  	For this act of treason, as determined by the Committee of Safety, Phineas Hurd and Benjamin Eastman were arrested on August 22, 1777. Eastman recanted his actions and swore allegiance to the America and was released. Phineas Hurd refused to recant and was jailed. He escaped, how is not known. However, sometime later it was reported to the Captain (his neighbour) that Phineas was at home. The Committee of Safety convinced a friend of the Hurds to get Phineas to meet him. When Phineas appeared, he was taken into custody without the opportunity to speak to his family. They never saw him again. Phineas was however, allowed to contact a family friend, Israel Burritt, and have him tell Anna what had happened. The general opinion of the day was that Phineas was held prisoner on a prison ship moored at the mouth of the North River. On December 31, 1777, the ship mysteriously burned, killing all on board, including Phineas.
