(New Barbadoes Neck in Rev. War Days" Hay/de Yoe p.1) During the Revolution, this area suffered as raiding parties of both sides combed Bergen County for food and material. It's proximity to Staten Island made it especially vulnerable. Letters from George Washington illustrate this:Washington, on July 10, 1778 noted "a quantity of fat cattle and sheep in a district called Barbadoes neck, which by their situation are exceedingly exposed to the enemy and are besides the property of persons disaffected to the United States". It was decided to immediately "commence the Forage of Barbadoes Neck and as far up as Polifly".("New Barbadoes Neck in the Rev. War Days" Hay/de Yoe p.7) An undated letter from Washington gives an idea of the effect of "the Forage" by both sides : "Some brigades of the army have been 5 days without meat. To endeavor to relieve their wants by stripping the lower parts of the county of its cattle ,I moved two days ago to this place(Liberty Pole , Bergen) and yesterday completely foraged Barbadoes and Bergen Neck.Scarcely any cattle were found, but milch cows, and calves of one and two years old, and even these in no great quantity"(Old Bergen NJ" Van Winkle p.113) 1 Kevin Riley is a descendant. Deeds from 1803 mention land owned by John Collerd on Communipaw Lane in Bergen Twp. (Bergen County Deeds book S -supplied by Pat Wardell at Genweb Archives)
