-Interesting note about Norwalk-- British forces under General William Tryon arrived on July 10, 1779 and almost completely destroyed Norwalk; only six houses were spared. After the Revolutionary War, many residents were compensated for their losses with free land grants in the Connecticut Western Reserve in what is now Ohio; this later became Norwalk, Ohio.  So many of our cousins who had remained in Norwalk found themselves after the War in Ohio.  Also included was Greenwich in the so-called “fire lands”, both Samuel and his son Drake Seymour were listed with those who would participate in land grants in Huron and Erie Co.’s Ohio, but it seems that neither would leave and take the land.  According to the list Samuel lost 195 pounds, and Drake 123 pounds.  I’m assuming that this is Drake’s father, my 6XGreat grandfather Samuel, and not his brother (see tree). wHis brother Samuel was enlisted as a private in the army, and was not listed on his father's will.  He may have died fighting for the country's independence, but I can find no record of him after his enlistment, so can't be sure.
