After a month or so of pause on this project, I finally found the time to delve into the list of Revolutionary War veterans buried in Norwalk, Connecticut. Of the 59 names on that list, several had extensive battle experience in George Washington’s Army. Others served for a month or so at a time. Of the research accomplished, reference to Norwalkers who were killed during the Revolutionary War resulted in only two names. They are Captain Seth Seymour and Private John Street. One was Wounded in Action – Lt William Seymour. He was wounded in the attack on Fort Griswold in Groton Heights, CT. This battle lasted less than an hour. The British attack was led by Benedict Arnold. When the gates were opened to surrender, the commander of the fort, Colonel William Ledyard, was executed. Lieutenant Seymour survived his wounds and lived to be 86 years old and fathered 7 children.
Many of the last names of these heroes relate to prominent families in Norwalk at the time and many have streets in their family name. Examples: Betts (4), Comstock, Fitch, Gregory, Hanford (2), Keeler (2), Lockwood (4), Marvin (2), Raymond (7), St. John (4), Scribner, Selleck, Hoyt (4), Seymour (3).

Well worth my time.

Honor Norwalk CT veterans 
Did you happen to come across a “Captain Gibbs”? According to a Norwalk Gazette story with the account of Lafayette’s visit to Norwalk in 1824, he recognized and greeted Captain Gibbs who then led him into the Norwalk Hotel.

No, not in the research of the Revolutionary War. I did find a Captain David Gibbs (1788-1840) who fought in the War of 1812. It’s quite possible it’s the same Captain Gibbs who greeted Lafayette.
