Marker on South Finley Avenue

Additional Description: During the retreat across New Jersey in December 1776, Gen. Charles Lee chose to place his troops near Morristown rather than join Washington on the west side of the Delaware River. While sleeping in the tavern of the Widow White, Lee was taken prisoner by troops of Gen. Charles Cornwallis. The removal of Lee, a frequent critic of Washington, may have led to Washington's success at Trenton and Princeton.
