The skirmishes about Fort Number Eight continued. In January, 1782, the Americans raided Morrisania once more, but again they failed to capture Colonel DeLancey. 889 959 In the following month a similar raid was made, but with a similar result. 260
In March, 1782, Captain Hunnewell and Major Woodbridge led an attack upon DeLancey's camp near the Archer house. In General Heath's words :361 "The horse proceeded down between the British fort Number Eight and the cantonment of DeLancey's corps, and having turned the cantonment between daybreak and sunrise (March 4, 1782), they entered pell-
-49-
mell." The British were taken completely by surprise. The alarm gun at Fort Number Eight was fired, but, before rein- forcements could be collected, the Americans had moved off towards East Chester.>>389 Ten days later they turned up at Mile Square, on the height east of the Hudson River and north of Fort Independence, 383
These were the last movements of any importance about King's Bridge and Fort Number Eight. Heath records334 that the British were demolishing their works at Fort Number Eight on November 20, 1782. The earthworks were still dis- tinctly visible when the house now standing on the site of the fort was built in 1857.
Peace was assured at the end of 1782, but the other works were left garrisoned till the following year. In July, 1783, the embarkation of British troops for England and Nova Scotia began;365 but not till November of that year were the British and Hessian troops withdrawn from the northern end of the island of New York. 886 Of these, parts of the following regiments had probably been at one time or another during the past seven years stationed at Fort Number Eight, as is shown by the buttons brought to light in digging on the site of the fort in 1857:
8th Regiment.
17th Regiment, in June, 1781, encamped below Cock Hill. Sent to Nova Scotia, 1783.387
33d Regiment, commanded by Lord Cornwallis, assisted at the assault on Laurel Hill, 1776. Sent to Nova Scotia, 1783.353
37th Regiment English Musketeers, commanded by Sir Eyre Coote, August 1781, encamped east of McGowan's Pass. Sent to Nova Scotia, 1783.388
38th Regiment. Returned to England, 1783.370
45th Regiment.
"R. P." "Erbprinz " Regiment (?)
74th Regiment. Returned to England, 1783.371
76th Scotch Regiment. In November, 1780, stationed at Prince Charles Redoubt, King's Bridge. Transferred to Laurel Hill a month later. Returned to England, 1783.372
By November 25, 1783, all British troops had left New York, and General Knox with a detachment of American
-50-
troops crossed King's Bridge and entered the city,"7" 378 the first to do so since the hasty evacuation by Washington seven years before.
Peace had been practically established since the spring of 1783, and the Archers and other Westchester farmers could now resume their peaceful vocations, and were rid for all time of their unwelcome guests.
