Box xii, Packet 39-48
Forty-eighth Camp at Canterbury. 7-8 November 1782. Ten miles from the preceding camp at Windham. The stream at the bottom of the map is the Little River. The campsite is on high ground south of the road (present State Route 14) before reaching "Westminster Meeting," the building shown to the left of a small triangular bulge in the road. The rebuilt eighteenth-century church still stands on this spot. The "Meeting-house" shown at the top of the map in the village of Canterbury proper is on the site of the present Congregational Church (built in 1805). Although the army had passed along this route in June 1781, it did not then camp at Canterbury; cf. No. 16.

In 1782 the town of Voluntown included territory that was later, in 1794, incorporated separately as the town of Sterling.
