We have an original letter dated "Plymouth, Nov. 26, 1777," telling of military actions around Philadelphia in October 1777. It was written to Thomas Rodman of Fishkill, N.Y., from a New York soldier, Nathaniel Tom, who was from Flushing, N.Y., but who died and was buried in South Dover, Dutchess County, in 1784. Thomas Rodman was Nathaniel Tom's wife's uncle, and I think they were Quakers. Where was "Plymouth," where Nathaniel Tom was recovering from sickness when he wrote this letter? I doubt that he was in Massachusetts. There is a "Plymouth Hill" in Dutchess County. Was there also a village or community named Plymouth, in Queens County if not Dutchess County?
