David Wooster was the first major general of the Connecticut troops in the Army of the Revolution and a brigadier general of the United Colonies.

Of his country, Wooster said, “My life has been ever devoted to her service from my youth up. Though never before in a cause like this – A cause for which I would most cheerfully risk, nay, lay down my life.”
