General James Varnum
| When he moved in, General James Varnum used one
room as both living quarters and brigade headquarters, and even held
general courts martial. The owners, David and Elizabeth Stephens and
their family, were allowed to remain in the rest of the house. A
large portion of their farmland was used for the Grand Parade. When Varnum's hut was completed, he joined his Rhode Island and Connecticut brigades hutted on both sides of the road near the Stephens' home. |
