Regarding Battle of Stone Arabia. This raid was enormously successful for the British. The winter encampment for the Continental Army in the winter of 1780-81 at Morristown was more severe than the one endured at Valley Forge, partly because of lack of food supplies caused by this raid.
Sir John Johnson was the son of William Johnson. William Johnson was the Indian agent for the British during the French and Indian War. He had built several forts and manors near Johnstown, NY and Amsterdam, NY
