This Day in Pelham History
August 27

08/27/1776 - According to General Heath, two ships and a brig came to anchor a little above "Frog Point" [Throgg's Neck].  Col. Graham with his regiment was detached immediately to prevent their landing to plunder or burn.  Before Col. Graham arrived, several barges full of men landed on City Island, then a part of Pelham.  They killed a number of cattle.  Two companies of Col. Graham's men ferried to the Island, but the enemy carried off one man and fourteen cattle.
