1. GW’s headquarters by this date was at Ann Fisher Miller’s house about two miles north of the courthouse at White Plains (see General Orders, 23 Oct., n.1).

2. “Williams’ Diary,” 49:58, reads: “The representation made of the conduct of Colo Webbs Regt.” During the Battle of White Plains on the previous day, Col. Charles Webb’s 19th Continental Regiment, which was part of Gen. Alexander McDougall’s brigade, occupied the left end of the American line on Chatterton’s Hill and repulsed an enemy attempt to move around that flank and seize the Dobbs Ferry road (see Hufeland, Westchester County description begins Otto Hufeland.

Webb’s regiment had three to five men killed and eight men wounded during the battle (see Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in the Army, 1 Nov., in Force, American Archives description begins Peter Force, ed. American Archives. 9 vols. Washington, D.C., 1837–53. description ends , 5th ser., 3:471–74; and the casualty returns for Ward’s regiment and McDougall’s brigade, 23 Nov., ibid., 725–26, 729–30). McDougall also accused the enlisted men of Col. John Haslet’s Delaware Regiment of misbehavior at the Battle of White Plains although he admitted that the officers properly did their duty during the fighting. For Haslet’s vigorous defense of his men, see his letter to Caesar Rodney of 12–19 Nov. in Ward, Delaware Continentals description begins Christopher L. Ward. The Delaware Continentals, 1776–1783.
