Epilogue.

Robert and Sarah were legally married one month later. It was a quiet affair, with only close family and friends. All the members of the Culper ring attended, and although he could not make a personal appearance, Washington sent a letter of congratulations and thanks to the couple for their service.

After some protest from Robert, Caleb was made Robbie's godfather. He would often travel across the Sound to visit his godson and they would get into all sorts of mischief together.

The Townsends also remained close friends with the Woodhull's, and their sons grew up to be close friends. They even enlisted together, although Robbie was the only one to make it home. Although they tried, they never had more than their one son who went on to become a very successful merchant.

Robert and Sarah grew old together. They lived out their days in peace on their farm, enjoying the freedom that had been hard fought, and hard won.
