Person:Timothy Lull (1)

A captain in the Revolutionary War. He founded Rutland, VT. " In the spring of 1763 paddled his family up the Connecticut River from Dummerstan in a hollowed-out-log canoe. Lull's Brook in the southern part of the town, was christened by spilling a bottle of liquor in the presence of his family, no trivial gesture to make at that distance from any source of further supply".
