While Rochambeau's 1781 report on the Yorktown Campaign should have put an end to the legend, its contents were not broadly known by many who were attracted to the rumor. There were many at the time who speculated and perpetuated the myth of the Yorktown Campaign having been conceived at Wethersfield -- some even suggested earlier. Eventually, Rochambeau and Washington addressed these assertions in post war documents.

As he planned for the Yorktown campaign, Washington was desperate for hard specie to pay the troops. He wrote to Robert Morris, "I must entreat you, if possible, to procure one months pay in specie for the detachment under my command. Part of the troops have not been paid anything for a long time past and have upon several occasions shown marks of great discontent,"[2] an understated reference to the mutinies and general unrest that were occurring among the troops.

He said he will work with the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce, businesses, local media and surrounding communities to organize a conference to discuss small-business concerns and solutions. In addition, plans to set up a committee of officials from the public and private sector.
