From the recollections of my four greats grandfather James Noble, I copied the following: "... During this summer we stormed Stoney Point and took possession of the Fort and its property and about five hundred prisoners. During the storming of this Fort General Wayne was wounded and Major Flavie (?) took command. After the Battle was over the major ordered the British Flag to be took down and he said Noble had the honour and satisfaction of taking it down himself..." I have several pages of his war experiences if anyone is interested, I can copy them. I cannot scan them into e-mail because they are on legal size paper, and, in addition, they are very difficult to read. You can e-mail me your snail mail address. Donna
