Another active captain was Jedediah Swan, already mentioned, who lived west of the Scotch Plains church and organized a company in that vicinity, which, however, also had several men from the present Plainfield, including Peter Covert. This company fought at Long Island, and Recompence Stanbery, the Captain's brother-in-law, was severly wounded there. Stanbery later joined Laing's company and, still later, Capt. Samuel Meeker's Light Horse.
