Some More Information On the Battle of Caulk's Field

I'd never heard of it the engagement, small as it was, before so did some Wiki-ing and found out these items:

**  Caulk's house still stands on the battlefield.

**  A monument was erected to the battle in 1902.

**  Captain Parker's body was preserved in a barrel of whiskey and sent back to England.  (Talk about your pickling.)

**  The British suffered 14 Marines killed and 27 wounded.

**  One of the Kent County American militia men was Ezekial Foreman Chambers who was later a judge and a U.S. senator.
