<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 6304476, member: 33&quot;]George Washington was in Cambridge, Massachusetts in September 1775. I can&#039;t tell for sure what the surname of the captain of volunteers was. Looks like Hawens, but it might not be spelled correctly. Maybe Hawkens or something?</p><p><br /></p><p>In September 1776 Washington&#039;s headquarters were on Manhattan island in New York, first in what is now Greenwich Village, then in the middle of the month he set up his headquarters in a mansion in what is now Harlem. The mansion is now a museum:</p><p><a href="https://morrisjumel.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://morrisjumel.org/" rel="nofollow">https://morrisjumel.org/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>However, your document says it was written &quot;In the field&quot; which doesn&#039;t help much. I found his whereabouts that month in a piece published in American Heritage last year It is very detailed. <a href="https://www.americanheritage.com/george-washington-september-11-1776#1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.americanheritage.com/george-washington-september-11-1776#1" rel="nofollow">https://www.americanheritage.com/george-washington-september-11-1776#1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the historical facts of his whereabouts don&#039;t prove anything, and they also don&#039;t disprove that your documents could be authentic. I agree with [USER=147]@Marie Forjan[/USER] that you should have an expert look at them in person.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
