From the Westchester County Historical Society catalog:
Susan Valentine Vredenburgh (1756-1854) was a daughter of Abraham Valentine and Deborah Barton. Although John Macdonald refers to her as Susanna Vredenburg, it appears that her first name was actually Susan. Mrs. Vredenburgh begins her interview by noting that she was a schoolmate of interviewee Joshua DeVoe, and that she had to assist him after he suffered epileptic fits. She tells a dramatic story of how Grace Isaacs Babcock refused to give a mourning ring that commemorated her late husband, the Reverend Luke Babcock, to a robber. She also notes that the Loyalist Captain Benjamin Ogden of DeLancey’s Refugees had his cattle and horses plundered several times. Mrs. Vredenburgh concludes her interview by providing descriptions of Sarah Williams (sister-in-law of Frederick Philipse III, Lord of Philipsburg Manor), Anna Fowler, and Fowler’s fiancée, Hessian Captain Carl von Rau, who was mortally wounded before the couple was able to marry. John Macdonald adds a postscript to the interview in which he notes that Mrs. Vredenburgh’s son showed him a sword said to have been carried by Westchester Guide Abraham “Brom” Dyckman when he was mortally wounded.
