The Battle of Ridgefield

So mind-blowing to be in CT for the interment of the four persons discovered under a house built in the 1790s! I saw the uniform buttons from the unfortunate gentleman that someone cared enough about to give a decent burial. (The others were thrown down unclothed as far as can be determined.)
I also visited the graves of sundry members of the Hamilton family, at last discovering Uncle John's wife's stone, either placed or replaced near Norman and Eli Hamilton in the Pembroke Cemetery. I also visited the Knapps, Benjamin and Noah, father and son, in Old North Main in Danbury.
A memorable trip for sure. A culmination of my hope and attempt to bring the Revolution to the foreground of both imagination and reality.
