Vaux Hill; Fatland Hall - a photo on Flickriver

            Removed from the city environment, James also took quite a different view of the Revolutionary War than his brother, aligning himself with the Patriots. Vaux Hill was a central location for a small portion of the Revolution in September 1777, immediately following the Battle of Brandywine. Both American and British forces occupied the farm, and both George Washington and General Howe rested in Vaux's home on separate nights. During the battle, the British plundered much of Vaux's farm.
