NP.777.006
3 Mar 1777:32 (4/179)
Beneath this humble sod lie Captain Adams.  Lieutenant
Culbertson, and 2 privates of the 6th Pennsylvania
battalions, not Hirelings-----but----patriots.
They fell not in battle; but unarm'd,
Were basely murder'd, and inhumanly scalp'd,
By the barbarous emissaries of the once just,
But now abandon'd King of Britain.
