The French Army in Ridgebury
Journal Entries & Commentary (1781)
“We could see that the front of the army had arrived as far as where Samuel Dibble lives and as far as we could see over Shelterock Hill, a distance of probably two miles the troops continued to come in sight. We got a stand at the chamber window in the house where Ammon Weed now lives and had a good view of them when they went by--I should judge now that they were two hours in passing the army and the Baggage wagons--which later took up more space than the former. know that at the time I began to think it had no end. The officers were thought to be a fine set of good looking men remarkably lively and well dressed but the soldiers formed a striking contrast. They were tawny and almost black and appeared like slaves which they then were or little better under the then despotic government of France."

GRIST MILLS of RIDGEFIELD, FAIRFIELD CO., CT

I found an article in a newspaper about the history of Ridgefield.
It said that the Hoyt Family constructed a mill in the mid-1700's. That may be where they learned the trade.

List of Cemeteries

http://jackfsanders.tripod.com/cemeteries.htm

The oldest is the “Burying Ground,” laid out by the first settlers in 1708. Located on Wilton Road East, just south of the Main Street intersection, the graveyard is marked with a monument reading: “Ye burying yard lay’d out ye Nov. 25, 1708 by the first settlers of the town of Ridgefield.”

The marker goes on to list 40 pioneers who are buried there as well as “an unknown British soldier killed at the Battle of Ridgefield.” The Village Improvement Society erected the monument in 1931 after vandals, thieves and the elements had destroyed most of the old stones.

Benjamin Hoyt II & Families are buried here aliong with fellow son, Samuel, another Rev. Sioldier as his Father.
