PLUNDERERS AND VANDALS IN BLOOMFIELD.
Detachments of the British troops made their way into what is now Bloomfield from the neighborhood of Second River over the Newtown road, now Belleville avenue, and probably along the old Bloomfield road from Newark over Franklin hill. The troops, or the cowboys, as the camp followers (the Sherman's bummers of their time were called) plundered many of the people, carrying off goods by the cart full. Years afterwards the people filed claims against the State for their losses at that time. There seems to have been comparatively little violence in that section, although later parties of young men made assaults upon the enemy and Tory refugees in Bergen, partly to wreak vengeance for the losses of their families for the thievery and vandalism of those days late in November, 1776.
