Notes:
A DAR PATRIOT. Served as Quartermaster Sargeant from Pennsylvania inthe
American Revolutionary War. He was raised on the same farm as hisfather and
grandfather. He, with his two sons, were taken prisoner along with 21others,
by the English and Indian forces who had captured Freeland's Fort andall it's
occupants. The prisoners were marched across country to the Lakes,thence to
Quebec (Canada), where they remained until the close of the war.Cornelius was
held in irons for a period of 18 month and he carried the scars ofthe
Brittish fetters on his ankles for the remaining years of his life.Also
died; 12 JUL 1812. Also born; at Newark Township.
He was one of the Defenders of Freeland's Fort in July 1779, when it
capitulated to the combined forces of the attacking English andIndians, in
order to save the women's and children's lives. On Warrior's Run,during the
Revolution, was situated Freeland's fort, memorable for the sceneswhich
occured at its capture, in the early part of Autumn. In an oldpioneer's
expression it was about the time peaches were ripe in 1778. Thefollowing
account of that event was received in conversation with the agedMr.Cobenhoven
of Lycoming County; and another gentlemen, a descendant of Mr.Vincent, who
was captured at the fort:
Rumors had been received at Fort Muncy (near Pennsborough), whereColonel
Hepburn, afterwards Judge Hepburn, was commanding, that a hostileforce of
British and Indians might be soon expected down the west branch.
To obtain more definate information, Robert Covenhoven, who was thenacting as
a guide and scout for the garrison, was sent out to the mountainsabove
Ralston, on the headwaters of the Lycoming creek and Tioga river. Hewas
offered one or more companions but preferred to go alone. He knewevery defile
in the wilderness, and he could better elude observation alone thanwith
several men, who might not follow his counsel.
He travelled all night and when he arrived among the mountains, heheard at
least 100 shots from the enemy encamped there, who were cleaning theirguns.
Without rest, and with no more food than he could eat as he ran, hereturned
immediately, and reported a large force approaching.
Robert King also brought down word from Lycoming Creek, that Furguson,with a
party who had gone up to cut hay, had been attacked by Indians, andthree men
had been killed.
Also born at Newark.
