He was engaged in the battles of White Plains, Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Monmouth, and Germanton, and remained in the Northern Army under General Washington until some time in the year 1779, when, his health failing, he was sent into the country.

Lucy would often devote a page or more of her letters to recalling the comforts of her own room at Yardley, so different from what she was enduring at Trenton, and longing for them to come again. Parts of these letters Jane read to the doctor, and all of them to Martha, who received them with varying comment.
"How do you know that?" asked Miss Sommerton, turning quickly towards him: "you have never seen any of my sketches." "Ah, well," stammered Trenton, "no that is you know are not those water-colours in Mason's house yours?" "Mr. Mason has some of my sketches. I didn't know you had seen them."
