The details of John Lloyd's statement to Col. Wells is escaping me, but it does make sense that, in his fear, he tried to deflect some of the federal attention to Austin Adams and the area around Allen's Fresh and Newport. Lloyd was very familiar with that area because it was his home territory as a child. The old Lloyd home (Milton Hill??), still stands in an area near Allen's Fresh known as Banks O'Dee.

I believe that Lloyd was arrested on his way back to Surrattsville on April 18 after having been down in his old Charles County haunts. I would not be surprised if he didn't pick up a lot of gossip (at least) while down there.
