Editor of the Grinning—Your valua-

the following authentic bit of Wilton
history.
Wilton Feb. 81h, SAMUEL FANCHER.
A WILTON TORY.
In {he year 1770 there lived upOn Drum
Hill in Wilton parish, a man named
Thomas Dunn. He was a farmer of
quiet habits and mingled little with his
neighbors. When the Revolutionary
war broke out, Dunn expressed no in-
terest and took no active pirt. Appar‘
ently to hear the news he often visited
the village tavern and store, but seldom
entered into conversation. The patriots
took no trouble to conceal their senti-
ments or plans when he was present.
The farmers of this section sufi'ered
greatly from bands who stole beeves,
poultry and every kind of produce and
escaped by reaching the Sound and
taking their plunder in boats during
the night. It was evident that they
were well informed, but no one sus-
pected Thomas Dunn. At length the
British landed a detachment near West-
port to pillage and terrorize the patri-
ots. This force after burning Danbury
was brought to a stand at Ridgefield,
and in the battle that ensued,lApril .27,
1777, Gen. Wooster was killed. During
the night of this day they burned sev-
eral houses as signals to their vessels
upon the Sound. Eirly next morning
they marched through'Bald Hill to Wil—
ton Center, here they built fires and
bivouacked on the hill 2‘. few miles south
of ' rs. Nathan Comstcck’s. The nearest
house at that time was the Gregory
place. Here the family took refuge in
the cellar. The soldiers amused them-
selves by shooting out the glass of the
windows. After dinner they resumed
their march, going past the place now
owned by Prof. Edward Olmstead and
the Judge Davenport place, to the
Danbury road and turning south
through Kent to the Westport road.
Let us now return to our Tory spy.
Just as the British columns descended
the hill where the Episcopal church
now stands, Dunn was seen With his
gun upon his shoulder to enter the road
from the field just north of the Bette
place, hasten over the bridges and at
the juncture of the roads fall into their
ranks, evidently as their guide, the pa-
triots of Wilton then understood things
that had long been a mystery—i spy
had lived among them.
This story was told me long years ago
byarespected citizen of Wilton who
lived very near to Revolutionary times,
and his father knew Thomas Dunn and
saw him join the Red Coats at Fitch’s
corner.
