Samuel Wyllys(1739-1823) was an American military officer and aConnecticutpolitician.

Wyllys was born January 7, 1739, and served as an officer in theAmerican Revolution.[1]In 1775, he was appointed lieutenant colonel in ColonelJoseph Spencer\'s2nd Connecticut Regiment. on July 1, he was promoted to Colonel, and commanded the regiment until January 1, 1776, when the 2nd Connecticut was reorganized as the22nd Continental Regiment. Wyllys remained in command of the regiment, serving in theSiege of Bostonuntil the British evacuation on March 17, and then marched withGeorge Washingtonto New York. He saw action in theBattle of Long Islandand served in the New York vicinity until the end of the year.[2]

From 1777-1781, Colonel Wyllys commanded the3rd Connecticut Regimentin theConnecticut Line, serving under GeneralSamuel Holden Parsons. His regiment served in the New York area throughout the remainder of the war. He was later appointed Major General of the Connecticut Militia.

Following the war, Wyllys served as a representative in theConnecticut General Assembly, and as theSSecretary of Statefrom 1796 to 1809. He was the third consecutive member of the Wyllys family to hold the office; both his father and grandfather had previously served, beginning in 1712.[3]

Oliver Wolcott Jr-

He was a clerk in Connecticut\'s Office of the Committee on the Pay Table from 1781 to 1782, and a commissioner on that committee from 1782-1784. Wolcott was appointed in 1784 as one of the commissioners to mediate claims between the U.S. and the state of Connecticut. After serving as state comptroller of Connecticut from 1788–90, he was named auditor of the federal treasury, and becameComptroller of the Treasuryin 1791. He was appointed Secretary of the Treasury byGeorge Washingtonin 1795 to succeedAlexander Hamilton. In 1799, as Secretary of the Treasury, he designed theUnited States Customs ServiceFlag. Though, withTimothy PickeringandJames McHenry, he was one of three of the four members of Adams\'s Cabinet to offer persistent opposition to Adams\'s efforts to preserve peaceful relations withFranceand then to end the quasi-war with France, Adams did not request Wolcott\'s resignation at the time he sought McHenry\'s resignation and dismissed Pickering. Wolcott continued in office, but resigned on the last day of 1800 due to his growing unpopularity, and a particularly vitriolic campaign against him in the press in which, among other things, he was falsely accused of setting fire to theState Departmentbuilding.

He was appointed as a committee member pertaining to the construction of the monument at Groton Heights, commemorating the battle fought there on September 6, 1781.

Wolcott was one of PresidentJohn Adams\' so-called \"midnight judges\", appointed to a new seat as a federal judge on theUnited States circuit courtfor the Second Circuit, created by 2 Stat. 89, almost on the eve of Jefferson\'s inauguration in 1801.[1]Nominated by Adams on February 18, 1801, Wolcott was confirmed by theUnited States Senateon February 20, 1801, and received his commission the same day. Wolcott\'s service was terminated on July 1, 1802, due to abolition of the court.

From 1803 to 1815 he operated in private business inNew York City, afterwards retiring to Litchfield and farming. Wolcott lost a campaign forGovernor of Connecticutin 1816, running as a \"Toleration Republican\", against the Federalist Party to which he had once belonged. He ran again in 1817 and won, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather as governor, and serving ten years in the post. His tenure was noted for the economic growth and moderate policies that attended it. Additionally, he presided over a convention that created a newstate constitutionin 1818 and disestablished theCongregationalist Church. Nevertheless, he was defeated for reelection as Governor of Connecticut
