Destruction of Motte Home and Civil Heroism Recited
An account recounts Mrs Motte guiding surrender of her property to aid American forces. Arson by a bow and arrows device failed to stop the British assault as Mrs Motte, her family, and allies evacuated. The episode is praised for patriotic sacrifice and moral grandeur, with local accounts of later prison and social reactions.
