Wow, this is all very useful, thank you so much! :)
The boys are now in NYC (if it was City then, heh, in the "rural" part of Manhattan...), but they are about to travel some 40 miles south-west to New Brunshwick, where Gen. Howe is stationed (if I get all those Brunshwicks right, that is). Year 1776, shortly after NY was captured by the Brits, and just before the first major loss of British army at Trenton. They will go much farther north next winter...
I know there should be some data, memoirs maybe on the net, but digging through all that is quite a challenge, so I'll just go with my imagination.
