As Connecticut points with especial pride to the record of her ons in the Revolution and in the war for the preservation of the Jnion, so may Seymour to the record of those who went from within er boundaries to peril their lives in defense of their homes, their berty and rights. The number has been large in proportion to the opulation, but in the earlier wars the records are not complete, nd a perfect list is impracticable. It is not alone to the soldiers at he front, during the War of the Revolution, that honor is due, but o those also who, while detained at home by reason of age or ther sufficient cause, were active in supplying the wants of the oldiers and their families, and in such measures as were impera- vely necessary to be carried out to insure the success of the patri- t cause, of which the faded records of 1775-1783 give evidence. The names found upon the records and gleaned from various relia- ble sources, are here given.
