Sybil Ludington, age 16, was sent on a horse to warn the nation that the "British are coming." She rode 40 miles (twice as far as Paul Revere.)

The ride occurred on April 25, 1777. It started at her home, near Kent, NY. She rode all night, alerting the militia men in the area that the British had raided Danforth, Connecticut where colonial supplies were stored.

She married Edmund Ogden, an attorney, to become what she really wanted to be, a wife and mother. On her grave her name is spelled Sibbell. She signed it Sebal on a pension application and it is listed as Sibel in the 1810 census.

There is a statue of her on horseback at Carmel, NY.

Her favorite thing to do was ride her horse, Star. Sybil Ludington named Star that because of the mark on its forehead.

She was 17 years old whose father was an officer with the militia and he asked her to ride to warn. She had to be a good horsewoman to do what she did and very brave.
