7th Connecticut-- Part 2: Nathan Hale Was In It

I found another source on the 7th Connecticut during the American revolution which said that a Nathan Hale commanded the Third Company of this regiment.

He was commissioned a lieutenant July 6, 1775, and promoted to captain September 1, 1775.  A discharge was given him on December 10, 1775.

Wikipedia lists him as being born in Coventry, Connecticut where he joined that colony's militia before being appointed 1st lieutenant in the 7th Connecticut.
