P033 - Plan of the area of Bordentown and the Lewis Mill
Item Description
The mill of Lieutenant Colonel William Lewis is shown on Black's Creek in the lower part of the plan. Bordentown appears in the lower right-hand corner, with references to the direction of the drawbridge and the location of two 6-pounders along the bank of the Delaware River. The roads above lead to Black Horse (now Columbus), Bustleton, and Burlington. Ewald's plan shows Captain von Wreden quartered at the Field Tavern ("Miss Witfield house"), with two 3-pounders mounted in a work below to cover the river.
