I would like to thank Chairman DAVIS and Ranking Member WAXMAN for their help in moving this bill through the Government Reform Committee. I would also like to thank Jeffrey Schulz. the Fair Haven Town Manager. and the Fair Haven Select Board for supporting this legislation. Matthew Lyon was bom in Dublin. Ireland. on July 14. 1749. and immigrated to colonial America in 1765 as an indentured servant. In 1774 he purchased land in the area of the Hampshire Grants now known as Wallingford. Vermont. and soon after joined Ethan Allens Green Mountain Boys militia where he led his own unit in defending their land from competing claimants as well from British attacks from the north.
