Here is a bit more about the Crooked Billet as an ancestor of mine is said to have kept a tavern with that name at this location. This is what I have in my notes which will give some idea of the area where the battle was, I guess. Burnis Argo "John McFarren settled at a place known as "The Crooked Billet" where he kept a public house or tavern so named because a crooked billet or stick of wood was placed above the door as a sign to indicate that it was a place of entertainment. The location of this "Crooked Billet" was supposed, by his great-grandson James McFarren, from whom the information comes, to have been on the west side of the Schuylkill River and not far from where the Centennial Exposition of 1876 was held. "William McFarren Farrar, editor of The McFarren Memorial wrote in the appendix: "I am fully satisfied this place was in Bucks County, PA. Davis' History of Bucks Co, PA located a Crooked Billet in that county. Mr. J. Warren S. Dey, New York, was of the same opinion . I sent him a copy of the 'Memorial.' In acknowledging its receipt he says the 'Crooked Billet' was a settlement in Bucks County, where one of the battles of the Revolution was fought and this makes me believe that it was your grandfather (William McFarren) and none other referred to as an 'Ensign.' This belief on his part was afterwards verified by the records."
