However, the Battle of Germantown, and the Continental Army's involvement at White Marsh and Valley Forge, occurred afterSeptember, 1777. Germantown was early October, 1777; Washington's Army was camped at White Marsh (Peter says "Wide Marsh") in November, 1777 and the battle at White Marsh occurred in early December; the Continental Army then marched to winter quarters at Valley Forge,reachingtheir 1777-1778winter quarters onDecember 19, 1777. Peter Cline testifies that he participated in these marches, which occurred after he indicates that he left the service. Also, the Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey occurred onJune 28, 1778 and was the last major battle in the Middle Colonies.
