Mary Ledyard

Notes:

"Early in life he (Jonathan) married Mary, daughter of Youngs Ledyard 1st of New London, Connecticut, niece to Col William Ledyard, who fell in 1781 at Fort Griswold. She was in New London at the time of the descent of Arnold, and on the morning after the massacre on Groton Heights went with her cousin, Miss Fanny Ledyard of Long Island (later Mrs. peters) to the relief of the wounded. In describing it she always said they stepped over their shoe tops in blood in the barn where the wounded lay. She was a woman of uncommon force of mind and character. She died in Chazenovia, May 31, 1806."
