamford.


On the Ist Dec., he was at Huntington passing for an inhabitant, and passed within 4 rods of the front of the Fort which faces the north. It is about 5 rods in front with a gate in the middle, it extends a considerable distance north and south ; the works were altogether of earth, about six foot high, no pickets or any other obstruction to the works, except a sort of ditch, which was very inconsidera- ble some brush like small trees fixed on the top of the

works, in a perpendicular form ; he was told it encom- passed near 2 acres of ground. It is built on a rising ground, and takes in the burying-ground ; the Meeting house they have pulled down. The troops consist of Thompson's regiment, the remains of the Queen's Rangers and the Legion, being 550 effective ; they are quartered as compact as possible in the inhabitants houses and barns, and some hutted along the sides of the Fort, which makes one side of the fort. The inhabitants of Huntington do suffer exceedingly from the treatment they receive from the troops, who say the inhabitants of that County are all Rebels, and therefore they care not how they suffer.
