  10. ↑ On September 11, 1777, Washington encountered General William
    Howe's army at the Battle of Brandywine. As the battle ensued
    and the casualties mounted, Washington soon realized that he
    was hopelessly outnumbered and poorly supplied to resume the
    fight. He wisely decided to withdraw, saving his men to "fight
    another day". During his retreat, Washington and his staff
    officers stopped at the Rice farm and asked Abigail if they
    could have some water. She sent one of her daughters to
    retrieve a pitcher of water from their well, to which she added
    some sugar, spices, and rum, making a drink that was popularly
    known as "flip". Abigail handed the drink to him and said,
    "Here, my Lord." Washington quickly replied, "We have no
    titles here, we are all brothers." As General Washington drank
    this beverage, Abigail's five-year-old daughter, Susannah,
    approached him. Washington smiled, picked her up, and sat her
    on his knee while he finished his drink. For Abigail's
    contributions during the war, there is a chapter of the
    Daughters of the American Revolution in her name in Washington,
    DC. There is also a plaque in her honor in the Bell Tower at
    Valley Forge.
  11. ↑ "Royal Union" was captained by Commander Clement Nicholson of
    Rotterdam, fomerly of Clowes. Her father's name was located in
    the ship's passenger list, which only listed males.
