Whitall's House at Red Bank

“South of the fort a short distance was a brick house with ‘I.A.W. 1748’ on one of the gables, the initials standing for James and Anna Whitall. The house had been built twenty-nine years. Mr. Whitall lived there with his wife and family. He was a Quaker, and a good Whig. Seeing that the battle was about to begin, he and his wife left the house; but his mother, an old lady, would not leave."—Coffin, 1879
