Representing Sir Guy was General Campbell and Andrew Elliot (who was to take over as NY’s Tory lieutenant governor for a short time) and General Washington sent Generals Heath and Knox. Washington had met Andrew Elliot before in Tappan two years earlier when Sir Henry Clinton had made one last try to save Major Andre from hanging; Elliot was one of the team sent to plead with Washington."

  2. " Spring 1983 edition of The Genealogist, currently published by the American Society of Genealogists. This is one of a series of articles that trace the lineage of the De Windt families of the West Indies. So far, this is the only compiled genealogy I have run across from the Virgin Islands. ... I found lots of great pointers and ideas just from the notes. The series was begun in V3 No1 (1982), then V4 No1 (1983), then two articles in V6 No 1 (1985) and completed in V10 No2 (1989). Back issues are available for $15 each. The ASG website currently has a special for Volumes 1-10, comprising 20 issues (2 per volume) and two special issues for $40 post-paid. http://fasg.org/TheGenealogist.html "
