Peter:
I am very interested in events in this area, too, and am finding information difficult to locate. All I have on this battle is a chapter photocopied from Vernon Leslie's book, The Battle of the Minisink. In that chapter the correspondence of Col. John Hathorn lists only 21 men missing: Lt. Col. Thurston, Capts. Jones, Wood, Little, and Capt. Duncan with 12 of his privates. He lists also Adjutant Finch, Ensign Wood and a private he did not name. It is my guess that Leslie may have offered a more detailed list in his book. If you find anything more about this subject, let me know. I am collecting source material from this region and era. Perhaps we can swap information.
