While the guns were not used in the battle, the skill of the artillery detachment soldiers was used to turn the captured guns at the Stony Point fort upon the British on the opposite shore of the North (Hudson) River and upon the British Naval ships in the River driving them out of range of the captured fort. I have not seen this reference before and thought that there might be a descendant or two who would find the information an addition to their collection. Best regards, Hugh >>
