Erastus Wolcott
" Erastus Wolcott was a favorite son of Connecticut of commanding talents, a strong lawyer, an ardent patriot, a good citizen, a brave officer, an honest man. He rose to the rank of Brigadeer-General. He was on the Bench of the Superior Court of his state. His measure of usefulness became full in 1798 when the hermetical seal of death closed his bright career."
