Oyster Battery

Oyster Battery: 1776, New York City. Located on high ground to rear and south of Trinity Church, intersection of Morris and Greenwich Streets to Rector and just east of Greenwich Streets. To the north (right flank) was Jersey Battery. May have also been known earlier as McDougall's Battery. Confusion here as maps sometimes show two batteries sometimes one name or the other, but never both)
