About William Ledyard

Lieutenant-Colonel William Ledyard was an American military officer, who served in the Connecticut Militia in the Revolutionary War. During the conflict, he commanded Fort Griswold in Groton, Connecticut, which was attacked by British forces led by Benedict Arnold. In the battle, the fort was captured by the British. Ledyard allegedly surrendered his sword to Loyalist officer Major Stephen Bromfield, who immediately killed him with it. In 2023, author John Steward gave a presentation on him at the Bill Memorial Library in Groton.
