Actually aliitle tongue in cheek fabrication.

As a Rutgers alum I am steeped in our school's history, (BA History and PoliSci!). Rutgers students were excused from class so that could reinforce Washington's army at the Battle of Monmouth. Of course, Molly Pitcher, a real American Heroine was in the thick of the battle and is a well respected New Jersey Revolutionary!!!

There is a tavern in Toms River New Jersey that dates to the revolutionary days, is still a fine restaurant today and has one of those many historical markers which announce "Washington Slept Here!"
