... Gen Washington and Gen La Fayette were with our regiments at one time. I refer to Col. Davis ... to prove this true.
At Oxford on the 20th or thereabout of July 1781, I enlisted into a company of foot commanded by Joel Hotchkiss, Samuel Porter Lieutenant, Henry Tomlinson Ensign for three months and on 20 July 1781 I left Oxford with some others and joined the company at West Point, New York.

2B. H. Davis, Reminiscences of Oxford Homes and People (Seymour Record - 1913), Chapter 10. . " A short distance farther we come to the ruins of what was once the Capt. Dwinel Chatfield place. This house was built in the early part of the 18th century, the land being given to Mr. Chatfield by Chauncey Hatch providing that he build a house and pay the taxes as long as the house should remain occupied by him, or any other parties as long as the house was occupied. Mr. Chatfield was a blacksmith. He built a shop opposite the house and at that time was the only blacksmith in Oxford and did a thriving business for nearly forty years, until he was obliged on account of old age and infirmities to retire. He died about the year 1853, at the age of 75 years. After his death the place was occupied for many years by Michael Flim, who still continued to pay the taxes, until his death some years ago when it was purchased by Raymond Perry, of Oxford, who dismantled the old house rather than pay taxes on worthless property.
The old shop, the house and the barn, all have fallen to decay and nothing remains of one of Oxford's oldest land marks." http://www.our-oxford.info/davis-reminiscences/Davis-10.html.
