Liberty Trail History Makers
The Revolutionary War was a war unlike any other — one of ideas and ideals, that shaped “the course of human events. Explore the history and personalities from this pivotal time in American history.
Hannah Caldwell of Connecticut Farms, New Jersey was a civilian casualty of the American Revolution. She died instantly when a British soldier fired into her home on June 7, 1780. Recognized as a patriot by the Daughters of the American Revolution, her gravestone reads, "was killed at Connecticut Farms by a shot from a British Soldier. Cruelly sacrificed by the enemies of her husband and her country.”
Frontier surveyor turned Patriot officer, William Lenoir carried the Revolution into North Carolina’s backcountry—fighting at Kings Mountain, surviving the chaos of Pyle’s Massacre, and emerging from war as one of Wilkes County’s most enduring civic leaders.
Martha Dandridge Custis Washington made her own mark as the first First Lady and symbol of motherhood in the new nation.
A militia captain from Lexington, Parker played a pivotal role in the first battle of the American Revolution at Lexington Green in April 1775, where he led his men against British forces.
