Crompond Corner
Crompond Rd, corner Old Yorktown Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY
Crompond Corner is mentioned in the accounts of Major Andre's attempt to reach the British lines overland. He encountered Capt. Ebenezer Foote at Strang's Tavern in this location.
Just a little further along his route (Hand in "Westchester Treasure Hunt" says near the intersection of Crompond Rd and Granite Springs Rd) Andre encountered Col. Samuel Webb, a patriot he had met in New York when Webb was a POW. Andre went unrecognized though this day.
