One girl divulged that her grandfather was sitting on his porch one evening when a man, dressed in the uniform of a Revolutionary War soldier, and with one arm bandaged, galloped up to the door. He pleaded with her grandfather to be allowed into the cellar where he claimed a murdered comrade was buried. Out of curiosity, the grandfather was about to let him in when the soldier and horse disappeared. One boy, who knew the owner of the Verre- burgh Tavern, recounted how one night the owner saw a soldier dash up to his barn on a lathered horse, jump off, water the horse and then enter the barn. The owner grabbed a lantern, raced into the barn-it was empty! Another spun a yarn about a soldier who stopped at a shack in a lonely section of the Bush where an old man and his wife lived. In the course of the evening, the soldier said he was carrying a large sum of money. That night, while he slept, the old couple killed him. Going through his belongings, they found not only his money, but the fact that he was their long lost son. One sleigh rider pointed out the route that a French spy, in 1757, traveled, seeking infor mation about defenses. He probably passed many taverns which have been known by various names Perhaps he stopped at the Two Mile House, also dubbed the Sandburgh and Christie's Tavern which would be located today near the intersection of Manning Boulevard and Central Avenue. Next came McKown's Tavern or the Five Mile House The Seven Mile House was ,also called the Verre burgh Tavern, Halfway House, and the Corpora tion Tavern. All that remains of it today is a fenced excavation area beneath the first overhead crossing on the Thruway just west of the Washing ton Avenue exit. Further along was the Widow Truax Tavern, and then, the Isaac Truax Tavern on Kings Road before Schenectady. With the coming of the Turnpike in 1800 the use of taverns diminished. Gone were the spies, Tories, trappers, Indians, and finally even all traces of the taverns themselves. No one then knew that bullets, with nails driven into them to provide more death dealing power, clay pipes pieces of crockery, coins dating back to the six teenth century would one day be all that was left to give future generations just a small hint of the once glamorous period of long passed days
