 Paulding,
JOHN, patriot, and one of the captors of
Andre; born in
New York City in 1758. Three
times he was made a prisoner during the Revolutionary War, and had
escaped, the second time, only four days before the capture of
Andre. He and his associates received from Congress a silver medal
each, and were awarded an annuity of $200. In 1827 a marble monument
was erected by the corporation of New York City in St. Peter's
churchyard near Peekskill, as a memorial of him. He died in
Staatsburg, New York, February 18, 1818. |
