Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Hierlihy was an Irish American settler who fought in the French and Indian War (1754–1763) and sided with the crown during the American Revolutionary War, after which he joined the Royal Nova Scotia Volunteer Regiment. When that disbanded he was granted land in Nova Scotia where he founded the town of Antigonish.
Early life
[edit]Hierlihy was born in Ireland in 1734.[1] In 1753, at the age of 19, he moved to America and settled in Middlefield, Connecticut.
On the 26 April 1755, at the beginning of the French and Indian War, Hierlihy enlisted as a private in the 2nd Connecticut Regiment.[2] On May 10 of that year he was married to Miss Elizabeth Wetmore, the daughter of a trainband officer. Their first son Timothy William was born in July.[3] On September 15 he was promoted to ensign, the lowest commissioned rank.[4] On the basis of his administrative abilities, on November 27 he was promoted to acting lieutenant serving as adjutant to Col. Jonathon Bagley at Fort Edward where he spent the winter.[5] The following summer he was at Fort William Henry preparing to attack Crown Point, but the campaign was cancelled after the loss of Fort Oswego, and the regiment returned home and was disbanded.[6] In the following March he purchased land and a house adjacent to his father-in-law.[7]
In 1758 he got his first command as Captain of No.7 Company of the 1st Connecticut Regiment.[8] He took part in the Battle of Carillon and despite a terrible defeat with the loss of over 2000 men, Hierlihy survived unharmed.[9] By the end of the war he held the rank of Major.[10]
