About Peter Colt……

Peter Colt was born at Lyme, Connecticut, in 1744. He entered Yale College but was compelled to leave in his junior year through failing health. In 1774 he was appointed one of the New Haven Town Committee of Correspondence. In 1775 he became military secretary to General Wooster. In 1777 Congress appointed him Deputy Commissary General of Purchases for the Eastern Department, which included New England and a part of New York, and this gave him the rank of colonel; he was subsequently an active assistant to Colonel Jeremiah Wadsworth in furnishing supplies to the French Troops under Rochambeau. From 1789 to 1793 he was Treasurer of Connecticut, but in the spring of the latter year he resigned and removed to Paterson, New Jersey, to take charge of the "Society for Establishing useful Manufactures." In 1796 he went to Rome, New York, to superintend the works of the Western Inland Lock Navigation Company, the forerunner of the Erie Canal. He died in 1824. He was an ancestor of the late Elisha Colt and also of Harris Colt, at present a member of the firm of Collins & Company in New York City.

Peter Colt was related to the Colt Firearms family.
