The Other Spy Ring — Mersereau Ring

---

Because of the AMC Series TURN, everybody knows about the Culper Ring but there was another spy ring operating in New York at the same time — The Mersereau Ring. Like the Culper Ring, the Mersereau Ring operated throughout the New Brunswick and New York regions that gathered intelligence on British military activity at the British Headquarters in and around New York City. These spies informed General Washington of that the British were preparing to pursue the retreating Continental Army across the Delaware River and had intentionally sunk boats with the purpose of floating them to transport troops across the Delaware. Mersereau discovered the boats and removed them, allowing the Continental Army to escape without pursuit. The Mersereau Ring also warned Major Benjamin Tallmadge about plans for British Major John André to meet with General Arnold and surrender of West Point to the British.
