Doty, reports, on the authority of Ichabod Murray and Daniel Murray, that when the Revolutionary army was lying before Saratoga, a call was made for one hundred volunteers for a dangerous service, Lieutenant Reuben Doty commanded and Ichabod Murray was one of the party. They marched by a circuitous route to the rear of Burgoyne's army, where, the second morning after leaving their camp, just before daylight, they burned his stores and mills. They then made the circuit of the British Army and brought into their own camp twenty-one prisoners of whom six were officers, besides twenty-one horses and twenty cows." Reuben Doty died at Pike about 1820, being 75 years old.
