  • Notes 
    • ********************************************************
      As the county seat, Newtown played a strategic role during the Revolutionary War. Newtown not only had the courthouse and jail, but also housed the county treasury. The treasury proved to be an irresistible temptation to the Doan gang, a band of Tory sympathizers, who terrorized the countryside during the Revolutionary War. On the night of October 22, 1781, the Doan gang rode into town and broke into the house of County Treasurer John Hart who lived on State Street. They captured Hart and after ransacking his house, forced him to take them to the county treasury where they promptly relieved it of its entire contents.
