On December 10, 1778, the village of Cherry Valley in Central New York was destroyed by 700 Tories and Indians. About fifty inhabitants were murdered without regard to age or sex. Many persons of refinement were among the victims. Such atrocities as this and that of Wyoming thoroughly incensed the colonist against Tory methods of warfare.
