Notes

He with some other soldiers were taken prisoner by the British, and put on an island in the Ohio river guarded by 4 British soldiers. He suggested to his fellow soldiers that they make a break for liberty, but they didn't dare make the attempt. Stephen overpowered the 4 guards, took their guns and threw them into the water, and swam ashore and escaped.
