also, the famous painting of them crossing the Delaware was painted in Germany almost 75 years after the war ‘ended’. hard to say who was really there.

If memory serves, Prince Whipple was also one of the people represented in the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware. Do I have that right?

Here’s your answer 😉 and your memory is pretty good:
[T]he rower by Washington’s knee, who is a person of color, is said to be a man named Prince Whipple. Though Prince Whipple was an African who served in the Revolution, there is no documentation to state that Prince Whipple was present at the crossing. There were many people of color present at the crossing as the Marbleheader unit from Massachusetts was a well integrated group of seafaring men. They took the lead role in rowing General Washington and his troops across the River.

However, this is probably not Prince because he was an aide to William Whipple during the war and from what I’ve read, William was not at the crossing.
