In March, 1778, Captain William Ledyard was appointed to the command of the posts of New London, Groton and Stonington, with the rank and pay of major. Under his direction the works were repaired and strengthened and additional batteries erected. William Latham was captain of artillery at Groton and Adam Shapley at New London. In Connecticut Colonial Records, volume xv. , We read: "Voted. That Ebenezer Ledyard, Esq. , apply to Mr. Jonathan Chester, of Groton, for liberty for the engineers at Gr...oton to convey as much of said Chester's land as shall be wanted for the use of the fort there, and agree with said Chester upon some good men to apprize such land on oath to be purchased by the colony and make a report thereof to the general assembly in May next.
