2. This was the number of permitted women—the other women of the army were to go on the shipping to New York City. However, entries in the British orderly books make it clear that many women left the shipping and followed the army on its march. See New York Historical Society, Journals of Lieut.-Col. Stephen Kemble, 1773-1789; and British Army Orders . . .. (Boston: Gregg Press, 1972), pp. 595, 596, 598.
