"In the afternoon more than 70 soldiers arrived, passing through our neighborhood on their way to join the Army which is gathering on the frontier to meet the Indians.
They camped about a half a mile from town on the road to Friedberg and stayed for two
days, during which time they made many visits to the town, but their behavior was quiet and orderly. The officers took up their quarters in our Tavern.
On Wednesday morning they marched away, through our town and through Bethabara." -- Diary entry for January 20, 1793.
