In Henry Johnson's The Yorktown Campaign and the Surrender of Cornwallis,
1781 (Freeport, NY: Books for Libraries Press, 1986) originally published
in the 1880s, he states that the French invaded Virginia during the war and
occupied Hanover.  This was news to me!  I did not read of this in Titus's
The Old Dominion at War, or any other source I checked.  Is Johnson just
plain wrong?  Hard to figure out where he would have come up with such a
notion, and were it true I'd think that there would be some evidence for
it.
