Rotary Moment: Bob Powers
This morning we heard a bit more about our town and its history. As this was a major supply route for the British, it seemed appropriate to cut this route off. The Battle of Hatboro (known as the Battle of Crooked Billet was led by a 23 year old General named John Lacey. In 1778, he had 300 men, some armed and some not. The British had 850 men and left Philadelphia with the intent of stopping the Militia from disrupting their supply lines.
