Paul Peck

Paul Peck was the most expert hunter of the town in which he lived. At the Danbury Alarm (Rev. War) he put his long gun in order and followed the enemy to camp on their retreat and took a shot in behind a stone wall and every shot told until he was rushed upon by the enemy, who took his gun from him and dashed his brains out with it.

He was killed in the American Revolutionary War at Compo. He was known to be a woodsman and a trapper. He was killed in the Revolutionary War in 1777 (age 75) by the British when they burned the military stores at Danbury, Conn. He never married.
