There is a statue to Sybil Ludington in Carmel, near the County Courthouse. It would be worth contacting the Putnam County Historian.

I took a phone inquiry from a Texas publisher trying to verify the existence and historic association of this woman (either spelling) who may have undertaken a ride to warn of a British advance in either Massachusetts or New York during the Revolution and is reputed to have historical markers erected to her deed, possibly in New York, and a DAR statue erected to her memory, possibly in Carmel, NY.

There have recently been some exchanges on another listserv regarding this woman, but so far nothing resolved.

Can anyone shed light on her?
