NYC: Trinity Churchyard - General John Lamb General John Lamb (1735-1800) was an liquor trader, military officer, and politician. Prior to the Revolutionary War, he was a leading member of the Sons of Liberty. When the news of the Battles of Lexington and Concord was received he and his men seized the military stores at Turtle Bay. Lamb was commissioned a captain of an artillery company and served under Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold in the Battle of Quebec and would go on to command the 2nd Continental Artillery Regiment during the Siege of Yorktown. In 1783 he was breveted a brigadier general and the following year was appointed Collector of the Port of New York. During the Constitutional debates in 1787 and 1788, Lamb came out at a staunch anti-Federalist, leading the fight against the Constitution in New York. Dismissed after it was found that his deputy was embezzling duties, he died in poverty. Trinity Church, prominently located at the terminus of Wall Street at 79 Broadway, is the oldest Episcopal church in New York City, having been consecrated on Ascension Day May 1, 1846. Designed by architect Richard Upjohn, Trinity is considered a classic example of Gothic Revival architecture. At the time of its completion, the 281-foot spire was the highest point in New York until being surpassed in 1890 by the New York World Building. The adjoining Trinity Churchyard Cemetery, opened in 1697, is one of three separate burial grounds that make up the non-denominational Trinity Church Cemetery (the others being the Churchyard of St. Paul's Chapel and the Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum at the Chapel of Intercession). Among the 1,186 interred here are Alexander Hamilton, William Bradford, Robert Fulton (memorial tribute), Captain James Lawrence, Horatio Gates, and Albert Gallatin. There are also memorials to 16 officers of the Continental Army and Navy buried in the church cemeteries, and to the thousands of Americans who died in prison ships in New York Harbor. Trinity Church and Graveyard was designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966. National Register #76001252 (1982)
