Notizen zu dieser Person
Medad Hills served in the revolutionary war as a gunsmith who rose to the rank of Colonel. Medad Hills was appointed captain in December, 1776, and raised his company from Goshen, Torrington, and Winchester. Hills resided in Goshen, near the Torrington line, and is celebrated for the guns which he made during the war more than for the battles he fought; for the reason that his guns have been seen more than his battles have been heard of, although he was a brave and honored soldier. He is said to have been in command of two companies at the taking of New York city by the British, and to have conducted himself and his men to the honor of his country in that perilous time. The several volunteer companies of the state (Conn.) this year were put into one regiment and the assembly appointed Noadiah Hooker, colonel; James Root, lieut. col., and Medad Hills, major. Mr. Hills was afterwards appointed colonel. History of Torrington, Connecticut: from its first settlement in 1737, with biographies and genealogies, Chapter XVIII. Torrington in war times
