Most of Lincoln's army melts away in…
February 1787 CE
In the meantime some one hundred and twenty rebels have regrouped in New Lebanon, New York, and on February 27 they cross the border.
Marching first on Stockbridge, a major market town in the southwestern corner of the state, they raid the shops of merchants and the homes of merchants and local professionals.
This comes to the attention of Brigadier John Ashley, who musters a force of some eighty men, and catches up with the rebels in nearby Sheffield late in the day.
In the bloodiest encounter of the rebellion, thirty rebels are wounded (one mortally), at least one government soldier is killed, and many are wounded.
Ashley, who is further reinforced after the encounter, reports taking one hundred and fifty prisoners.
