    3. Thanks Farnworth, That Battle of Bennington Vt article even had an illustration of where Hessian Lt. Col Baum and Tory Col. Francis Von Pfister passed away from their motal wounds!!! A John Armstrong carried Baum, but it isn't known who carried Pfister from the Battlesite to this house (previous records describe passing in a stable). Col. Von Pfister was the son-in-law of John Gordon MACOMB (aka McCOMB) captured at the Battle of Bennington, and now know went before Chittenden at the Catamount Tavern in Bennington VT, and not Albany NY as previously thought. Pfister's children where raised by British Lt. Thomas Bennett and daughter Ann MACOMB, a future British Commandant of Fort Detroit (post De Peyster). These children would eventually be raised in NYC., living with Alexander MACOMB Sr's family. Found another article in this databae, that also sheds light on near future events of John Gordon MACOMB after his subsequent escape (ie Burgoyne and Saratoga at Fort Edwards). These events speak to a recorded payroll dispute that by timeline occured the day John Macomb arrived at Fort Edwards (ref: memorial and letters). It was very interesting to note that 6 pages had been torn from British General Burgoynes journal post Fort Edward.. Excellent find!!!
