Wolcott, Oliver
Oliver Wolcott was born in Windsor, Connecticut on November 26, 1726. He
supported a friendly compromise over a conflict between Connecticut and
Pennsylvania concerning the Wyoming settlement. Had this conflict not been
resolved, it would have really threatened the success of the confederacy.
Later, as a commander of the Connecticut militia, he defended the
southwestern border of Connecticut against the British Army. He was
elected to be Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut and later became the
Governor of the state. Oliver Wolcott died on December 1, 1797.
