On September 1, 1780, Captain Joshua Huddy was captured at Colts Neck by a band of Tories. While being conveyed across the river to what is now Sea Bright, the boat was fired upon by Colonial forces. Although wounded, Captain Huddy escaped by jumping from the boat and swimming to the western shore. Subsequently he was captured by the British and hanged on April 12, 1782 at the Highlands.
