Immediately southwest of the campsite occupied by the 2d Maryland
Brigade in 1779-80 (No. 14), on the same side of the Jockey Hollow Road,
stands the Bettin Oak. Near the base of this old tree is the traditional
grave of Capt. Adam Bettin, who was killed on New Year’s Night 1781,
during the mutiny of the Pennsylvania Line, then encamped nearby under
command of Brig. Gen. Anthony Wayne (pp. 27-28). Defensive works for the
protection of Wayne’s camp were erected on Fort Hill, which rises to the
eastward of this point. Nothing is left of these fortifications today.
