About Consider Tiffany
- Consider Tiffany (March 15, 1732 – June 19, 1796) was a British loyalist, storekeeper, and sergeant during the French and Indian War.
- He is described in the book The Tiffanys of America by Nelson Otis Tiffany: "in addition to making his living as a storekeeper and a farmer, was a brave soldier, good churchman, a writer of prose and poetry, and astronomer." To date, his journal is the only firsthand account written of Nathan Hale's capture during the American Revolution.Tiffany was one of the first settlers of West Hartland, Connecticut.
- One of his manuscripts was donated to the Library of Congress by his patrilineal descendant, G.
- Bradford Tiffany.
- It is viewed by historians as an important primary source document for understanding the American Revolution and America's first spy, Nathan Hale.
- Tiffany wrote a broadside in a thirty four-stanza verse, called "Of the Melancholy Death of Six Young Persons Who Were Killed by Lightning in the Month of June, 1767", noting the deaths of Martin Wilcox, James Rice, Sarah Larkim, Joseph Young, Curtis Chuet, and William Burt.
- Another edition, with slight textual variations and eight additional stanzas also exists.
