Hi, I'm sure that you'll get more informed sources of information on Sybil Luddington, but I remember learning that she rode through what is now Putnam County to warn of the arrival of the British. I went to Girl Scout camp in the 1950s in Luddingtonville, which in my memory was close to Fishkill, and definitely close to where they built I-84. I don't know if that was named for her or if was family property. Hope this helps.

There have recently been some exchanges on another listserv regarding this woman, but so far nothing resolved. Can anyone shed light on her?
